Man, he's got as unique of delivery as Ron White (who's style I love) and just as funny, yet I wouldn't mind living next-door to Jake. (Ron would cause me to build a big fence!) FUNNNNY GUY! Why isn't he famous??? Just the way of fame, I'd say.
Jake Johannsen is top notch, no matter what the entertainment industry has given him!
We saw you on our honeymoon at Caesars Tahoe. 1993. Had never heard of you. Along with the sex she and I had, you made our honeymoon. We were crying, we were laughing so hard. I'm afraid to say, your performance put a curse on our marriage. We are now divorced. Thanks a lot.

never heard of him, happy I found him today. A breath of fresh comedic air. Not a bunch of sex and money jokes and a bunch of cuss words, just funny stuff. Bravo Jake. Hope to see more of you on TV soon.
@buymosaic Sserious? Wow. Bill Hicks, Richard Beltzer, Mitch Hegland? I know he's kinda overated but, Robin Williams, Denis Leary, George Carlin? I might just be reading this wrong, but if I turned on the tube and any of the cats I just mentioned were on, I'd sit and turn up the volume.
I remember Jake when I was a kid, and he did some hysterical spiel about the new church of American Standard where they believed Jesus slipped in the tub. So rather than the sign of the cross, they all go "Whoah" - u gotta see it. Wish i could find it. It was side splitting funny!
@cantilever Actually, Dane Cook should be shot. But like bill Hicks said; We only kill the cool people "Gahndi killed, Kennedy killed, MLK Killed, Regan wounded..."
@foxwilliammulderx Gandhi was a hard-core religious fanatic, Kennedy a cynical plutocrat (who ramped up our defense spending dramatically after Eisenhower left office), and MLK a philandering plagiarist...not exactly cool people. But for the joke to work I get why Hicks used them...
(The only thing that keeps me from agreeing with you about Dane Cook being shot is how generous he is to Bobby Kelly...)
@cantilever Comedy really works for you huh... Sorry I talked to you, or any of you assholes on youtube. Prick, and please dont ever contact me again asshole. Not that I like religon, corupt mick politicians or guys who just want to be treated as a human should be treated, I was just quoting Hicks. Hope you fell better about your issues, I geuss I can sleep better tonight.
I love the voting booth joke--great way to start the demo reel. My favorite comedians are Johannsen, Dangerfield, Williams and some new guy (Charles Gahl) I found with one video on youtube.
man the fucking guys been on carson and still hasnt broken through yet lame asses like dane cook and carlos mencia are famous this guy is much funnier than dane cook or carlos mencia
@warghost Must you use profanity?? That is just terrible! There are LADIES on this board, you know. Here I tune in to watch some innocent video and get in a good mood, and immediately see profanity!! Do you talk this way in real life??
soooo funny, loved it!! had never heard of him til the late show w Letterman on 1-25-08. he had me crying! so checked utube and here he is!! i hope someone will video his routine from the letterman show soon!!
I have never seen your stand-up routine before & tonite on Letterman I saw you first time and man! You were funny. You have good observation skill and you're timings are impeccable. You made me laugh and like your kind of comedy clean & original.
Yup, saw him earlier for the first time too. Very funny. I was hoping I'll see that "23-year old" bit on here. Maybe in a few hours or days. That was just hilarious and true!
As many times as I've tried, I can't get this to stop freezing! I've counted and it's about 12-14 times a minute it freezes. Maybe it's just my computer?
At any rate, I was lucky enough to see him in San Francisco in '89 and promise you I've never laughed so hard in my life! He's STILL wonderful.
He's my favorite performer by FAR. I also Loved Richard Jeni, but in a different way. He relied too much on his Shatner and Cousteau bits. Jake just has this original ramble thats NOT standup, just a guy telling funny stories with great "parentheticals" all the time. One of a Kind.

I saw Jake live about 7 years ago. My ribs are still hurting from laughing so hard. I love comedy and have seen numerous comedians. He is my all-time favorite. I also met him and he is a really nice and cool guy as well. YOU MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO!
Today I did one of my old Jake references (My power is beyond your understanding!) which prompted me to search for him. Glad I did! I'm going to check him out when he's in town in a few weeks.
