His stammering bit, after the scrabble set up, about not being able to spell 'geese' is awful in so many ways.
Besides how shitty the joke is, and how poorly he performs it; it indirectly rips off, strips of humor and Matareses down Brian Regan's very well known and hilarious spelling bee bit.
Regan had been performing and honing that bit for years, it's an amazing performance, even just audio, and was really popular in 2007, as he still is. YouTube was getting big and different versions of him doing his spelling bee bit were all over the place.
To see Joe leach on and suck the funny so ham handedly out of such a beloved act is nauseating, especially with his preamble "so here's how dumb I am, get this, this really happened. So my wife and I sit down to play scrabble..."
His reaction to the laugh/applause break (which were encouraged and even pumped up or fake on Letterman stand up spots in the 2000s) is even grosser.
He must have blown one of the Stangles to get on this show.
I'm going to be fair and say there was one thing that constituted as a joke in that act. "Don't yell out my full name during sex, it's too formal and we're under-dressed." But then he went and fucked it up with some weird, "So I started yelling out my full name too!" with a gay ass "lol aren't I wacky?!" shrug and grin. The fuck was that?

I love how he fucked up the punchline on the tv joke. Also, he's dressed like a 1950's bus driver.
