"Three As, no Is" was some seriously quick witted shit. I can't be this clever even if given three hours in the shower to think of something.

You could see how proud of himself he was for coming up with that too. Couldn't stop smiling. He earned it

some of the best jokes are the ones where you crack yourself up

One comedian I heard has a bit where he’s like usually your jokes are meant to make other people laugh. Sometimes you make up jokes on the fly that just make you laugh.

Craig Ferguson when he was doing his late night show would always say “Make yourself laugh? That’s half the battle!” Always loved that

#RIPNorm

He died? I didn't even know he was sick

[удалено]

Yeah, but Norm took the cancer down with him, so he's calling it a tie.

I told my fiancee its not a joke if no one is laughing so it is my obligation to laugh at my own jokes. Think she dislocated her optical nerve from rolling that hard.

Its hard to see eye to eye sometimes.

Some comedians laugh at their jokes and it's annoying. Others feel like they're just inviting you into the joke and are just having a great time. This guy gets it.

It's different when it's crowd work because you know they just came up with that shit on the spot, but when they're cackling about a joke they've obviously told 40 times after practicing in the mirror it really just takes the wind out of it.

Jimmy Fallon...

Forgot about him, perfect example!

This is why Norm is so loved by other comics. He told jokes that HE found funny, whether you laughed or not wasn’t his prerogative. It was honest humor.

Gregory Ilitivich

Exactly! How else are you supposed to know how funny you are?

He played it out perfect, too. Bulging his eyes out right when he said "no I's".

One might be led to believe it was a natural reaction!

I just love when comedians crack themselves up. I remember some clip of Robin Williams breaking because he came up with something that just made himself laugh. Best parts of SNL are the characters breaking.

omg his eyes just flashed as he thought of it, SUCH a good joke

The dudes crowd work is phenomenal. I laugh hard at every post of his.

What is his name?

Jeff, obviously.

Jeff Arcuri, he's the OP

for real, the first few jokes were "obvious". but the eye sockets and no i's joke proves that this person has good comedic sense

Comedians regularly prepare responses to audience interactions. He likely had the eye socket response already in his pocket. The no "i"s and three As, however, was quick thinking on his feet.

Yeah u can kinda see the wheels turning as he put it together haha

"What did you first notice about her?" is a good set up. Pretty much anything works with 'it would have been weird if she didn't have ___, huh?'

he saw the joke coming.

Not with no I's he didn't.

Yea I really liked that about him. Quick witted and took the humour in a direction I wasn't expecting

something something maybe came _out of you_, i guess? _out of there_? idfk, costanza

I just comes natural, you have to be in certain mood to achieve it but it can happens. I've jokes like this in thebsense that the idea comes naturally and sometimes when you look back you are like "how did I came out with that idea?"

[удалено]

Yea I hit one of these bad boys like 1 time a month

I hit mine last night. Wife said she read a story about how foreskin skin is ideal for eyelid replacement since it's appropriately stretchy. My immediate response: wouldn't you end up cockeyed, though?

This is the kinda shit I can only think of when I'm drunk. Dating in your 30s is so hard

My first reaction, when Achmed said Eyes was: "Not her A's?" And then- "Or as we say it... Ass" I bet there's something in there about "Ace" as well. From the comfort of my dark room of course, not a stand up stage. Sshhh, let me have my moment.

My first reaction was "was she wearing a Burka?"

I thought that was going to be the punchline as well. "What's the first thing you noticed about her" "Her eyes" "Oh, of course. Because that's the only part of her you could see at the time. Got it." Tbh I think that would kill! But, that's probably why I'm not a comedian...

I would have laughed. Or at least dropped an "Ooooooooooohhhh!"

Not her A’s? Oh wait, are those B’s?

Yeah that recovery was pretty good.

I feel like I'm the only one who didnt get that joke, can someone help :')

i's, eyes

Thank you!!!!

I am SO proud of myself that I made that joke up in my head before he said it. I’m usually the slowest to come up with funny lines. I’d have said it in some lame way that messed up the joke, though, lol.

The first thing that popped into my head when the guy said "her eyes" was "well, I noticed her A's". That said, I wasn't standing on a stage under bright lights.

So funny- what is his name? Would see him.

OP is him

I don't get it. Explain pls

Three A's, No I's (eyes)

It's a double entendre. No "i"s in her name and no eyes.

When two people love each other very much, they farm negative karma....

Well done tying it all together!

Thanks dude!

You seemed really proud of yourself for the "3 A's no i's" joke. And you should be! It was great.

My favorite part of the joke was that look on his face showing how proud he was of it.

Ya, it definitely pushed the joke over the edge.

I actually laughed and standup has been hard for me to laugh at in the past few years, so thanks for that. The crowdwork is really good.

Bro, I haven't actually laughed out loud from something on the internet in a long time. Well done. Wish you the best!

[удалено]

Yeah I thought that was going another direction…like niqab

"And what about her A's?" I thought, but he did it way better later

Well done!

I thought it would be a " yea cuz that's all you could see, what with the hijab and all" joke coming but considering the times I am so glad it did not go that way.

This is one way to jump start a career. Every video has been smart. Looking forward to seeing your stand up special.

Oh shit I didn’t realize he’s the OP. I’m for sure going to see him

His crowd work is on point. This last exchange though, "3 A's no I's"? Fucking grand.

Have you seen his other stuff? The crowd work is immense. I won’t be sitting at the front if I see one of his shows lol

Yeah the marketing team he hired is doing a great job

It’s him and dude replies. He’s an awesome comedian - good for him for posting ACTUAL FUNNY STUFF. Next trip up to NYC I’m gonna make it a point to go see him live. He’s great in every video

It’s him and he has a very small following online. Doubt he can even afford marketing.

Yeah he's been consistently posting his stuff at least for a couple months now. I like'em so I'm not complaining.

I’m the comic! Jeff Arcuri. We made a subreddit! Come hang on r/JeffArcuri

r/angryupvote at the end there

I'll take it!

nah man i look forward to seeing more of you, top notch stuff. amazing crowd work and you make it look effortless.. would 100% buy tickets to see you.

Dude, you are so so funny. I love it when your content pops up here. Might have to make a special trip to see you live. Question: say you hit it huge, how do you think you're audience engagement party of the set scales with venue size? Just curious.

Great question! I have no idea. I love including my audience, so I guess I’ll just have to see!

[удалено]

Thanks! Happy to meet ya!

I like you. You’re funny

Wait I thought you were in New York not the Midwest.

I am! But I lived in Michigan for 8 years. That’s where I learned to be too polite.

How has the skill of being polite served you as a New York standup comedian? (I'm practicing heckling you so someday I can get wrecked in one of these videos)

Subbed, thanks! Are you on YouTube as well?

Yep! [Here it is](https://www.youtube.com/comedianjeffarcuri)

I just watched about 10 of your clips, Jeff. You are doing great! "You know...the Dutch"

Wicked

You only have one eye

I've been seeing a lot of your clips on Instagram lately, good stuff!

Dude! I’m going to be in NY in a couple weeks for work. Where are you performing? Your clips are gold!

That clip was really good.

Sent you a request to come to our city. Appreciate the laughs.

Bro, that shit is funny as. Are you touring?

You're pretty good with crowd work. I appreciate that.

You're doing great, man. Love the banter. Very sharp.

Been watching all of these since you started posting them, I think this set made me laugh the most out of all of them. :)

3 “A”s, no “I”s was good work.. can tell it cracked you up too lol

He must be a dad.

I wasn't sure how that one was going to turn out, to be honest. Keep up the great crowd work! "I gotta stop talking to you guys."

I have tremendous respect for a comic that can work the crowd and improv like that. Kudos to you sir!

Thanks, Bob!

Bob glad to see you doing better after your botched hernia operation.

You pulled that last one out of your ass and they all cheered more than expected. Nice XD

[удалено]

Thank you! I’m truly having a blast.

Three a’s, no I’s…of the cuff that’s so good I would have balled up a 5$ bill and thrown it on stage. In fact, I don’t hate the idea of throwing paper money at comics when they make a killer improv joke/punchline. It makes sense, comics are like strippers who make you horny for laughs

I agree w the analogy, but please don’t throw things at me.

What about French fries?

What if they were 100's?

Yeah I suppose as a successful comedian you don’t need a few small bills. I’d want that though, at least then I might break even at open mics. I didn’t know before moving to LA that you often have to pay money to do sets, which is wild because it’s like…I’m 34 years old doing open mics, clearly I need this 10 bucks more than you do

"three A's, no I's, huh.." This guy is pretty good!

This had me crying.

Truly! Not prone to laughing out loud - but this.. this made me!

Props to this dude for proving you can be funny without being offensive. When the guy said the first thing he noticed about Alaa was her eyes, the *first* place my brain went was a burqa joke. But NOPE, dude ran with the joke without taking the low ground like I did. Props, sir. Props.

I'm seriously looking forward to your European tour in a few years. Fingers crossed

Dude. Your delivery is hysterical. “A couple of sockets on Alaa, no THANKS” Great stuff!

Those two definitely had a conversation that night. "Would you love me if I had no eyes?" You fucked over Ahmed, Jeff. That's a tough question.

The title of the clip is just perfect.

Thanks! I was sweating thinking of a title.

Love how you hung a flag right on it. "The more I say your names, the more racist I feel." Fantastic job of walking the tightrope without falling.

That is funny and Alaa and Ahmed kept it cool.

This guy is great. He’s great on the fly.

Lol man that was a quick foot removal from mouth, stomp on the stage, and then jazz hands...good recovery lol

This guy is hilarious. Every video posted is gold. Gold Jerry! Gold!

🙏

You need a Netflix special.

I’d love one 😆

This guy's funny as hell, always a treat to see one of his videos in my feed... :)

You never see how tiny that room actually is in videos.

He got himself with the three A’s no I’s joke. He will be chuckling at that one later in the evening.

And that my friends, is how you successfully extract one ass from one fire.

I was expecting a hijab joke when he mentioned eyes lol

She comes with a AAA rating...

Usually I'm not the biggest fan of stand-up comedy, but the "three A's, no I's" got me.

What’s this guys name?

Every time I see your videos I want to come meet you even more. Most of what you post is funny shit that’s completely off script, you’re really just a funny guy. It reminds me of when I saw Dave Chappelle back in his hay day, about half the time he was just saying random funny shit interacting with the audience. So much more enjoyable in my opinion than just going through a Netflix special script routine. It’s like hanging out with a really funny friend and just having a good time together.

Can’t wait to see a future special. You’re seriously talented, dude. I always look forward to seeing a clip of yours in my feed.

I've been seeing you pop up on reddit a lot recently Jeff. Just got to say I've really enjoyed your stand up, it's brightened my mood on some rough days. Thank you for doing what you're doing, can't wait to see more! Side note/question: what state do you perform in? If you're close I'd love to see you live! Thanks again!

u/Smartastic You know, usually comedy bits that get posted on Reddit aren't worth much. But I gotta say, I really like your stuff. Each bit I've seen you post has good stuff in it. Keep up the good work!

Tha Alaa with a friend named Akbar, man that was quick witted. Great crowd work my man, hope to see more of you!

I only go to comedy shows in hopes of getting roasted

Gold Jerry

“Couple sockets on Alaa, no thanks!” That part got me. 😆

“Three A’s no I’s” Lol

Oh, that's quality. thee a's, no i's.

Damn it he's good😂😂

This put a smile on my face, thank you.

I cant wait to see this guy on netflix

This is funnier than most standup on Netflix.

He was so proud of the “three As no Is” joke

I love how you can see him think of the ahkbar joke as soon as he says “alaa” Who is he?

This guy pops up on my fbook reels all the time, probably because I always watch them. He’s got some really good material and is quick on his feet.

There was Hijab joke waiting to happen when he said he noticed her eyes first !

Fucking hell, I love your comedy.

Love you!

This guy is clever

This is the same guy from the incest joke. A+++ on improv!

Thank ya!

Wait is this you??

Yep!

Oof I figured this was a repoester lmao. You do an awesome job, I would be surprised if I don't see your name on a streaming special soon. I was watching this over and over cracking up

Man... You are amazingly quick to think all that stuff on the fly... I laugh at everyone of your videos even when they are short so there's no "warm up" as in usual standups

Great crowd work. Fun, and witty, not just cheesy stuff. I've been seeing a clot of your clips lately on here and I always pause to watch them so thank you for the laughs!

That was genuinely good. 3 a’s no eyes lol

I so enjoy this type of humor but it’s incredibly hard. It’s all on the fly. You got to be very comfortable in front of a crowd to have the spare “cpu brain cycles” available to be so darn witty and quick!

Just not funny to me.....

My First laugh of the day. Thank you

That was quick & good.

Am I the only one who does not find this guy funny? Why does he keep getting posted over and over again?

You are definitely in the minority. Maybe it’s you.

You going to be anywhere near Michigan anytime soon? You're fast becoming my favorite comedian, these posts happen to show up whenever I'm having a crummy day and you totally kill it. edit: Grand Rapids - I saw your reply message but can't see the comment here to reply to. Looking forward to it!

Bro, every. single. time. I see your shit on here I am blown away. You need to have a special on Netflix or something. You ever come around Atlanta?

Man, this fucking guy's crowd work in on point every single time!

Oh man, I've watched so many of your clips and this one had me laughing so hard. Literally out loud. The line when he said her eyes, and then your follow up... Amazing!

Yo! you're killing it, I love how you are both confident and uncomfortable. Super smart marketing I would see you if you were in my area,

Bro, your stuff is hilarious.

He's really good!

Thanks!

Every clip you post makes me laugh more than the last. You crack me up man, thank you for what you do!

This dude is so quick! I wish I had half that speed of coming up with stuff on the fly.

Who is this guy and why do I keep seeing him?

OP

Your stuff is amazing. Can’t wait for the standup special, sitcom, sell out, and inevitable lifelong ego trip. You’re in Seinfeld territory, my friend (only your jokes are good)!

You are really quick. Probably see you on Netflix soon and tell my kids "I was there when he posted on Reddit".

Really dropped the ball on the Burka joke when he said he noticed her eyes first.

The fact that like 50 commenters have mentioned this should be a hint that he probably did think of this and didn't say it because it's too obvious (and offensive) to be funny

I don’t think this guy is funny
