@@Ragnarok6664 I mean, the reason they're more restricted is because quite a number of kids didn't make it out of the 80s. We only hear from the ones that did and are like "How am I alive growing up like that"
For real! I have no idea how we survived the playscapes of our day and even the everyday travel (AKA, riding in the back of pick up trucks with uncles who were either stoned or drunk!). I have to think we had some supernatural Grace on us because statistically, a lot more of us should have died by virtue of how unsafe and ignorant the adults in charge were, lol I do miss merry go rounds and teeter totters still though!!! 😆 There is a female comedian who talks about how those born by 1975-80? were some of the most "un-parented" kids ever... Right before helicopter moms arrived on the scene. 😋 I won't rag on protective parents at all, as l agree there was a butt-ton of neglect in the gen X households, but l do think things went way overboard in compensation to the point kids are even called "free range" when they are simply allowed to ride a bike in their neighborhood unsupervised. Not sure if we will ever reach a balance or recapture the kind of freedom that l grew up with, exploring the woods with cousins and friends and staying out till' street lights came on, but it was a blast listening to this set and being taken back in time for a bit. So good! 😊
These have to be based on real life experiences because my childhood was in the 80's and can relate to everything except the snow. I am from Los Angeles.
I was sitting in my car outside the dollar store and that part came on and I was cracking up so hard u had a parking lot if people looking at me like I'm nuts....
Wow I’m a millennial I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s the playground bit brought back a ton of nostalgia for me, good times, especially the under dog 😂😂😂😂
@@blitheringrando1410 Our goal was to make people go flying off. We tried all sorts of different positions and holds to hang on. Looked like Cirque De Soleil performers doing pretzel bends around the bars! I still love that feeling in the pit of my stomach!
He really had me going with the handsome story 🤣🤣 It reminded me of a time a friend asked me to record his phone ringtone. In the county he is from, his lastname literally means ‘Handsome Man’. So every time his phone went, everyone could hear: ,, Your phone is ringing Mr. Handsome, please pick up !! The looks on other people’s faces was priceless ( note: he was everything but Handsome) 🤪🤣🤣
@@maryksnyder1155During the pandemic and homeschooling, I realized that teachers deserve way higher pay and a sainthood title for their patience and dedication.
I got a sea urchin nailed to the side of my head.....that hurt. Ever see a 10 year old tan blond kid with a big purple urchin stuck to his head with blood running down his bed and side.........judging from the other it's hilarious.
We caught two of Heath's shows on a recent NCL cruise (his clean show and his adult show) and they were both thoroughly enjoyable. And Heath is a really nice guy off stage. Try to catch one of his shows if you can!
Even though i was born in 2006 I relate to all the things he was talking about for the things you would do for fun as a kid and I now realize that im suprised im still alive from everything i would do as a little kid.
Yesss Ms.Kay.. I grew up mostly in the 80s and done things that should have killed me lol BUT my children do know how to scream down a snow hill in a metal trash can lid!!!
The best dry bar I have watched to date - amazing comedian- I feel like I have been lifted up as well as made to laugh-thank you- I am a child of the 80s too, we managed to survive
When I was in elementary school, we actually did do the emperors new clothes and I was the moron who got the part of the emperor. I could totally relate to what he was saying.
Snowballs, winter's Dodgeball 😂😂 Ah, the Merry go round ❤ Where all the kids got on and the biggest kids spun it till everyone was hanging on for life with legs flinging out 😜😜😜 🎶Memories 🎶
Omg yes lol my kids would not survive the things I did as a kid! But when my parents and my brothers and I talk about us being kids….my kids and my brothers kids are like “y’all were awesome what happened?” Lmao
Oh my word. "Hind sight, I should have put them in the front" laughing so hard I cried and gasped for air. Keeps me laughing each time I think back over it.
🤣😂 Love this guys humor and delivery! And so true about the playground! My sister launched me off that merry go round more than once, when I didn’t have a good grip on it. Plus, remember the sky high, baking hot metal slide that we slid down so fast, that we flew off the end and landed in that cracked, dried dried indentation of dirt at the bottom. Bonus-full of muddy water when it rained!
Plus, remember making it get slipperier by polishing it with wax paper before you went down. And since girls didn't wear slacks in the 50's & 60's you'd end up with hot metal marks on the back of your legs. But you went FAST! Ah, those were the best.
Thank you for the blast from the past!! My friends and I used to swing up and over the top bar and go crazy on the merry-go-round, monkey bars! We were invincible! Great stuff, tyou!
This was a FANTASTIC set! 😅😂🤣 And speaking as an 80's kid (merry go rounds and teeter totters were both excellent at launching small children) I laughed so hard at the playground/game descriptions (for those of us who were raised before everything was Nerfed to death, lol). Although- l gotta say, the butt-up game was a new one for me. 😅 Such a great show! Loved the nostalgia and the pace and energy of it. Well done amd can't wait to check out more of your material! 💓
@@canditamcguckian1031 yesss! Lol. I once slid down one right after a rain too and the bottom of the slide was concrete!! So l biffed it at super speed and skinned my knees up pretty badly. 🤣😭
@@danielleaugustine2241 yikes 😬! We went through some fun times back then. Only thing We had to watch out for was white vans that look like they might kidnap us, don’t talk to strangers and don’t get in a car with strangers. And be home before the street light comes on. Lol
I'm about his age. When I was young I heard comedians say kids aren't tough anymore - unlike the 60s/70s. Now comedians are saying kids aren't tough anymore- unlike the 80s/90s.
Dude saved the call-back for the last joke! That was golden, bro! My pops was a stand up comic in L.A. from 1959 through 1967. Not a great one, but a smart one. He passed in '06. He would have really dug your set.
💯True story- Catholic grade school in 4-8th grade- our recess was on parking lots- the girls held hands forming a straight line & the boys tried to run through us grabbing our butts!!! Seriously- this was our fun?!! No wonder Catholic girls were so permiscuous...
I've seen his special before, but it was so good, I just had to watch it again! He is so funny..so enthusiastic.. such a good story-teller.. so full of energy! I could watch him for hours! So darn funny!! 🤣👍
Just started watching this one... Reminds of the time my mom brought me a puppy that she saved. I told her I'd take him because she really couldn't keep him. She told me he was soooo sweet and I should name him Loverboy. I said, "No way am I standing outside hollering for Loverboy!"
Hellllllllz yea! Bloody knuckles, stone wall, street hockey, dodgeball, tackle football, wrestling in the backyard, tree climbing, kickball..childhood was great ❤️
Wonderful communication by Heath. Made me think about growing up in the 60s like I did....and those of us that made it through made it much easier for the kids of the 80s. 👍😁
1:43 so funny 🤣 😆 😂 5:19 he's right about wennies today. I am from 1975 and I played with boys even though I am a girl. 12:00 silk bikini underwear had me rolling. 21:56 Great, haven't laughed this much in a long time. The best.👍
I grew up in the 70's. Monkey bars, Swings, squirrel cage, and many others. When my daughter was in the fifth grade, 2000's the school took every thing off the yard. Claimed that the insurance company would not allow those dangerous instruments (not toys) and people wonder why kids are getting fat.
We played smear the "person" in Jr High but we did not use a football, it was my favorite game during lunch and breaks and I was good at it! At my school, we all had nicknames from the game. I was Tank and sometimes diesel. I had not thought about that in years.
At my dog's ophthalmologist office, they called you in not by the master's name but by the dog's. The first time the assistant came out and called 'Handsome!', I stood up and smiled while he scowled as if I had tricked him into touching it. On subsequent visits, he came out, pointed to us and motioned for us to follow. Naughty dog.
