What he said about being uncomfortable walking behind white women at night is actually very true...
It's almost the same feeling as eating a piece of chicken in a white restaurant.
Just try being a white dude walking around Beale St at night. I wouldn’t describe it as uncomfortable, I’d call it damn near frightening and I’m probably lucky to be alive.
I’m a white guy and I feel uncomfortable
Yep. And when you see them grip their handbag or move it to the arm furthest away from you. I always tell them "nobody's going to fucking rob you"
Bro you rname is Dogs and Yoga, I think you got a lot in common with them.
How is nobody talking about how fire his beat boxing was?
Love Train Not as good as his ping pong though 😄 I’m sure you can find the clip here somewhere.
It comes to him naturally. He was born able to do that.
Oh I thought a dj played each time oops
Got his beats on 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wait everyone can't do that?
Jokes and beatboxing aside, the delivery of this guy is completely unlike anyone I've ever seen. He's just so naturally funny and charismatic.
ABSOLUTELY. You can almost believe the nigha was just chillin outside by his demeanor but his material is dope
He's a pro actor mostly
yeah only thing that was just a bit weird how he squinted or took his arms in lol he was like laughing internally
Yes! He is great
Aka he's a black boomer lol
"you have to take care of yourself Denzel" I'm 💀😂
"I'm actually not a comic, I was outside the club chilling"😂😂😂
"Do you want $5 or not?"
He had them dying from the start. 😂😂
Killed me from the start hahaha
Fake or not....I really believe him😂😂
Mack Man 😂😂😂
Homeless Idris Elba is best Idris Elba.
Lmao
I thought it was him at first.. 😂😂
I thought it was Irish Elba at 1st
lol. I thought idris was out here telling jokes
AJ Welsh right!!!!
“And he drives me to safety” I was dead💀💀
"and my name is not Vishnu"
I lost it😂😂
"Get out of the street brother!"
"Vishnu, there are white women everywhere"
"Holy shit get in!"
That accent killed me! 🤣
😂😂😂
As my name is not vishnu.....tushé nigga.....vroooom #imdead
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kinda racist lol
Akber Naqvi Lol a joke on the phrase often used with minority groups (due to less exposure) that they “all look the same.” That touché bit was hilarious!
“Police men and white women are very dangerous” lmao!
Facts!
White's cross the street a lot when I walk home at night. I'm 120 pounds 5'9 an look like white Jesus. An I aways get stopped by police well anytime there's no poor looking brown people around. Maby cop's should be tested for mental health problems often.
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE................
@@beareble-lion4446 they should.
Deadasss facts
Wow... all of a sudden, in light of recent events, this brilliant set is TOTALLY relevant!
Honestly they need to play this before the “Let’s Talk About Race and Gender” mandatory training. At least people can crack up while they get offended.
He captures every nuance. Every single paradox.
Not to try be the least fun person in the party but that is a misuse of the term "in lieu of". The term means "instead of" so you would be saying "instead of recent events, this brilliant set is totally relevant". So I think it would be more appropriate to say "in light of recent events, this brilliant set is totally relevant". Hope this was helpful.
Hashme Sdk Yes, you are the "party buzzkill"...But, you are correct. "In light of..." is accurate and better.
DeeCee Comedy This amicable resolution is so heartwarming I’m like 1:01
Always has been 🔫
This cat is underrated.
He leads with,
"I'm actually not a comic. I was outside just chill'n."
😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣
"You wanna make $5?"
Priceless
🇵🇷✊🏾
that Indian taxi driver impression tho! 😂🤣🤣
Katherine Cabula sounds like Sadh Guru
"Vishnu" lmao
I was offended on their behalf but I was laughing so hard at the same time
@@TCt83067695 Don't be. He was being anything but racist. In fact the whole bit about "My name is not Denzel...well, my name is not Vishnu" was critical of stereotyping, wouldn't you agree?
@@cobraimploder you're right. Everything was so on point I can't even stay mad lol
He's a legend in New York. I caught one of his comedy specials quite a few years ago and he still slays to this day. Comic genius.
I miss this guy. I hope he drops another special..
What's the name of the old special?
@@onpsxmember good question, can't recall the title.
I don't remember I'll try to figure out and get back to you.
It wasn't a special it was comedy central present season 13 episode 13
02:44 Vishnu: "Holy Sheet! Geteen!"
Even Vishnu understands lol 😂
The Amy Cooper incident in Central Park made me think of this set. SMH
Me too. That's why I'm here.
you get what like 5 white women calling cops for no reason and a few bad cops and label them all bad? dumb
@@hannajean8204 Ah yes of course. It has only happened 5 times, and there only "a few bad cops" out there.
@@hannajean8204 who labeled them all bad?
@@M0053yfate hannas in denial.
Hahaha! "Give me your wallet or I'm gonna scream."
Stop giving ideas
Too late for us all! Lol #fucked
this dude is the business
This is why I ask stupid relationship questions. Implied concent don't mean shit!..lol
Scream.
Effortlessly clever, he tackles so many issues altogether he could have written a social studies essay, instead he gave us a good laugh in very few words. This is high quality stuff!
I got nothing to add, except that he rocks the grey beanie like a champ.
Holy shit get in!!!
@Jarred Mueller No it's not just guys you got douchebag women also
@Jarred Mueller ummm.. wouldn't that still be considered a social issue?
@Jarred Mueller You didnt got the joke did you? that white women (i would say all) can just use their victim card deceitful behaviour to get what they want.
This guy could do voice acting with that kind of range, that’s impressive.
He does that Indian accent PERFECTLY 🤣
He’s been doing comedy for like 30 years he needs a Netflix special.
I used to sell tickets on 42nd to some of the comedy clubs he performed at. So happy for him!!!
He was on def jam. And on comedy central.
still one of my favorite comedians
Oh hell yeah
Have you seen his CC special? I personally loved it but it was pretty awkward at times haha But yes he should absolutely do another special!
Cop: "So you mean to tell me that a man of your stature couldn't catch her?"
BG: "What I look like chasing a white woman?"
I too watched this here video.
757 AT Yeah, but in this case he wasn't going to be chasing her for pussy. Bih ran off with his money like, "Hi! I'm Sarah. Give me your wallet or I'll scream." Fk was he supposed to do? She left him no other options
That line is genius. "What I look like chasin a white woman at night?" Fuccin genius!
TruPlayaStatis This guy is very very good . Way too many of this white woman comics, ALL they (these white woman comics go on and on about sex) tiresome. I give video link you will find it interesting here tis KAMALA HEY! Beatle tune gave (tuvokspock@gmail.com) the idea for this video. - CZcams
Brilliant!!!!
Greer Barnes is as great as he is because of just how much fun he's having on stage. He's laughing and having fun while not taking it too seriously
"What I look like chasing a white woman"
"and my name is not Vishnu. Touche *****"
😂 😂 😂
People dont realize, Greer used to open for Chappelle. He's hilarious live.
Was on Chappelle's show even.
He has a very Chappelle delivery on his ‘here take itttttt’ then slinks away like Chappelle would
That’s crazy I was wondering if Dave influenced him bc I definently caught a similar vibe
Yep!! and check his DeNiro impression.
He’s hilarious recorded too
"Hi my name is Sara. Give me your wallet." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
😆😅😂
I have grown up on stand up comedy, and have watched so many videos today that have made me laugh. But watching this dude, my side hurts, my face hurts, and I am CRYING. Perfect delivery
boring as F, 5/10, you have bad humor.
I love Greer Barnes so much, he should have a Netflix show, he's amazing!❤
“...Give me your wallet or I’m going to scream” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is killlllling meee. "Hi, I'm Sara... Gimmie your wallet."
Trippie Chris “Precious to every race” lol!
What a turn of events
freemayo legit tho right. Women too. We always treat women straight up different. If it was a trans woman tho. 😓
Trippie Chris Black women are just as valuable to us black men sir. We have mothers, sisters, cousins and daughters.
That white woman robber bit should be a regular sketch/character somewhere.
Saturday Night Live skit?
@@towallomeesgel1703 Yeah, they should hire him on as a writer and pay him to develop it.
Somewhat closely enough, on this most recent season of SNL, Idris Elba hosted and did a take on the "Incredible Hulk" where he would turn into an upset white woman. It was actually pretty funny, and fitting in this discussion given that this guy bares a strong resemblance to Idris.
@@towallomeesgel1703 I can already picture Cecily Strong rocking it.
Yes! A sketch of that would be epic and legendary
I love this bit so fucking much I randomly come back to it every few months just to hear it again.
Same here, lol.
I could listen to him talk all day, beautiful voice!
Honestly, i watch a lot of stand up but this is the first naturally funny guy ive seen, 0 effort needed. Everyone else tries to so hard, and hes there chilling and laughing along with the audience.
Bc he's a 55yr old Veteran comic & actor. Lol. All the Vets are comfy esp there at the Cellar where many start at. They know their worth & have perfected their craft.
Dave Chapelle, Chris D'ellia.. add homeless Idris Elba to the list
@@mrnigga3429 Joey Diaz.
This guy gets it.
He's definitely a true comic.
Ngl the people you lot just mentioned.....try a little harder than this guy. Especially they're new stuff. You'll find that their older material was a little better for some of them
Man he always has had this demeanor like he just walked on the stage from the bar and kills it
That was literally the funniest stand up bit I’ve seen in a while.
I bet it was
Was it, like, literally, like, tha funniest literal thing you ever, like, literally, like saw? ...OK Sarah
@@thagodwecreate5179 🤣🤣🤣😂 😂 💀💀💀
@@thagodwecreate5179 Her name is Hailey... and chill, she really could rob us out here. Don't give her no damn motivation.
Me too, but look here Hailey, You're not robbing me okay kiddo..
😁🤔👊👊😝✌
This guy’s accents and sound effects are on point. What made his jokes even funnier was the one lady that was dying in the background.
This is the 84th time I’m watching this set. Been a year and the jokes are even funnier now
I STG whenever it comes in my feed I click an still laugh, I wish he had more material on here. As good as he is, there's only about 15 minutes of different material uploaded
This is not just good comedy. This is a master class in walking in someone else's shoes.
Without being preachy about it!! That's talent! You empathise and laugh and think. This guy deserves more!
Mhmm
A masterpiece!
Someone else's shoes
dude's looks alot like homeless Idris Elba 👌🏻
But just as charming!
I dead thought it was him. He's Idris elbow
Idris Elba's smooth talkin' lost American Brother!
More like Uncle Idris😆
If he had changed that Denzel line to Idris I would have 💀
HAHAHA this set never gets old. This was hilarious man
The first 30 seconds of this are still my favourite set opener ever 😂
It’s scary how accurate this is 🤣
This guy knows his shit.
This is the 90 percent of the 50 percent of the 10 percent of Americans everyday.
No, it is not accurate its comedy. Thats why its funny because its not accurate.
@@mybrainsplayinguitar ummm no...its funny because its true. You laugh cause its stuff people go through and we kinda think we're the only ones going through it until someone speaks on it.
Comedy is just reality turned up slightly so it's believable but extreme.
@@mybrainsplayinguitar good stand up is telling an new story in a funny way.
GREAT stand up is telling a new funny story that everyone knows or can relate to.
What I look like chasing a white woman? 😂😂😂😂😂
That's a candidate for punchline of the year.
FACTS!!!!!!!
That quote is 2 deep😂
@@nonovyobiznez3735 What makes it hit so much harder, is that it don't just apply to brothas nowadays.
😂😂😂😂
This was a good set, but seriously tho don’t be giving these karens ideas!!!! 😳they bold enough already.
I love this guy, wish he had more content out cause so far everything has been top notch
“Touché Niggahh!”
he did the same joke on a late night show, and i was waiting for this part, just to be massively disappointed XD
@@daniboiyy why where you disappointed?
@@Regimeshifts on what planet can you actually go on national television and say "Touché, nigga" and like, get away with it? lmao
Except on planet BlaccBlacc, of course
@@SaintMu aye XD
“Fvrroooom”
He needs to have his own Netflix special! He’s hilarious 😂
But he didn't even mention his vagina once!
His cab 🚕 driver bit was hilarious 😂
His introduction was so underrated. It's brilliant and funny
*TOUCHE NIGGAAA*
Had me rolling
#VISHNU
Hell yeah man😂
I know, it's not funny if white people say it tho! hahahaahaah
What does touché ?
I almost choked on my soup when he called the taxi driver "Vishnu".
Ae7herium that's dangerous...l laughed so hard l choked on a sip of my Tea, it went down the wrong tube and l almost died! That's not a joke!
Right that caught me off-guard too lol
@@myoldfarmhouse4316 We/You; 'two point fingers to the eyes,' *We Know!*" BELIEVE THAT!!!!
Keep returning to this set, so good!
A perfect set start to finish⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This man has been my friend for over 35 years and he has been a working comedian for the last 25 years. He was in the Kevin Costner film “For The Love of The Game “ as centerfielder Mickey Hart and has appeared on numerous Television shows including, David Letterman, In Living Color, and lately Colbert! He has toured the world and opened for Dave Chappelle and Louis CK, both whom consider Greer one of their contemporaries and a master craftsmen of comedy. If you should find yourself in a place where he is performing Go See Him !!!
You will be happy you did!
Dats cool he's hilarious!
The white girls robbing people is the best joke I've heard in a while
Usually when white women rob a man it is in divorce court.
I'm thinking it might just work. Image a very cute white woman coming up to a black man saying that. He might just pay her to go away
@@davidbeppler3032 lmao
Like, I know. Right?
I need to hear a special this was fresh!
This is one of the best 5 minutes of comedy to ever hit the stage!
Funniest thing to me is when comics get a kick out of their own jokes, when they start laughing I cant help but laugh
Except when Chris D'elia does it.
Thomas Mitchell truth
Me, too! I love that!! 😃
I think the opposite it always takes me out of the joke when a standup is laughing at themselves
One of my favorite things about Greer. Seems like the dude comes up with material he'd love to hear some other stand-up perform, then performs it himself. Works like a charm.
Idris Elba making ends meet doing stand up during a recession
🤔😀😀😀
😭
Wow, that's pretty messed up.
His name's Denzel.
I thought I was the only one that thought he reminded me of Stringer Bell.. aka Idris Elba
Covid was really rough on him...
One of the funniest sets I’ve ever seen at the cellar
Where has he been. One of my favorite comedians
the most deserved $5 ever
He ain't even gotta take off his pants!
Most definitely lol
@@davidbeppler3032 im deaaad
Yes lol
Much, more dude!😮😯
Been crossing roads for decades now. First time I realize it’s a cross that many bear.
Thanks for the laughs.
Rush P. That wordplay was low key genius. 🙌
Obsydyan Ink TV - Cheers mate 🙌🏾
Of course! There aren’t nearly enough likes in that comment.
Obsydyan Ink TV -
Brah, I don’t think it’s genius, or anything.
But the standup comic is really good.
All decent people who are perceived as dangerous do it. It's highly contextual. No one likes being regarded suspiciously.
Brilliant set. Homeboy should be doin his own Netflix special. Crazy how that became the epitome of success as a comedian nowadays.
Okay, more of this gentleman! I agree his delivery is on point, good vibes and naturally funny…
“My name is not Vishnu. TOUCHÉ” I literally SCREAMED. That line had me rolling
Touche nigga
This dude is possibly the most under-rated comic out there... where's his netflix special?
The budget for that was spent on trying to make Amy Schumer funny
I don't know what his ticket sales are but that's what they base it on. So if he has a tour, his numbers dictate if they'd be interested. He's really good though. 😂🤣😂🤣
They gave it to Dave Bautista
Wouldn't you rather see him in a dark club
this man it's too funny i really wish to see more of his work, it really makes me happy, love the man.
Unbelievablly hilarious, laughing out loud is so rare, thanks man!!
*That White woman impression was DEAD ON* 🤣
I actually googled 'Greer Barnes' to double check if it's Idris Elba
Willam Odartei Right. Lol! I'm like is this Idris playing a trick on us!?
@@Swnsasy They should meet before its too late
@@wodartei Legend says if u meet your doppelganger one of u will die. I'd prefer both these men stay alive. But I if I had to choose which one to keep it would be Greer
Willam Odartei lmaooo
That’s Idris Elba from a parallel universe
This guy’s delivery is so good. One of the funniest bits I’ve ever heard.
I’ve been watching this video over and over, it’s just brilliant. 😃
“You want this five dollars or what?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gotta get that cheddar some type of way.
By far one of the best sets ever--- seriously, not line or statement wasted. Gotta admire the build up, the unpredictability, the social commentary, the effortless humor. Even when he "breaks character" it added to his set - it felt like he was laughing at the entire premise with the audience. This felt more like a one-man theater show.
Accurate. Underrated comment
What a great critique. I agree btw.
First 5-35 seconds gold. Comedy gold.
I'm a short white dude with a serious face and I feel uncomfortable walking behind women at night. I can't imagine being a tall black dude. You'd always feel like you're walking on eggshells.
That Indian Cab driver sound like a very wise, hard working Bane 😂😂😂😂
He was the best part
Damn... he’s right. Imma have to start crossing the street more often
Plz do! 😂😂
I always have. I'll stop walking to put distance between me and a white woman
@@shiestysean I definitely do that. If I'm to close I speed up to pass them keeping my hands near my body I don't want no accidental contact
m j I’m glad you feel that way lol
and getting picked up from a taxi driver 😆
The timing, the accents, the inflection of the jokes... idk how he's this good 🤷🏾♀️
Hi my name is Sarah gimme your wallet
His white girl impression is everything 🤣🤣
Wow you hit the nail on the head with this one. Way to deliver a gut punch of truth with that side of laughter.
White men dont walk behind women at night either. Why would you? Thats creepy. Considering men have a bigger step you should pass them. Im white and wont walk behind women. So yea. A part truth aint the whole of it. No gut punch there.
Alot of "sad but true" jokes in here :) I want to laugh and cry...
ive watched this multiple times. laugh every time. thanks dude.
One of the greatest sets I've ever seen in my life.
The conversation between him & the cab driver was legit facts
Hi my name is Sarah give me your wallet, give me your wallet or I am gonna scream.
Hahahah I am dead
Ida slapped her silly before she even finished tha threat
😂😂
@@thagodwecreate5179 And you'd end up in jail even though you were the victim.
@@neghiethervil5606 can't even count how many times i been locked up and certainly have no problem going back
@J Jackson naa my skin's not dark enough to be murdered before they get out of their car...i am Sicilian with 2 vowels at tha end of my last name so they'll plant evidence...maybe a gun and a canoli
He took that look and slowly ran with it. Kept it going. And it's a sign of how good he is that he can use that 1 simple joke and make you laugh the entire time.
Best 5 minutes of stand-up ever
His white woman impression was spot on. 😂
This was so perfect! " What I look like chasing a white woman?" lol
This guy is unbelievably talented. Watched several of his stand up acts and don’t know what his real voice sounds like.
I love how much he cracks himself up. Makes it even funnier.
Idk what was funnier, him laughing at his own jokes or his jokes 😂
Lavell Crawford laughs at his own jokes. If it's good enough for Lavell, it's good enough for Greer.
... Couple nights, I'm walking home... I got my beats going. Ion have no headphones, I just have beats 😂😂😂
Vbaire Okugbeni I thought he meant Beats by Dr. Dre until he started beatboxin’.. 😅🤦🏻♂️
As an Indian woman who does songwriting while walking, this is so strangely relatable.
love how effortless he is
Just found Greer, he is great!
i loved this dude from chappelles show good to see him still slayin!!
I knew I recognized him
thats where i seen him! thx
Yep, he is hilarious!!
Who did he play on Chapelle's show?
he was on def comedy jam
I love how he cracks up at himself ... it makes it even funnier 🙂
I always come back to cure my depression
This had me dying! Everything about this guy is pure gold.
