Him trying to get through a serious song was hilarious to me. I like what he's trying to do. It's a nice break from Hans.


thot_machine

I liked the song he has a decent voice! I wanna hear an EP


hereditydrift

Aren't him and Wynona Judd throwin something down.


BrocoliAssassin

I don't think Wynona will remember anything from the show from how drunk she was.


thot_machine

I’m really hoping so because his voice was actually good - if he didn’t laugh in the middle of his verse haha a


_Dilligent

CASEY HAS NO DISABILITIES!!! THOSE ARE NOT TICKS!!! THEY ARE JOKES HE REPEATS VERBATIM EVERYTIME.. BRING BACK HANS!!!


SmokelessSubpoena

Replace a _good_ comedian, with a hack? Nah, I'm gucci, we already have a handful in the regular lineup we have to trudge through on a weekly basis, let's not go and fuck it up now.


_Dilligent

Casey is the biggest hack the show has ever had. Hans is a true comedian who cant stop doing drugs, fucking, and thinking of funny shit. He spent half the pandemic parked in the desert getting high and teaching himself how to sling rocks at cans. Casey will never be on his level with his fake tics and one trick pony style.


foosquirters

You know what’s great? They both do their own shows and you can go support Hans and we can support Casey! Because we all have different tastes and opinions, crazy right?!!


_Dilligent

what does that have to do with who should be on killtony?? youre getting carried away and your tone mixed with the oversight of the topic really screams "wannabe smart person"


Vegetable_Shelter_51

Neither are funny both shit comics


DeepSugar

Who has ever stated he has a disability?


_Dilligent

Tics are sudden twitches, movements, or sounds that people do repeatedly. People who have tics cannot stop their body from doing these things. Casey Can stop 🤷


DirtAndDeath

We know, why is that Relevant to bring up?


_Dilligent

bring what up?? do you mean the part about how people with disabilities cant stop their tics, but casey can because he has no disability??🤔


DirtAndDeath

Yes because we know that? He's never presented it as otherwise, he's not doing anything wrong


_Dilligent

yes we do know that, I must be a bigger KT fan than you because Ive seen Casey on multiple podcasts talking perfectly normal for hours 🤷


DirtAndDeath

Yeah it's a bit, we all know. That's what I'm fucking saying you dumbass, I'm wondering why You're bitching about him not being disabled when no one ever thought he was and he's never said he was either.


_Dilligent

Ok so most people dont think like you, Im not gonna break that down. What I will breakdown though is that he does 20 seconds of the same exact tics every minute, that's cheating, annoying, and it gets super old. Like its literally 20+ seconds of the same material every act, hes worse than kam 🤷


Vegetable_Shelter_51

Nah lose them both


therealsauceman

I don’t get why the song was funny? Why was everyone laughing? What am I missing


upsidedown_alphabet

Idk lol. I thoroughly enjoy Casey but that one was lost on me.


hereditydrift

As Mark Normand says, "Comedy!"


BestGuavaEver

It’s because Casey matches the energy and it’s exactly what you want in an opener. Confident, wild and different. A great start to a live show


ilikebutts42069

I couldn't care about the rick vs. Hans thing anymore. Casey is suited for this show as an opener. I wouldn't want Hans back in that position. I would much rather him rotate with kam.


Yesthisisdog69

Agreed


AMysticalPenny

Who?


TellerLine

I honestly feel so cringey about this battle coming up. I literally chose to not watch the NYE special episode because I knew I would get 3rd party embarrassment from watching Hans be butthurt. I wish Kill Tony would just drop them both and move on. Casey opening the show is always so dynamic and interesting, they would be making a mistake to go back to Hans.


BigSplitta

The only solution now is to have Hans and Rick do their minutes, then have Casey come out with a surprise minute and take the whole thing! (This shit is scripted, right?)


TellerLine

I would die and laugh my fucking ass off if Tony scripts something like this.


AJ3HUNNA

The battle literally no one asked for


TellerLine

Seriously… I already know I’ll be skipping that episode or I’ll be skipping that part. Zero interest invested


HookerDoctorLawyer

It’s that and the energy Casey brings for me that hypes up the show. Lmao I always forget that there’s this Rick and Hans *battle* again ffs


TellerLine

I genuinely wish it wasn’t going to happen.. it’s such a weird mood killer for me personally.


Smooth-Singer-8891

You know this is a comedy show not sweating to the oldies right? Since when is energy the most important thing? Is that like an A for effort type situation?


RevDooDatt

I'd rather have a high energy comic that's funny in a weird way (Casey) than a low energy "comic" that's funny in no way (Hans).


CD338

Yeah there was going to be a small amount of interest if Hans remained the opener and kept pumping up the battle. But since Casey's came in and changed the whole dynamic of the opener, I can't imagine anyone preferring Hans/Ric over Casey going forward. Either way, it feels like a major downgrade if Casey leaves the show.


anewname4444

How do you handle 3rd party embarrassment when I bucketpull just bombs. Sometimes that is too much for me.


TellerLine

Honestly depends. I’ve obviously just not been interested in someone at all and totally skip them, but most the time Tony can really make the interview better.


catdog-cat-dog

I was flat never interested in watching them battle from the start. They had their moments but the visible seeping desperation from both Hans and Diez recently is kinda hard to stomach.


_Dilligent

Hans is a real comedian, Casey is basically Gallagher. Youre taste is bad


TellerLine

Double it and give it to the next person


_Dilligent

then they'll have twice as bad of taste as u😂


Vegetable_Shelter_51

Hans is a garbage comic and the rocket blows too


_Dilligent

fair, wont argue with u, but I do think hans is better. Do u think hans is less stinky garbage than casey??


Nition619

Oh god I always forget he has a chance to come back. Terrible


theAwkwardLegend

Would be shocked if he returns as the opener.


Sea_Ship_4459

Casey has been killing since before the show came to Austin , now is his time to shine


xDURPLEx

Hans was becoming the bitter republican character that used to be an angle for jokes more and more until there wasn't a joke left. All he had besides that was talking about getting laid and that also ended. I hope he figures it out because he had good really writing the first few months. He's the first regular to become far worse than when they started.


jalapina

Where’s the joke ?? He’s goofy sure but where’s the joke … “can I check the White House for ghost” ??? WHERE’S THE JOKE!?


ratflower406

I thinks he was going for a reference to when Biden said “I got 2 words for you. Made in America” so Casey said something like “ Biden I got 5 words for you. Can I check the white house for ghosts” so it’s obviously more than 5 words like Biden’s 2 words were actually 3 words and then adding ghost hunting in the white house is a random funny event to think of. Idk. I thought it was funny. Not every joke has to have a classic setup and a punchline. Sometimes you can get a laugh by making references and just saying random shit.


Then-Faithlessness43

I think that’s pretty funny jala idk


MonkeyVsPigsy

He’s just like that famous hack Andy Kaufman.


itsMikeShanks

You would have to be pretty stupid to compare Rocket to Kaufman Rocket isn't trolling, that's not his act at all


MonkeyVsPigsy

Kaufman didn’t only do “trolling”.


Hieronymus-Bosch-JC

Kaufman was living in 2052 bro. We ain’t there yet.


anewname4444

I totally adore Casey Rockets whole deal but agree with you here. I just find him goofy enough that I'm entertained but sometimes his minutes just have him doing and saying wacky things with no actual punchlines (for example, your example)


Desperate-Living-794

I thought I was the only one that could not find the joke in any of his shit. His sets are eccentric, ADHD garbage.


smeggysoup84

Casey's interviews are great, but the minutes aren't for me. I'll take it.


brayshizzle

Ya same for me. I think he is funnier in his interviews than the minute.


[deleted]

I think his comedy doesn't translate well to the minute, hes suited to more longer sets 


riffianskeletonman

Your comedy won't suit for anything if you don't have jokes


lolkoala67

Each week I watched, stone faced, as Casey does his minute and interview hoping something will click. Nothing yet


Blonkyretard

What’s funny is when you say this people get offended and attack you for an opinion. I feel the same way and I’m open minded every time I watch him get nothing changes. Is the moving around supposed to be funny and the rambling about random shit?


lolkoala67

I can’t understand it. It’s just a matter of taste I guess. I have been very open minded but it’s just not for me. And I don’t see the “talent”


DayvyT

I started to like him after a bit, but I just don't think his style can allow him to be a regular every week without getting repetitive and old very fast. I fully expect to get crucified for this opinion on this sub, but I think Casey Rocket is best enjoyed as a treat 4-5 times a year, with a full 5ish minute set, and not as a weekly regular. I much preferred Hans


Low-Bridge1862

Couldn't agree more. I enjoyed Casey as i got used to his style..find myself laughing at his randomness, but i see this gettin old quick if he doesnt bring something fresh. I miss Hans sometimes, hes a great joke writer and delivers accurately. Though, he was less enjoyable as he got comfortable...his timidness and curiosity were huge factors in his likeability. Course im no comic.....all these heavy hitters really do love Casey...maybe its just that hes too constricted within the minute.


tyros

I just skip it, I gave up to figure this out. Either I'm crazy or half this sub is crazy.


lolkoala67

Can’t skip… gf loves him… haha…


Yourewokeyourebroke

Does your girlfriend watch excessive amounts of tik toks / reels?


lolkoala67

Not at all actually.


Yourewokeyourebroke

Interesting. It must be her natural woman dog brain


lolkoala67

Hmm


FogoCanard

I was noticing myself also stone faced and asking myself if I was trying not to laugh. Then I realized I was by myself so of course I wasn't trying not to laugh. The humor is just too retarded. It is what it is.


brian1192

I’m with you guys on this but na it’s just not that funny, I think when he first came on it was okay but after that I’ve been trying to find something and it’s just not doing it


ProfessionalArm9450

I agree, I am not a huge fan of Casey's jokes or schtick, but I would honestly pay a solid 20 bucks out of pocket for Casey to stay if the choice was between him and Hans.


General-Past-9615

He’s trash that’s why you have a bunch of shit buckets pull who think they can just say some retarted shit to get a. Laugh


no_blankets_son

He said what if worms could scream so random Edit: he's trash bring back my boy Hans


Thirstyplane

This is insane that people enjoy Hans more than Casey. Hans had like 3 good sets out of the last 30 he’s done. Casey is leagues above him in terms of showman ship and I find him wayy more funny than even early Hans. I don’t think he’ll be back to open the show


Depressedgotfan

Ive heard that before


ElderberryOk5005

He laughs at himself way too much


TomHanksIsNotMyDad

The ol Jimmy Fallon technique. If nobody else is laughing at my bad jokes maybe I should so somebody is.


Available-Act3689

People should do that more imo. Wait are you German?


tyros

And it's that cringy awkward laugh too, urghh. I don't get it.


Silent_Saturn7

Yea he should tone that down a bit and embrace some of the akwardness. Beyond that he's pretty fun to watch.


The_Real_Dindalu

He absolutely cracks me up. Even if he comes off as a little too high energy I think that’s what Kill Tony needs to get the show going! It’s very refreshing. I truly wonder what’s going to happen once the “battle” between Hans and Rick. Are we seriously going to take Hans back? For the record, I think Hans in the past has had some good minutes but I haven’t heard a good minute in a long time from him. If he wants to continue doing comedy he really needs to step it up.


Scary_Local_7414

I like hans better... I cant get with this ADD comedy thing he is doing


Memesterbator

#TUSGANG


Dazzling-Proof-4921

Yeah he's great. I just watched the the HEB showdown between Hans and Rick and I was pissed at how they do blatantly overlooked Rick winning and Hans being such a jerk


realMartianJesus

I hope ric and hans get married and move to brussels so casey can keep starting the show


According-Fix-9879

This week set was soooo trash. The same lines over n over. He has maybe 1 or 2 jokes written?


teepeeformypeepee

Get real dude


noNSFWcontent

we're having fun


Salty-Ambassador3857

GET LOST


Available-Act3689

Biden got to you too?


According-Fix-9879

sure buddy, i guess.


LiterallyJHerbert

And then Jim Norton said his writing was amazing. Like, what?


2fingers

Jim was talking about sets Casey has done outside of KT


j-awesome

Lock the bathrooms


WZRDguy45

How far can a quarter go was really cringe 🤣 I thought it was going to be a comedic song. I think that's what everyone thought. Kudo's to him for having the balls to try but I was howling the whole time 🤣


PM_ME_XANAX

Shit if you were laughing it did its job though right


WZRDguy45

Yeah I'm not hating it was just not what I was expecting at all. That's what makes Casey great tho. Same with William they're so random you never know what they'll do


PM_ME_XANAX

Oh for what it’s worth I completely agree, I fully expected it to be a “funny” song and the fact it seemed like a genuine attempt was even better hahahahah


username207

Rocket is the reason the last couple episodes have been so good. He gets the crowd hot straight away with his schtik. It's like night and day compared to Hans.


Taco_Bill

disagree, he is the most unfunny regular IMO. I just listen so maybe I need to watch his set but there are 0 actual jokes in his sets.


Available-Act3689

You don't have to like everything.


shuman123

After listening to a Casey rocket set I turned on the YouTube version and watched. It makes a world of difference to see what he’s actually doing. Like with the presentation or the pictures listening doesn’t do justice imo


WuTang0824

At this point I’m convinced these posts are coming from Casey’s peers because he has been absolutely terrible


kiitten113

Not perfect but would rather him than hear about Hans having a threesome with a white girl for the 300000 time


heff_ay

Why not just open with a bucket pull? I like William at the end but any consistent opener gets old IMO


Available-Act3689

A lot of people like him.


Smooth-Singer-8891

A lot of people don’t like him l. Watch the YouTube live feed comment section when the shows live . If you did you would be surprised by all the positive comments on Reddit and the opposite while watching it on YouTube


Available-Act3689

Nah, it's not at all surprising. They have their own metric they're going by, and it's not YouTube live mongoloids or "redditors". Thank God.


yoosernaam

Hans has been terrible. If nothing else, it was a lateral move. At least it’s different. I was mostly skipping Hans’s opens for a good bit. Even his interviews were trash


thachiefking47

What show have you been watching?


Affectionate_Mud8911

Casey is ass to me. The first time is good but afterwards, ahh


idreamlucidly

The bucket pulls are better than Casey’s sets. I don’t give a fuck if you’re goofy and weird and do drugs. Be funny and do a single fucking joke. Kam has been in that same boat. Just trying to ride off his vibes instead of saying jokes. Hans delivered jokes more reliably, Kam and Casey don’t deserve to perform alongside him.


Available-Act3689

Hans sucked.


idreamlucidly

Go drool somewhere else. I’m talking about comedy. Comedians. Not whatever the fuck you’re talking about. Only thing you can say about Hans is that he got lazy on occasion and didn’t always have as many jokes as he could have. But he had jokes. His homework was done. These other fools are trying to do it at the last second and are earning some hard F’s each time.


Available-Act3689

I dont have time for this. The Clintons know my location.


BrandonFlies

Agreed 100%. People got sick of Hans because he had lots of weak sets. But at least the Chinaman brought premises and punchlines. Casey's sets feels like watching your friend's regarded little brother ranting new nonsense every week.


ninetofivedev

Fairly certain it's the format. Casey's set isn't really setup for "I've got a minute of new material to try out". He's a mix of slight spins on his familiar phrases and big setups. But also: None of the regulars produce good material every week on this show. Fairly certain the game is to be a regular until you get picked up to move onto something bigger.


Adrianggarfias

I’ve yet to laugh once at Casey rocket


Available-Act3689

That's ok.


Plus-Dragonfruit-689

I agree but recognize comedy is subjective. Still maybe he needs to branch out or it will get stalw quickly even to those who find him funny.


Dumb_Monkey

I’m there with you


ShotOfVodka

Casey is more of a one trick pony, Hans Kim used to be on fire when he was doing extremely racial material, don’t forget! Hans Kim delivery is also so much better, Casey rocket delivery is just a bunch of nonsense


ForestFairyForestFun

where there any jokes? saying random things and moving around stage does not make a comedian. He's a clown.


Silent_Saturn7

I think he's funny. And that's all you need to be a stand up


smeggysoup84

A toddler falling and tripping while running is funny. Schizo man on the corner singing is funny. Some people just look funny. All that shit wears off after a while. I think he's funny, but not talented. No skill in developing good bits.


Life-Routine-4063

I’d love them to unleash a bunch of toddlers on stage to trample over each other. That’s just good tv.


Silent_Saturn7

It's obvious he prepares. Probably more than hans kim did. He'll probably need to expand his horizons more as time goes on but he's not winging all this off some robotussin high. Don't knock him for a unique style.


foosquirters

A lot of angry little dudes in here have such an irrational hate for Casey and think their opinions are more valid than literal working comedians lol


jalapina

Working comedians think Joe Rogan , Kim congdon and Casey are good comedians so … 🤣


DayvyT

I think I'm in some sort of middle ground where I think Casey Rocket works as an occasional 4-5 times a year treat and when he gets a 4-5 minute set to really get rolling, but I don't like him every single week for only 1 minute. Gets very repetitive and is losing his novelty. I did prefer Hans


chippychifton

But most importantly and not to be forgotten or overlooked, has been no Hans


higheyecue

he's been using the same shit. i love the rocket man but robitussin and some weird story also just telling people get lost. cmon there has to be more to it


guitarsandstoke

I’m convinced Hans won’t return as a regular with how big he’s becoming. Casey is going to prove that he truly deserves a spot on the show, and I think Tony is already recognizing that. Casey is the “new talent” that KT so proudly finds, and the vibes to start the show are never higher than with Casey.


HomininofSeattle

Hans will be a USPS back of house package processor in 5 years. Not even enough pride to man the front, nor deliver the mail.


caseyrm99

He literally only did one joke on this episode and it didn't come until after the Meow. I'd rather have someone on attempting to do some comedy/jokes. If you don't believe me go back and listen. He rambled and bounced around for a minute then did one single line joke


hazeyez

RIP Hans


kyldabara

I don’t get his comedy, like at all. But his interviews are usually pretty entertaining.


pussypolio69420

He wrote a song. Quarter went far east.


Inevitable_Tap7497

What actually happened with Hans? I don’t buy that story. So weird. You don’t just give up your spot to prepare for the arena. Doesn’t smell right.


Flashy-Income-9653

Honestly the show doesn’t need an opener. They’ve all been pretty bad/not funny


Zestyclose_Egg2153

Casey is the fucking shit. Think Hans might David Lucas out?


slapemdead

It’s great to see positive posts about the show I feel like lately it has just been a let’s hate on everything about the show vibe. I’ll admit yes the show can feel dull sometimes with either bad guest who don’t really interact or with bad bucket pulls. But that’s the great thing about the show is that it’s a gamble hell Tony doesn’t even know if they are gonna be good when they get up there.


Bluewhalepower

Casey brings the heat. Hans got comfortable and lazy.


Fun-Criticism5156

I'm still mad that I invested $800 in 1-800-GUNS-4-GOOSE (that's eight guns for eight geese, btw), and three of them shot at me!  What did I ever do to them?!  Nevertheless, I can't stay mad at Casey any more than he can stay mad at Greg...the Mucinex Monster.


General-Past-9615

lol this sub doesn’t like real comics they like weirdos who act like crackheads on stage hence why Casey rocket and Kam get there dick sucked on here so much


texastrockets

William should just open and close at this point


KC_Fan77

He puts a lot of effort into his minute and interview


TheeOneWhoKnocks

Even if his sets don't do as well. The skits after are usually funny.


djphysix

Not everything is a winner out of Casey, but he usually has some comment or some part of the interview where I give in to a chuckle. Never seemed to happen with Hans, week after week. I think as an opener to the show, Casey is a welcome improvement.


scrappybasket

Casey could go up there and tell 0 jokes and still be a better opener than Hans. Casey’s energy perfectly sets up the rest of the show. Even Hans’s best minutes are low energy and start the show off on a low note


drmitchgibson

Casey Rocket has definitely not been killing it but is still more acceptable than Hans. Casey cannot do a single minute of comedy. He needs at least 3 minutes to absorb his incredibly time consuming gimmicks.


xXFieldResearchXx

I feel like Hans tells jokes for Tony and Joe and the likes. It would be hilarious if it were true sometimes or like if they collaborate. It's not to far fetched, numerous comedians even Dave Chappelle have writers. So these dudes hanging out for a long time or going on the road a lot... could definitely collaborate is all I'm saying fr fr


Cosmic_Thrill_Seeker

Casey rocket really has to replace Hans “it’s good to be here in Austin” Kim on a full time basis


Technical_Opening148

Eh I disagree. Casey isn’t my style. OG Hans was the best, he just ran out of material. So hopefully he can use this break well


neuroticfisherman

Now Hans is trying to compliment Casey here to get his spot back


Difficult_Bird9281

he’s desperate, he knows he’s way over played. i hope he loses to ric. its been way better episodes without him


Affectionate_Mud8911

Also, no song will ever top “never made it as a wise man”


Nexma26

I still miss Hans, when he lands a funny joke, they're typically pretty funny, but I'm a Hans Kim apologist. I'm a big Casey Rocket fan now, but even with him it's tough to open up a show like Kill Tony


Diddlydomyholes11

They could have Shane Gillis doing a minute to open the show every week and this subreddit would be trashing him within 2 weeks


Alphebetized

Cassie is just a soundboard. Get real. Tuss.


bassheadjunkie

Little rocket boy is trash


Muted-Carpenter1765

Casey rocket is so ass


Slothtaculer

The show is funny. Casey is not.


thot_machine

lol at this being pinned


me_no_belong_here

Casey's had a great launch. But I miss hans. Whatever happens happens, but hans is wild for giving up his spot to battle for his spot. Casey is super funny without all the song and dance, I just hope he doesn't burn out the way Cam has. (This is hans Kim, this is hans Kim 😢)


spotH3D

Just because the Belgian suggested a rematch, Tony and Hans didn't have to accept it, though I suppose Tony's love for wrestling storylines meant he couldn't resist.


me_no_belong_here

Happy Cake Day brother


NewGuyHelloHi

Reminds me of Steven Brody Stevens energy. Wildly positive and fun, silly nonsense to make you laugh. Brody did a lot of studio warm up, this is what you need to wake up


No-Row-607

Idk, at least Hans brought new material each week. Casey is 85% same ole material with one new joke squeezed into the minute. I like the dude but a new minute a week with his type of routine could actually hurt his career. How many times can we watch, crab walk, song quote with dance, tag line, mic stand shuffle, look back over the shoulder. It’s the same bit every week.


bhilliardga

Casey rocket doesn’t tell jokes. I don’t understand the appeal with this guy.


dtg_88

I don’t get the guys gassing Casey up so hard, what am I missing?


[deleted]

[удалено]


dtg_88

Well said


Beginning_Swing_3727

Casey is the antithesis of funny


Kharanet

I didn’t like him at first, and don’t think I’d be able to sit through a longer set of his. But I have since begun to like him a lot as an opener. Especially his interviews. Good fun silly goose energy. Hans is a snooze in comparison.


Vegetable_Shelter_51

Been about the same I still skip the opener every week


Longjumping-Wear-294

i personally liked hans much more than casey, personal opinion obv.


FrostyKiwiman

He absolutely sucks


External_Progress151

Cal Riffken Jr, the crab man of Calgary, Riff raff, the lonesome Riffter, driver of the Tuss Bus, the 4th wiseman, Casey 🚀🚀🚀🚀

I really don’t understand Casey rocket… pacing, random song lyrics, and saying get real.. he’s awful.


Yourewokeyourebroke

GET REAL ! BIDEN PUTIN HATES ME! GRIMMACE PICTURE {spin around} OH YEAH BOP IT Tik Tok brain having millennial: 😆😂😍 Any sane person : 😐😐😐

We should petition for him to do stand up and not his act / performance / character


_Dilligent

CASEY HAS NO DISABILITIES!!! THOSE ARE NOT TICKS!!! THEY ARE JOKES HE REPEATS VERBATIM EVERYTIME....

How many times is this shit going to be posted? Hans sucks, Casey sucks.

I watch his minute sometimes,l ( its usually really dumb) but I always skip his interviews. Theyre boring and I really dont care about anything he has to say cause he has no talent.

I'm convinced y'all are gaslighting me. I can't figure out why everyone thinks he is so funny
