The Joey Diaz impression had me rolling
Can someone explain to me who this Brendan Schaub person is?
I like this meme
Are you daft?
>A modern-day renaissance man, Schaub is a former footballer, retired MMA fighter and current podcast host. Now, he adds another achievement to his resume. He takes to the stage to tell his tales in his first-ever stand-up comedy special
Brendan Schaub is a former UFC/MMA heavyweight fighter who was pretty good but not good enough to be really elite. He's friends with Joe Rogan, a UFC commentator/podcaster who convinced him to retire and go into podcasting/comedy after humiliating him on a livestream by explaining that he would never be a champion and that he should give up. The title of the standup special, "you'd be surprised" comes from this exchange on Rogan's podcast:
>Rogan: What do you think would happen if you fought a top 5 guy?
>Schaub: I think people would be surprised
>Rogan: You'd be surprised, they would fuck you up
Who is Brendan Schaub?
Glad you asked!
Brendan Schaub is the greatest fighter of all time. He dominated the heavyweight division before branching out to conquer the entertainment world as well. He used to be known as "The Hybrid" because he totally encompasses what it means to be a mixed martial artist. Early in his career he relied on his raw athleticism, but he refined his technique as he progressed as a fighter. Some highlights are when he picked up a clean knockout of the legend Mirko Cro Cop and actually landed the first D'Arce choke in heavyweight history on Matt Mitrione. I could go on for days about Schaubs record as a fighter, but I think it really speaks for itself.
I'm sure you've heard of his podcast before, The Fighter and the Kid (tfatk.com
I can't he but be inspired by the man. If you want to know anymore feel free to ask. We all love him around here!
The IMDB comments are the funniest part about that special. Remember when specials were... special, and it wasn't some hack that decided he wanted to do what all his buddies have been doing for years.
the future of comedy
>have a chance to watch this douchebag realize his failure as a comic
>instead flood the IMDB with inside podcast references so he can claim it was just "haters" "trolls" or fans "making jokes"
Yeah. Good job.
>tfw you trick your friend into being a worse comedian than you so that you are no longer the worst comedian of all time
>Brendan Schaub is a former UFC/MMA heavyweight fighter who was pretty good but not good enough to be really elite
He was never good
>reading comprehension
The criterion is gonna be whether people find him funny without knowing the Rogan connection or lore. If anyone knows anyone who's seen this without that knowledge, mention how it went. Otherwise this is just another "Brendan Schaub is a weenie" thread.
>renaissance man
>athlete and comedian
That's not what it means
This I don't get. I watched some Theo Von Schaub podcast and they would t to riff and come up with funny insults and one liners and its embarrassingly unfunny. Both of them suck but Schuab is much much worse.
>Theo: You look like a big orangutan with his ears glued shut just screaming
>Brendan: *can't stop laughing* ya well you look like joe dirt
peak podcasting
D'elia on Fighter and the Kid is always hilarious
>You look like a big orangutan with his ears glued shut just screaming
That's funny.
>Theo Von sucks
you tried
What a liar, this is how the exchange actually went
>Rogan: How do you think you would do against Cain Velasquez in a straight grappling match?
>Schaub: I think you'd be surprised.
>Rogan: I think you'd be surprised. I think he'd fuck you up.
>say dark arts 100 times
>act like a shithead even while pretending you're actually a good person
>80 IQs flock to listen to your insight
That's because Callen and D'elia are actually comedians. Check out 10 minute podcast if you haven't already.
The worst rated comedy special of 2019
almost feel bad for him but hes rich with a hot wife and expensive cars so fuck em lol
He could've stayed home and chilled. But no. He needs validation for his failing career as a standup
All I could think about is how his hairline is so much better than mine.
I want to watch this now. I was sure Schaub wouldn't be good at it, but I'll give it a look.
Here's a highlight
>hes rich
How come? What does he do that's bringing in dough?
sells out comedy clubs, has a podcast every week, merch. random shit with E! network or sports thing sometimes.
Pleb tier.
Hezzy > all.
>0:59
Heh, okay. I'm still gonna watch it.
so now that the dust has settled, were you surprised?
Does he really have that many fans?
kek
Theo Von is incredibly fucking unfunny
About that...
yikes
Thawts on Bryan Callen's wife?
his wifes mexican retard not asian
I'm actually very interested in hearing this. People constantly say that Schaub only got his comedy gig because of Joe Rogan, but he's never released any material until now so it was impossible to know for sure.
I definitely won't be impressed if he's just ripping off mid 2000s comedy movie jokes like he does in his podcasts.
He's a retard that's mad the entirety of Yea Forums hates him, including Yea Forums (because he's a low iq shit fighter), so he has his criminal friend spam these advertising posts in spite.
he is objectively a weenie
That's literally his wife, you retard Face it Brendan, your wife got "TATTOO'D" while you were on a cawmedy tour
Heres actually hes real special, this is the true cawmedy gold
what did she get "only god can judge me" or some stupid shit?
Fuuaaark
>this is supposed to be funny
joe rogan's comedy troupe is THE WORST. they all act like children.
this niggas brain is so fucked lol
His mum is British, it's called a trolley there. No excuse for the rest of it though.
stream to special where? i want to see the trainwreck.
their actual standup is appalling sadly
lol wtf nice. thanks man.
the laugh is clearly fake right? it's totally a laugh track
i didnt like delia at first, cus his daddys a movie producer or some shit, but hes actually funny af.
he makes the ten min podcast work and the the dynamic w/ callen, i just dont know why he doesn't double down on that persona for standup
>modern-day renaissance man
What does this even mean nowadays, when it's used in the same context as "former footballer, retired MMA fighter and current podcast host"?
"I think you'd be surprised" is the perfect name for his special, Joe needs to give him that talk again.
I think his hook ups were just the fact he hung around the comedy world because of Callen and Rogan but had the audience from the start from his TFATK and MMA career. I've heard rumors that other comedians like Ari didn't like this and even hold it against him because he didn't mature as a comedian like him and generations before him had to where they were performing for literally nobody middle of the night for little to no money which forced you to get good and be humble and so on.
This. He got totally schooled in funny when he did that podcast with that rapper Rif Raf
this seems alright, not big into standup tho.
you nerds need to stop talking shit about theo, sadly he is incredibly unfunny on his podcast with brendan
He's alright in conversation when he isn't trying too hard. His standup is boring.
It's a little sad actually
schaub
>bruce spring spring
I'm dying
The entire Joe Rogan circle of friends suck so Schaub being bad isn't even a surprise. Joe has a good podcast but I think his stand up is horrible and he's ridiculously pretentious over it. Joey Diaz isn't funny and is only popular now because of Joe constantly pimping him out. Bryan Callen is a nice guy but his stand up isn't funny. Schaub is a douche who just steals jokes from movies he watched. Ari Shafirr is a miserable douche who is the absence of funny. To make it even worse they all love to sit around and jerk each other off about how important they are and how hard comedy is.
Theo Von needs to get away from these goofs before he gets infected.
>him and generations before him
To be fair, right now most comics still have to. Schaub has been fast-tracked. He's one of those celebrities who enter stand-up and treat it like a "personal appearance" that Rogan has mocked in the past.
Joey Diaz is funny. I didn't think he would be because I expected him to just be in the same mode as his podcast appearances, but his stand-up is incredibly crafted, I couldn't believe the structures when I first heard him. He works harder than any of those guys on it. You can't tell what's written and what's improvised, and it all ties together, whatever length he's working at.
there's nothing worse than a "comedian" who just tells stories on stage
Rifle Raf is unironically hilarious, he had some pretty good sketches on YouTube.
Hes a pretty good actor too, hes doing great maintaining that persona for so many years
Tom Segura is alright, but I find him and his wife's podcast quite unfunny, they just rehash the same dorky jokes all the time and depend on le ebin inside jokes too much
My top 5? Herzog, Musk, Basquiat, Inoue and Schaub!
STay jealous fuck you.
Joey Diaz is likable if nothing else. I enjoy listening to his stories, even if they're lies.
His story about trying to rob a gay guy and getting karate kicked is hilarious.
This guy is Rogan jr, he pontificates and talks about his stand up with so much fucking reverence that when you finally end up giving it a chance it's just embarassingly shit.
The fact that he at some point decided that he's also an entertainment industry business guru visionary is even more stupid. He actually thinks that discovering that people would rather watch shit for free on youtube than subscribing to cable is a revolutionary revelation in fucking 2019.
They keep looping the same canned laughter

Joe acts so pretentious about his comedy, talking about how hard it is to craft a joke and make it perfect. Then you actually listen to his work and it's just a bunch of dick and fart jokes.
This, despite his dogshit appearances on podcasts he is the only member of the troupe that actually seems to have studied and fucking UNDERSTOOD what being a stand up is, the other hunk of retards are only spinning inside out without ever evolving.
Too bad he can't seem to deliver in filmed form b ecause whenever i've seen him live it's been great the netflix 30 minutes stuff he released recently doesn't do it justice.
Thawts?
I saw him at one of those comedy clubs in LA a few years ago. Laugh factory maybe. The ones with all the signatures outside. Anyway, he went on after Lex Luther from Smallville, this French guy they say is like Seinfeld, and before Dane Cook. Theo was awful. Was embarrassing how bad he was bombing. That being said, he seems 9000x funnier now when he is on a pod. He may of gotten better or he maybe one of those comedians who are funny, but not for standup. Like Rogan, Jim Norton.
Achaub6is easily top 5 modern comedian
Being a moor can only take one so far.
top right is a chad
