I'm black. In general, this is so true: we don't get in the water. For us women, our hair will get ruined, and it takes forever to redo, and for the fellas, it's all about the "look cool factor"🤣
This is hilarious! My gym teacher in high school didn’t even get in the water when we had swim class. She walked around the pool in full makeup with her hair done and got mad at me when I almost drown because she thought she was going to have to come in to get me 😂😂😂
I don't necessarily think this is a black thing. I had a white PE teacher in high school, and he never got in the water during swim class either. Doesn't have a fear of water or anything like that. He could swim too. I was shocked. To me, it's unacceptable that a swimming teacher doesn't get in the water. It does not inspire confidence for the kids who don't know how to swim.
I was married to a black woman with 4 black kids. We moved to the beach in Delaware this past summer. After being there for 5 weeks, and not once going to the beach except to go surf fishing twice; once with the 2 boys, the second time with one of the boys, I realized we were NEVER going to go to the beach! We might as well have stayed in Northern VA!
😂you gave it the good college try. I’m half black and used to have no problem going to the beach but for some reason the older I’ve gotten it’s just a no for me. More for fear of what’s in the water than anything else. Pools are fine though

Lol, I was that rare kid that would jump in. my grandmother would take my sister and I to the Salon before a family reunion. I would be so excited to get to the pool and I would hear the dreaded words, "You're not getting in that pool after I paid to get your hair done"! 😮💨 So I had to sit at the edge of the pool and dangle my feet. I started requesting to not have my hair done so I could get in the pool, my request was always denied. 😒
This is utterly fascinating. It's a completely foreign social experience to what's happened in my life. A pool party is all about the pool and GETTING IN IT! Standing around the pool dressed up is fine, but then it's not a "pool" party, it's just a damn party! Ha! I am black too!

We had to push people in at our pool parties. And when I was in Jamaica even the lifeguard was amazed at how far out I could swim. Jakes would say about me, "(Patois accent)That boy swim like fish (pronounced feesh)😂"
I attended a James Brown concert in the late 60s and a black comedian opened the show. He told some jokes about white people, which were hilariously funny, and I could see some black people looking my way to see if I thought the jokes were funny, too. Yep, they were. As someone else said, "Funny is funny."
When they went to kick him out he should have said "alright, get in here and escort me off the premises. Cause I know you ain't gettin your ass in here." 🤣🤣
I swam at a beach for the 1st time just last year. I took my 2 nieces and their friend to SC. They were actually swimming like they were in a pool. I said, “if they’re not afraid of Sharks I’m not going to be, so I swam. But right before that 4 Black women were right at the water just chillin. They then got up, put their feet in the Ocean and started taking pictures. I cracked up!😂 Dude you’re hilarious😂
Dang I just learned to swim at the age of 42 lol. I love being in the pool. The deeper the more fun it is. I swam in a lake last year for the first time. This year I’m learning to canoe. I want go far in the ocean! That’s totally different water and buoyancy. The lake I was in was man made and they drain it to clean it plus it was only 15ft. I hate I waited so long to learn to swim. I swim year round and lost 35 pounds in one year not trying because I love to swim. I encouraged my mother to learn this year because it helps with arthritis. I’m paying for her to take private lessons. We will see how it goes!
Still love when you told this on Pittsburghs Morning WDVE radio station long ago....."the girls aint gettin their hair wet , no way, they be like 'No girl, I heard Bens gonna be at this Pool Party....Imma get me that LAST NAME, mmm hmmm......... Tameeka Roethlisberger " lmmfao
I only went to three pool parties before stopping. The third time, I was watching the pool with no one in it, then I realized that probably none of us knew how to swim anyway. Had no business organizing a pool party to begin with.
I remember talking to a black friend about the beach, sunblock or something and he was like " black people don't lay out at the beach". Mind blown as I realized its mostly true! I don't lay out to tan, it just feels good but I never see black people lay out much lol
I knew lots of black women in the army that would lay out at the beach or pool. One girl I worked with loved sunbathing, said she didn’t have as much issue with dry skin when she tanned.

I’ve studied and admired standup comics for decades: seen them all. This guy is good. He also bridges the black/white divide in a way only rivaled by Chapelle. Keep it up, bro. 👍
LOL this dude is hilarious and I can totally relate! I've been to those pool parties and all you gotta do is read the room; yes, you can get in the water (I did) but no, you can't splash people! Also, it doesn't matter what color/ethnicity you are, no female attendee will ever get their head wet at such parties, myself included and I'm a swimmer!

My sister-in-law is Afro-Brazilian. She and my brother came to visit and we're getting ready to get in the Gulf of Mexico and she said, "Not too deep, I don't want to get my hair wet." Also found out, she doesn't know how to swim. I was like, "You lived in Rio and you don't know how to swim?" She looks at me. "That's a white people thing - and by the way. What is it with all you white people wanting to go camping? I lived in a favela. I've done enough 'camping.'"

lol, came here thinking I was going to see what a black pool looked like (as per the title). curious to know what it actually looked like!, the title should have said black's only pool party
😂 I LOVE how he’s able to poke fun at us, with love & appreciation for our culture, without appropriation or deprecation. ❤😂
I'm black. In general, this is so true: we don't get in the water. For us women, our hair will get ruined, and it takes forever to redo, and for the fellas, it's all about the "look cool factor"🤣
LOL!!!......Me? I'd be like, "What'd I do to offend???!!!!"....................
I'm German. We look white, but we don't have pool parties because we don't have private pools.
for all of you its the my parents never took me to a pool and taught me how to swim lets be real here and stop pretending
And the fact that blacks cannot swim.
It’s also cuz no one knows how to swim 😄
“I can hear the ocean. We at the ocean” is something that I will always remember. A brilliant philosopher.

"They're gators, you're fine. They live in water. You're okay" 💀😂
Hes funny as hell and he’s actually telling the truth
The pool is the centerpiece! True & hilarious.

Garry owens and bill burr… my two favorite white comedians. RIP Robin Willams .

Andrew Shultz BY FAR!! Also George Carlin
You’re racist
@@wukilla8ee George Carlin was legendary. Remember when he was talking about how couples walk together…lol pure Genius.
A black pool party is just a bbq isn't it?
Basically lol
Yup
You mean cookout?
Yeah u wear shyte for the pool but don't get in if that makes sense...its just what we like
@Jonathan Winston no BBQ. Cookout and BBQ has different food and times of ending. Please re-read your Black Bible. 18th Man Man chapter Fo verse Lem.
When he said "sorry I messed up your pool party," it reminded me of that scene in Forest Gump.
Nobody’s getting in the water anyways 😂😂😂
You beat me to the joke. Good job.

Awe, girl, I feel your pain! Same... But I was given a perm! 🙄😮💨
Always gotta get your hair done, even if it gets in the way of what you’re about to go do
I always thought it was crazy that we don't party in the pool. It would be so much fun. Gary was spot on though that joint had me crying at the end.
Why don’t you just jump in then??? Do what Gary did and start jumping on the diving board 😂 🏊🏻♂️
😂😂😂😂😂
The flyer should say we are throwing an AROUND THE POOL PARTY! 😂

Sharks don't bite toes, LMAO
I was raised in Fort Lauderdale I've been swimming my entire life. I love it!
Thank you for including clips of black people laughing so I know it's okay to laugh.

He told some jokes about white people, which were hilariously funny, and I could see some black people looking my way to see if I thought the jokes were funny, too. Yep, they were. As someone else said, "Funny is funny."
Could have been a trap, a clip from Kevin Hart show. Don't trust media. I only laugh at animal jokes because I don't want to offend anyone
@@jariz26haha don’t live your life like that, man
If its funny to you then laugh. Not at your boss though.
Dude. This was so funny
I'm crying 😂 I love 💕 his sense of humor
Let'em know Gary yes you certified. Certified FAS 👏🏾 That part.
GARY IS THE BEST 🔥
No. He’s praying on idiots
Ppl in the pool on the flyer 😂
I’m African American, and I actually love swimming… lol ( natural curly hair don’t get ruined) 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤💯
Gary tappin that black algorithm 👀
Gary Owens is cool you gotta love him for trying for real! He been around for a long time now. 💯☝️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Trying? He’s solidified.
What do you mean TRYING??? Hes COMPLETELY ACCEPTED BY BLACK AMERICANS
Thanks for cheering me up
I do not get in the pool. But I can't swim. I'm a stereotype 🤣.
3 lessons and you’d learn. It’s a wonderful a valuable thing
The pool is just for decoration.
We don't get in the pool until 5 hours later.
I just found you😂😂 omg I’ve been laughing all morning😅
When they went to kick him out he should have said "alright, get in here and escort me off the premises. Cause I know you ain't gettin your ass in here." 🤣🤣
😅😅that would have been hilarious

Just don’t go so far that the current takes u further out it can be scary trying to get back! 😂

So true about black folk pool parties. I've been to many, and I have yet to be at one where anybody actually got in the water LoL.
Owen is very funny!!!

So funny & so true - the pool is the center piece 😅
🤣🤣🤣Old Navy, killing it! 😆 🤣 😂
I remember talking to a black friend about the beach, sunblock or something and he was like " black people don't lay out at the beach". Mind blown as I realized its mostly true! I don't lay out to tan, it just feels good but I never see black people lay out much lol
Lol
Indians are pretty much the same. But do like to live near beach. asians are also like this
I knew lots of black women in the army that would lay out at the beach or pool. One girl I worked with loved sunbathing, said she didn’t have as much issue with dry skin when she tanned.
I love it, I do have to say I was definitely hanging with my YT friends when I picked up the practice 😅🤣
2 words: skin cancer
I’m always the only one! I grew up in Redondo Beach😂
I've been able to swim since I was 7. And every time I do someone threatens to call the local news; "He can swim! Check it out he can swim!"
Growing up never seeing it, it is exciting :)
He said "Surround Sound She'll"!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

"WE'RE AT THE OCEAN".
I am not familiar with this type of pool party. I would be swimming! 🤣
Start pushing people in and then jump in yourself. It's a Party ! Get Wild !
This is helpful information 😂😂
The accuracy 😂😂😂
We always get in the pool at the parties I've been to ......
Oh man that was funny 😁 😂

went to the beach with an ex once her parents didnt swim
so they were freaking out everytime we went to the water
You should look up pool party fights on here....
Hes so funny he reminds me of one of my friends
It's funny cause it's kinda true...depends on where you grew up...I'm from minnesota...we got in the damn water!
Black pool party?? That’s like a all white dunking contest. Never heard of it
Anyone know what sneakers he's wearing?
Black Americans are in all sorts of waters when they come to Jamaica so I don't understand these stereotypes 🤷♂️
Some of us get in the water😂😂😂
Getting in the pool is OPTIONAL! Its 4 the youngins that you bring to keep THEM occupied 😂
Funny is funny 😂😂😂
This is 100% true .explains why you never hear about a black person drowning!
I got a natural hair so 😅 I’m getting my ass in the pool. But don’t expect my ass to swim😂😂😂well
lol, came here thinking I was going to see what a black pool looked like (as per the title). curious to know what it actually looked like!, the title should have said black's only pool party
“ their people in the pool 🏊♀️ on the flyer “
He forgot to mention the oil slick….hahahaha
I'm black amd this is so true. I was the only one in the pool. 😂
Getting kicked out of a pool party for jumping in the pool. That’s rough.
The women usually don't get in cause they don't want to mess up thier hair and the guys won't if there are no women in.
Black bbqs are Hatfield hotdogs, frozen burgers and classic lays chips
