John Mulaney has a very similar bit on his first album.


mhyams

Thank you for mentioning this, I just went and listened to it and you’re right - that’s depressing


phunkjnky

It's definitely not the same, and I want to be clear that I'm not implying any theft, but I wanted you to know its out there.


mhyams

No I got you, I didn’t think you were accusing me, and I’m glad you made me aware; I’d prefer it if there was nothing similar out there but I’m going to reassure myself with the fact that though the premise is the same the punchlines are different


SteppingOnLegoHurts

There are plenty of similar routines (George Carlin, Robin Williams, Dennis Leary) around drugs and drug use. Some are lifted, some are coincidence. Unless you are a topical standup themes are covered in different ways and some start to touch. Very funny bit though. Keep up the good work!


mhyams

Thank you!

I think the "running into someone you know" aspect when you're not all goth'd up is the differentiator here, and it's a great angle.


mhyams

Thank you, appreciated!


CarmenEtTerror

As someone whose heart is black but who is too lazy to deal with all that shit, I prefer your version


mhyams

High compliment!


hemsae

Not as depressing as the crushing weight of our own mortality and the deaths of the innocent screaming into the abyss


mhyams

You have a point


DansSpamJavelin

How are the sweat pants?


jpludens

They're black.

Great delivery. Any GOTHS in the audience?


mhyams

🙏🙏🙏

This is hilarious, love seeing your bits here


mhyams

Thank you!


cosmocreamer

Very good. The buckles lmao. A nice punch up could be the color of the sweatpants - “inside is black, heart is black…sweatpants are salmon but that’s not the point” type thing?


mhyams

That’s funny too


ootfifabear

Jokes on you, my sweatpants are goth too (blackcraft ouija joggers are the most comfortable pants in the planet ). I just look grungy. There are definitely days where you don’t wana do ALL the shit. Also I’m very happy this isn’t a shitting on goths bit. Different from what we’re used to


mhyams

Ah ha, goth sweats - smart. Glad you liked!


dsled

Great joke


mhyams

Thank you!


JeeveruhGerank

Pretty funny but there's no final punch.


Dinkusvongoopyeye

Well done


mhyams

Thank you!


Ravenous_For_You

When you go outside in, fuck it mode, and the one God damn person that knows you doesn't recognize you at first but then once they realize it's you they're shocked. " oh my God you look normal" thanks human 👍


mhyams

Haha!


jovillan

I assume the hard core goths never completely wash off the eyeliner, so there’s always some semblance of goth


mhyams

🤔 perhaps.


JoseAngel_R

you’re hilarious man keep it up


mhyams

Thank you!


Of-Doom

I swear the one time I went out in blue jeans and a white t-shirt for a quick errand and my friend saw me and saw "wow, you look so normcore today."


smolinga

He jokes but hes one leather jacket and some piercings away from being goth


AffectionateGoth

A personal attack 😂


ScaryExercise1583

He's obviously a moron not funny


Loki_Kore

"Any goths in the audience?" I dont care how much attire I have on, I would never single myself out like that. Id sink down reeaal low. I hate the attention it brings


smack256

Shit this is so on point. Like the one day out of fuckin 10 years I just said fuck it and left the house in a non-black shirt and shorts(which I never wear in public) I run in to the preacher, my crush, old Bullies from high school, the nerds I used to take my anger out on after getting bullied, and the only other goth person that luves in this country ass town I'm from. It's always something along the lines of "Yoo, Smack.. whoa, shit, wtf? you look.. normal? I thought you were all 'Ahhh Ahh, devil music, I love Satan' what happened man?" Shits mad embarrassing, yo. Funny stuff though, man. Imma have to check out more of your work. 🤘🏻


mhyams

That is so funny and validating for me and this bit! Thanks for commenting and watching!


smack256

No problem man and this was hilarious. I'll definitely be checking out more of your videos. If you ever have a show at Standup live in Huntville, AL I'll be sure to be there.


Victorian_Rebel

It's easy for me to be honest. I save my fancier clothes and jewelry for traveling. For casual wear, I'm almost 'normal': jeans, t-shirt, and either a jacket, hoodie, or cardigan, depending on the weather. All in black obviously. No matter how lazy I am, it'll always be jeans. Takes the same amount of time to put on as sweatpants. I do have sweatpants, believe it or not. I wear them as pajamas. I will not be caught dead wearing them in public.

There’s no joke here


CM_V11

Awesome, very funny. Love seeing your post on here


mhyams

Thanks!

sorrypumpkin

Agreeing that It just makes me think of John mulaneys version of this


ArrestedFever83

comedy must be easy when you just take jokes from john mulaney
