Cruises and Sharks with John Pinette 

He uses simple words, easy to follow, and flat-out kills. Timing, personality, voice -- this man had it all. RIP John!

Saw him live in Saskatoon, felt bad for my sister, she was front row centre, and almost died from lack of oxygen from laughing so hard. Once she started laughing, he zeroed in on her, and was relentless!

Binge watch John from time to time … “get out of the line”. I think this every time I’m in line. His clean humor is some of the best! RIP John.

I took my kids to see him in what turned out to be the last year of his life. And that man was even funnier in person, if that was possible. A rare gift we received with John and one we'll always remember fondly and miss forever.

God I miss John! We could use some of his comedy now.

Literally one of the best comedians that has ever existed.

I’ve been looking for the shark clip for years. Finally found it -so funny. He truly was one of the worlds funniest guys

Little did he know, Sharknado would be a thing someday! RIP John, you were an awesome comedian!

Loved this man. Thanks for all the laughs John. Miss you. Rest in peace.

The getting attacked by the shark gestures were hilarious.

I was working in a car dealership when he got famous. Whenever the office asked when a car would be done the standard response was 4 hour! LOL

SOOOOOOO FUNNY! And refreshing proof that it can be done without every other word being an F-bomb!

Flawless execution and it couldn't be easy for the big man, I'm glad the audiences realized and appreciated him, he was truly a gifted entertainer.

Wow! Some Pinette material I had never seen before! Excellent! He only got better, and left us hungry for more!

Man, how i miss this guy. Such a wonderful comedic talent he was.

He was without a doubt the funniest ever. I miss him.

Watch John every chance I get His humour has gotten me through some hard times Thank you much big man, you will not be forgotten.

One of, if not my favorite comedians ever. He was great!

A master at self depricating humor. Miss him.

One of the G O A T, miss him so much

He was one of the best. So sad he died back in 2014, just barely after he turned 50. He had such a great comedy routine.

So glad my brother and I saw him in person, Palace Casino, Biloxi, MS. He was excellent! Miss his comedy.

Simply brilliant………. The World misses you………. Bravo mon capitaine

John performed at our grocery store company convention. Talk about performing in front of the perfect crowd. 1000 foodies in the house.

I used to watch an evening at the improv all the time in the early to mid 90's and I remember this set by Pinette. Thank you for the upload

He was such a funny guy. He is missed.

He was born to make people laugh! What a talent!

Saw John perform the role of Edna in the Broadway musical "Hairspray". He was wonderful! and then I was privileged to be part of a Q&A session he did for our group after the performance (when he surely would've preferred to shower and go home?). What a gentle, funny, wonderful man. RIP John

What a genius of comedy! Carry on through with your humor forever beyond!!

That man was such a blessing to this world. 👍💕💕💕👏👏👏

If science could decipher the mind of a comic, in John they would discover a plethora of genius.

John Pinette was about as good as it got. That man was HILARIOUS!!

He’s was a funny guy. I wished I’d been to see him. Damn! RIP big man.

I wish I could have seen him in person before he passed. Very funny man!! Gone too soon. ☮️💜

One of my favourites ! Miss him so much! Thanks for sharing this !

The Beach? No. I don't want to go. I wanna stay home and clean my room! LOL~~

Class Act! Miss Him...

Gone too soon. A true comic genius. He always played off of his size, and was great at it but he would’ve been hilarious no matter what.

I was heartbroken when I learned that John passed away. So sad!

Holy crap the MC is Jameson Parker from Simon & Simon! RIP John Pinette he was such a funny man and he sadly died much too young.

He was truly THE BEST! Clean comedy at its best!!!!! Miss this guy so much!!!

Great funny guy with a sharp mind. Gone too soon but not forgotten...

May his legacy of laughs live on forever! Rest in peace, John Pinette

We lost you far too soon John. You were terrific!

Jaws 4, Gorbachev and Safeway shows just how old this really is!

Two words: Sharknado! 😂

He is just too funny 😂

Just brilliant !

HE WAS VERY HAPPY AND I APPRECIATE HIM.😅

We LOVE YA John ! Entertaining God Now, Making everyone laugh again.

I never got to see him. But I really wish I had.

Was at a buffet today for lunch and figured I'd come here.

Holy Mackerel! That was funny. 😂😂😂

What a treat! I’ve never seen this performance either! A 🌟 gone too soon.

I love this guy. Wish I got to see him live

RIP he was SO funny. Miss him.

I once worked on a cruise ship at the buffet. Let me tell you, John Pinette would not necessarily have stood out of the crowd. Seen many people of similar size.

This better be great bread!!!

HE WAS THE GOAT. BEST EVER. 😅

OMG, hadn't seen this one yet...so dang funny.

I miss him.

I miss him so much 😭 he was so funny

The man was a Gem !

All you can eat buffet not mean all day! You been here four hour!

My wife and I saw him do this bit and we laughed so hard she peed herself!!! The shark jerking took her over the top !!!

The audio for some reason was very low. Thinking it was equipment failure on my end, I was getting ready to throw my pc out the window, until I pulled up his youtube "Still Hungry" video. His food jokes came roaring through my speakers..All is right in the world, again.

He was a funny funny man🤣🤣🤣

He was great. Still miss him

For those interested, the host is actor Jameson Parker, known for the TV series Simon and Simon, among other things.

That is what's called "KILLING IT!"

He was the closest thing to John Candy..... RIP Mr. Pinette.

I had that experience. Back in 1994 I helped a former client of mine get her sister out of the former Soviet Union. We picked her up at JFK and drove back to Brooklyn. Tanya stopped in a Key Food and we took her sister in there with us. Within 30 seconds she burst into tears. She couldn't believe this level of food was available for everyone. She was also amazed at how many non-whites were shopping. Apparently the Soviets had convinced their people that all of America still had Jim Crow level segregation

Watched it again....totally hysterical

This was so funny. Thanks for posting.

Nailed. It🤣🤣🤣🤣

I loved this guy RIP

John was great! Before the internet I didn’t see him very often. RU-vid is good for this great stuff! Meanwhile, that’s the difference between the free market where bread waits for people, and socialism where people wait for bread. Brilliant observational comedy.

Just amazing no matter what he does to funny from this early days first time I see this ty to the rest of his career very gifted creative talented and always some thing different is why he was so like and so big in comedy

Truly funny man! Love him!

2:05... "Can you imagine if a Russian citizen walked into one of our supermarkets?"... True story - I'm now retired from a Sheriff's department in a county of about 900,000 population. In the late 1980s, perestroika was in full bloom. Our State Department was encouraging professional exchange between similar government agencies in Russia. A deputy who worked for me had family in Russia, and actually had a doctorate in some Russian discipline. He arranged an exchange between our department and a law enforcement agency in Russia. When their officers (All command staff, mind you.) came to the U.S. we showed them our criminal justice system along with as much of our culture as we had time for. The three areas that amazed them most were Disneyland, the sponsor's homes, and the supermarkets. They thought that the average working person in the U.S. lives in a castle. And anytime one of the sponsors' family members went to the store, they wanted to go with them and just look at all of the food. One of them commented that there was more cheese in one of our supermarkets than there was in their entire home city (A city of two or three hundred thousand as I recall.) On their last day before going back to Russia we offered to take them to whatever venue they wanted to see... They chose a supermarket.

Miss you always

Delivery with a capital D ....we miss you dearly John.

That atmosphere screams 1991.

I had tears from laughing.

You can see how he wove this early stuff into his more well known work

Brilliant comedian. So funny.

John was a very funny comedian. I loved that he didn't use too many curse words in his performance. On a side note: in Jaws 4 - why would the shark seek revenge? Do the have a bulletin board where the sharks that get killed are listed with the name of their killer? Then one shark gets it in his head to do something about it? 😂😂😂

JP, you were awesome!

A shark would look at him and think he was at an all you can eat buffet

You go NOWWWW!!!

Was a great comedian.

"HE'S NOT FAT!!!... he's...fluuuuffffy."😌

I had an idea once, and not since

AWESOME GOOD COMEDIAN. VERY FUNNY PERSON. AWESOME GOOD INDEED..😂

it's too bad he didn't live long enough to see the Sharknado movies. ;-)

John was awesome!

VERY GOOD INDEED AWESOME NICE WORK. Sadly missed nowadays 😪

So good

Gotta love the added laugh track.

HE IS VERY GOOD INDEED AWESOME FUNNY PERSON THANK GOODNESS FOR HIM. 😅
