This guys comedy is what would happen if a psychopath starts doing stand ups instead of killing people, and I love it.
Omg so true! 😂
He is still killing though.
That is the PERFECT way to describe it lol
You are literally paraphrasing Whitney Cummings.
He's killin it
I love Anthony. You think you know where he's going, but then he manages to surprise you everytime with the most outrageous, offensive punchline. My kind of comedian 👌
I was thinking about it, and if you wanted an even worse gift, you could get them a coupon for 1 small taxidermy... like people sometimes do for beloved pets... >_>
@@AndaraBledin Oh God lol. Yup you definitely found something worse there, Anthony would be proud.
Good I got to see your new car I got a new car I have to pick you off and pick you off I can get your stuff to your house I can get your money for a pick me pick you up I have to your pick and up and I have a car and I can pick up the girls I can get your dad pick you off at the time and pick you pick your time up for pick you pick your time up and I have to your pick you pick your car and I can pick up a time and I have to pick you pick your time and pick up a pick you up at your car I have a pick you pick your time and pick up a car or a pick you yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That's what makes it unfunny. Knowing that his innocent story is going to have a dark twist. Just makes it all so predictable. Gets old quik.
Dude is an accidental train wreck that still somehow manages to accomplish the villains goals 🤣
My wife had to have an abortion for a medically unviable baby. Most heartbreaking day of my life. Her best friend sent a succulent in support. Anthony thank you for your humor about the worst moment I’ve ever experienced. It’s healing to be able to laugh about something so painful.
My wife's reasoning was:"We can't afford to bring up twins." I was with her at the ultrasound when we got the news. No medical condition. She immediately burst out crying, I hugged her and told her that we're gonna be okay, no matter what. I was opposed, but she went and had it done anyway. It was her final decision, but maybe I should've put my foot down more firmly. But I didn't know how. I had a weird dream, I think right after the abortion, with The Hollies singing "He's not heavy, he's my brother". I had heard it before, but didn't know the name of the song or the name of the band, I had to search it up using words like "heavy" and "brother". I still can rarely listen to it without tearing up. They'd be 17 this year. It will haunt me for the rest of my life. I should have done more to assure her that we're gonna be fine.
@TTFerdinand I can't imagine what that's like, I'm sorry. I will pray for you to find peace.
Who cares tf
"Hey, did you lose some weight?" 🤣🤣 Brutally hilarious!
If only the rest of the world could have a sense of humor like this man.
You really don't pull off sarcasm very well.
Yes the world will be happy place to live then
@@M1dnightRunnerI don’t think it was sarcasm mate
You know a comedian is great when he can make you laugh for 15 minutes using a depressing situation as content!!! You either love this man or hate him! I love him.
“Don’t you mean ultra sound???” 💀💀💀😂😂😂
😂
Context? Please?
Didn't get it 😢 !?
To me Anthony style of a large volume of jokes where he will make you laugh even though you know exactly where the joke is coming yet he still has fresh twist to surprise you is an incredibly high amount of difficulty. What he did here keeping his style while keeping an overall larger narrative is the natural progression for him and as difficult as it maybe I hope he finds a way to keep it up.
I hope he goes back to more outrageous liners because his stry telling jokes are funny but... funny like uncles at a family party. Or work colleagues funny.
I usually love his stuff. This was boring.
He is one of the best comedians around. His jokes seem effortless
Brutal, absolutely brutal. Smart and strangely thoughtful.
💯. Unflinching, literally and figuratively, and honest. Strangely moving...
really thoughtful!!!
The comedian is as lame as this comment.
@@ih1183 but not as lame as you hahahaha
@@ih1183 let's see you try to do better
« And almost immediately…I brought it back to myself. » 🤣
Genuinely hope he makes another special that just makes the last two look tame 😁
Eagerly waiting! That'll be a MUST see!
Bones and All coming soon...
"good friends just babysit" 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t really get the funny point of this… Why babysitting a baby is a good friend and funny…
@@meatloafcat5892 maybe cause a great friend would help getting an abortion so caring a baby wouldn't ever be necessary. But a just good friend wouldn't help to get rid permanently of the "trouble" and, instead, just gonna help babysitting by a while.
Anyway, is as I get that part
Heartbreaking. You know you have a great comedian when they can make you chuckle for 14 minutes straight, through tears.
"think of something worse and i'll change the fucking joke"
one of the best comedic moments i've ever seen
I had seen Anthony perform this story live a couple of times. He is a great comedian because of his precision and dedication to his craft. Every movement and word is practiced to perfection. And he's incredibly funny.
Am seeing him live in a couple weeks for the first time. Can't wait. :)
This is comedy perfection from beginning to end. Ridiculous and thoughtful, provoking but never fully cynical, even strangely sweet or melancholic at times.
that's what i like about dark comedy - it helps to alleviate the hardships of life, make you think about a serious topic from another angle, that is neither incorrect or correct, it is strangely true no matter how off it may seem and it's both serious and funny. and it's always with a twist and even though you expect it, you never really see it coming.
He sounds like John Malkovich doing a stand-up...
I think he sounds like if John Malkovich and Christopher Walken were to have a baby somehow. It would be Anthony Jeselnik. 😉
But you're right, he definitely sounds so much like John Malkovich. Spot on.
He looks like John Malkovich (in a wig) doing stand-up.
Yoooo he fuckin does
@@jeremybr2020or the ghost of that baby
This guy is hilarious and the delivery style you just never see the punchline coming!
This guy make you wonder if you are going to hell for watching and laughing
God is a fan
The bible doesn't say anything specific about abortion so I think we're in the clear
@Jason R if a miscarriage is caused by someone outside the parents the punishment is different from murder? Also, That's not an abortion! And people have been performing abortions for thousands of years across cultures so if it was forbidden it would have been addressed directly. Different Christian churches have different opinions on abortion and some changed their stance over time. The Catholic Saint Bridget ended someone's unwanted pregnancy without birth and without pain, it was a miracle. Sorry for rambling
Religion is a miscarriage of intelligence.
If God is real then he made this dude exactly how he is for this exact purpose so I think you're supposed to laugh if he crossed into your life.
So glad Anthony makes a standup comedy instead of murdering everyone.
Jeselnik’s delivery is so perfectly timed it’s wild.
Killed it, Jeselnik.
No, his friend did.
@@mitchellarmyguy2515 no his friend didnt. It was just an abortion. Chill man. Its not like a person murder or something
@@Ottophil lmao I forget how stupid some people are. You have to type out fully when you are making a joke...
@@mitchellarmyguy2515 fr
@@Ottophil How does someone not get this joke that's literally on topic with what you just watched? SMH
Only your best friend can make light of any situation as well as he does here. First time I've seen anything by Anthony 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂
"fun little NY joke for you guys" lmao
Jeselnik's humor definitely has a Steven Wright quality to it.
One of his main inspirations...he talks about Wright in podcast interviews a lot
Oh man that was brutal. Dripping with wicked sarcasm. “There is truth in jest” said the great Dave Chappelle
The ghosts line physically made my jaw drop I was not ready for it lmao
His style of comedy is some of my favorite. I watched this special yesterday and I'm still ugly laughing!
When he stares at the camera after he says “I don’t need that competition.” That’s horrifying. Man is second place for acting as Homelander
lol
I dont believe people realize just how funny he is. I know most of his fans consist of pretty much those who can read, but I belive in future he will get a lot bigger.
For me he is on Carlin's level, which is like funniest you can get today imho
If he hasn’t caught on by now…
Really, though what is your measure of success?
He’s extremely popular.
I don't think his delivery is as good as Carlin's
@@triti5266 Carlin had other kind of jokes, dry humor was rarer for him, though Jeselnik is all about the latter type.
Why Carlin - cause both are extreme when it comes to black humor, but jeselnik's delivery is of Steven Wright's type.
Noone can top Carlin, that's not what I'm saying..
@@justincoleman3805 dunno, like paintings of long dead artist who are famous 150 years after their death.
I believe there is not a lot of black humor fans compared to other types of humor..
If A.C. Dice sold out most tickets in one show tells you anything?
He's very good but at Carlin's level? No way.
I love the way he structures jokes, perfect set up, misdirection and punchline. IMO
My wife and I are expecting our second abortion any day now.
And we’re planning two for next year.
I hope they go well
Is this a joke cause if it is that’s funny but kinda fucked up if it’s true.
@@enriqueperezarce5485 Ha
@@enriqueperezarce5485 Cmon man you can't believe for a second that this is true, of course it's a joke..
Kill it!
"Don´t U mean ultrasound!?!?!" - BRILLIANT
"the only person more disappointed than me that day, was the baby" check mate
I had an abortion last year and this bit made me laugh and tear up. It was such a stressful and emotional time but to be able to laugh at it now and see the dark humour is really healing.
yikes. soulless huh?
@@moviedevonk As a woman who’s had 2 abortions, one resulting from rape, I thought this bit was absolutely hilarious. Anything can be joked about if it’s done well. I even laugh at quality rape jokes. I wish Jeselnik had been my friend on my abortion days.
@@moviedevonk No just a person. like a quarter of women in america before the age of 40.
That's the point of art.
@@moviedevonk the irony is pretty thick here.
I love this guy!
He’s such a chill dude😂
Anthony: The best gift for someone who just had an abortion...
Me: Alcohol. Alcohol. Maybe drugs. ALCOHOOOLLLL
Anthony: A succulent.
Very thoughtful, since nobody ever lets pregnant women enjoy a drink anymore.
A very dark TED talk. Educational all the same.
Humor with balls. AJ rocks.
Savage! This man has brutal talent 👏🏾
Best comedian hands down.
This is comedy gold. He is comedy gold.
Gen-Z loving AJ is not something I expected lol. Tiktok loves him.
I can’t wait for his next special
Sometimes if you close your eyes, it's like you're listening to Christopher Walken doing standup.
AJ manages to take every line and almost bring it to some place positive and uplifting and then the bottom drops out and the joke goes to hell. It's a work of comedy art.
The funniest things are the most offensive ones. It’s like tickling: you feel terrible but you can’t stop laughing!!
i dont feel terrible. not one bit

"Hey, Anthony big fan" 😂
A fucking legend 🔥🔥
@Jason R go away
@Jason R And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman: 'If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from this water of bitterness that causeth the curse; but if thou hast gone aside, being under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thy husband--then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman--the LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy belly to swell; and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to fall away'; and the woman shall say: 'Amen, Amen.' And the priest shall write these curses in a scroll, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness. And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
- Numbers 5:19-24
“I thought they were kid….. turns out they were just ghosts”
He is underrated though........
Best roaster ever! This guy is in ng top 5...
I don't need that competition 😂
If this guy and Ricky G sit in same room no amount of lamp could light up thr place
But Ricky Gervais is funny
Yes my ex-girlfriend called me up 2 years after we broke up.. said she pay for me to come to Colorado to take her to abortion clinic.. keep in mind this was 1990 in Colorado..
So 1990 Colorado had lots of protesters outside with news media and just crazy chaos.. I did not know this before I traveled..
So I took her and well had to go through all protester yelling at me I'm killing my baby.. nope some other guys baby..
Then media wanted to talk to us.
I waited in waiting room rereading old parenting magazine.. yes true ...
Then afterwards the girl was drugged up.. so I had to drive through protesters screaming, hitting car and yelling murderer, murderer murderer.. over and over..
I honestly not the killer, just the get away driver..
Did you get away in a Ford Bronco?
You’re a good friend for doing that for her.
@@Tonyhouse1168 I always teach my children that if your ever in a relationship with someone and it ends.. don't be mean or live with hate for them... Most time can be distant friends, or at least polite to each other.. obviously there was a reason you where in a relationship..
I also teach my kids something most people should learn. I tell my boys especially, if you ask out a girl or make a move and she says no or not interested. Still be polite, still be you, she might not be interested in the moment or ever.. but don't change you just because of rejection..if anything she will regrets later as you stay true to bring the best you..
Goes with anything, rejection is just another opportunity for something better.. I own businesses and first thing to know about business is learn to fail . More you fail the more successful you become. Just like rejection.. more you understand and live with not getting something, the more you get later..
Learn love and love life but first fail, fall and get rejected as often as you can..
@@notfamouschristopher that's a great message , be true to yourself. I taught my kids something similar. That whole having to literally run a gauntlet to attend a clinic doesn't happen in my country, I don't understand it.
He is the best . Love him
It IS a big favor. Too big of a favor for the bonehead that knocked me up ten years ago. He didn't want to take me or help pay so I went all by myself. I was the only one there alone. It sucked. But on the plus side they sent me home with a big bottle of Tylenol with codeine and that was so nice warm and fuzzy. Best part of the next two days.
It’s only getting worse with each day that passes. ☹️
@@xiomara5147 you're so right. I keep waiting for all these old puritanical assholes who are turning back time with their lawmaking to die already so we can get some fresh blood in government. Preferably ones who don't wish to turn women into handmaids. .
Damn you killed a baby and made a CZcams comment about it. Savage
Oh honey I’m sorry. I took my BF & it was sad. The waiting room was filled with young couples that looked like they barely scraped the money together. At that point most of not all my friends in their 20’s had one, sometimes 2.
@@samanthab1923 Thank you. Sometimes it takes something like that to show you what a person is really like. And I just remembered, there WAS one person who cared enough to help me, but I needed her to get my (3) kids off the bus and keep them for a couple hours so obviously she couldn't come along. It might be nice if planned Parenthood had a person on hand for women who have to come alone, you know, to sit with you awhile (it was an eight hour day, pre-smartphone) and maybe keep checking on you and chatting. I'd volunteer to do that actually.
Dude's a legend!!
It just kept getting more fucked up and hilarious as he went along lol
He sounds just like John Malkovich. Same cadence in his speech .... almost.
His pro-life argument is so subtle people think he's actually pro-choice.
Anthony doesn't sound like someone who would be pro-life. Don't take my word for it.
Right? Also fascinating how it goes over his audience's heads (here in the comments also) that his most repeated and obvious point is that a baby is being killed.
Shhhh! You're ruining it.
I've been a Jeselnikker for years but this is the first set that made me want scrambled eggs
why scrambled eggs?
@@chrisathian5450 an abortion is literally taking a sharp tool and scrambling the fertilized egg, although I prefer mine with Denny's Grand Slam breakfast
@@montysimms6136 God damn your dark sense of humour.
Jeselnikker. That’ll turn some heads if said in public lol
a jesel what??
My 2nd fav comedian behind George Carlin. I got reserved seating to his show in St Louis in May and can't wait to see this guy make me lmao with some new material. Anthony Jeselnik is the best joke writer of all time. The punchlines kill more people than the Holocaust.
Everything in this comedy bit was totally appropriate and hilarious except for the part where you said succulents do not need any water. Come on now get your s*** together
😂😂🤣🤣
Just appalling.

Lets get another Netflix Special with Jeselnik already
I NEED to be friends with Anthony, anyone pisses me off he’d annihilate them in a second 🤣🤣
Andrew Shultz or Tony hinchcliffe would be better for roasting someone
"To Go" boxes are now precious.
Fire in The Maternity Ward is exactly what you think the special is going to be about. Dead babies. Lots of dead babies. And that's why it's hilarious.
One of the greatest
Humor so dark, my phone switched on night mode
The worst thing you can get her would be a baby doll that says you killed me Mommy
Pausing JRVP just to hear this treasure.

Just the way he says _“I know, I know”_ at 7:06 tells us everything we need to know about why Anthony is so f’in great.
Simple but unique at the same time
This guy is underrated lol
Instant Classic
His comedy is so unique!! Remind me of a great comedian named Steven wright.
Black humor at the puriest form... absolutely great!
If the band Cannibal corpse was a modern stand up act they’d be AJ
One of the best to do it!
Why do I want to send this link to a great friend who has had an abortion?
do it 😂
Did you do it? 😂
🤣🤣🤣 I need to go to one of his shows! is he still performing??
Dark and savagery! I am become a fan too, Anthony.
ghosts lmao best part
Brutal, I fucking love it! I cringed and laughed all at the same time.
I thought he was gonna say : Here I bought you something that never dies!
When your style, timing and presentations outshine the jokes ❤
Saw this Live at the Sands Casino over in Bethlehem Pa a few years back, still find it hilarious. The lady who opened for him was kinda lame though.
Nicely done.
The jokes we told to each other in the pre/post-op area of the Clinic were waaaay worse
Cool story
You think that's bad, you should hear the jokes embalmers tell each other. xD
Are you claiming to be Jessica?
