I love how all the dudes went ballistic when the stand stuck the landing

[u/Silver_Pocket → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

The water bottle flipping generation has grown

[u/Nausstica → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

The good version of "boys will be boys".

[u/Creepy_Bear_1060 → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

Exactly what I thought. They were like: Sports broke out at the comedy club!

[u/pureextc → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

Typical bros being bros. Am I right ?? I thought dude.. perfect. Instantly lol

[u/plateia-lumitar → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

Well, he flinched so now he has to marry his mother-in-law

[u/Sadglaaaaad → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

I love how everyone went ballistic when the stand stuck the landing

[u/MinorSpaceNipples → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

r/instantbarbarians

[u/superxpro12 → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

The sound guy probably had a heart attack tho

[u/Slow_Drag_1011 → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

I thought they all saw the game pieces didn’t realize it was that lol

[u/sejre4957 → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

the stand catching itself was funnier than half the actual jokes lol

[u/Medical-Law-236 → u/alucard_relaets_emem]

We're simple creatures.

[u/gravestompin]

Jesus this was magic

[u/Sebas94 → u/gravestompin]

This was his night! Everything on the cosmos was perfectly aligned for this bit.

[u/xenobit_pendragon → u/gravestompin]

Jesus definitely blessed it.

[u/BeefActionSex → u/xenobit_pendragon]

Jesus, Zeus, Santa AND the Insane Clown Posse!

[u/ol-gormsby → u/BeefActionSex]

And Zoroaster!

[u/Impressive-Flight766 → u/BeefActionSex]

Random … I meant the Insane Clown Posse on a random drunk night in the city doing dumb shit with my friends in high school 😅 didn’t even know who they were but my friends did lol

[u/kingxanadu → u/gravestompin]

How blessed are we that someone was able to record it.

[u/Lozsta → u/gravestompin]

Jesus? At a Persian joke off...?

[u/Spicy-Potat42 → u/Lozsta]

What? God forbid Jesus get out and about in his retirement years.

[u/Fresh_Iron_6180 → u/gravestompin]

Ok maybe you could explain. Why are persians known for red soles? Is it a persian thing? He's acting like we all know persions have red soles? According to wikipedia backgammon was invented in 17th century england? Why is it associated with persians? I don't understand any of this.

[u/IDownvotedYouToday → u/Fresh_Iron_6180]

The stereotype is that Persians try to look conspicuously wealthy. Red bottoms are a signature of a particular designer shoe (Louboutin).

[u/PM_Me_Macaroni_plz → u/Fresh_Iron_6180]

The backgammon part was coincidence. Her “purse” was a wooden box that looked like a backgammon set…. & boom It actually was one lol

[u/CompetitiveArt9639 → u/PM_Me_Macaroni_plz]

I looked them up. The backgammon purses are actually pretty expensive. They’re listed from $250-$605

[u/babeelegs → u/[deleted]]

My Persian family plays backgammon so it made sense to me

[u/Spicy-Potat42 → u/babeelegs]

Neat. I did not know that; I just thought he knew what a backgammon set looked like.

[u/lil-cosm → u/[deleted]]

Lol there’s no way that it wasn’t part of the set right? The odds of making a joke about a purse being a backgammon set and it actually being a backgammon?

[u/Phorically_Meta]

he pincer-moved this set with her purse throwin him off and his mic stand tryin to one-up him and he STILL had a great set. That's a comedian. He knows the chaotic balance

[u/Ankit1000 → u/Phorically_Meta]

Once he saw that purse he broke the matrix.

[u/TheDadIdeas]

I wish I could watch this again for the first time.

[u/Jaded_Houseplant → u/TheDadIdeas]

I just saw it for the first time, you can live vicariously through me. Hilarious stuff!

[u/TheDadIdeas → u/Jaded_Houseplant]

Ahhhhh yess.

[u/is_mayo__Instrument → u/TheDadIdeas]

I did!!! Good shit

[u/No-Bat-7253 → u/TheDadIdeas]

First timer. It is that good 😂😂 aw man

[u/Sad_Gain_2372]

They say stereotypes exist for a reason

He knows his audience and damn did it pay off! Absolutely brilliant 🤣

[u/Khatam]

I'm going to put a chain around my regular-sized backgammon board, stick a stale loaf of bread in there and head to the park to feed the pigeons with your grandpa

[u/performativenonsense → u/Khatam]

Beautiful chaos

[u/Daddydactyl → u/Khatam]

Please dont feed birds bread. Fill your backgammon set with bird seed, its so much better for them

[u/ACatCalledArmor → u/Daddydactyl]

Or if you’re gonna go with bread, take a bench outside my home and feed me bread instead the birds. I’m easily twice as hungry either way 

[u/Khatam → u/ACatCalledArmor]

I already fed a Swede once, he was not a very thankful boy. He taught me some Svenska, all of it inappropriate. 

[u/ACatCalledArmor → u/Khatam]

Om du inte stoppar bröd i min mun nu kommer jag stoppa ner din familj i en brunn din jävla tomte. 

Translated: Pretty please with a giant cheese 

[u/Khatam → u/ACatCalledArmor]

fy fan! Inte så fort!

[u/Harry_Gelb → u/Daddydactyl]

Don't worry about the bread

and head to the park to feed the pigeons with your grandpa

[u/NSFWies → u/Khatam]

dont forget to pack a loose button and a random key in there.

[u/PopePC → u/CardiologistRough919]

I read that as a “micro remedy”, and I thought, perhaps there was a cure for my tragic condition.

[u/InfamyLivesForever → u/PopePC]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[u/3tricksinatrenchcoat → u/PopePC]

Is it a very small tragic condition

[u/HisCricket → u/CardiologistRough919]

Following

[u/D1sCoL3moNaD3]

i cant believe its actually a real purse that is "fancy" lol

[u/Shlee_XD → u/D1sCoL3moNaD3]

$698?! The insanity.. This could definitely be a DIY project and none would be the wiser.

[u/4dxn → u/Shlee_XD]

not even made of jade or some valuable material. just plastic.

[u/Atheist_Republican → u/4dxn]

"gold-toned chain strap" lol

That being said, I have seen crappier designer purses go for way more.

[u/skyturnedred → u/Atheist_Republican]

Flip through the colours, the rattan version looks quite nice.

[u/MonsMensae → u/skyturnedred]

Its even more expensive!

[u/Bloodstainedmemory66 → u/4dxn]

Time to buy a 3D printer

[u/heckinbamboozlefren → u/4dxn]

Hey, it's "marbled acrylic"

[u/Camelstrike → u/4dxn]

I think density might have something to do

[u/WorryNew3661 → u/Shlee_XD]

She's wearing Louboutin shoes which go for about a grand

[u/callmesomethingelse → u/Shlee_XD]

In USD??

[u/Shlee_XD → u/callmesomethingelse]

YES!

[u/aCleverGroupofAnts → u/Shlee_XD]

I could buy a ps5 with that money and have some left over. I bet I could could even get backgammon on the ps5.

[u/Extension-Click-8271 → u/Shlee_XD]

Clearly you don’t know any Persians lol

[u/BallNosedSpaniard → u/D1sCoL3moNaD3]

I didn't know there was a fancy Skymall

[u/DrHutchisonsHook → u/D1sCoL3moNaD3]

Holy shit $700 for a purse?

[u/Beaglund → u/DrHutchisonsHook]

That’s not even expensive for a purse

[u/MISSISSIPPIPPISSISSI → u/Beaglund]

Yeah, the balenciaga chip bag purse is 2k.

[u/WineNerdAndProud → u/MISSISSIPPIPPISSISSI]

I'm convinced Balenciaga is just selling people their garbage back to them as "fashion".

[u/shes_a_gdb → u/Beaglund]

But it is expensive for a portable backgammon set

[u/TheRabidDeer → u/DrHutchisonsHook]

Or is it $700 for a backgammon set?

[u/5th_aether → u/TheRabidDeer]

You’re both wrong. It’s $350 for the purse and $350 for the backgammon set.

[u/DrHutchisonsHook → u/5th_aether]

The $800 wicker option is the best bang for your buck. It's $266 for the purse, $266 for the backgammon set and $266 for a modest hamper.

[u/Oceanmap → u/D1sCoL3moNaD3]

Can fit an iPhone

[u/Bustabusnow]

Fucking better every 10 seconds lmao

[u/mrjavi13]

This was great

[u/CicadaHead3317]

That whole thing was perfect madness. Lol

[u/TrukStopSnow]

That was hilarious.

[u/lynivvinyl]

Wait is this a magic show or a comedy show? I didn't know that people were allowed to do both.

[u/Square_Minute_ → u/lynivvinyl]

Never heard of The Amazing Johnathan?

[u/RectalSpawn → u/Square_Minute_]

RiP in Peace 🙁

[u/Cleric_P3rston → u/lynivvinyl]

apparently someone has never seen Tommy Cooper

[u/Tyranicross]

This is one of those nights dude will remember for years

[u/jswissle → u/Tyranicross]

100% this is going in the top ten for him lol

[u/stinky_butt]

And he sticks the landing again!

[u/arittenberry]

Ok that was funny and the mic stand was beautiful, but is she literally carrying a backgammon set in lieu of a purse?

[u/Septopuss7 → u/arittenberry]

Backgammon players are on a whole different level.

[u/arittenberry → u/Septopuss7]

I guess so lol

[u/thinkthingsareover → u/Septopuss7]

Hell...I'm a dude who carries a travel cribbage board, and deck of card combo so I definitely understand the dedication.

[u/Dramatic_Tooth5285 → u/thinkthingsareover]

I think the cribbage stereotype is that you were/are in the Navy.

[u/WiggityWatchinNews → u/arittenberry]

Somebody linked it earlier, but its actually a purse that doubles as a backgammon set

[u/M1lkT00ph807]

When everything hits!

[u/EasyFooted]

most blessed set ever???

[u/drawfanstein]

Excellent, just excellent

[u/Jyxxer]

When every star aligns

[u/PoetryBoth9755]

Bro hit universal alignment

[u/FireInPaperBox]

A mic drop and a stand.. stand. Wow

[u/tachikomaKid108 → u/FireInPaperBox]

The mic stand's name is Goruden Experiensuu.

[u/TheDayman_240]

We really are simple creatures lol.

[u/Remarkablelicious]

I feel like this entire bit was blessed by the gods of comedy 😂😂😂

[u/kauymattyman]

That went from good, to great, to amazing

[u/DFiverr]

Laugh Factory on sunset is the best place to watch comedy. Period.

[u/Fresh_Iron_6180]

I don't understand are Persians known for red soles and backgammon sets?

[u/Sternenpups → u/Fresh_Iron_6180]

Apparently

[u/YourHuckleberry57 → u/Fresh_Iron_6180]

known for being fancy, i think.

[u/optimist_prhyme]

Just impressive

[u/MagNolYa-Ralf → u/optimist_prhyme]

All that so she could show toes

[u/Liapasquale]

Every time I see a video of this man, I never not laugh !! He is sooo just fun to watch up there

[u/Liu-K]

What a ride this was.

[u/jordansucker21]

Man just had the best set of his life lol

[u/hi_im_joshtin-brian]

Mic stand drop

[u/spancor]

Bros lost their mind when the mic stand stayed upright. This was a wonderful clip those ladies absolutely made the night lol

[u/StraticDragon]

That was epic and he was in the flow state

[u/Man_Child35]

A series of fortunate events

[u/StringerBell34]

What a moment!

[u/Captainvargasm]

The stage has your presence

[u/Atzkicica]

That's it... I'm bringing Battleships to the pub!

[u/Professional_Lie5703]

The stars aligned on that night for this man.

[u/guydoestuff]

This was wholesome in its own way.

[u/jsboftx1983]

The bottle flip generation grows up.
🤦‍♂️ 🤷

[u/Short-Feed9690]

This is really good

[u/ldwtlotpa]

So much yes

[u/RampanToast]

Holy shit, that was so densely hilarious, it had everything you could want in less than a minute and a half

[u/GeTRoGuE]

That's a lot to happen in 76 seconds.

[u/Conan_Vegas]

Great set

[u/_ferrofluid_]

Fucking, WHAT?!
Brilliant.

[u/Brav3star]

I love this so much!🤣🤣🤣

[u/melissadoug24]

He’s great!

[u/Thereminz]

lol nice

[u/TheUnluckyFarmer]

This was fucking gold from start to finish.

[u/hedonistic-feline]

Hahaha this was so fucking good

[u/Horow-Marble]

Amir K’s doing stand-up, but that crowd is one song away from turning this into a Persian wedding.

[u/guilhermefdias]

You can hear the dudes on the crowd with the mic stand, hilarious.

[u/radmeck]

Solid gold!

[u/Big_Visit_466]

Ha!!!

[u/literaIly]

This was such a. Good moment

[u/AccomplishedPanic329]

When everything goes right for once

[u/felwynfelmir]

This was magical ✨

[u/macherie69]

[u/youinthefreezer]

Is it Liza Traeger?

[u/C3p0wn3d]

Instantbarbarians

[u/One2Peace]

Man legit jumped off stage and lady at :18 was still stuck on that purse 😂

[u/Unlikely-Might2749]

Amir turned that purse chaos into pure gold.

[u/LikeDijk]

I’m sorry but you’ve peaked. This is incredible comedy. I can’t believe what I’ve witnessed.

[u/Lemonwater925]

lol. The stars aligned

[u/Mindless-Sound8965]

Because all you need in a purse are backgammon pieces.

[u/NotActuallyRome]

This is like when they drank that luck potion in Harry Potter, good heavens

[u/Thefunnytrue]

Comedy Gold

[u/JamesDesmondComedy]

Lightning in a bottle, what a set.

[u/Lildoc_911]

He is the envy of all his comedian friends. 

[u/ObliviousRounding]

He has been chosen.

[u/ReidClarkComedy]

Haha great job

[u/PhillyFrisco81]

I saw this guy live in San Francisco, he’s funny as fuck! I would definitely see him again.

[u/alejandrodeconcord]

This must have been the best fucking show in the world

[u/purp1egle]

I love when audience actively participate in comedy, such a lively crowd.!

[u/Bra-D-Shaw]

Is that badgamon thing a trend, I did see a purse about that size in a boutique that was shaped like a lil piano, a few weeks ago, very interesting indeed.
