Pete was either already doing the punchline with the question, or setting it up for Conan. His response felt more like spelling out a subtle joke than a display of quick wit.
There's one guy I know of who makes the late night rounds (through panel shows), and is incredibly quick witted. It's the British comedian, Lee Mack. Nobody else.
As a Denverite, I have to kind of agree. But, in fairness, a lot of my out of town visitors claim the altitude makes them feel fatigued for a day or two. The "Illuminati" airport bit made me smile. They've got some odd, weirdly aggressive murals at DIA, and I won't even go into Blucifer, the devil horse sculpture.
that exact scene Pete holmes is talking about is my one and only issue with the irishman they really should have hired young actors for the younger versions of the characters
So the part where it was Jimmy Hoffa's son the one who knowingly drove him to be murdered didnt bother you ? Because that was the one that completely didnt made any sense for me😂
@@rosshristan1396 so you stay at a house where the guys who you know are the killers that the boss always hires when the boss wants to shop and disappear a body , and helps prep the house with plastic in the entrance or any area where it might be needed , and then you drive to pick up your dad and his friend and drive them back to the house, and leave,( knowing about the feud and the threats of the past few days) without telling your dad about it...yea no..that didnt fly in the story..that was completely rushed detail that in a mafia movie looks just lazy
I love how outwardly devoid of cynicism he is. Like I have no way of knowing how truly genuine this is but he does seem like he’s just so excited to be on a tv show and talking to these funny guys and telling jokes and he’s just having a blast, it’s infectious. Conan and Andy are at work, but Pete’s a kid in a candy store.
I agree with Pete. You can dislike things that aren’t for you, while still respecting the opinions of others who do like something. You don’t need to love everything. And you don’t need to make your own cake before you can criticize.
Ok that Denver story was spot on!! I was there last month and I’m remembering now that everyone mentioned the altitude in a condescending way. Pete you’re the best I love you. 😘
His De Niro fight scene was spot on! Lol. I've only recently discovered Pete. RU-vid suggested his street fighter interviews which apparently are now 8 yrs old.
In the conan podcast, Conan talked about seeing Pete in an empty theater. He didn't name the film back then and just said it was a very popular film. Now that we know it's Once upon a time, I bet it was Timothy Olyphant who had a lunch with conan after the movie.
I heard people joking about it, so I had to watch that scene. Youd think somebody that day would've told Scorcese everything in that scene looked awkward
That is exactly what should set off alarm bells. Sasha Baron Cohen has some acting range (The Spy). Sandler does not. Guaranteed crap. Looks like a cheezy Al Pacino impression.
I felt it when he made fun of De Niro’s fighting skills. The movie was great but it felt weird when he was kicking the guy who hit his daughter when his back was literally bent
Those kicks looked so weak. It really illustrated that DeNiro is an old man now. No disrespect, he's still awesome, but he's not a convincing middle-aged man anymore.
'neck beards'? wtf kind of broad brush are you using? wow. stereotype and insult everyone who likes a movie all at the same time. that's some next level douchebaggery.
The actors and directors of “The Irishman” were well aware of the actions and movements of the characters during filming as they discussed the times that they had to redo some scenes because the actors were not moving as spry as their screen ages should be. They talk/joke about it in the follow up short film “The Irishman In conversation” on Netflix
For real, I really like the "You make a cake!" character. How can you not be on his side? He's a dynamic, hardworking professional who stands up for himself. Plus you know he's beholden to Burger King's corporate power structure in a way that mitigates the company's employees' desires to express themselves through culinary art. He didn't go to chef school hoping to end up working for Burger King's development office. He's a complex working man of bitter compromise with a storied life.
That's interesting. I've lived in Colorado my whole life (30 years) and I have never once mentioned the altitude to someone else from out of state. Only times it has crossed my mind was while climbing a 14'er mountain, or in sports conversation about the ball flying further in thin air (like for field goals). My parents have mentioned it from time to time though. I wonder if it is an older generation thing here? And as for movies, I think most people have realized that a lot of movies that the critics give awards to not favorites to the public. Like La La Land. A lot of people I know didn't like it yet it got all kinds of awards. Everyone gets to have an opinion though.
He's totally right about people who live in high places. I've lived at sea level my entire life and the one time I visited SLC people there seemed surprised I wasn't having trouble in their thinner air. 😁
I'm from Utah and it's weird how they teach you that fact here so heavily. I went to Tampa in April and realized how bullshit it kind of is. Air is air, but in salt lake air is mostly actually smog.
While pretending to be mocked for not knowing how to make a cake, he inadvertently revealed that he actually has no idea. Breads have yeast in them: cakes don’t.
Pete has potential. But he has an awkardness a bit related to what I pressume is his inner need for crowd acceptance which doesn't make him the best yet. Or maybe is that he tries too hard sometimes to be funny, as opposed to a more relaxed approach without impulsivity and better timing. I dont know. Maybe is just my opinion but again, he has a great great potential inside I can perceive it already.
I feel sorry for andy Richter in a bad way. I know he wants more respect for what he has accomplished, but he is to smart to stop cashing them talk show paychecks. He deserves his own show. The andy Richter Show.
@Nripesh Dhungana I literally just watched it so it was fresh in mind mind... the moment he gets out of the building it's all over. He even HESITATES when kicking him and then hovers his foot tentatively over it. It's clear it's an old man fake-kicking someone. It was _really_ bad.
To be fair, the movie title is based on Sergio Leone movie titles (Once Upon a Time in the West, Once Upon a Time in America...), so it does help to specify beyond just “Once Upon a Time.”
