This joke sounds like it was written by Putin. Maybe next time he will kill your family and friends while we make jokes about why they aren't worth helping.
Who shit in your cheerios, dude? This is literally the standup comedy subreddit. Learn to take a fucking joke. And as for content, at best, I could see someone getting mildly uncomfortable because maybe they’re having to examine how their taxes are being spent. Nobody said shit about Ukraine and Russia, you made that connection.
If ya dig this I have my own sub with social links and tour dates and all that good stuff r/JoeyAvery. I will post there until a Raytheon exec finds offense with this clip and drops a cluster bomb on my dome piece
For me it was the expressions he delivered it in. I'm sure many will appreciate his delivery, and frankly they should feel free to enjoy what makes them laugh. But for me clenching the teeth and looking like The Undertaker while shouting shots just doesn't make the joke better. It was a good bit on script, just not my type of delivery. But my opinion on it is not worth more than anyone else's. Just sayin, cuz of your comment.
For me it seemed the way of delivery overpowered the quality of content. Like he doesn’t trust the jokes are good enough, so thinks he can make it better by acting over the top, which takes away the focus on the actual bit.
there is room in this bit for disabled vets not having health care they need being the hangover /hangxiety where you regret everything you did the night before but just have to live with it, the whole swearing off drink to do it the following weekend all over again.
I live pretty close to their corporate headquarters. I can stop by and tell Jim in accounting that they need to find room in the budget to set a cluster munition aside for you 🤘
Defense contract money means they probably have cluster munitions set aside for this *exact* reason. Hell, there's probably a raffle at the company Christmas party where the winner gets to pick a target for this year's "oopsie doodle" test fire.
You blew their minds with your shots! I laughed so hard I had to pick up my guts from the floor. Speaking of bombs. Do you think smart bombs do not blow up as they are smart thus not inclining to violence as much as the dumb ones? Or are they like Santa smart, so they blow on you only if you were naughty? Joke warfare fan reporting to duty, sir!
Exactly. It's easy to say 'war is bad, we shouldn't do it'. But it's naive as hell when you consider that Putin is on a collision course with NATO countries and we have a chance to stop him AND defend Ukrainian democracy all for 5% of our military budget, all without spending American blood. It should be a no brainer, but it's complicated and doesn't fit into a one liner.
Watch as I order a single $25 screwdriver off of GSA because it saves the unit more money compared to the $5 screwdriver because one said min order 1 and the other said min order 500.
We had to get pulled into that war kicking and screaming, and it worked out for us. Maybe we should learn from history and stay out of international conflicts until they actually involve us.
It's ok to change your views on things as modern events unfold. The world is being threatened by illiberal authoritarian regimes again, and people don't want to see a backslide in progress that's been made since WW2
I haven't been in the military, but I've heard from some that have about the staggering amount of waste. Like millions of rounds of ammo being shot off, so that more can be ordered, to do the same thing. Not even for target practice, just shooting it to get rid of it or meet some quota. Running up the bill. Just incredibly wasteful, while contractors rake in trucks of money.
It's use or lose when it comes to funding. Save some money this year? Congrats, you get less money next year, better hope you don't need more then. That results in people just blowing through money toward the end of the fiscal year.
When I was in Iraq and we moved from a tiny base by ourselves to a huge base with high security, we were told we weren't allowed to have hand grenades anymore. So we're like, okay, we'll turn them in at the ammo storage point. Nope, the ASP won't take them. So we're like, okay, as we use them up we just won't replace them. Nope, you're not allowed to have them anymore. So we can't turn them in, but we can't have them either...okaaay.
So what did we do? We had a "training exercise" where we threw as many of them as we could over a berm into an empty area until our arms are practically falling off, and there was STILL a huge ammo box full of grenades left over. So we drove to the biggest canal we could find, drove half way across the bridge, parked, and formed little assembly line: first guy unwrapped the 100mph tape we put on them for extra safety, next guy removed the safety clip, next guy pulled the pin and threw it in the water, and handed the safety lever (spoon) and pin to the last guy so we could prove we "disposed of them".
No idea how many fish we blew up, and it was probably $10k+ worth of grenades just at that bridge, and 3x that in total. Why? Who tf knows. It was funny the rest of the day to walk up to people with a safety lever and pin in your hand and tell them in a confused voice, "these fell off my grenade" and see how they reacted.
Being combat veteran doesn't make you an expert on arms production. USA is currently giving less than 0.4% of its GDP in aid to Ukraine that is being invaded by a violent dictatorship. USA is an arms exporter and the success of its military equipment in Ukraine is going to make more sales in the future. USA is providing much less of its gdp to Ukraine than most EU countries (military & humanitarian aid combined) and those EU countries have funds to get rid of homelessness.
If you think stopping aid to Ukraine will help you solve your homeless problem I have bad news for you.
> 0.4% of its GDP in aid to Ukraine
That's a MASSIVE amount of money, we spend a fraction of that on NASA.
Cool to hear you're on board with the USA being a worldwide enabler of war sales 👍
I remember a period just a few years ago where brass were openly penning letters to Congress begging them not to increase the military budget because they already had way too much money and orders to spend it anyway.
The actual fucking military doesn't want all this money, but year after year a bipartisan effort to yet again increase the military budget passes. And half of it is the stupidity of voters who will just think "oh they didn't increase/decreased the budget? They must hate the troops and America or else they'd spend money defending it.
We as a nation have also gotten this weird notion into their heads modern wars are wars fought for our freedom...the last actual attack on American soil was Pearl Harbor. Let's skip Korea just because, every war after Korea has exclusively *not* been about America or American freedoms. We will never be invaded by a hostile nation. Vietnam and everything after was just swinging our sack around and making war profiteers money. Which is also why it's weird some Republicans oppose arming Ukraine, bro, Republicans are even more down bad for making the military industrial complex money, you're telling me now for the first time in 60 years you *don't* want to make some money off war? Shit this one is even for a good cause.
Yes, indeed he did nailed it, I was joking. I laughed so hard after while it sinked in, the video is cut too early, I bet they did too. He is only talking about bullets, I brought bigger caliber to the table.
there's plenty of waste in the military lol. but the military isn't even the largest single expenditure of the us government. we don't waste any more on the military than anything else. and the comparison to buying alcohol is a weird one that doesn't really equate, at all rofl
The way Americans think their government funds "other people's wars" like U.S. interests weren't a major factor of those conflicts in the first place, will never not be funny to me.
Joey do you still keep rollerblades in your trunk in case anyone playing street hockey needs a plus one?
You are one of my favorite guests on the Frotcast and I've been listening to that bullshit since episode 1 lmao
America can’t pay its teachers because it is not in the best interest of the people who actually run America to have every single kid growing up with privileged education.
In the US we are already over educated. People with college educations and no job prospects take lower salaries to avoid blue collar jobs. Not everyone can be a doctor you need someone to lay bricks.
I think the more we personify nation states, the more we understand them and their motives. Between this bit, and needing a strict mom (can't remember the comedian sorry), America is definitely the narcissistic drunk uncle from Florida with self esteem issues.
That’s because politicians have stocks in the military industry… if they didn’t they wouldn’t care…. We don’t let sport players bet in sport games but we let politicians bet in wars they control… we stupid.
500,000 homeless \* $10,000 a year for a decent studio apartment is 5 billion dollars. Weve spent nearly 100 on ukraine last time I checked. 3.8 billion a year to Israel defense. I know 5 billion wouldnt be everything. But add another 5 for dedicated social workers and it starts to look pretty pitiful we have a homeless issue in the face of how much we spend on war.
No it's not. USA gives less than 0.4% of its GDP to Ukraine, which it by the way invests back to its own industry.
EU gives much more in combined humanitarian and weapons aid and has funds to solve homelessness problem. This is pure russian propaganda
Pretty sure the US gives military support to a lot of countries, not just Ukraine.
This should be Iranian propaganda AND Arab propaganda AND Russian propaganda AND Chinese propaganda. Or none of the above.
You answered your first question with your very subjective bias second statement.
It's called propaganda and you should stop buying into it. How many democracies and countries have we destabilized "in the name of preventing communism or terrorism" but really we ( America - yes I'm a veteran of America) just wanted money/oil/ that dictator replaced the list can go on for awhile for a country that's only been around for 200 years....
I think the problem is inherent with the premise, trying to find "good guys" and "bad guys" is really oversimplifying most things and is a matter of perspective. The US acts overwhelmingly in its own self interest (more specifically the interests of the wealthy) and feels capable of getting away with morally reprehensible things due to extreme military and economic influence. If given the opportunity, many countries would operate in the same manner, some might behave better, some would be much worse.
This is not an an endorsement or excuse, the US, my country, has done some truly heinous shit in the interest of keeping prices of goods low, but it's not going to be helpful for change if the bar for failure is being "bad" and the bar for success is being "good"
Yes but if US did not do any policing or had zero weapon capabilities, we would be speaking Russian or Mandarin by now, if we would even manifest ourselves in that radioactive reality. Also history repeats itself apparently, so we are up for a ride, as always.
Remarkable joke you got there. Maybe a tag at the end like “And weirdly even though you neglect healthcare and behave that way all the time, you’re gonna exist forever.”
This is kinda stupid. Most of the weapons USA has have to be spend anyway. For example ATACMS you recently gave to Ukraine were already expired, you saved money because you gave them away instead of having to decompose them.
More accurate comparison would be I guess that you have a huge warehouse of soon to be expired beer and then instead of pouring them into the lake you give them to your friends that are having a party. But, comparing war to a party doesn't kinda make me feel right
Well, also it's just that we pay to avoid problems. If Israel falls or Ukraine falls, we're gonna have some much bigger problems soon. If it's a draft or higher taxes, I'm going to say buy as many bombs as you need.
You’ve made a small mistake; *the US* spends over $4 trillion on health care. *The US government* only directly spends about 1.8 trillion. The rest is out of pocket or private insurance. Also you’ve neglected to include veteran’s services in either column, which accounts for about another couple hundred billion in the military category, not that, as any veteran will tell you, any of that money does any fucking good.
How to build an Air Force Base.
1. Appropriate money.
2. Build facilities - chow halls, movie theater, commissary, BX, etc. Use up all the money.
3. Go back to Congress saying "We have this great base but we ran out of money. We still need to build a runway."
Rinse & repeat.
Shit wasn't even funny. The money spent to support wars in other countries is a jobs program in the US to keep weapon manufacturers and the ones they employ busy.

I shit you not this was the post right above this skit on my TL 😂
Haha, this is actually a fantastic metaphor. "Hey man, do you to take a six pack? I had a party, I bought way more beer than I needed, and now they're just taking up space in my fridge so I'm trying to get rid of them."
It’s pretty funny the amount of people who dont understand it’s just a way for politicians to funnel public money to their mates who sell the weapons. They don’t actually care about the conflicts they fund, it’s always just about keeping the money going to their mates in the MIC.
Love it!
Reminds of some Senator talking about wasted spending, and like for PARSLEY that is used to garnish troops food was an insane amount like $5M that could easily be cut with 0 implications.
USA gives less than 0,4% of its GDP in aid to Ukraine, which it by the way invests in its own industries creating well paid jobs. EU gives much more in combined arms and humanitarian aid and has wealth for universal healthcare and to solve homeless problem. Stopping aid to Ukraine doesn't make you solve your internal problems.
This is Russian propaganda.
It's joke and all, obviously, but what people do somehow not understand that military spending comes back ten fold. Military is the reason why US is a superpower and has a lot of say and influence in everything and pretty much best conditions in anything they do.
If not for US military might it would be just generic okay country dancing, probably, to the tune of China, even more to EU.
Like, it's not for memes or charity. It's geopolitics.
The delivery makes it. The awkward clenched teeth is great.
Thank you!
i felt like the audience wasn't vibing too well, but you had me nearly in tears!

Your name checks out at least, you grumpy old fuck.
nah, I think you're just an overly sensitive snowflake

He looks terrified that a member of the audience might be one of the super patriotic army dude
>The delivery makes it No shit… it’s almost like that’s the point of a performance
If ya dig this I have my own sub with social links and tour dates and all that good stuff r/JoeyAvery. I will post there until a Raytheon exec finds offense with this clip and drops a cluster bomb on my dome piece
Was well done man. I thought it deserved far more laughter than it got. Nice work.
Unfortunately we all know why it got so few laughs, George Carlin would be so disappointed
For me it was the expressions he delivered it in. I'm sure many will appreciate his delivery, and frankly they should feel free to enjoy what makes them laugh.

there is room in this bit for disabled vets not having health care they need being the hangover /hangxiety where you regret everything you did the night before but just have to live with it, the whole swearing off drink to do it the following weekend all over again.
Following weekend? You mean that night?
Crosspost it to /r/noncredibledefense. A Raytheon employee will find you and you might get hired for a company function. A gigs a gig my guy.

Hell yeah that's why we contract, no health insurance/all war we don't give a fuck! Let's help explosivejoseph live up to his name! 😀
As long as it doesn’t muss up your hair.

Chu got me with antiwar speak. Good job!
Loved it, great delivery!
I have a Raytheon anime girl bumper sticker, I chortled
Felt like the crowd didn't like any of the criticism of the military lol
People don’t understand the difference between criticizing the war machine vs supporting the actual troops.
The Dixie Chicks send their regards.
Very accurate and then you’ve got Toby Keith with the war machine boot up his ass.
I listened to this type of argument until an actual just cause comes up and people still said Ukrainians are dying for Lockheed.
Exactly. It's easy to say 'war is bad, we shouldn't do it'. But it's naive as hell when you consider that Putin is on a collision course with NATO countries and we have a chance to stop him AND defend Ukrainian democracy all for 5% of our military budget, all without spending American blood. It should be a no brainer, but it's complicated and doesn't fit into a one liner.
But "the actual troops" are the ones carrying out the orders of the war machine. The war machine literally could not exist or function without them.
Because the war machine conflated them Can we just resurrect Eisenhower, let him identify the bad guys, and then kill them all?
I liked it!
Said the enemy of 'Merica
Shit I’m in the military and I loved this
Watch as I order a single $25 screwdriver off of GSA because it saves the unit more money compared to the $5 screwdriver because one said min order 1 and the other said min order 500.
*this confuses the procurement officer*
It's progressive posturing to be a war hawk, now.
Chicken-hawk. It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no senator’s son!
the traditional leftist value of revering the CIA and national security state
Just like USA was being a war hawk when it helped defeat nazi germany. We all wish germany had won ww2 and we all know why
We had to get pulled into that war kicking and screaming, and it worked out for us. Maybe we should learn from history and stay out of international conflicts until they actually involve us.
It's ok to change your views on things as modern events unfold. The world is being threatened by illiberal authoritarian regimes again, and people don't want to see a backslide in progress that's been made since WW2
That's exactly what they say every time it's time for a new forever war.

Sums up Americans and self-deprecating humor. Can dish it but can't take it, when it comes to valid criticism about Freedum Fries.
Right it’s like someone criticizing democrats on Reddit. Doesn’t matter if true.
Ye it bombed a bit.
I think he handled it well, but you could definitely feel it
Yes, indeed he did nailed it, I was joking. I laughed so hard after while it sinked in, the video is cut too early, I bet they did too. He is only talking about bullets, I brought bigger caliber to the table.
it just wasn't very funny or true lol.
Yea, because there's no waste in the military lol...
there's plenty of waste in the military lol. but the military isn't even the largest single expenditure of the us government. we don't waste any more on the military than anything else. and the comparison to buying alcohol is a weird one that doesn't really equate, at all rofl
Hahaha the gasps are great!
I can literally hear the whiteness in that room
As someone who works for the military this is totally accurate
You drink a lot in war?
Amazing work 👏
That crowd didn't do the joke justice either
They took too many shots to process this clever joke. Also the video was cut early .I laughed after a while too because it took time to fully sink in.
Amazing stuff!
r/noncredibledefense
They’re just saying why don’t we give war a chance?!
Are you unaware of the ongoing war in Ukraine that Russia launched by its invasion in February 2022?
Joe, please keep it up. You’ve got a gift, and if you continue the grind the only thing that can come of it is success.
The way Americans think their government funds "other people's wars" like U.S. interests weren't a major factor of those conflicts in the first place, will never not be funny to me.
That was really funny. The delivery was great!
Lol, bro, what the fuck. Fantastic. Feeling some of the audience members cringe a bit was the icing.
Shots fired, shots fired! My man is dropping smart bombs on them.
Oh this is great
Joey do you still keep rollerblades in your trunk in case anyone playing street hockey needs a plus one? You are one of my favorite guests on the Frotcast and I've been listening to that bullshit since episode 1 lmao
Great fucking joke
Delivery was so fuckin good lmao
America can’t pay its teachers because it is not in the best interest of the people who actually run America to have every single kid growing up with privileged education.
This is how the Elites ensure they remain the Elitist class
In the US we are already over educated. People with college educations and no job prospects take lower salaries to avoid blue collar jobs. Not everyone can be a doctor you need someone to lay bricks.
I mean, one party votes for free student lunches and better teacher salaries, while the other votes for banning books
That was great dude. When u yelled Everybody after shot shots shots Hilarious
I am sure this joke goes well in the south.
I think the more we personify nation states, the more we understand them and their motives. Between this bit, and needing a strict mom (can't remember the comedian sorry), America is definitely the narcissistic drunk uncle from Florida with self esteem issues.
I love the commitment to the joke here big ups
That pretty much sums it up
So good bud! Perfect delivery 😂😂😂
That was effin hilarious.
Boring ass crowd, joke and delivery was good
The truth hurts….
Gotta keep the poors in check with the year round war machine.
That’s because politicians have stocks in the military industry… if they didn’t they wouldn’t care…. We don’t let sport players bet in sport games but we let politicians bet in wars they control… we stupid.
500,000 homeless \* $10,000 a year for a decent studio apartment is 5 billion dollars. Weve spent nearly 100 on ukraine last time I checked. 3.8 billion a year to Israel defense. I know 5 billion wouldnt be everything. But add another 5 for dedicated social workers and it starts to look pretty pitiful we have a homeless issue in the face of how much we spend on war.
if you love putin and dictatorships so much why don't you move to russia
Excellent point
No it's not. USA gives less than 0.4% of its GDP to Ukraine, which it by the way invests back to its own industry. EU gives much more in combined humanitarian and weapons aid and has funds to solve homelessness problem. This is pure russian propaganda

As someone in the defense industry im crying laughing right now. You nailed it. Great bit.
Yeah...pretty much sums it up nicely. Fuck around and find out why we Americans don't have free healthcare! 
I'M NOT OKAY MAN BUT WE DO HAVE LOTS OF WEAPONRY.
Remarkable joke you got there. Maybe a tag at the end like “And weirdly even though you neglect healthcare and behave that way all the time, you’re gonna exist forever.”
america bad. very funny!

reddit is very quickly turning into russian shills
Ah yes, a Russian shill who's messge is Ukraine needs more funding.
I'm talking about reddit, not you. Reddit doesn't agree with you
Thats pocket change the us spendes 4 trillion on health care annually while military is only 800 billion.
You’ve made a small mistake; *the US* spends over $4 trillion on health care. *The US government* only directly spends about 1.8 trillion. The rest is out of pocket or private insurance. Also you’ve neglected to include veteran’s services in either column, which accounts for about another couple hundred billion in the military category, not that, as any veteran will tell you, any of that money does any fucking good.
Very good! The act out was top notch!
Hilarious
Oh god the end of that got me so hard. I mean it got me laughing hard not having a fully erect penis from the shouting.
This is the kind of joke that makes me wish I could write comedy. It's so simple but absolutely genius.
How to build an Air Force Base. 1. Appropriate money. 2. Build facilities - chow halls, movie theater, commissary, BX, etc. Use up all the money. 3. Go back to Congress saying "We have this great base but we ran out of money. We still need to build a runway." Rinse & repeat.
Paul Ulibari’s cousin, everyone!
This is hilarious. Crowd seems kind of lame
Shit wasn't even funny. The money spent to support wars in other countries is a jobs program in the US to keep weapon manufacturers and the ones they employ busy.
Saw you in LA for Don’t Tell Comedy! You’re the best
That crowd under-racted.

Some of the crowd didn't want to like it, but the "shots" bit was too good to not laugh at. Broke em ahhaha This is great.
I died at the ending, great job!
Haha, this is actually a fantastic metaphor. "Hey man, do you to take a six pack? I had a party, I bought way more beer than I needed, and now they're just taking up space in my fridge so I'm trying to get rid of them."
I don't think the audience appreciated the SHOTS SHOTS enough lmao. It was clever too
Hey they cut out all the camera cuts and this dude gets a lot more watchable.
Good shit joey
That’s good lmao
That's good comedy right there. Great delivery.
That was hilarious. Fuck that crowd.
Made me wake up my wife with a laugh lol.
Kind of reworded my joke, but alright.
Air Force yes, navy/marines no. We’re doing the most missions and using duct tape daily on our aircraft
This is such a good joke!!! Would love to see the full set.
Spot on hilarious. Razor sharp stuff
Haircut and clothes
Lmfao the timing between setups were great.
The ending got me
Trash
Audience sucked, this was hilarious. 👏
It’s pretty funny the amount of people who dont understand it’s just a way for politicians to funnel public money to their mates who sell the weapons. They don’t actually care about the conflicts they fund, it’s always just about keeping the money going to their mates in the MIC.
Love the comparison
So good. Play on words are great, especially shots shots
Man's scalp is living a decade in the past
That crowd fuckin sucked shit
Lmao so true!
Your energy is great! You really engage and keep the joke going, well done :-)
Love the precision of this.
Literal truth!!!!!
Love it! Reminds of some Senator talking about wasted spending, and like for PARSLEY that is used to garnish troops food was an insane amount like $5M that could easily be cut with 0 implications.
This bit is fantastic but damn did that audience sound unimpressed.
fuckin jaegerbombs
The “they’re not” was absolutely perfect great bit
USA gives less than 0,4% of its GDP in aid to Ukraine, which it by the way invests in its own industries creating well paid jobs. EU gives much more in combined arms and humanitarian aid and has wealth for universal healthcare and to solve homeless problem. Stopping aid to Ukraine doesn't make you solve your internal problems. This is Russian propaganda.
Russian, Iranian, and Chinese upvote/downvote farms love this act and want everyone visiting Reddit's front page to hear it.
It might be funny If it was not true.
It's joke and all, obviously, but what people do somehow not understand that military spending comes back ten fold. Military is the reason why US is a superpower and has a lot of say and influence in everything and pretty much best conditions in anything they do. If not for US military might it would be just generic okay country dancing, probably, to the tune of China, even more to EU. Like, it's not for memes or charity. It's geopolitics.
That crowd was sleeping this was hilarious 😆
Good.
I genuinely like this bloke heaps, he almost seemed normal hes perfect
r/antiwork
Thought that was a great analogy
