“Don’t talk to me while I’m at work”
That got me weak af
So funny.
Lmao
On mee!! HILARIOUS!!😂😂
jawadb0199 lmao 😂😂😂👍👍
Of course he lives in a nice white neighborhood now...he's an immigrant
Dear America,
Stop pushing Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish on us and put more people like Mike Yard in the spotlight. It's sad that the most talented comedians are so underrated and underexposed. Do better America.
You know what? I appreciate your comment!
Thank you.
Its ....Americas fault?..great logic
Yall the ones. Buying they tickets and laughing at they lame homes and going to they lame ass movies
YES! Kat Williams said the same thing a few years ago when talking about Tiffany Haddish and got TRASHED! But he made a good point - why is it the same two or three are pushed and promoted? Why the lack of variety? It's as if they only allow you to get ahead if you're a "certain kind" of comedian. Anyone else can just scrape along on the sidelines.
"Shalom my brother." 😂🤣😭
SHALAWAM
I thought you was the comedian 😂😂😂😂
FCF SEAN LMAOO
Listen to this verse I dropped called PROVERBS 23:9 read the scriptures
He’s not lying about islanders “frolicking” that’s all I did in Belize with my cousins 🤣🤣
Garou Killer I’m from Fiji...We frolic’d alil bit too 😂😂
Was born in the USVI. Can confirm island time is way better.
Am I the only one who feels like they were going to school from birth???
So true 😂😂😂
You did what with your cousins?? The definition for frolic on google is "play about with someone in a flirtatious or sexual way." I have never used the word frolic in a sentence, ever.
"Yo, you wanna go frolic?"
That sounds awesome. Wake up, chill on the beach.
Until the hurricane rolls through.
I'm not doing anything else. Let me go get my frolicking shoes
😂
I'd sell all my weed stocks for her BUT THEY TOO HIGH. Ahhhhhh 😆
Let's frolic some more!
I guess I'm not the only one who found this so good that I started reading and liking comments.
Me too
I did the same but because i found it kind of bad, idk, not my personal taste
That was a very cleaver joke , I agree , if you are not into the zodiac you would not get it though..
True
Lol
“It’s gonna be weird in the hallway, from now on” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I lived in a neighborhood that bad. I got robbed at gunpoint by a dude wearing a mask and as I'm searching my body for the ounce I just shrugged looked up and said "avenue?!" He said "stfu tony!" I responded with "bro, I cut your mama's grass dude!" He chuckled and still robbed me. I ain't ever cut his mama's grass again.
@Henry Ortiz he had to move, that is so much ghetto lmao
"What if I pick a night.. is that a thing?" LMAOOOO I couldn't stop laughing
Was that even a set or was he just talking? Smooth.
Bud Leiser Both
Lol
Lol right, i was asking the same question...
Most of the comedians these days.Are just talking about everyday funny situations they find themselves in.No routines just life.
reminds me of paul mooney's style. i saw paul live and he was straight vibin- had us all cracking up, too.
Tony? you live upstairs lmaooo
I died lmao
Toby*
🤣🤣
That one really got me.
That's bad lol.
"Dont talk to me, while I'm at work!!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂. Dope set.
“We headed back to Connecticut guys, they found us.”
😭😭💀
🤣🤣🤣
I'm demanding his hour special
Pavel Shcherbakov That’s right. Let’s start the petition.

That no Brooklyn shit is absolutely true😂😂😂
Organized Konfusion - Stress has a small skit in the middle with the cabbie scenario. That's... 1991? 92?
@@AxeMan808 "Yo Prince chill don't do dat!" *gunshots*
Funny thing is I'm from NY and moved to the VI. A short while ago the VI had the 2nd highest homicide rate IN THE WORLD! THE WORLD... per capita. Like only Honduras was doing it bigger. And at the time St Croix was leading St Thomas.
I remember driving home from work one day and I had to drive around a bullet ridden, dead rasta in the middle of the street.
Stolen joke.
@@omerfawadrauf7369 off who?
That “COME TO MY ISLAND” part had me sweating 😂😂
This dude has the "hillarious uncle at a BBQ" vibe
The one who keeps the story going no matter who walks up or walks off 😂
@@amandabrown5555takes charisma, which I no have
That frolic bit was hilarious
Really? didn't think it was that funny to be honest
@@Daswassuphomie
I think the people who laughed were hearing echoes of how black joy was orientalized to sell commercial products back in the day.

"Come to my island" 😂😂😂
Dude’s a natural. Funny as hell.
Facts
Mike Yard was the first Comedian I ever seen live.. 2011, first date with my now ex.. staff sat us directly in the front of the stage and Mike roasted my ass😂😂.. I will always love Mike Yard
"I'm not using it in white girl context"
We used to contextualize them "space cadets" male or female.
😂😂😂😂😂
If this man doesn't get his own special I'm going to be pissed. I need to see more of him. He's funny as hell. So good
P diddy put him in a Comedy special Bad Boys of Comedy
Two words: laugh track
You just liked his dumb ass racism is confusing joke...
There's a lot of substance and cleverness couched in that intentionally sloppy, non-serious tone of delivery. Gotta check out more stuff from this man.
Your analysis is appreciated. It's not unnecessary or pretentious at all.😉 Good for you.
Great critique
Look up clips from the Larry Wilmore show. He was a regular there. Very great show all around, unfortunately ahead of its time( or perhaps on the wrong outlet?) it got cancelled a couples years back.
Yessss!!!
He has the best Rastafarian Jamaican joke ever told by a non Jamaican
As someone who grew up on St. Croix, I can confirm, we do indeed frolic
KiddBuu I’m from St. Croix too and yes we love to frolic especially at the beach 😂
what does that mean though? Just chill or something?
@@kieraholmes3828 frolicking is like skipping but with EXTRA SAUCE
Is it anything like Malindi, Kenya?
What is frolicking?
as a Guyanese when his accent came out I was dying with laughter (Caribbean life is nice life)
I'm Trinidadian and it made me smile too!
luv seeing carribean comedians. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
In my opinion, the USVI and Guyanese accent sounds very similar despite the distance. It always amazes me.
Guyana isn’t an Island tho and it’s not Caribbean, it’s South American.
@@jollygoodgordon5580 it’s historically and culturally linked to the Caribbean. Not all countries that consider themselves to be Caribbean are islands. Some link themselves to the region due to history and culture, some do because some of their sea shorelines are in the Caribbean Sea like Belize.
Netflix needs to give him an hour special!!
@Sincere One 😆
Two words: laugh track
He really mastered this bit, way better than before. Love to see progress like that
100% he got better
The real comedy fans know
@@DeuceAlchemist ppppapappa
I like his style a lot, like he’s just sitting up there having a conversation, no set up one liners or theatrics to get his jokes across, he’s just naturally funny as hell.
Give him a Netflix special!!
This sketch was hilarious. His delivery is so effortless.
This kind of comedy makes my work days alot less shitty lol
thejtd21 you ain’t never lie dawg 🤣
makes my entire life a lot less shitty, betta acks sumbudee.

Integrity Games are u going to comment that everywhere you cornball
He was either looking for an Indian person to tell that long joke or that was totally improvised when he found out she was from India - either way he's brilliant he had me laughing at every line
The setup was awesome because you can use that joke with almost any foreign nationality
@@StevenAllotey Tis true... ;)
@@StevenAllotey I think he was improvising, that stuck out to me too that it was an Indian as I have loads of indian friends that are bad at swearing, I always make jokes with my Indian friend about her dad's hilarious failed attempts at swearing.
Two words: laugh track
You ha both hearing and sight proble,s? No laugh track. He's really funny.
"Don't you talk to me while I'm at work!"
I died XD
This man spent hours practicing this laid back, easy going delivery.
Kudos to you, sir.
He's a stand up comedian sitting on a stool, but he's still hilarious
Elise Pentz “still” hilarious.. pun intended?
Stool up.
Only the pros are allowed to do that. See Patrice o neal
😂
Oh u got jokes, but true
You wan go frolic?
Of course I wanna go frolic, you don see I have my frolic shoes on
I was looking for the Caribbean that would quote it right lol
Yes I do
@@toni-annpeck665 Caribbean?
🤣🤣🤣🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮!!!
"Don't move! "
" Tommy ?!"
"Bruh you live upstairs , it's gonna be weird in the hallway from now on " 😆😆😆
"I ready to frolic before u !" Ok lmao now that was funny
Frolicking shoes. I am gone. Lmao
As a Libra that first joke killed me!! Optimistic on the way over!
Facts lol
I'm a libra and i was like that is so me.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lies
Fellow Libra here. Its totally true. We are like the dumb/wise stoner friend everybody has, who just doesnt know what the hell is with all this 'war' and 'divorce' and 'crime' stuff, cant we like...just all get along mannnn?
Bruh
When he said he is from St. Croix , I was like whatttt! Im from St. Thomas, in the Virgin Islands. Im glad he made it to Comedy Central!
His material is painfully funny and I want to give him a hug! ❤🤲🧡
This guys got some talent
Indeed
mike yard has been this good for years...he deserves more success
For real. Dude had me laughing.
I never heard of him before this video but he's very good
"...come to my island 💁🏾♀️" took me TF OUT 😭😭😭😭😭😂😂🤗🤗
That was genuinely hilarious, he has a real personal stage presents like he's just talking with a group of friends. Funny guy.
Can't remember the last time I laughed this much, I really needed that
Damn... I wanna go frolic on the beach
gotta get your frolic shoes first
It's harder than I thought. I was just in the Dominican Republic on a beach for a week at a music fest. I literally went to the beach once on the 3rd day, stood in the water up to my knees, got splashed by a few waves, took a photo, and headed off. 10 minutes max. Really gotta practice this more.
Caribbean baby here 🙋🏽♀️ "you no see I got on mi frolic shoes" is a real thing 😂😂😂
Hey you wanna go FROLIC” LOL!!!!!! 😂My favorite type of comedy you gotta love that laid back dry since of humor
When my father, as a young gentile boy lived in NY, the jewish ladies would leave the window to the fire escape open and he would come and light their stoves on the sabbath. I always thought it an exotic way to earn a few, so yeah, it's a thing
What is that an euphemism for?...
When he told you he "stoked their embers", he wasn't talking about the family stove.
Casey Clemons Well, the ones that think they’re better than. Like, it’s okay for you to sin in my place type bitches. Cuz we’re just animals to them. Yeah, that’s a thing.
@@maddie9602 I agree, it seems like an exploit and not keeping with the intent of the dogma. But, to each, his own. Whatever floats your boat.
Allan Hegyes Wow, that's awesome. And dedicated! You just don't see that in every day culture today...
But, my mind immediately went the wrong way with it too.
I love this guy. He's funny as hell.
"No Brooklyn" LMAO THE TRUTHHHHHHH and if they go they'll charge $40 thank god for uber 😂😂😂😭
Jazmyn I’ll pursue a career in cab driving just to give you a lift 😩
@@elijahgavin6706 awwww 🙈🙈 you so sweet lol
@@elijahgavin6706 smooth brother...smooth
This man was born funny. Not everyone can do what he's doing.
That was a tight set, I like this dude ALOT. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Like your name. 😁🙌🏾
He is mad funny. Please pay him more!!!!
Frolic, never heard that and I’m from the Caribbean😂😂😂 but imma use it😅
"Don't talk to me, while I'm at work"😂😂😂
I love his vocal pattern/inflections so much! XD
That was hilarious... and after this video I immediately jumped to the “come to Jamaica and feel alright” commercial
"It's gonna be weird in the hallway from now on"😂😂😂
He was one of the easiest comedians to listen to. Like Dave Chapel minus the philosophical thoughts. Just pure conversational humor. I wish for more of him.
"He could've just killed us back home".
Ramon Loteria, you're right man.
“Now I feel bad, I just f*cked up first contact.” 🤣
"U wan go frolick"🤣🤣🤣
"What if I pick at night?" 🤣🤣🤣
He has that Mos Def laid back humor. We need lots more of him. Hour specials and late night shows!
I miss the Nightly Show, so much. The man is gold
Yessssss!!! I was jut trying to remember what show I know him from! I miss it too- thanks for the reminder!
@@thebeardedlady76 you're welcome
I was looking to see who recognized him!! Bring back Larry Wilmore!!!!!
I hope this guy making some money for his art . Funny as f , So underrated
Dude sued the hospital because of malpractice of the death of his wife during a botched surgery for millons
🎶come to my island 🎵 😂
This never gets old 😂
This is the first I have more than just grinned at the screen at a stand-up comedian in a long time.I actually laughed this time around.
This is one of the best sets they’ve posted in a LONG time. This guy is comedy GOLD! 😂
Frolic shoes need to become a thing, seriously!
Some people are just naturally funny storytellers.
My grandma would make gentiles light her cigarettes on Saturdays 😂 always so awkward
🤣🤣🤣
Not really allowed, but funny it's mentioned
The Sabbath joke was well written.
I keep the seven day Sabbath, & can't make 🔥 fire either.
Thanks 4 sharing😄
Me to and maybe we shouldn't have listen to so much of that 'baby making word' either 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️.
Wtf??? Really?
I thought it was just a a joke!!
That's a fucked up religion!
@@alp9321 it's actually not allowed, but lighting the fire is probably more forbidden than smoking it after it's lit
@@morehn wow really
@@Joe-96X4E yes, because you're not lighting a new fire when you smoke it, it's less bad. There are fewer transgressions committed in that case, but it's still forbidden.
Bro that Brooklyn cab comment hit home . Once the driver said that and I was like "good cuz im goin to the bronx" 😭
The line about "Toby? Shut up don't talk to me I'm at work." Was in an episode of Everybody Hates Chris. Still funny
Shalom my brother 😂
"They never paid"
He has PHENOMENAL speaking patterns/presence & he is insanely smooth with tremendously good ability to narrate around his jokes if that makes any sense? He is a star in the making is my point...I cant believe Ive never heard of this guy until now.
Pretty sure he just decided "frolic" was a funny word and decided using it as much as possible would be funny. He was right.
This is the first I've ever heard of him. He's great!
I miss the Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. Mike Yard is so dn funny and he deserves a Netflix special. Btw, Larry Wilmore has a podcast "Black on the Air". Never will forget the laughs on the Nightly, Mike.
I love how chill his personality is. His set feels more like the funny friend entertaining his social group than a comedian performing.
His gatherings must be hilarious because he's very funny.
“They never paid” I am DYING 🤣
It's interesting to see Mike perform this bit again, and to get to see how he added so many tweaks to where the "heart" of the story/interaction is. Miss your pod!
This guy is amazing.... His style feels soo much like Bill Burr and I friggin love it 😂😂😂
Never looked like he's trying too hard and was very funny.. Surely deserves a special
Bill Burr & Hannibal Burress
Mike yard has been my favorite comedian for years. Funny dude
"No Brooklyn" 😭😭😭😭
For the most part when Mike Yard is doing stand-up he is always sitting funny brother
Mike Yard is so under appreciated
'Here we gohhh!?' lmao, guy's hilarious af. 👏
* "me frollick shoes on" and te never paid us! lmao! Fredrickstead. 🇻🇮
Steady laughter is all there was for 9 mins. I really really want more.
"Make fire" I'm dead! 💎👏👏👏🔥
This guy is good. Like "surprised I haven't heard of him before good".
Homie said I made first contact 🤣🤣🤣
I laughed at every joke 😂 this man was funny af just has the voice and everything for it
He had me at Connecticut 😂😂😂
Smooth. Impeccable timing, crisp punchlines. Not forced just natural delivery. Mike Yard is that dude. We need more.
I love the technique this guy uses with his laugh. He doesn't fully let it out, just lets out a little tea-kettle laugh at at JUST the right time and it only enhances the hilarity.
