This is awesome, great job!

[wolfthing11]

I remember this guy from the laugh factory. He wasn't funny then, and he isn't funny now.

[AeronPeryton]

This guy is actually pretty good. We need more current-generation comedians who can joke about things like video games. And not just in general but specific points like the overwhelming realism of Heavy Rain.

[fuze9]

One more reason to heart Kumail

[T0NNiX]

@ 2:00 and for the rest of the video, that sounds like a Mel Gibson movie.

[newyorkreload]

heavy rain was both awesome and sad.

[Wamidh]

[SwellBread]

This is fantastic! Gamer comedy!

[IIIIIbarcodeIIIII]

Love it!!!

[heatbucspies55]

I love stand up comedy, and I'm always looking to find new comedians.

When I see a new, younger comedian on Comedy Central or whereve,r a lot of the peopel aren't very good and Im disappointed.

It's nice to see someone who's actually really good.

[coolguy701]

loved that game heavy rain.

[Taimoore]

This guy is hilarious

[wickkidda]

oh you had to jump over barrels to save the princess from a giant monkey? MY WIFE LEFT ME

[halfmanhalfmetal]

Lol. Heavy Rain is so very French. It's sopping with existentialism. I swear the lead character looks like a sad hobo clown. He was so unlikable and boring that wanted to kill him on purpose but even that was nearly impossilbe. You couldn't really die, just make the experience sadder and sadder.

[xicehawk]

lol I thought this was funny

[Bruchac]

not funny, he just states the obvious..

[evanite]

So he's laughing at the game cuz it has an emotional story ?

And he's bitching about the fact he payed for an expierence with emotional elements ?

So then movies like drama's, or not even drama's just movies with a deep story all suck too ?

Its the same like saying : "I saw a movie last time and someone died and then someone was crying about it, WHATS THAT ABOUT ?"

[ReddFiveOhOh]

@evanite He's poking fun at the fact that the game is depressing. You know, a game, that is usually played to have fun, and it's depressing, and he paid for it. It's a little thing called irony.

[evanite]

@ReddFiveOhOh Okay, but dont tell me you don't get my point.

He talks about how games are evolving and such, but he ignores the fact that the story's in games evolve too.

Im not saying every game needs to have a story like Heavy rain, but that is what Heavy Rain is, a story driven game.

[ReddFiveOhOh]

@evanite I do understand what you're saying.

[zerozero1zerozero100]

@evanite stop paying attention to comedy if you arent going to go along with the bits, douche

[finka123456]

@ReddFiveOhOh It becomes intense...its like one of those make your own adventure books...there are a load of people who may be the serial killer and each time you play the game it turns out diffrently..when i played it turned out the character was scizophrenic and kidnaped and killed his own son..fucked up but fun

[getxstupid]

@evanite its just a joke

[Strand0410]

@evanite Looks like someone got a bit defensive. He's a comedian making jokes at the expense that videogames, a platform most mainstream people consider as a juvenile past-time, can not only be serious, but downright soul-crushing. There's an element of humour to be found in people willingly pay time and money to experience real-life misery.

[evanite]

@Strand0410 I'm not saying he's a bad comedian or that he isn't funny. It is probably just because i really like that games have are getting more mature. I just didn't think this was very funny and the first time i saw it it maybe even pissed me of a bit. But i took it too serious. No hating ;)

[Thunderitch]

How does anybody consider this funny, or comedy? He's just retelling the game's story and mechanics. -.-"

[ender424]

@Thunderitch It's called observational comedy. 

[djiminezgamer]

funnny shitt

[kapoweyy]

i wonder if any of you have even played heavy rain.

[Singleattackfucker]

This guys really funny.

[PerceivetoSuffer]
