Pete Holmes
19 2013-10-12 by bigplansisay
Pete Holmes is one of my favorite stand ups working today and I was really ready for his appearance today not to work because his whole vibe is so different from most of the comics on the show but I thought they all kinda rocked it. What did you guys think? Any Holmes fans? Pete, not John.

Seems like a funny guy but that Ray Romano bit was really bad

Yeah, he has a lot of better material than that. That was a bad call.

I thought it started off funny, then fizzled out. Should have scrapped the "Ray Raps!" part. Then again, I just finished exercising, therefor everything was funnier for an hour.

I liked it.

Anyone who likes Pete Holmes should check out his Batman series on YouTube.

Ha! I hadn't seen that one yet. Thanks!

I'd never heard of him, but I enjoyed him. His laugh was just awful, forced and kinda broke the whole thing for me.
Would like to have him back.

That's actually his real laugh. He gets a lot of shit for it.

You leave him alone, he saved Opie and Anthony that time they thought those underage girls got alcohol poisoning and he talked to the cops, so he saved their asses.
Wait.... Ooohh. I don't mind Pete's laugh.

Ruined a couple of Doug Loves Movies for me. Him and TJ Miller together annoy the shit out of me. Was good today though.

Its weird, nobody's laughs bother me. Seth Rogen, Ricky Gervais, Pete Holmes, TJ Miller... all weird laughers and it just doesn't do that thing that it does to other people's ears, I guess.

Oh I suppose you don't like Jeff Garlin either! Pfft
1 dazwah 2013-10-12
Pete Holmes, TJ Miller, Jeff Garlin = the best DLMs.

It's kind of a recurring in joke that Pete and TJ shot on Doug loves movies.
I also found those episodes to be tedious, because it was TJ and Pete just not giving a shit, which they usually do, and deliver.

His laugh is just that ridiculous and always sound like that

Yeah, I knew his schtick and I didn't know how his relentless positivity would play on this show.

Agreed completely. He's very quirky. I was really ready for it to be very awkward. I didn't think he would vibe. But Jimmy said he knew him as a funny comic. He also is a funny guy in general and funny always works. I really thought it was good. Opie even said something about him being a regular.

I'm a big fan of Pete Holmes, I'd like to see him succeed. But that show will be off the air by this time next year.
1 CUNTYMOM 2013-10-12
yeah even though it will probably be better than conan, for fans of OnA atleast, he's a young comic so alot of the good young comics and older OnA comics will be on. i love conan but hate typical movie star guests.
he seems to have some of the best young comics on his podcast, and he's good friends with joey roses, so we'll see that shoulderless ass.
1 dazwah 2013-10-12
I think Pete had said on his podcast at one point that he used to open for Jimmy.
3 FUCaseyK 2013-10-12
He was awesome. I think his laugh was way too forced at times though. I guess its a requirement for talk show hosts.
3 mijobra 2013-10-12
Pete's a great comedian and (minus the loudness) was great today.
That Romano bit did blow though. Hope his show'll have better material than that.
1 Anton_Lemieux 2013-10-12
It was really corny, I was kind of surprised they acted like it was funny afterwards, but he did do well on the show.
3 Chip--Chipperson 2013-10-12
I love him on Doug loves movies
3 Karl_Dilkington 2013-10-12
I despised him on CollegeHumor. It just feels like all of his reactions are forced.
2 [deleted] 2013-10-12
Did not listen to the show today but I've always liked his podcast depending on who the guest might be.
1 dazwah 2013-10-12
That's how I feel about YMIW. I enjoy Pete but if I don't know the guest, nope, don't have the time.
2 thefirebuilds 2013-10-12
You mean Fez, right?
1 havingmadfun 2013-10-12
anyone feel his laugh is very similar to that of Ricky Gervais?
2 Anton_Lemieux 2013-10-12
I felt more a white patrice vibe.
1 PanzerSmanzer 2013-10-12
I enjoyed his father John, and I enjoy him as well. What a talented family.
1 rorixx 2013-10-12
I think his father and his brother are actually named John.
1 ig0tworms 2013-10-12
He had a few decent lines but overall just could not get into him. He seemed like a combination of Ralphie May and Tom Papa.

He is corny and plays to an immature, hipster, sexually confused audience. That said, he can be pretty funny and didn't do too bad today.
20 [deleted] 2013-10-12
Sexually confused likes pays for trannies and piss play or sexually confused like can't maintain a relationship with a woman over 18?

Touché.

I think that if he wasn't doing "comedy" he would be sucking cock somewhere. Just another zilch in the long line of Tonight Show style comedians.
8 CUNTYMOM 2013-10-12
isnt your comic god jim norton that you are apparently a huge fan of a tonight show style comic? i mean he's one of the regulars, im surprised you didnt call pete's appearance "utter dreck" or "booooo" or any other jim saying.
its one thing to throw a chip reference for a laugh, but when you are using jim/ants type sayings and start talking like them, its the worst. you call pete a "zilch" when you dont even have your own identity.
it the words of jimmy "ewwwwww"
-2 creep_boot 2013-10-12
Norton on the Tonight Show is unwatchable shit.
Yes, he gets to sit at the front of the plane, and gets his fix of shitty celeb photos, but don't even begin to pretend it's not a total fucking embarrassment to witness. Norton needs to avoid bright lights.
If this Pete Holmes cunt is indeed another pointless anachronistic late night timewaster, plugging a pointless post Conan waste of electricity, then the guy was right to slam him. And he if was right to slam him, your faggotty response, avoiding the actual issue at hand and trying to instead snipe at choice of language just makes you look a cunt too.
So we're all agreed, you're gonna go fuck yourself.

I hope that guys post falls in a puddle of AIDS.
