Look at the size of that theater! Three levels and it’s packed. I’m so glad he didn’t give up, and kept at it.
He’s the funniest comic there is these days.
No bad language or sexual overtones = a winner!
@@mikedoyle1780 he’s a class a act !
Him and bill burr. Can watch their specials over and over and still crack up
Give up?? He’s selling out in 30 minutes for 7 shows in 3 days at Carnegie Hall in NYC!!
@@Machria23 yeah you also don’t sell that amount tickets over night.
He has a come up story
As a first generation Italian American, I can confirm this is true about the grandparents. My grandparents were here for half their life and they never learned to speak English outside of a random word here and there that they threw in when they spoke Italian. Luckily for me, it helped me learn to speak Italian. My parents speak English but in the house they still speak Italian most of the time, but my grandparents were Italian all the way. Great memories.
Che bello
I understand why they didn't bother learning English though. There wasn't much gentrification at the time so they kept to Italian communities.
Lol I commend them in their commitment to not learn English
learn fucking english if you're going to live here.
Good memories Tony
Im Italian and im not joking when I say this is completely accurate.
Totally agree ✌😁
True story
Extremely close to the Lebanese culture as well. I relate to everything he says, it’s hilarious.
@@ag6981 It may seem funny to you now, but it must have affected you psychologically as a young kid. Humor is often used to mask pain.
Everybody says this
His expressions and physical comedy are perfect...flawless timing and delivery!
That's what I luv about him! Hilarious!!
He even managed to fit in a "putana" from nona. 🤌
"You, Javier and Athinos will be in the library writing a paper about how immigrants parents don't sign permission slips" Only Sebastian Maniscalco can craft a punchline like that lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I know it's a comedy routine--- but that bit was very sad. Field trips are such a special moment when you're little. I still remember many of my favorite field trips. 😪
As a son of Mexican immigrants I would have been kicking it with sebastian in the cafeteria also.
Yes, an Italian, a Spaniard, and a Greek. Lol!
Lunch room for three days hahsha
I didn't understand my grandparents' broken English any better than I understood their Italian.
My grandfather (Umberto) at 14 years old came to this country alone on a boat from Italy. Thank you for helping me understand that I was not alone growing up living with immigrant grandparents! It’s so great to look back at my childhood and smile.😁
No Italian grandparent ever learned English. Doesn’t matter how long they spent here. Not one word ahaha
And all wore black.
So true! Mine moved here at about 19, died in her eighties and never learned een-ga-lish-ah.
My Grampa Was 100% Sicilian Italian And He Spoke English!!!
Lived In The United States Since He Was 6 Til He Passed Away In 1985 At 86 Years 0ld.
He Said He Forgot How To Speak Italian.
H0W Do You F0RGET To Speak Your Mother Language???
The only words my great uncle Joe from Naples would say "Cah' mere boy"...that was it. Nothing but Italian other than that. That's all I ever understood.
@@Snowowl64 I had a Puerto Rican uncle who never spoke English and lived in the U.S. since the early 1960s. He was able to understand English and had his daughters interpret for non-Spanish speakers. It's easy to lose your native language if you came here very young and all you spoke was English and your parents spoke to you in English at home as well. I was four when my family arrived her via the USMC and we spoke English all the time. I relearned Spanish in school and college so I could talk directly with my Puerto Rican grandma Ramona over the phone. I was so proud when I foolishly threw down in my now fluent Spanish parlance. I no longer needed my mom to explain things! After I begin rambling away in Spanish, my grandma answers me in a confused manner saying that she doesn't understand what I'm saying because I speak with a weird accent. Grandma then hands the phone off to my aunt. Apparently I now speak Spanish with a mix of dialects, Mexican, Puerto Rican and Academic Spanish! Can't win for losing! Lol
"Come si chiama...aspetta" and another word I can't repeat 😉 He knows SOME Italian 🤣
“You, Javier, and Athenos” lmaooo
😂😂😂😂
"ATHENOS"🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! I'm done❣
I was that one kid sitting by himself in class while everyone else was on a field trip. I guess Trinidadian parents didn't know how to sign permission slips either 😂
haha
I never learned to swim either. My Italian parents were too afraid I would drown. Every time I would be at the beach with friends, my mother would put a big orange canvas life jacket on me and I would watch all the kids swimming while I sat on a rock with my orange life jacket. So funny now!
And just to think here in Italy everybody or almost swims in indoor pools in the winter and outdoor pools in the summer.
@@phyld6491 It is not true. I am Italian from Italy and I also can't swim because my parents feared that I would drown. But swimming has never been necessary for me because I have never been to the sea or to the pool, my family has always loved the mountains and long walks. Viva il Trentino e le Dolomiti!
I have Caribbean parents, and this is so relatable 😂
You don’t have to be Italian to relate
His humor is freaking hilarious.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I am at work dying while listening to this because this was my childhood, my parents go to work and I would have to stay with my Sicilian grandparents as well and I remember the game of charades you had to play just to get a cup of juice.
My mother in law is Persian. She’s been here on and off for 25years but still plays charades with me to get a cup of tea. Only learnt how to say thankyou in English last yr.
So true...being Lebanese and growing up in a neighborhood which was mostly Lebanese, Italian and Portuguese, this is so accurate...LOL
Sebastian, Javier and Athenos...in the lunchroom for 3 days. THATS the Chicago way....
Funniest line in the whole routine.
@@Broadwayshowgirl bbking
That was sooooo funny it happened to me too and I am in the UK 🇬🇧 🤣🤣🤣
My grandparents were exactly the same. They watched me after school everyday mostly sign language and the little I knew. Grandma baked her own cookies from scratch with some real weird tools. She cooked for me every day though and her cooking was delicious. Thank goodness she taught all her children her famously wonderful sauce. I loved them all.
"... so now, I don't know how to swim!" Best... digression... ever. This guy just keeps getting better and better!
His Italian is pretty good!!!!
sicilian dialect
"Minchia" by now should be international. And I'm not even sicilian.😂
Minchia is a sicilian dialet
My Sicilian grandmother didn’t speak English either. I was a bit of a mischievous kid. The only thing she ever said to me was “stay nice a”
I’ve seen this clip so many times and every time I can’t breathe 😂😂😂
Love this...so many similarities in the Greek culture and I grew up in a similar way in Belgium...Greek immigrant parents.....they were tough strict parents but really did the best they could. The grandparents were everything too!
It sounds like a sweet mix of Japanese Italian.
Lol. I am all Italian. I grew up like this. I wish I could relive those days. Proud to be Italian.
He's one of my favorite comedians.
I can’t imagine why
@@redram5150 Now you watch your Gott Damned mouth, punk!! Show some respect to the great Maniscalco!
"You, Javier and Athenos" 😂
Im 100% Italian and laugh so freakin hard because its all so true🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
every time he goes into the italian for his grandpa I start crying, I can't. It's so funny. And when he does the grandma, is it just me or is he saying, "who could do this shit ah" lmao
“You, Javier and Athenos will be in the lunch room, writing a paper about how immigrant parents don’t sign permission slips”. 🤣
My mother was an immigrant and I appreciate that!
I’m not Italian, I’m German, but I get it. Hilarious as s#*t. He’s so talented, I have tears when I laugh.
You , Javier and Athenos 😅
My parents didn't see my permission slips from the time I learned how to sign my mom's name in the fifth grade until I graduated. I'd just tell them about later for lunch money.
2:24 BUTTANA 😂😂😂 didn't expect that
Greeks and Italians totally get this 🤣
Yep! Ha ha
And Mexicans! So relatable it's insane! Hahaha
He surely speaks Sicilian pretty well...I don't believe for a minute he didn't grow up speaking Sicilian.
I always signed them all myself. It was hell getting them to sign anything.
This is hilarious 🤣
Do Italian grandparents really act like that?
I c-can't breathe!
I am a 61 years younge grandmother and I never act like that maybe in my 80 I will ? 😂😂
100 % accurate. Also if the grandparents were feeling ok, they still gave you the guilt trip of what they didnt have.
He says he doesn't speak Italian but he actually does pretty good! lol
When he was young he meant. I speak sicilian the dialect both my parents are sicilian I speak it. Thank god. ✝️🙏🏻I am from down under.
@@888alp Sicilian is a very nice dialect, I have read an entire book in Sicilian. The author is Camilleri!
@@888alp you're Sicilian Australian that's pretty rare to learn about I thought all Australian Italians were calabrian
I never understood a word my grandparents said ever lol😂 omg so true
I can’t swim either, you’re not alone. I’m a Calabrese/Sicilian-Irish/Scots woman! Now, there’s a combo for ya! A Taurus ♉️ NYer 🗽as well! 🙄😆
You make me laugh so hard! Thank you for all that you do, sir. 💋♥️🗽
White people have like 1/16 irish and they always want to claim it lmao
No bitch you’re probably just american
@AbraRf I wouldn't claim it not even if they paid me. I'm 100 italian and that's it.
Just the small details are hysterical, I don't think enough people realize that him using the names of Athenos and Javier is what put the ending to the story over the top.
I'm in fucking tears haha figghiu meu, santa Madonna puttana 😂 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
😆😂😂🤣
My grandparents didn't speak English either but my parents made sure my sister and I were bilingual. I don't understand why his parents didn't teach him Italian. My close friend was taught 4 languages growing up (English, Dutch Turkish and French), so it's possible to teach your kids multiple languages. Also my immigrant mother not only signed permission slips, she was one of the parents who help supervise the trip. Thanks mom!
Comic's definitely got the makings of a varsity athlete!
Underrated comment
Literally all my Italian greats aunts and uncles who came to the states as adults speak just like that. I’m dying watching it the second time
Absolutely hysterical and soooooo accurate!!! 🤣🤣🤣
When I was in 5th grade, my class had gone camping at a nature park. My parents who are Italian immigrants wouldn't give me permission to go on this camping trip. My teacher called my parents and them that it would not do my education any good if I didn't go. My parents argued with the teacher that it is not beneficial for me to go camping. As a result, my parents caved in to my teacher's demands and mom and dad had to buy me a sleeping bag. My dad knowing what a tightwad he was didn't want to buy the sleeping bag. It is a cultural thing that non Italians do not understand.
Thanks for the clarification for us Non-Italians!!! Stay Blessed.
@City Nat Yep.
But is the actual issue with letting their kids go? Is it just economics or is it because the activity isn't something normally done in the home country?
Because the italian parents are very, but very protective...ahhaha
@@Babykilla76 Accurate. I am an adult whos nearly 28 , with a kid and I pay my own bills, but if my elderly italian mother had it her way, I'd be made to live with her forever and would have to ask for permission just to leave the house.
This man is a godsend
I can't tell you how many times my teachers thought I was lying because I wrote my own permission slips. Or in trouble for forged signatures when I told them my mother actually told me to sign on her behalf. Or the countless government documents and bank papers I had to translate or fill out.
I didn’t know his grandparents were Japanese 😳😳😳
Love this bloke!!!
Same here he's on point about the Italian experience
*I died and then was brought back to life @ the pizzeria napkin* 🤣😂
Sebastian's grandmother sounded more Japanese than Italian based on his impression.
I thought she was doing the New Zealand Huka
an angry nonna can definitely have that cadence sometimes lmao
that's almost Sicilian (dialect) and is so good! (im from Rome)
I’m a mother of a “Javier” 😆
Omg the grandma bit lmao. I act just like that !!!😂😂😂
I came home from my first day in high school and told my Italian grandmother I signed up for French. I thought she was going to shoot me. Turns out, Napoleon invaded her little village in the early 1800s. She wasn't even born but the story got passed down through the generations. "I never forget." She said. Forget? It was 100 years before she was born. Then she smacked me upside the head and gave me some pizzale cookies and coffee to eat while I did my homework. :-)
"People never forget, nothing gets forgiven"

How can anyone be sooooo freaking funny like this? He's amazing.
I've watched this at least 5 times. I love his grandmother!
Well, now I'm an immigrant parent and I don't sign permission slips... 🤔
I’m not even italian and it still had me laughing me A off.
Just saw Sebastian at my local casino wow what a great show immense talent! My stomach still hurts from laughing BRAVO👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love this so much! I am not Italian but I can so relate to this with my Grandparents and the language barrier
My grandparents only spoke Korean and I didn't. 100% relatable 😂
He looks like Ben Stiller mixed with Warwick Davis! I just found out about him yesterday. Can't stop binging his videos now!
Addicted to him everyday!!! He is the best!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha! Makes me miss my grandfather even more❤️. This is accurate!
I’m from Colombia , it’s amazing how the Italian culture and Colombian culture is so similar .. when he talks about his family I can totally relate 😂
So funny, and so true...
You speak good sicilian , you got in your DNA 😂love from Italy
ROTFLMAO OMG! IM LAUGHING HISTORICALLY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
THE BEST! OH YAY, EXACTLY SPOT ON!!!
lol, in his jibberish Italian, I think he said 'puttana catzo' imitating his nonna when she was walking to the sink! lol
You, Javier and Athenos.... Lmfao
lol charades! My grandparents taught me Italian but I forgot it as I grew up; my son who is now 50 speaks really good Italian! How I miss those days. My grandfather was a hunter and fisherman every time I walked in the back door of the house there was something hanging there, but they ate everything he brought home. They came from Sicily and my father’s parents came from Abruzzi. Lots of fun, I miss those days.
Omg!! This is so true. He has me rolling on the floor laughing 😂
Awwww...the part with school kids without permission slips is so sad though :) funny but sad 😞
Omg... I love this man... makes me laugh so hard... 🤣😂😆
This is great comedy, well done!
This is completely accurate and very relatable.
If I have a bad day l just have to watch Sebastian ,everything is okay, the day is saved.
Bravo!
If you want through this and you Italian , it makes you laugh 😆 and 😢
All so true!! He's the best!!
You.....Javier.....and Athenos.......Brilliant!
So true...my parents never signed one permission slip. They are immigrants 😂🥰
“You, Javier, and Athenos” 😂😂😂
That punchline at the end 😂 😂
so true! ditto with my grandparents! but so precious. great memories and so funny!
OMG. This is gold.
Yep, my Mexican parents were busy working two jobs each... they didn't have time to sign a dam slip hahaha...
This guy absolutely amazing, no bad words, no R rated stuff just great story telling.
Absolute gold!!!
OMG...this is my story too! Still can't swim either!!!
He's the best....love him!
This is hilarious. Lol. Italian so definitely can relate. In some ways Maniscalco is like the counterpart to Lopez.
It's all true.
Every word.
My grandparents from Calabria raised me. I miss them so much. I love when I hear the
dialect. Brings me back.
Too accurate! 😂😂😂😂
Nice to have grandparents.
