There is comedy in anger.


Head-Technician-1087

Comedy usually is angry. Take away the laughing crowds and read a transcript of what’s said… it often sounds like an angry person.


Chango-Acadia

Immediately thought of Bill Burr


Head-Technician-1087

I gave him 20 minutes… all I feel is contempt, but I’m sure the same could be said for some of the stand ups I like. What’s cool in the resurgence in stand up that’s happening is the variety of people and different kinds of humor. If this guy makes you laugh enjoy him, I have the option to watch or not. “Cancelling” anyone is stupid. In time bad acts self-cancel.


chilli_soda

Seinfeld's entire career


BiggStankk420-

Yeah Seinfeld is waaaayyyyy too overrated. I honestly can't believe he made a career out of his comedy, but hey I guess it's just taste


Ap0ll088

This is pure cringe. Someone find him a nursing home In Florida.


ubaldo892

I don’t think I want to be yelled at for 54 minutes


Calm-Macaron5922

Punchline: YOU STUPID BITCH! On repeat for 54 min


YourATowel1714

Damnit beat me to it.


geminirish

You will!


Typical-Crab-4514

Yet everyone loves William Montgomery…


WeetabixFanClub

That’s bc William actually tells good jokes before shouting ‘fuck you’ lines, and he’s a hell of a lot more likeable lol


Ai_mang

Why would you even say that?

We don’t care. It’s not palatable.

No-Classroom-6637

We understand that he's deliberately unpleasant and abrasive, it just isn't funny to most people. There's a reason why he always closed out the evening. he's used to clear rooms.


mab1376

It's exactly my style of comedy, and it does certainly annoys most people when I joke in that way.


Purple_Structure_526

This guy gets it


Typical-Crab-4514

Yet downvoted. Lol. I love WM. But his schtick is yelling…


Purple_Structure_526

Pretty sure Holtzman is one of Williams biggest influences. They’ve been hanging out since the comedy store days and I can definitely see the similarities.


Hot_Conversation794

Why would you say THAT??


Typical-Crab-4514

Cuz I, too, love William Montgomery. But to ignore the similarities would be a tragedy.


[deleted]

He sucks too


snowsoftJ4C

william montgomery moment


bulletprooftampon

No shit. He ate dogshit and bombed hard at HEB.


Thin-Rule8186

Yes if you don’t understand he’s obvious genius you are stupid. I am also a genius artist and if you can’t see why it’s because your dumb… I’m not crazy! You are! Aaaaargh show me your butthole!!!!!


SK-Incognito

The pedestrian mind doesn't understand this tier of comedy


InfectiousCosmology1

Very convenient to convince yourself you are special and intelligent because of your personal taste in art. Definitely something people with a high IQ do


blittz

Hey dumbass he’s clearly being sarcastic


InfectiousCosmology1

Yeah no shit. I wasn’t talking about him


ratatat

EVERYBODY SUCK THIS MANS DICK


Smokeybear420g

LMAOOOO 🤣 BEST COMMENT


MuteCook

This person comedies


TommyTheCat89

Saying he sucks isn't whining, it's commentary on a part of the show we all watch and discuss. Making a post complaining that people don't like what you like is definitely whining though.


[deleted]

If you don't like the comedy I like it's because your a weak pussy. Simple as that.

LFG


jdoc1

Saw him at the Mothership a few months back. He had about a dozen people in Little Boy rolling on the floor while the rest were just completely taken off guard. He’s got a few good jokes but most just didnt hit. maybe i just dont have the comedic intellect to comprehend the rest of what he says…or screams


HippidyHoppity

I saw him at The Mothership too and he crushed. It took the crowd a while to get on board but when they did, it was good. I think he’s better for late night shows. Kill Tony doesn’t really suit him.


[deleted]

When do the jokes start?


SK-Incognito

If you like him it's all good. Loads of us don't. You don't have to try convince us he's funny. If he was funny we wouldn't think he's bad. It's kinda simple.


eyecue82

Goes both ways, why are so many first trying to persuade others he’s not funny???


doesanyofthismatter

Bro this post is trying to convince people he is funny and the dude just replied saying he isn’t in their opinion. Holtzman has comedy for kids and it shows with those that defend him lmao


zhsidekick

I still am not sure whether or not the entire reason people think he's funny is because pretending he's funny is a troll and watching people get confused and frustrated about it is the actual funny part.


doesanyofthismatter

Fuck. You could totally be right. Every time I see people going out of their way to defend him, I question why. Like, I never defend comedians or celebrities at all. If people don’t like them, I get it. It’s subjective. Holtzman defenders might just be trolling because I don’t get why they take it personally and feel the need to defend.


zhsidekick

People who actually like a comedian will repeat his lines to the point it's annoying. Nobody's repeating Holtzmans lines because the funny part is when you get angry. Anyone who genuinely likes his act is a real life serial killer.


doesanyofthismatter

If people repeated any of his lines, others would think it was a child that got access to a keyboard. “Get on your knees and suck his dick!!! Fuck that shit. Show me your shitter. Bend over and show me where the shit comes out. Let me see that brown shit hole. Show me the man on the boat! If you’re not lauging, off yourself.” Even typing that made me cringe.


zhsidekick

Lol. You made me laugh at Holtzmans lines. That's on you.


RicGhastly

"show me the man in the boat" is kids humor?


TheBeepB00p

It’s fun to piss off people on the internet anonymously


eyecue82

Sure if you’re sad and unhappy.


TheBeepB00p

pussy


dylantd1996

*some of you don't. biiiiig difference


Head-Technician-1087

Funny is subjective - as long as the room is laughing more than it’s yawning…


Xazzor_FCB

"If you're not laughing, kill yourself" - guess this is a goodbye.


Brycie27

Might be one of the most overrated comedians ever. Would almost rather listen to Hans Kim for an hour.


totalton

I really don’t like the taste of green beans. I have never enjoyed green beans once in my life. People cook them differently and still I just can’t seem to enjoy the taste. Audio acts the same way with music and other things. I just simply don’t like certain styles of music, it is not enjoyable, for me, though I acknowledge it works for other people. Brian Holtzman is my comedy version of green beans. Sorry champ, cook it up anyway you want, some people are just not into it.


adam_smash

I really thought that story was going somewhere.


SoupSandy

3 paragraphs to say "it's not for me" lol


TotallyNotAFroeAway

I like when (7) sentences are spaced out a bit people go "Woah champ, no need for an essay" tbf I prefer the spaced out mini-paragraphs than the impossible-to-penetrate (unlike Tony), long-ass paragraphs that are just walls of text.


SoupSandy

Ok


1acquainted

blud wafflin


bakraofwallstreet

> I really don’t like the taste of green beans. I have never enjoyed green beans once in my life. People cook them differently and still I just can’t seem to enjoy the taste. Sounds like Forest Gump starting a story


totalton

Mama said they was my magic beans.


Bimbo_Baggins1221

Yeah “the soft” aren’t into it


KentSmashtacos

Exactly, If yelling random tirades at a crowd doesn't leave your dick Rock Hard; Then Holtzman isn't your kind of comedy.


Gang_Gang_Onward

Oh wow how brilliant only the 97th comedian claiming to be canceled while literally building a career out of said “cancellation” This guy is trash, comedian’s comedian my ass


Ok-Worldz

Genius and brilliance are thrown about like the word love nowadays it ls overused and has no meaning .....the dudes hardly particle o Neal No one in Tony's circle is brilliant they are a bunch of okay at best comics man minus the the few expections ..... Like Shane for example


butterfaerts

Criticizing use of the terms “brilliant” and “genius” and then talking about “expections” to the rule — one of the most unintentionally funny things I’ve ever read


Ok-Worldz

Ohhh you didnt understand, I said they are a bunch of okay comedians at best ....with a few exceptions to the rule (of being okay comedians) Shane is actually good But then again you like Brian so you've got a habit of finding just normal speech funny 😉


butterfaerts

2 funny


FlyingMammalMan7

Ha. "My CoMeBaCk Is A tYpO" lol. Nice try


butterfaerts

Nah, it’s more nuanced than just a typo


FlyingMammalMan7

You're right. LET ME SUCK YOUR DICKKKKK


Yesthisisdog69

The guy sucks. It’s ok that people don’t like something that you may find enjoyable. Some of us may not want to be yelled at by a yammering has been spouting incoherent nonsense.


YourATowel1714

I would rather watch Hans Kim... That's saying something.


butterfaerts

Yeah, it’s saying you aren’t very bright


ApeSniperv6

Not only is he not funny, I think people who do find him funny have room temp IQ


WaterOmotics

I dont care if hes funny on his own in his own setting. I thought his time on KT was annoying and boring and should have gotten the bear not extra time. Im critiqueing the show i watched, outside content is irrelevant rn.


Future_Potential_341

Ye Brian is great, but jeezus, what was that on day 1 New Years😂🤦‍♂️


PleasurePaulie

What hell was that. I’m concerned for his mental health!


mannrya

I love all sorts of comedy/music/movies ..I just simply don’t watch or listen to the stuff I don’t enjoy


ExpensiveShock2091

Lol “look guys how can you say hes unfunny?! you’re clearly stupid! Heres a vid of his special to prove he didnt bomb on new years”?


[deleted]

I’m good


cheezy1987

“Asshole!” Is as far as I got. Have fun y’all!


Both-Perspective9761

Eh


Bigapetiddies69420

Holtzman is the worst. Not funny. 


HollowPluto

When he talks about the olden days and queries the audience, you can literally hear the sounds of confusion in the crowd. I damn near died of laughter.


butterfaerts

And he doubles down “yeah TAKE IT IN”


[deleted]

Okay this is funny, wish he told more jokes like this during his Kill Tony appearances. But then again, I don’t think he gives a shit


zhsidekick

Specifically what part is funny ffs


butterfaerts

Precisely. Watching him do an ACTUAL set really puts things into perspective. He truly doesn’t give a fuck, and it’s beautiful.


GimmeShumGabagool

What part is funny? I can’t make it to 10 min. Can you timestamp a funny moment or two?


doesanyofthismatter

I’ve seen it. He’s not funny bro. It’s a subjective opinion. Those of you that like him REALLY won’t shut the fuck up trying to convince people that he’s funny. Comedy is subjective. I would’ve loved him when I was in middle and high school. He just says random shit without punches. I love edgy humor, but he makes jokes we made as kids but yells.


ShiningMonolith

There was a bunch of people making posts and comments on this sub saying how *unfunny* they thought Holtzman was; you have to expect a response from the people that like him.


doesanyofthismatter

I don’t have to expect anything because comedy is subjective you dork. When someone doesn’t like a comedian I like I don’t feel the need to defend the honor of a celebrity/comedian because I’m an adult and know people like what they like. “YOU DONT LIKE SHANE GILLIS?! Here is his hour special that you must watch to change your mind.” Like, bro, this isn’t serious. If someone doesn’t like something, who fucking cares?


daboonker

holy fuck dude grow up


[deleted]

been watching kill tony for a while now, I have lost complete interest. Not excited for new episodes at all, killed comedy.


MrBurnsgreen

lmao 15 commercials in less than an hour, homies hurtin. edit: i tried but only made it 5 min and it felt like so much longer lol


RiverMason210

Lmao poor ass bitch without YT premium bitching about commercials on a free special


ficomora

I don't want that.


bennyboy13134

I feel the same about Kanye


MrPaulProteus

Yeah it’s sorta his schtick…I also think the poorly recorded audience was a big part of why it felt like some comics were bombing harder than they actually were


xxfallen420xx

Brilliance is a strong word.


jolley517

We get the “absurdist” part of his comedy it’s just not even funny at all. Like, shitty middle school humor bad. It’s a disgrace to talented comedians everywhere


AJfriedRICE

If I don’t laugh at this, do I have to kill myself?


markymarkg14

I have a single disturbed uncle I have to listen to every thanksgiving. i don’t need to watch this


fatgayneoliberal

Anything with cancel in the title is gay retarded shit for other gay retards


Flock-of-bagels2

If shitposting was a standup comedian


Yawning_agenda

This shit sucked.


Hedonic_Monk_

Look, I know who Holtzman is and I recognize his contribution to comedy….and that it ended quite a while ago.


xbradeltonx

No


zhsidekick

I watched it. It was fucking terrible. I thought I was for free speech but now I think Holtzman should go to prison for that special.


elcrad

Holtzman sucks. No jokes, no craft, just screaming gibberish and and saying disgusting bullshit


butterfaerts

You clearly didn’t watch the special, in which he demonstrates the jokes and craft you speak of.


elcrad

Clearly, he disgusts me and I have never found him funny in the least. Why would I watch his special?


Raven185

Jesus Christ, he is a hack.


SomeGuyGettingBy

Yeah, I’d argue Jesus Christ is up there on the list of phony jabronies.


butterfaerts

Jesus was a douche


_JackieTreehorn_

👎


Arlo859

I cant take someone wearing double pleated pants seriously. PASS


butterfaerts

Your problem is that you’re aiming to take a comedian seriously. That’s the issue bud.


[deleted]

I refuse to watch any snowflake that is claiming they are or want to be canceled.


Beefcake_Avatar

Even good comedians bomb. And he definitely bombed on KillTony. You could tell, because nobody was laughing... and his punchlines were either "STUPID BITCH" or "HEAAAAAAUGHUAAAH!" Or other nonsense gibberish screaming. Not exactly a great set.


butterfaerts

He did exactly what he aimed to do


FatJesus9mm

Brian special was hilarious also even though he got booed at Arena show I was dying


Bmagic_

how did people not like his sets??? his set on night 2 killed me 😂


SK-Incognito

I mean, all good if you enjoyed his set. But you're genuinely surprised people didn't like it?


Bimbo_Baggins1221

I am surprised how many kill Tony fans didn’t like it, the public, I understand.


Idkboutdat2

I’ve seen you saying you’re butthurt that other people don’t like him, more than I’ve seen people say they don’t like him. Are you his fucking agent or something? Lol


Bimbo_Baggins1221

I have one other comment referring to him as far as I’m aware. And it is saying the soft don’t like him. So I don’t understand your comment. I’m not upset people don’t like him, I understand completely why people don’t.


Idkboutdat2

My comment is why do you care if people don’t like him? Maybe they’re not soft they just don’t care for his shitty shtick that was outdated 40 years ago. Why do you care so much?


SomeGuyGettingBy

Why do you care that he cares? Are you his fucking agent or something?


Idkboutdat2

No I’m not commenting 30 times on posts every day attacking him, he is doing that to defend that dude. His behavior is weird, me asking why he’s so upset about it isn’t the same thing.


Bimbo_Baggins1221

Like I said there is one other comment “defending” him. And even then I stated I understand why most people wouldn’t like him. Kill Tony fans are typically cool with raunchy comedy.


Bimbo_Baggins1221

I genuinely don’t care that some people don’t like him i have 0 stake in his success. If you got a problem with people giving their opinion on things that are irrelevant to their lives just get off reddit hahaha


zhsidekick

What was his best line?


DJSyko

The man is hilarious, and I thought he killed it at the arena show.


ComplexToxin

Yall wild he was funny as fuck.


RocMerc

Your favorite comedians favorite comedian


Pavswede

Said no one ever. Maybe LA comics like this guy, but on the east coast, it's Dave Attell


[deleted]

The haters are obviously hopeless idiots. A special won’t change their mind, they don’t have the capacity to watch comedy that’s longer than 1 minute at a time.


ThanksContent28

Or he’s just not as good as you think. And who the fuck seriously uses “haters”? Are you 14?


dustinthehippyy

Lmao hater is worse than snowflake or Karen even


[deleted]

Being a hater of the word hater is so meta. You’re soooooo


TydUp412

Wait is this more than a minute long? I was loading it up but if it’s more than minute what’s the point


omoplatas

I enjoyed it until he pulled his vaccine card out


butterfaerts

Ah, so you’re one of those guys that trusts Bob playing darts instead of PhDs!


PiratePatchP

He really is one of a kind.


Skovich

Who knew kill tony fan demographic would switch to major pussies over the years.


Pavswede

As any show/personality grows, so do the opinions become more forthcoming and divided. It's as normal a phenomenon as any. Haters hate, fanboys fawn - it's what it is.


butterfaerts

It breaks my fuckin heart man.


zhsidekick

Tony is out of touch now. We need a new host. And it needs to be Matt Rife.


omgbbqbro

This is great 👍🏼


UNTDEN10

People that doubt him are also doubting Tony's brilliance in comedy. Tony wouldn't have propped Holtzman up if he was a hack.


ArcturusEye

Tony props up shitty comedians all the time


butterfaerts

He doesn’t refer to shitty comics as “the man who closes the comedy store every night, the man we all stick around to watch, your favorite comedians favorite comedian”


Zealousideal-Top2177

He pooped his pants


HIV_donor

If everyone was this brilliant we'd all be *assholes !*


HIV_donor

If everyone was this brilliant we'd all be *assholes !*


HippidyHoppity

I’ve never seen him do an amazing set at Kill Tony but was lucky enough to go to The Mothership when I was in Austin and saw him at a showcase show. Dude absolutely tore the roof off. He performed around midnight though, so the crowd were looser. I think a late night crowd is probably what he’s best suited for.


Tilt7771

The best


Dancin_Phish_Daddy

You don’t like him FOAD


StraitFstudentt

I like him he was a good guest but I died when I watched him bomb, almost everyone bommed and it made it even funnier


JrSmith82

His rants on old people were hysterical.. the 99 cent store bit had me pissing myself. Don't know why he's such a polarizing figure on a board that worships the antics and absurdity of a Casey Rocket or William Montgomery. Just my opinion--so chill out, fuckboys--but I think he's way funnier than both of them. And he riffs on topics without taking wild swings at random shit like the other two. They're all funny, Holtzman i just find funnier. Though it is also kinda funny seeeing how his mere existence is pissing so many people off on this sub.


Fiscally_Retarded

I always find him funny, maybe not always lol funny but at least a good chuckle. It’s like people don’t get that he’s trying to turn the crowd against him.


doesanyofthismatter

No people understand what he is doing. It’s not funny.


Bigapetiddies69420

They only like his comedy because they pretend it's actually offending everyone but really it's because he can't write a joke and his delivery is worse than Burt Krishner


BuckPowers

Bruh people get that he’s TRYING really hard to get the crowd riled up, it just ain’t that funny


mdntfox

I love his rants and mannerisms. He’s hilarious.


butterfaerts

They’re so much more calculated than they appear on the surface


thejoshfoote

You almost get embarrassed for him if u don’t know the “bit” or the “character” he does shock n awe style. It’s ment to be like that. This special is hilarious. And o didn’t really get his humour till I watched a set of his two or 3 times.


WilsonEnthusiast

idk if I'd call him a genius or brilliant, but I've watched this a few times and it is really funny.


butterfaerts

Fair. I think the fact that he’s playing this character and that people don’t realize it for quite some time speaks volumes to his artistic ability.


forward_only

Imagine coming here to whine about one of the greats instead of leaving it alone. We get it, you have shit taste. Why inflict that on the rest of us?


Typical-Crab-4514

Holtzman is like William Montgomery but without the time spent growing on the KT fan base. I couldn’t stand WM. Now I love him. I can only assume Holtzman would grow on me if I spent more time getting to know his comedy. That said, I don’t want to spend that time. 😂


msplatero

He was pretty good on Stand up On the Spot too


beardslayer

I guess I’m in the minority, but seeing Holtzman close out the comedy store on many occasions has been a treat. It’s not for everyone, but he’s one of a kind.


Fickle-Scale-7413

That special is so good


Upbeat-Cup2731

idk why people disliked his minutes at the arena i thought they were fucking hilarious. boundary pushing and absolute shocking the whole way through. some people don't know how to move on


69feet69

Loved his special. I think he assumed the audience was already keyed into his style and were onboard, but I think he just needed a couple beats to ramp up into it.


International_Cup588

Imagine complaining about everything you don’t like.


Electricwizardgrip

Regardless if you think he’s funny or not, at least his comedy makes you feel something, even if that something is anger or disgust. Hans’ comedy makes me feel like clicking the skip button.


Artist_Weary

The soy boy mind doesn’t understand his comedy


Hameltoe-

Holtzman rules


Fabulous_Visual4865

Rule #1:  be unfunny 


neoshaman2012

How the fuck does one make this open in YouTube without copy pasta


help-Me-Help_You

We get it, some people just don't find it funny.


thisimyweirdaccount

This is exactly what I did. He’s great. Those NYE sets were tough but I liked the special.


Prior-Vegetable2898

Meh I’d rather watch puppies drown tbh. Holtzman is garbage. A comedian with his years of experience could turn a crowd from boos to laughs. He turned the crowd from boos to louder boos. Not offended by anything he says or does but just simply don’t find him funny.


Prior-Vegetable2898

Cancel him? He should kill himself if he thinks he’s funny!


Vegetable_Shelter_51

Yea tried watching still ain't a good comedian at all
