@JumpinJAKEFlash

Man is high af and slinging jokes I love it 😂

@Post.nut_Clarity

is it just me, or is watching a comedian break character to genuinely laugh while performing funnier than the actual material?

@autumnstoptwo

he’s hilariously talented. the underwater scenes had me feeling like we were really floating! 😂 incredible sound effect work and storytelling

@kanaljerov2854

"So I smoke marijuana sometimes, a lot, every day." Amen brother.

@ultrabower3880

This man did 10 different accents. Best stand up I seen in a long time! 😂I became a fan after one show 🎉

@KwyatMan

You can tell he's a kind soul and that makes this even more special! 😊

@richardelliott8352

I appreciated this man's unusual ability to add a dimension of whimsy, a lighthearted joyousness that is unusual to see in in a comic. .

@buckmudd8006

"The African bee is like 'WHO are we going to sting today?'" XD This guy is great!

@codygooding1332

I love how much he laughs at his own material. Makes it feel more like a funny conversation with your friends.

@drew-shourd

Great act, killer timing, awesome material, amazing voice actor....gotta go look this cat up now, see what he has done since this aired in 2009.

@aguywithaname7764

Greer is low key 1 if the funniest stand ups. The scuba diving bit killed

@xdmztryvsvedine2773

He’s super underrated. I remember seeing him on Comedy Central like 12 years ago and I couldn’t stop laughing. Dude has a good speaking voice too.

@pdxpete48

I never heard of Greer before this was just luck for me to stumble upon his show, he's crushing it with his material and voice talent

@qkranarchist3015

I had a neighbor like Greer. I loved sitting out on his porch talking with him. Told him my Dad would have been a good neighbor for talking but I always knew my neighbor was a billion times smarter than me, knowing so much. I felt like a little grasshopper sitting next to him. We were roughly same age but man he was leagues more advanced. We'd sit for hours just talking. Miss him since I moved.

@VoltairesRevenge

Greer has been among my favorites since the 90’s. His talent and creativity are boundless.

@AxelCross

Greer Barnes is one of the best. Seriously, this dude is a master. Crazy how few specials hes put out.

@Savaqe_Mode

I remember watching this 10+yrs ago in my parents house just high af laughing my ass off 😂

@teemack8282

This guy is legit. I've seen some of his older stand up. He is very underrated also very intellectually funny.

@syx9986

I've been laughing at his comedy for over 25 years. My best friend and I still make references to jokes we've heard long ago!

@jimmyfaganmuzik3561

This bro was smooth like butter with his delivery...👍🏿
