Not a lot of comics are brave enough to talk about that band from the Humira commercial. But Adam Cayton-Holland is. From the Comedy Central album, "Semblance of Normalcy."
@@ericcarrington1791 hey thanks man! Once the world gets going again I'm sure I'll be out Pittsburgh way! I put all my show dates on my website and hype everything @CaytonHolland on Twitter and IG. Be well out there!
@@AdamCaytonHolland thank you. I did. I have just enlisted in this valued cause by subscribing to your channel. You have my loyalty and allegiance now. God save the King!
@@AdamCaytonHolland I notice the other weird HUMIRA commercial that has the girl with the painted on jeans is hiding her wrist tattoo from her parents with a turquoise bracelet.
I dont feel like such a turd mow. I #2 found this bc I wanted to know more about this "band". Such an Amazing conglomeration of Americana. Whites, Blacks, Asian Americans, males, females. A true "American Band". And a hot chick with lower G.I. issues. Great bit brother. It definitely wasnt a piece of shit.
DUDE. I am OBSESSED with this commercial too and I legit started writing a Behind the Music on Indie Night (that's the actual band name, it's on the marquis of that second venue they play). I even went into how 'Jenny' had a rare speech impediment that caused her to only sing "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" .
They play only one song that last 30 seconds AH.....AHHHH...AHH.....AHHHH.....AH (repeat several times for 30 seconds) and people actually paid for this shit (pun intended)
What kills me is the security guard(s) protecting the musicians on-stage. What the director forgot to show was the mosh pit forming out of frustration of the possible no-show loaf pinching lead singer. Love how these directors have all the band member’s races represented. One of the lamest spots on TV.
Lame?!? Not after this guy's summation. I laugh my ass off every time I see that commercial now. Mostly because I'm a music industry professional and thought some of the same things before see this stand up.
New subscriber here. I also was curious about that band. They seemed so diverse and cool. I so wanted to find their music to see if I would like it. The search continues.
The best part is the body language of the band, like none of them ever even held an instrument, let alone played one...guitar player handles that guitar like it's a shovel
Hey Adam I subscribed! Holy Humeria! That lead singer girl annoys me SO bad! The one day I’m like “She doesn’t even sing anything” and searched google, then RU-vid and found your video! How about the dating one! When the guy goes over and meets his girlfriends parents!
@@funkdoktor9099 I must be lucky. I've heard of the supposed resurgence of this commercial, but I haven't seen it in many months. Update: I'm seeing this damn commercial for the first time in months as I write this LOL.
She goes "Aah a aaah" the whole time. Basically the vocalization she makes right before she's gotta run to the throne. You see, it happened so much the band used it for motivation. Now its their biggest hit. Kind of an "inside joke" with the band..and a subtle f-u to chrohns. Now the band is laughing all the way to the bank. And taking the music world by storm.
@@justinthompson1381 aww yeah. Welcome, friend! Hope to see you at a show sometime. In the meantime I've got four albums and a comedy central half hour and a book and a tv show. And I'm incredibly humble and would never brag about any of that in RU-vid comments. Anyway, it's all over at adamcaytonholland.com
I was doing a little research on the fake rock band and found you here. Thanks for the info and laughs. Any thoughts on the commercial with the guy with no legs on a motorcycle who is rocking out to Culture Club's Karma Chameleon? How unbelievable is that? Not that the guy is half motorcycle, but that he would be getting into that song.
Sir, I don’t know if you’re aware of this; but society has implemented a crazy idea called “currency” in an effort to replace the outdated system of “trading” or “bartering” - no longer must you carry your objects of value to the village market to exchange for items that you need or want. It’s been working out and seems to be much more convenient. There is a web site devoted to this radical idea called “Patreon” and I think you should look into it since I just came from there looking for a way to send you money,
you, sir, are a mensch. I have a podcast I do with my friends called The Grawlix Saves the World. We have a patreon for that - grawlixcomedy. Not urging you to pay us there, but you might dig the pod! Thanks for the kind words!
I absolutely hate this commercial. It is so stupid! My husband is a touring musician and trust me... touring is nothing like this. Anyway, I googled to see if anyone else hated it as much as I do and found this. I couldn’t stop laughing!
Humira is a treatment for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s Disease), not Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome (IBS). UC and Crohn’s Disease are not laughing matters. Neither are they simply severe cases of diarrhea. Crohn’s Disease can be fatal because it can cause bowel blockages. UC can also be very serious because as the name implies it can cause internal bleeding leading to infection. Joking about disease that causes severe debilitations or death is the ultimate in poor taste. It makes the comedian look and sound like a jerk. Also, Humira is not something you can “go out and buy” over the counter at CVS or Walgreens. It is prescription only and is usually administered intravenously in a doctor’s office or clinic. And as the commercials state clearly, it is not a cure for UC or Crohn’s. It can help some patients go into remission or make remission periods longer, but the conditions will likely flare up again at some point. To laugh at others’ suffering is pathetic and cruel.
I have UC, which can also be fatal. I once lost about 13 kgs (33 pounds) in about 4 weeks, including a period where I lost 1kg a day for 4 days, due to high levels of internal bleeding. Prednisone brought it back under control, and let me break free from the reapers grip. However, I see the humour in this comedy routine insofar that the commercial is a really premise to promote this medication. Basically, someone with a moderate to severe case of Crohn's or UC won't be a member of a touring band - unless part of that band's routine involves them shitting themselves on stage. Sometimes making fun of things is the easiest way to talk about them.
It's not for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, he could at least get the disease right, it's right up front in the commercial. It's also not quite as funny when you have that disease (Crohns). But hate being the PC police, but correcting his mistake so his joke is at the very least correct. I wonder how funny it would be if he made fun of whatever disease you or someone close to you has...cancer? ...make fun of someone having to run off stage to throw up after chemo, that would be hysterical right?
Too bad he couldn't have joked about the forced diversity of the band, complete with that weird looking androgynous guitarist, but the audience in Portland would have canceled him immediately. Poor hipster millennial/Gen-Zers can't handle jokes.
I'm also a stand-up comedian and this is the funniest shit I've heard in forever literally. Even better than when I had my grandmother call a phone sex line ...twice
Just saw this commercial for the first time and had the same thoughts. Actually, I envisioned them making live poops a part of the show. Embrace your explosive diarrhea!
@@AdamCaytonHolland if you ever come to Buffalo NY PLEASE let me know. I forwarded your video to everyone. Please hit that other drug commercial with the guys jumping into the pool. This Humira band skit. You NAILED it !!!!!
