Joe Pera: Slow and Steady, Joe Pera: Slow & Steady | Full Comedy Special
cubes for my fuckin boys
Joe Pera's resounding "damn dude!" in response to the guy saying he just chills in the relationship entirely sold me on this. Being so surprised at the guy's reaction, to break character was one of the funniest bits I've seen in quite a while.
Very sad that Adult Swim was too stupid to continue his show, but I'm very glad we got this special out of it (also me getting to meet him while he was on tour).
Unfortunately, deep down I've got the sense that I'm the type of guy whose wife dies young.

Joe Pera is the special friend everyone wishes they had in their life, though scarce are those who are brave enough to it it. If you can get through this whole special without feeling as if your heart has been coddled and laid down to rest by the softest hands in the world, can you truly be considered human? Maybe you're harboring some sweet bovine ignorance of your own.
Don't worry Joe, you're not alone. I've always wanted a pet cow too.
Joe Pera says “I can make you cum” 🤷🏼♀️ 5 stars.
I appreciate that Joe Pera’s act is founded on calmness and dry tranquility but never slips into using the good feelings those qualities invoke in his audience as a crutch. Pera nor his material are “wholesome,” meaning euthanizingly positive, but instead honest. He strikes at an optimistic chord not based in patronizing “healing” or “growth,” but in acceptance that our lives despite their many contradictions, dead ends, and chasms of guilt are still our lives. He never lets that underlying sense override the comedy either, thank god. He’s hilarious, with one-of-a-kind delivery and unmatched monologuing. Sentimental, sure, but willing to smash that wall down for a laugh whenever. There’s no attempt to make the character some kind of paragon. When…
Watching the end credit scene of folks’ hands touching the giant ice cube felt tantamount to a religious service and I’ve spent all night debating if Joseph Pera did that on purpose or not 🧊
