maybe i just don't get it. it's like they realized they wrote a perfect song, panicked, and then added a violin solo.

I guess if you write a song that good, you can give it whatever dumbass title you want.

Big news I can finally share - season two of 'Joe Pera Talks With You' will be coming out this holiday season on @adultswim. There are 14 new episodes, each with new topics, and I will let you speculate whether this fire hydrant will be introduced as a new major character. https://t.co/jED4yFjs7i— Joe Pera (@JosephPera) September 4, 2019

t the time very tired) partner said his show was "too awkward" to enjoy, it made her too anxious. i said you must have watched the wrong episode and put on the episode where he talks you to sleep. she said "actually this is amazing" and fell asleep before it ended.

I've been tearing through this the past few days, and was about to watch the last two, but Adult Swim's site is just giving me their weird 404 page now :(
Biggest laugh for me so far, was the cutaway to the deli slicer in the NYE episode. "NICE AND THICK." Something about that just short-circuited my brane. Biggest smile was when the band teacher starts beating the drum along to "Baba O'Riley."

This is the sweetest comedy ever. I would happily watch feature length episodes of Joe going about his day.
― paolo, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 12:41 (four years ago) link
He's just become 'that twentysomething guy who acts like he's in his late seventies' at this point
He's only in his twenties?????
― paolo, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 12:42 (four years ago) link
One of my fave things about him is I remember seeing him at a few open mics in like 2010 and he was doing the exact same thing he is now, the voice, the shirts, everything. I love that he just figured that out early on and mustve just been like "yup, this feels perfect."

I'm amazed by how much I care about Joe after only nine ten minute episodes. I think it's because he's so different from other main characters in that he's so uncomplicated and straightforward in the best possible way. It's refreshing to see characters who aren't dark or edgy or complex

ive shared this show with about ten people now and half completely get it and love and the other half are done within about four minutes of the first ep.
this is back with new episodes in like two weeks!

Holy cow, I recognized him immediately and then thought 'no way is that actually hum' but sure enough, that was totally a Mark Borchardt cameo in the rat wars episode!

i never thought a show could have me as emotionally invested in a bean arch, but here we are.
the shitty baseball-playing yooper me from my childhood was cheering wildly during episode 2.

Ep 3/4 were both great and misted me up a bit even as they undercut the emotion.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 14:57 (four years ago) link
First two eps were solid. No idea if or how he could top the end of s1 but I'm eager to see him try.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 17 December 2019 14:58 (four years ago) link
this show nails the sweetest midwestern sentiments of things that could or could not be troubling.

friend told me that over the holidays he watched a few eps with his grandfather, who loved them and got hooked, raving that Joe was "very moral" and "should be deacon"

my partner L. _hated_ this show until I explained to her that no one is laughing at Joe and there's not some weird gloss of metahumor where we're all making fun of him and his world but that it is the squarest show on television and yet still very enjoyably sweet and funny. Then she liked it. She thought I was being mean by watching it and laughing!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 27 December 2019 19:14 (four years ago) link
I shared like the first 4-5 episodes with people I'm generally very in sync with wrt comedy and, well, let's say the response was muted at best. Disappointing, but this kinda is its own unique creature so it's hard to tell who's gonna vibe with ol' Joe.
― Drive Like a Demon From Steakhouse to Steakhouse (Old Lunch), Monday, 30 December 2019 18:22 (four years ago) link
Ah but then a friend texted me yesterday asking what the name of the show was with the guy who talked about rocks and breakfast so I may have been too hasty in assessing the reception. I have to remember that it takes time and patience to grow a bean arch.
― Drive Like a Demon From Steakhouse to Steakhouse (Old Lunch), Thursday, 2 January 2020 16:09 (four years ago) link
the moment he found out he had enough money to buy ice cream and got the gallon pail of vanilla might have been the pinnacle of midwest nods in the show's run.

i've been enjoying the new season and last night went back and watched "joe pera lights up the night with you" which is one of my favorites despite getting zero votes here

well how much calmer can this man get? can't imagine another comedian able to close on "if you haven't fallen asleep yet, I wish you good night"
anyway, I loved the whole thing, maybe some parts were awkward or didn't quite work but I also think he's doing something on stage which hasn't really been done before. btw he does break character around 47:50 :)
who was the guy at the top of the balcony they kept cutting to? was that his dad?
― frogbs, Monday, 9 October 2023 14:30 (five months ago) link
Pretty sure that was the doorman who bonked everyone on the head on the way in. And yeah, he totally broke when talking about his female fans freezing their partners to death. Adorable.
Loved this. A little shocking when he went blue for a few minutes there but the impact of the bit was earned by the years of well-maintained sedation.

When I saw him live on this tour in DC he ended up talking to a woman in the crowd who worked in the White House and he made several asides about he was now worried about being targeted by Joe Biden.
― Chris L, Monday, 9 October 2023 14:57 (five months ago) link
I'll also point out that he put the special on YouTube ad-free, which is a really nice thing for him to do especially since it's getting a good amount of views!

i saw him in madison on the tour that turned into this special, looking forward to watching
