Met John in Ottawa about 13 years ago when we took our kids to see him because he was one of the few clean acts. After a great show in which I never saw my wife and kids laugh so much, we bought one of his audio CDs and stood in line to get it autographed. When it was finally our turn, he immediately noticed we only had one cd between the kids and proceeded to give us another one and sign them both. He was such a personable man. You felt like you'd known him forever. The whole family was so sad to hear of his passing. He is missed but not forgotten.

John was a natural. My best find of 2024. 😂😂😂

"FROSTY'S DEAD!" 🤣😂😆

"If it doesn't have a casino and a buffet it ain't seaworthy" LMAO

Miss this guy...💔 Not only the funniest story teller... but his facial expressions are hysterical...😂

RIP JOHN PINNET 🙏 😢 WE MISS YOU SO MUCH 😢

What a legend! That Ewok impersonation was on point! RIP you wonderful human!

John was a true talent. I'm the guy who is hard to make laugh and John could make me laugh just seconds into his act. You are truly missed.

I just recently discovered John about 1 month ago. Today is February 2, 2024. He is soooo funny he makes my tummy hurt. I wish I had discovered him much earlier on KZfaq. I'm soooo happy many people have added his videos to KZfaq

Man, I ❤ John...may he RIP😢. As a big guy, myself, even rewatching his videos, I'm always damn near crying with laughter. Such talent to pick on himself, come up with such hilarious routines ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

What a gift he was

"You applauded for beavertails. You really are my people." Oh, John, we were your people the day you first stepped on a stage. The world is a much darker place for your absence, "beeg boi", you are greatly missed. RIP

Decades later I still crack up. I’m from ottawa. January is hell. And yes beaver tails are a real thing.

The world is less of a place without John in it.

ONE OF THE GREATEST people in the world. RIP ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

John you are truly missed , thank you for so many smiles.

this guy is an ABSOLUTE crack up ...I cant believe first time i see him in 2024 ....after another small jewel i got sent on instagram...now i cant get enough of it!!!😂🤣

I cried..of laughter and sadness too…miss that man..

I love John! I watch his comedy specials over and over. I love his facial expressions and how he giggles at his own jokes. Every time I see him I wish I could just give him a big hug. So funny, such a darling, personality. Wish I could’ve met him. He’s in my top three favorite comedians. Miss him!

each time that I watch this, I laugh harder than before.

RIP John, you were a great comic.

I just had him come up in my feed and it's bittersweet that I'm just getting to know him. Now I get to search for all his stuff at once but I wish I knew about him all these years.

Nay nay!!! What a catch phrase, that and "get out of line!!?"

My all time favorite! So funny and something that should be appreciated is the work he puts into his routines. He was a comedic master. It's now Dec 30, 2023, and I still take every opportunity to introduce John to everyone. How many times have some of us seen these video's? And, we laugh every time. His Montreal video's are very special.

I've watched his material over and over again

Now this is the kind of celebrity you want to meet! I wish I’d known about him when he was touring. I only saw him on tv. Seems very down to earth. 👍

Great Comedian really funny guy. You don't mind hearing him over and over.

It's sad when the great comedians die young . I never had a chance to see John Pinette.

What talent this man was..so happy to see these clips again..

Pure natural talent. RIP JP 😔

Great! I am from the UK. I have discovered this brilliant comedian on youtube. He makes me laugh out loud. I am going to follow him! Imagine how devastated to find out he has passed on. What a tragedy. RIP to a great guy I never knew.

"I hit the water...oh God! Those people shouldn't have been there!" XD

Great humour and stories, I only recently discovered John and really enjoy the shows. RIP John. Heaven has a great soul.

John Pinette was such a delightful comedian. He didn't have to spray us with foul language to be comical. Funny, how comedians seem to think foul language is necessary, but I digress. He had such wonderful gifts! The expressions on his face were priceless. His coined phrase, "Nay! Nay!" cracks me up every time I hear him say it. After hearing his impressions, (in my opinion) he also, could have had other careers to choose from, although, I am very glad John chose comedy. His comedy still entertains the many, and will continue as long as we remember. I wonder if he had any idea how much he would be missed by his fans? As far as I am concerned, the happiness and laughter that John Pinette left behind, will not be forgotten! Rest in Peace, you dear man!

“Peakaboo Pinette” 😂😂😂 God I miss this guy!

"Hiking is a walk that sucks." God I miss this man!

Ive watched this over and over and still laugh as hard as if it was my first time..such a funny man..RIP

What a amazing man.couldnt stop laughing please keep the views available

Absolutley brilliant

You Go Now!! You Been Hee’aah Fo’ Owaaah’

He makes it look so easy and effortless. Genius 👍.

For all his "bluster", he had such a good heart. You can see how much he loved his audience and how it returned the sentiment in equal measure.

ONE OF THE BEST

I love when he laughs at his own jokes! Lol

I could watch John's routines over and over again! May he rest in peace.

My Gawd. Dude was a Comedic Genius.

Will truly miss this incredible young mans comedy in my life! Why does it seem like only the good die young?.. One of the absolute best comics I've ever had the pleasure to listen to, the man had a style and stories all his own.

Didn't he have the sweetest smile?

I cant believe I had never heard this guy. He was truly hilarious, I wish I could have seen him

I swear, John could have been a great singer.

Only came across John Pinette recently, on KZfaq … odd that I’d never heard of him, because he’s the kind of comic I’d have thought would appeal to the British sense of humour. When I heard that he’d passed it kind of reminded me of John Candy, another young comic taken too soon. RIP you were a funny guy :)

I'm sad that I only recently have heard of the man. But not only do I mourn for him, but also the country at large . . . because he was what we'd only consider hefty today.

A true talent RIP John

John! You Will Be Missed. There will Never be another you.

What a guy applause from southampton United Kingdom

John was truly awesome! I have an old VHS tape with one of his comedy routines! 34 dislikes seriously? 34 miserable people and more sadly! What losers! Society today stinks! Peace to all his fans!

Is ,was and always will be funny. As one of your people, thank you for your continued therapy RIP John

This is what you call a great comedian

His story about buying a warranty for toaster made me laugh because a cashier in Walmart asked me if I wanted to buy a warranty for a $12.00 meat thermometer. Really… Miss John, he is hilarious.

He really Was An Amazing Person, insight insight kind of person . Really Wish He Was Still Around

It takes a lot to make me laugh. But, I laughed so hard my sides, my chest and my stomach hurt.

One of the very best! A G.O.A.T.!!!!

Mr. PINETTE IS SORELY missed! 🥺. An AWESOME Comedian!! 😔😭💖

R.I.P. John you were hilarious and you will be missed.

😂YO the Eewok impression was PERFECT

Truly the best of clean intelligent comedy

Gone but he will Never be Forgotten. RIP 🙏. If I'm having a bad day John makes me forget what was bothering me. 🙏🙏

Mont Gabriel is the first hill i ever ski ! lol

God I miss John. He brought a lot of smiles to this world.

He is so good at everything he does. You are truly missed 😢

This is one of his best performances in my opinion.

He was so funny. I miss him.

Damn he was brilliant. Sadly missed. MY favourite comedian.

The ability to self-depricate is a hallmark of good comedians. John always had that down.

One of the few comedians I wished I could of met and give of hugged for the joy he brings

What fantastic entertainment!!!

I would say he was an adorable toddler.

Rest In Peace John Pinette comedy legend god bless never forgotten 🕊️🤍🕯️🕊️🤍🕯️🕊️

One of the greats. Too bad we don't have more funny comedians like this in 2018.

Genius!!! I truly miss this man

The dude could really sing. He should have done it more.

This guy is so funny 🤣 back in those days was so great 🤣🤣

Thank you for all you gave us John. We were always going to wish for more. I know wherever you are and whatever is next, with John it will have laughter. John Pinette thank you for all the enjoyment you brought to every stage or gathering.

He was adorable. What a talented comedic genius. Why do the great ones leave us?

I can just see him in a white ski suit flying down the mountain. 😂

Comedy comes from hardship and sadness and unfortunately John's comedy poking fun at his food addiction was just a precursor to his early death. That said, I always admired him and I particularly applaud his recognition as an American to adjust his routine for a Canadian audience and his acknowledgements in French. Classy and respectful.

John, thanks for all the laughs.I will see you again. Hope you are still telling your stories

God Bless and R.I.P. old buddy. Funniest man I have ever seen.

RIP, you were a very funny man.

best of John in Montreal. The one and only. miss him. i watch this a lot.

Is there a Comedian i WISH i could have seen more than John? I say NAH-NAH!!

The Water Park bit is a classic.

He makes me cry laughing every time........we miss him

John was a true master of his craft in so many ways.

My nephew’s name is Will; John is a family favorite, and one of Will’s nicknames is Free Weary

THE BEST!!

Can not believe I never heard of this guy. Dude is hilarious. Really really funny.

I LOVE that he shat upon Scare Canada and their horrible service.

I just found out he passed...M so sorry to hear this...Rest in Peace big man!

Yes; he was a funny guy and talented actor
