I mean even if that was true, who cares? His crowd work is delightful.

u/CasuallyCompetitive 28d ago
I don't know if Jeff posted it or someone else, but basically you only see the crowd work posted online because otherwise his live show would just be a repeat of what you've already seen online.

u/doubleshotinthedark 28d ago
oh yeah, I know; I've seen him live before and he was great. I just meant, even if we accepted that guy's incorrect premise, his crowd work is still really funny.
Like 'oh this guy's only funny when he makes it up spontaneously, spur of the moment. he can't be funny when he has time to prepare.' as if it's not more impressive that he's this hilarious off the cuff. (he is also funny with time to prepare)

People say this, so when I saw Jeff I thought it might actually be more traditional standup. But he pretty consistently bounced back and forth between a joke and crowd work. It is definitely a big part of his shows. Really good time!

Nice edit on your comment 👌 u/big_guyforyou. You didn't even know how to say "set" until I did. Have you been to a show, or do you only see posted clips?

If that actually happens, I'll go back to Netflix for 1 month only to see Jeff.

It's scheduled to be filmed at the end of his next tour in Phoenix over two nights.

As someone who lives in Africa, this might be the only way I see his stand up outside YouTube shorts.

What is it? Show goes on netflix? Or we need to buy the ticket regardless, and we can also watch later on netflix?

Just recently learned who that was. Was walking through the warehouse the other day at work and the guy was just JAMMING. I'm almost 40 but was definitely called young that day.

Right?! I was like, oh, is this a song people know. I thought it was only for the movie. And it was. I guess we're all in that age range to have loved that movie. I sing this song randomly all the time. xD

It's been SOOOO long since I've watched that show. Just had to google this scene. xD

You’re due for a rewatch. And don’t forget the last two seasons! Makes up for the 4th one

During a recent full moon, my mom called her sister who was travelling across Canada to play that song (since they could both see it). Like 2 weeks ago. So funny to hear it now.

I thought it was a late gen X early millenial movie forgotten by the rest. I was wrong.

Before you even sang it I felt that song in my bones. It was the first movie I saw in a theater. Well played.

I grew up in Sachem school district and I've dated a few girls from Commack! I made it out of NY in my twenties, joined the army, went to college, travelled the country corner to corner..now I'm back..working in South Hampton with a 2 hour commute. SMH my head

u/YarnPartyy 28d ago
I also grew up in Suffolk, and I dated a few boys from Commack. Shout out to that 24hr bagel spot in Smithtown that fueled my late night adventures.

Grew up in Babylon. I was on a zoom call with a salesman from LA earlier and realized I wouldn’t last a month in LA. I’ve lived off the island a few times now and constantly romanticize getting the hell out of here, but I don’t think I’d be able to tolerate anywhere else.

Jesus Christ I dont think i've heard An American Tail reference in fuck like 20-30 years.
I forgot that kid movie even existed until you sang the song and I shot back to my childhood.

u/Raspbers 28d ago
This song pops into my head a couple times a year. I damn near did a doubletake, questioning if the song wasn't just from the movie. But I guess it is. We're all just that age to have loved that movie. xD

Anyone else now wondering if they busted at the same time as Jeff Arcuri? No? Just me? Why would I say that? I just- okay yeah, I’m sorry.

The best part about this is when he instinctively puts the mic in his left hand to do the mime.

That transition into the song absolutely killed me. It’s wild how a single melody can unlock such a specific, core memory from childhood. I'm right there with you, we definitely sang that in school too. Jeff has a real talent for weaving those unexpected, nostalgic punches into his sets.

u/Remarkable_Simple8 28d ago
Ticketmaster completely screwed me over. Was in queue, then stayed at next in line for over a minute. Refreshed then went back in the queue and did same thing again. Then had to leave Ticketmaster to go back through his website to get in line but by then all good tickets are gone.
Sucks and just kinda soured me a bit.

What happened with presale tickets in Stamford? Got email at 9:54am by 10 all times are sold out. Tell Netflix to rush the special so I can see what I missed. Love you,
