Supporting Actor Spotlights - Josh 'The Ponceman' Perry 

I came to RU-vid tonight with the question “What’s the Retarded Policeman doing now?” And I am not disappointed with what I found. This was amazing. -Thanks for making it.

Just so sad that so much of his work has been removed because of the nature of what he and his brother joke about I really hope there is a bright future for him as an actor I would love to see more of him. I know this channel has not been active for a good while but I hope you see this because you did a wonderful job with this video.

This dude is literally my all time favorite actor. Ponceman is the man.

This is really great. I grew up watching Retarded Policeman so Ponce holds a special place in my heart, really cool to learn his story and hear the perspectives of his family members

the views of this video are the proof that youtube algorithm is biased, this is a really well-done work and Josh is a very lovely and talented person and yet this video is invisible.

This should have millions of views.

Fell into a nostalgic rabbit hole and stumbled across this masterpiece!!! I hope the Perry family is doing well! They gave me millions of laughs!

I've been waiting for this episode to be re-released. I love this one so much. Ponceman, if you're reading this, you are THE BEST!!!!

The good old days of RU-vid. Sure miss them.

Haven’t seen the Ponceman in a long ass time... Glad to see this awesome human being is still doing good

Josh and his entire family are amazing people. Thank you for this video and thank you to Josh and his family.

This man wakes up every morning with somethings he's passionate about and he has it in him to chase it ... Not all of us have that many people go there entire lives without a dream that they believe is worth fighting for ... I respect Josh Perry not just because of the obvious obstacles he's had to overcome but because he saw exactly what he wanted to do and he went for it and I adore his family for encouraging him

Ponce is awesome. He has such a great sense of humor.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Josh's work in Retarded Policeman since they were new and I was eagerly anticipating the release of subsequent episodes... I went looking for a particular episode earlier tonight and was shocked & upset to see that the originals were taken down. Once I found out WHY I became disgusted & incensed at the mediocre mind responsible. However, experiencing this beautiful portrait of how one unique life can touch so many simply by being authentic, genuine, and present, moment by moment, is wonderful.

incredible piece. the fact this doesnt have millions of views says alot... amazing story im so glad i stumbled on this video

Yeah I've been looking for this. This guy is the man, he loves acting...

This is probably the most wholesome RU-vid video I’ve watched in a LONG time. Thank you for this ❤

Starring in a film beside Cloris Leachman is a big accomplishment. Now Josh can hold onto that accolade and ask all the people who joked him, “Just did a film starring Cloris Leachman. What have you bitches done with your life?” Good job Josh. Keep those acting chops charp my man

Almost 20k.. not a million but this is golden and only hasn’t blown up because you have had to be born in the mid 90s to have nostalgia about this guy. Still a good video and hope it blows up!

The world is a better place because of how you guys raised Josh .

"Don't let your limitations define you" Words to live by.

I absolutely love his parents! He's an amazing man as well.

Thanks for posting this video. Josh is amazing dude with an amazing family.

I wish I was rich so I could help with your vision. Thank you for thinking of this Supporting Actor Spotlight. And this episode, I didn't really want to see. I thought it would be sad and yet I did cry but not because of Josh but because of his brother. He doesn't want anyone to limit his brother. I cried because Scott's battle is a big fight. A lot of people give pity instead of opportunities.

I have a moderately autistic daughter that I have raised to rise above and not use her disability as an excuse. We used terms like "retarded" when she was growing up, and made a joke out of it. It paid off when we were shopping! Some guy yelled "she's retarded", she simply looked at him and told him that HE was the one that was retarded! I also have a nephew with "Assburger" syndrome that my sister had coddled all his life I showed him the Retardid Policeman Assburger video, it showed him that he is more capable than he thought he was! THANK YOU Josh! I once heard a comedian say that it's the people closest to the the person with a disability that gets offended, not the one with the disability.

I wish they bring him back he's so funny. love you Josh ❤

josh perry... lets just say i know you probably wont read this but you inspired me. you honestly dont care if people call you a retard and instead you take it as a compliment... and honestly how people can say you 2 arent brothers is starting to take the piss mate. but as i said you inspired me to never give up with what i want to do as i have epilepsy and im going to be a painter and decorator.

This was so amazing and such a great blast from the past! I loved Retarded Policeman back in the day. I'll definitely check out some of The Ponceman's other work now!

Nah I just figured out you’re the guy who does the impressions and voices I can make!? I was looking at your videos thinking “man I’m sure I know this Brandon guy but WHERE?!” dang I just found out I am late to the party (as usual) but my god man me and my cousin have randomly watched the 1-4 parts of impressions and voices videos throughout our lives in 15 or so years!! We’re in our late 20’s now but when we were once 10 & 12 giggling our așșes off watching your videos. Glad to know where you are now in life. You’re a legend!!! 😁🙌🩵 Thank you for the years of laughter on and off throughout our lives. Oh and of course thank you for this awesome channel of content that I’ve only just discovered today 😅 I’m so so late, better late than never! Amiriiiight!?? 😭🥲

21:44 Is the perfect representation of our society, other people being insulted when it doesn't concern them.

Thanks for taking the time to interview him! He deserves the spotlight.

Man something about this guy. He's my hero. Don't give a shit about acting or actors. Hard to explain. Just like the guy.

If I saw that he was in a movie , I would make it a point to go see it . He has the charisma that people want to see.

You are so talented man. I love everything you produce. Keep up the great work please.

He's definitely not supid. I presented at an academic conference on the etymology of some words that would get this comment reported. My basic argument was similar to his. I'll let the reader judge as to whether that says more about me, him, or the professors who selected my presentation.

I love that moment at 9:39 where Josh's mom is using a glue gun to make a costume, while answering questions at the same time!

Easily my favourite episode, so glad it's back

Can’t believe I’m just now finding Ponce. Best thing I’ve seen in a very long time.

Josh’s brother looks like a healthy Bam Margera

I was thinking about this guy this morning which led me here! Glad he's doing well.

If Josh is still looking for a serious project, he would be perfect at playing the main character in either a stage or independent adaptation of "A Confederacy of Dunces".

Great and engaging documentary on The Ponceman; thank you for enlightenment us with his wisdom of being oneself or demonstrated one's True Face.

bless the ponceman and his awesome familiy, and you for making this documentary

I wish I could meet him in person!

I wondered what happened to Ponceman. Always loved his content. I remember watching him back when RU-vid was still young, and laughing my ass off. He's an incredibly talented and funny man.

*This guy is the best!!*

Thank you for the documentary. This was so we’ll done.

I love this man he's so funny and got a real talent

Not all heroes wear capes! Josh!! ✌🏻🤟🏻

We live in a time where if you sell an inaccurate description of who you are, people will believe that description. Thank you Social Media for making it possible to sell the lie. Josh is a beautiful human being inside and outside and he's not selling a lie. Also, "He Likes Eggs!"

He is hilarious!! I love his work, I laugh my ass off. This video is great. Glad you made it. Id love to see him do something now, if he’s still acting.

When Scott said about how he’s smart enough to know he’s not smart enough really got me. My brother is mentally challenged due to autism and a stroke at birth and I see him deal with the same frustration and it kills me inside

They're cool. I think the Ponce is really cool and I think they'd be great friends. Some people can actually victimize people with their overbearing butt-hurtedness. Its the same situation with the gay community taking labels that were meant to hurt and destroy people. These guys are cool and I would like to meet them.

This is a really amazing documentary, and deserves more views.

Beautiful film thank you

I literally last week learned about "Retarded Policeman" from TikTok, and MAN, so glad I found this here on youtube, thnx for posting it, and Thnx to Josh, dude is a HERO imo, I love all his work, seriously, I've never laughed so hard, hope he is doin well!!!...

Great video.!! What a cool family of artist.. and how Ponce has such a cool brother to share acting with. Well done.

He defined the golden era of RU-vid.

I see you active on twitter so thats good but hope to see more of these in the future, keep checking to see lol

I love the Ponceman and his brother's brand of humour. They turn a word that so many P.C. hypocrits don't like into a badge of honour.

Seriously, the people who got so offended FOR Ponce, and claimed that he "Didn't know what was going on", are the most offensive people, because THEY are they ones who are looking down on Ponce and not treating him equally and underestimating him.

S/o to josh always made me laugh when he was doing his Police man skits they were funny as hell honestly and apart of my childhood.

You are a champion Ponce. I loved you in Shameless. I'm not a normie. I have Autism. You are inspiring. I loved your Assburgers episode of the R word Policeman. I laugh every time. You are a champ

Absolutely love everything about this! ❤️

I like joshs moms idea of putting the pictures up on the wall

❤ fucking amazing family and I'm beyond excited that Josh is still doing good

At 7:15 in the background is an Erickson Electronics Quiz Master. The Perrys were bible quizzers. How cool

Josh deserves a lead role. After all, he is an excellent actor!

He is loved and he loves his family ❤

This is an interesting discussion to me because I grew up physically disabled but only got diagnosed autistic in my 30s, so I'm really comfortable using the term cripple. I grew up using it with my crippled mates. I LIKE that it makes people uncomfortable, that makes it feel powerful. But I'd say I definitely have an internal discomfort with the word retard I think precisely because it's not a word I feel I'm "allowed" to say even though it sometimes gets used for people like me too. But when the brothers talk about assholes being assholes, it doesn't matter what term they use, it reminds me of the meme that's like "I beg you, please just call me a slur". I feel that way about how "acoustic" gets used online. Omg just say retarded, just say you think someone seems retarded because you're trying to be mean. Retard was the polite word, it replaced things like imbecile and idiot. But it became a slur simply because people are cunts about disabled people. The attitude towards us in society is the problem and the words for us are going to keep becoming insults then super taboo slurs because no one is bothering to fix the root of the problem. Every kind euphemism will become yet another insult if society keeps just fucking hating disabled people. One time I got told by someone not to refer to MYSELF as disabled and had the audacity to try to correct me and tell me "actually, it's differently abled". Like even if the consensus amongst the community wasn't that disabled was the preferred term, how can you tell ME how to talk about MYSELF. And I think it belies a lack of familiarity with disability. People are more touchy around things they're uncomfortable with and I think that can manifest in how normies try to police our language. They think we need protecting, even from our own vocabulary.

fantastic fantastic fantastic I truly think he is a fantastic actor and should be in more things

"He's smart enough to know when he's not smart enough". That's about as smart as anyone can get.

I miss this channel.

I'm getting this in my recommendations again, I can only assume this means new content

Yes!!! Thank you, this made my day!!! Ponceman you are my hero!

It's so true regarding words and their meanings. Retarded was the socially acceptable term for a while. Then special needs. Then whatever else. People think if they can just get the term right people won't ever be able to use it to cause emotional pain. Never going to happen. It's like Josh said, its the intentions more than the word.

I can't thumbs up this video enough. Good one!

This was very cool to watch. Great family.

Shoutout Josh!!! A fellow louisianaian from good ol lafayette!!!

oh my fing god ive been waiting for this for years. thank you always wondered what happened to ponceman

As a certified DSP agent this really hits home I really miss my clients. Specially my friend Simon he was my favorite client he would always tell me he loved me and I'd always say it back. Sadly the company shut down so I'll never get to see Simon again.

Wish he could make more of these maybe one where it talks about the career of Danny trejo because I know he’s in a lot of movies not sure if a character actor or not but it feels like he is.

Absolutely loved this documentary!

17:15 LOL "Come on, I'm just tryin to do my job"

I hope to see more of these videos in the future.

Very well done! You sir, are underrated.

I love you, Brandon!

You are one hell of a mini doc creator. More please 😁

I love this Dude!!! I seen him years ago when he waa doing the Retarded Cop. Ponceman for sure should be in more movies. He is freaking hilarious!!!! He has such a good attitude!! Ponceman.... you are BAD-ASS!!! KEEP MAKING US SMILE AND LAUGH!!!

This dude is THE Dude! ✌🏼😊👍🏼 I love 'im! 😊

I've always loved Ponce. He even had some famous people on his videos. Felicia Day and Will Wheaten were great.

I loved his work in the film Coffee Town.

Damn. you were in south park 🤦‍♂️ I'm jealous.

It's 2023 and I just learned about Ponce yesterday.

Whoohoo, my favourite episode is back!

Are John Goodman and Steve Buscemi off the table? they're pretty well-known, but neither have won an oscar.

“And your actually my parents … if anyone was wondering” He actually was telling the truth 😮 omg

Awesome to see the people behind the Ponceman. People wonder if he has downs because he is such a good actor they really can't tell. Karen's and haters need to ruin everything they are not the central focus of, or can't understand.

Josh is awesome I laughed my äss off when he does the police I hope he keeps up the good work.

One of my favorite episodes ^.^ Josh is the best.
