Yeah I feel it's a but harsh. Diarrhoea is a poor excuse for cancelling. I know of a comedian who literally came out of ICU to do his show and went back in after
It’s actually quite a nice gesture. Dean was clearly a disgruntled fan who missed one of his shows. What he posted wasn’t even that bad. He probably offered him a free ticket to this show on a front row seat to make that right!
Presumably Dean was a paid plant, it'd be quite risky to have the whole act rely on the whims of a fan who may or may not arrive. It doesn't need to be real to be a good bit.
@@final_animal There's a German TV/talk show "ZDF Magazin Royale" which has a spin-off show "Lass Dich Überwachen" (Let yourself be surveilled). They do the spin-off every so often, unannounced ofc, and through the tickets for Magazin Royale that the guests bought pick out some of them and then go through their entire social media history and make an entire show out of it (and then afterwards record the regular ZDF Magazin Royale, for which the guests had actually bought the tickets)
Others would label me with both while throwing even more labels ontop I would love to go to comedy shows I do not because i currently would not be able to handle this And most importantly I am in the process off growing a spine so i can go to these events Its a great joke even if i cannot take it atm due to my personal experience
A brilliant bit-- and the look on Dean's face as the realization is setting in is absolutely classic. You can practically see his heart sinking straight through the floor.
I remember when some comedian did this bit in a college set in ~2009, but she made the mistake of researching like half the audience, was doing bits on everyone, and it started to go pretty poorly as students realized, maybe for the first time, how easy it was to find them all on FB and how they came off in sm. Great lesson, but the set tanked obviously as none of the audience was in a laughing mood after that, they couldn't move on from being creeped out. Rhys looks like he's calibrated more cleverly on this routine, nobody is really surprised you can find them online, but the audience mood obviously stays a lot more positive if you only actually share one person's media explicitly.
@@Corsaka The original / older version of the saying is "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" which is a bit clearer saying imo, but also the meaning is a bit different
I can entirely believe that this man saw Dean's tweet and decided that this was gonna be his entire bit he even sent him a free ticket to get him to come to the show just so he can do this whole bit
What's funny is, I bet he had several other people in the audience, too, as backup in case Dean didn't show. I bet everyone who got a free ticket was shitting their pants.
Fucking perfect! He set that up beautifully by starting out with something random and going full circle back to it while telling multiple stories in between and while giving the false impression he didn't know the one "random" guy in the front row😂😂
A truly shocking revelation. Are you telling me people can see the things I post publicly online? I thought sharing comments and posts was completely private!
he set it up like he would tell you what it was before saying something also true, but nobody expected(and then reminding everyone at the end as well)
"What's that in the pudding? Tastes like proof." IMA STEAL THAT ONE LMAOOOO Wow, this is just fantastic work and hilarious as well! Love the movements and facial expressions! Really gives it more energy and meaning! Makes it funnier too!
Every time this comes up in my feed I watch and laugh out loud. With this Rhys tops Jimmy Carr in the audience participation category. Hope losing Mock of the week doesn't cut back on the Rhys clips. We need a laugh here in the states.
"With this Rhys tops Jimmy Carr in the audience participation category." Except that there was no audience participation at all in this video, unlike every one of Carr's shows.
This is even greater when you watch it back and realise everything he says about stalking people "is their Grandad still alive" etc is actually all about Dean. Plus the names he guesses initially arent too far off.
Ok on one hand this is kinda funny, on the other hand, if I got fucking doxxed for being miffed about missing a show I paid money for I would genuinely have a full on panick attack and never leave my house ever again. That shit would genuinely fuck me up so bad.
Or, if seats are assigned when the tickets are purchased, he looked up the names of the front row tickets to see if anyone had tweeted him in this manner before.
@@ethanp1348this is what I was thinking. Those in front has to be quite big fans, and there is a great probability that they will hit the jackpot and get someone who tweeted something about Rhys that he was able to make a very good bit out of.
I'm maybe confusing it with a different setup, but one was supposed to be a tinder date with the guy, but the date didn't show up and the comedian later revealed it was him all along
@@alexanderSydneyOz Weirdly this video is over one year old but it was pushed on me today, I wasnt going to comment until I saw lots of 1 days old replies. RU-vid decides what we will watch and what is going to be funny now. I'm sure Danny will agree.
You just told the world what school you went to, which will make it easier for them to find out more about you. I hope that wasn't the answer to one of your security questions.
Imagine a movie like this, but the comedian accidentally discovered a crime, and this is a set up and the punchline is the guy getting arrested after the comedian start to unravel the threads to the audience. I feel like there's probably something close already, best I can think of is Now You See Me
I was trying to write a new song once and tried to build one using random Facebook profiles, telling their life story. It was the most boring song I ever did.
What's clever about this, is that he says how someones photos can tell you a whole story backwards, while he literally does his whole bit backwards to make a point.
I refuse to believe this is real. Dean has to be the greatest actor of all time I was absolutely sold and I still am. It's too real. Also that was a hilarious setup with the three p's, I'm a fan of rhys now
You really should be watching Dave Gorman, the king of PowerPoint comedy (specifically his "life is goodish" episodes)...don't forget to come back here after and update which PowerPoint presentation is funniest :-)
@smeggeruk none. I don't get why Europeans find this type of comedy funny. Hold your mic like a man, tell real jokes, and don't make me feel like I am at a seminar. "This is the part you laugh" comedy isn't comedy.
@@betz999 I was being serious though...Dave Gorman actually is funny, it isn't the powerpoint presentation that is the comedy, it is more the crazy things he does for the sake of comedy...the presentation is more just to illustrate it all. Not saying it will be your thing, but worth checking out still :-)
There’s a thing called “over rehearsal” - you end up landing in the uncanny valley. Proud of the crowd regardless? Just imagine the size if you didn’t sound like you were built by the NSA.
People don't realise how easily accessible what they post online is. I once watched some videos of someone pretending to be a psychic to random people on the street. What he really did was looked on social media for people tagging themselves in the local area, then scoured through their profile for info to use. And these people were freaked out.
