1
00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:03,060
(laughter, applause)
2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,560
- Four decades of laughs
3
00:00:04,630 --> 00:00:07,030
From the world's biggest comedy event.
4
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:10,040
Welcome to our star-studded anniversary celebration,
5
00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:12,510
Just for laughs 40.
6
00:00:12,580 --> 00:00:17,240
We begin with great britain's finest, jimmy carr.
7
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:18,850
- Thank you.
8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,110
Sure, sure.
(applause)
9
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:24,590
Beautiful! Thank you.
10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,990
Thank you! We made it.
11
00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:29,820
Thanks very much, everyone.
12
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:32,990
(crowd cheering)
13
00:00:34,330 --> 00:00:36,860
Being here for the 40th
anniversary of just for laughs
14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,930
Is a dream come true,
15
00:00:38,930 --> 00:00:40,530
For you, I'm guessing.
16
00:00:40,570 --> 00:00:42,000
(laughter)
17
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,110
Though canada is not in
the strictest sense a monarchy,
18
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:47,640
You've shown your support
for the royal family
19
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,810
By also allowing yourselves
to be led
20
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:52,680
By the unqualified children
of former rulers.
21
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,610
(laughter)
22
00:00:56,250 --> 00:00:57,680
(applause)
23
00:01:01,690 --> 00:01:04,960
And don't get me wrong,
I love canada's current leader.
24
00:01:05,090 --> 00:01:07,430
The world's most handsome,
inspirational,
25
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,700
Occasionally black
prime minister.
26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,570
(laughter)
27
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:18,240
Yeah, it's true.
28
00:01:18,370 --> 00:01:20,240
It's true.
Trudeau was so desperate
29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,980
For canada to be diverse,
30
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,980
He was even willing
to do blackface.
31
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:29,250
Just for laughs began
40 years ago,
32
00:01:29,290 --> 00:01:32,390
Of course, back then,
canada was run by trudeau,
33
00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:34,790
And the white house
was inhabited by
34
00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:36,520
An ancient senile man.
35
00:01:38,030 --> 00:01:39,830
So much has changed.
36
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:46,400
Montreal is famous
for two things:
37
00:01:46,470 --> 00:01:48,670
The just for laughs
comedy festival
38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,300
And only being famous
for one thing.
39
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:57,240
(laughter)
40
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,950
The next act
is katherine ryan,
41
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:03,620
She's a canadian.
(cheering)
42
00:02:03,620 --> 00:02:06,290
Yeah, yeah.
43
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:09,820
Now, katherine ryan proves
that women can be
44
00:02:09,860 --> 00:02:13,930
Just as funny as men
and at a fraction of the cost.
45
00:02:18,430 --> 00:02:20,230
I'm not slut shaming,
46
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:22,640
But katherine
is the only woman I know
47
00:02:22,770 --> 00:02:24,100
To have completed tinder.
48
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:29,780
I'm joking. Katherine recently
49
00:02:29,850 --> 00:02:31,640
Married her childhood
sweetheart.
50
00:02:32,850 --> 00:02:35,650
Yeah. It sounds cute,
but really what happened was
51
00:02:35,650 --> 00:02:38,850
She fucked literally everyone
she'd ever met
52
00:02:38,890 --> 00:02:40,520
And had to go back round.
53
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:46,390
Please welcome my dear friend,
the hilarious katherine ryan!
54
00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:49,260
(applause)
55
00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:55,870
(indistinct chatter)
56
00:02:55,870 --> 00:02:57,200
(♪)
57
00:02:57,210 --> 00:02:58,440
- Oh...
58
00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:01,540
Thank you!
59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,740
Jimmy carr, everyone!
60
00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:05,480
(crowd cheers)
61
00:03:05,510 --> 00:03:08,080
Oh, gorgeous man.
62
00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:09,880
When I look at jimmy carr's
new hairline,
63
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:12,350
I realize where kim kardashian's
old one went.
64
00:03:12,490 --> 00:03:13,750
(laughter)
65
00:03:15,090 --> 00:03:17,420
His laugh is the reason
his parents never tickled him.
66
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:18,890
Aw...
67
00:03:20,130 --> 00:03:21,490
(applause)
68
00:03:21,530 --> 00:03:23,900
Sad. It's very sad.
69
00:03:25,630 --> 00:03:27,900
But it's wonderful to be back
in canada tonight.
70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,170
Bonsoir, montréal!
How are you?
71
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:31,240
(cheering)
72
00:03:31,310 --> 00:03:32,770
Oh, my goodness.
73
00:03:34,210 --> 00:03:37,780
I enjoyed coming here last time,
I was a single lady,
74
00:03:37,850 --> 00:03:40,180
I had the great privilege
of empowering a generation
75
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:41,310
Of young feminists
76
00:03:41,380 --> 00:03:42,920
To say you don't have
to fit into the traditional
77
00:03:42,950 --> 00:03:43,980
Shape of a family,
78
00:03:44,020 --> 00:03:45,850
You are enough,
and then, as jimmy said,
79
00:03:45,850 --> 00:03:48,260
Recently, I got married
like a stupid whore.
80
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,990
It was not my fault, I bumped
into my high school boyfriend.
81
00:03:53,130 --> 00:03:54,800
He will always be my first love,
82
00:03:54,930 --> 00:03:58,130
He will always be the second
dude I lost my virginity to.
83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,940
And he was looking good,
also canadian.
84
00:04:03,070 --> 00:04:04,970
And so, when I saw him,
I knew that I wanted
85
00:04:04,970 --> 00:04:06,870
To bang him for a laugh.
86
00:04:08,810 --> 00:04:10,940
That's right, for a laugh.
87
00:04:10,950 --> 00:04:13,280
That's why everyone loves
canadian girls.
88
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:15,950
In my defence, I thought
he was already married.
89
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:18,150
(laughter)
90
00:04:21,090 --> 00:04:24,020
But we got along so well
that he followed me back
91
00:04:24,030 --> 00:04:25,560
To london where I live now.
92
00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:27,160
A lot has changed in my life.
93
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:30,400
Now, we have two children
and one on the way.
94
00:04:30,530 --> 00:04:32,500
I am factory
for straight white men.
95
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:33,870
(applause)
96
00:04:36,170 --> 00:04:37,770
I'm disappointed in myself.
97
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:39,970
Until I met my high school
boyfriend and fell back
98
00:04:40,010 --> 00:04:40,770
In love with him,
99
00:04:40,910 --> 00:04:42,440
It was just my daughter violet
100
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,380
And me against the world,
101
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:45,780
For a decade, and she is 13 now,
102
00:04:45,850 --> 00:04:47,310
So we're no longer friends.
103
00:04:49,050 --> 00:04:51,990
"can't do that, mummy, can't say
that, can't wear that."
104
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,790
She criticizes my clothing,
like I'm not spending my life
105
00:04:54,860 --> 00:04:56,690
Snatching crop tops
out of her wardrobe
106
00:04:56,690 --> 00:04:57,990
So she doesn't leave my house
107
00:04:58,030 --> 00:05:00,060
Dressed like a waitress
on epstein island.
108
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:01,290
That's my life now.
109
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:05,530
It's very difficult.
110
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,130
Is anyone else harbouring
a teenager?
111
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,800
(cheering)
ugh!
112
00:05:11,170 --> 00:05:13,440
It's like having greta thunberg
in the house, isn't it?
113
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,810
How are you gonna save
the planet when you leave
114
00:05:16,850 --> 00:05:19,010
Enough lights on
to land a plane, babe?
115
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:22,220
Everything I do is wrong.
116
00:05:22,220 --> 00:05:24,280
"do you know what your problem
is, mum? You're a karen.
117
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,290
You're a karen."
118
00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:29,490
I'm a karen? I'm...
I'm a very progressive person.
119
00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:32,060
Karen, if you haven't been
called this in your own home,
120
00:05:32,190 --> 00:05:34,230
Is a meme started in america.
121
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:35,900
You know, there'd be
a nasty lady, middle-aged,
122
00:05:36,030 --> 00:05:37,360
Short blond haircut,
123
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:39,830
She'd be kicking off in a
walmart refusing to wear a mask,
124
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:42,500
Calling the police on
a black child's lemonade stand.
125
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:46,710
Now, you tell a child you own
to clean a room in your house,
126
00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:48,710
You're a karen.
And you can't complain
127
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:49,910
About being called a karen,
128
00:05:49,980 --> 00:05:51,940
'cause that's exactly
what a karen would do!
129
00:05:53,650 --> 00:05:56,180
You just have to take it
like a bitch.
130
00:05:57,950 --> 00:06:00,720
I really love the baby.
The baby is one year old.
131
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,320
He just turned one.
He is breastfed,
132
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,730
But he will only
take the milk in a bottle
133
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:07,660
Chilled in the fridge,
134
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:11,130
Probably due to the high white
wine content, I don't know.
135
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,670
I love my current husband
so much so far.
136
00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:18,810
I love him so much so far.
137
00:06:18,940 --> 00:06:21,140
Though my marriage
has been very oppressive.
138
00:06:21,210 --> 00:06:23,010
As soon as I married,
I wasn't allowed
139
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:24,480
To see my friends anymore.
140
00:06:24,610 --> 00:06:28,080
I couldn't go to work,
I had to cover my face,
141
00:06:28,220 --> 00:06:30,350
I'd gone full taliban
overnight.
142
00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:34,290
And I love him, but I haven't
been married that long.
143
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,820
See, I have a girlfriend
in london,
144
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,160
She's been married 30 years,
145
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:38,690
And she said something
that scared me.
146
00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:41,360
She said, "katherine, the other
night I saw a funny-looking
147
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,230
Mole on my husband's back,
148
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:45,570
Decided not to tell him."
149
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:48,000
(laughter)
150
00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:55,710
She's like, "we'll let those
chips fall where they may."
151
00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:00,910
As a newly married woman,
152
00:07:00,980 --> 00:07:02,780
I really hope
this is not my future.
153
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:05,520
I didn't think there were
female murderers, by the way.
154
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,850
But I see you ladies,
you're just very
155
00:07:06,990 --> 00:07:08,920
Passive-aggressive
about it, aren't you?
156
00:07:08,990 --> 00:07:11,220
Yeah, yeah, I slowly took
the vegetables out of his diet,
157
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,590
Upped the sodium, 12 short years
later, the house was mine.
158
00:07:16,530 --> 00:07:17,800
Thank you so much, montréal,
159
00:07:17,930 --> 00:07:19,670
It was so nice to come
see you again! Good night!
160
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,000
- Next. Please welcome canada's own,
161
00:07:23,010 --> 00:07:24,940
Russell peters.
162
00:07:25,010 --> 00:07:26,670
- Thank you, why thank you!
163
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,810
Thank you.
164
00:07:28,540 --> 00:07:30,340
Thank you, guys.
165
00:07:31,010 --> 00:07:33,310
Bon sour! Um...
166
00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:35,550
40 years of just for laughs.
167
00:07:35,550 --> 00:07:37,820
I've been coming to this
festival for 26 years now.
168
00:07:37,850 --> 00:07:39,820
And the first time
I played the festival,
169
00:07:39,890 --> 00:07:43,790
They didn't pay me,
they didn't fly me in
170
00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:45,260
And they didn't put me up.
171
00:07:45,330 --> 00:07:47,090
I'm not even sure if
I was part of the festival,
172
00:07:47,130 --> 00:07:47,890
In all fairness.
173
00:07:49,330 --> 00:07:51,500
Anyway, look at me now,
I'm back year after year,
174
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:54,230
And trust me,
I make them pay now.
175
00:07:54,370 --> 00:07:56,240
I do, I do.
176
00:07:56,370 --> 00:07:57,940
(cheering)
177
00:08:00,340 --> 00:08:02,840
There's a reason your tickets
weren't free, you know?
178
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:07,250
This montreal-born comedian's
success is an inspiration
179
00:08:07,250 --> 00:08:10,050
To every canadian comedian
that if you're talented,
180
00:08:10,090 --> 00:08:12,220
Work hard and have persistence,
181
00:08:12,220 --> 00:08:15,620
That one day you too can be
introduced by me.
182
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,790
(laughter)
183
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:19,930
Please welcome my good friend
miss caroline rhea!
184
00:08:19,930 --> 00:08:22,060
(♪)
185
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,330
(cheering)
186
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,470
- Hi, everybody!
How are you?
187
00:08:32,540 --> 00:08:33,940
Hi!
188
00:08:36,010 --> 00:08:40,350
It's so nice to be in montreal
since I am from montreal.
189
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:43,220
(cheering)
I know, it's very exciting.
190
00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:45,890
I live in los angeles,
everyone always comes up to me,
191
00:08:45,950 --> 00:08:48,090
They go, "oh, my god, your face
is so full, caroline,
192
00:08:48,220 --> 00:08:51,420
What kind of filler do you use?
Is it restylane?"
193
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:53,430
I'm like,
"um, it's mostly fudge."
194
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:55,960
And uh, yeah.
195
00:08:56,030 --> 00:08:57,960
With a little vanilla,
right here.
196
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,170
And then some rocky road.
197
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,240
I live in a 100-year-old house.
198
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:04,170
It's ridiculous, everything
is wrong with it.
199
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:07,970
I feel like a very sick old man
married me for my money.
200
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:10,710
Um, no, he's like
a very old man,
201
00:09:10,780 --> 00:09:13,710
Like the foundation,
it's not hard anymore, okay?
202
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,250
(laughter)
203
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,690
There's barely any wood left.
204
00:09:23,460 --> 00:09:26,190
It takes forever for any liquid
to come out of the pipes.
205
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:28,160
You know what I mean?
It's just like, come on!
206
00:09:29,130 --> 00:09:30,860
So now that the pandemic
is sort of over,
207
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:32,730
I've decided I want
a full facelift,
208
00:09:32,770 --> 00:09:34,600
So I went to a plastic surgeon,
they were like,
209
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,870
"did anyone recommend you?"
and I was like,
210
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,140
"yes, zoom."
211
00:09:37,270 --> 00:09:38,770
And um...
212
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:42,580
'cause you know what happens
sometimes,
213
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:44,680
Women get like a second vagina
in their neck, I know,
214
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:45,750
That's terrible,
215
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,550
But they do!
And honest to god,
216
00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:50,080
I'm not using the first one
enough to need a backup. I...
217
00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:56,360
So, the plastic surgeon
literally goes like this,
218
00:09:56,390 --> 00:09:58,090
He takes my stomach and then,
I swear to god,
219
00:09:58,090 --> 00:09:59,230
He moonwalked for about
five feet.
220
00:09:59,260 --> 00:10:00,530
He was just like this.
221
00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:02,100
And he goes, "it's not gonna
snap back,
222
00:10:02,230 --> 00:10:03,430
There is no elasticity."
223
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:04,900
I'm like, "well, could you just
walk it back,
224
00:10:04,970 --> 00:10:06,770
'cause this is horribly
awkward, okay?"
225
00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:14,170
I asked a doctor, I go,
"why does sex hurt so much,
226
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,910
Besides the fact that
I hate my boyfriend?"
227
00:10:15,940 --> 00:10:19,650
And um, she said,
"because as you age, you know,
228
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,650
Your vaginal walls get thinner."
229
00:10:21,650 --> 00:10:24,380
I go, "are you serious?
I exercise six times a week.
230
00:10:24,450 --> 00:10:27,320
The only part of my body that's
getting thinner is my vagina?"
231
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:29,320
(laughter)
232
00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:33,730
The only...
No one is seeing that!
233
00:10:35,860 --> 00:10:37,400
No one is walking down
the street going,
234
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,000
"her vagina seemed much heavier
on television. It's tiny!
235
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,340
She's doing a kegel right now."
236
00:10:44,340 --> 00:10:46,270
I get hit on by young men,
it's ridiculous.
237
00:10:46,270 --> 00:10:48,540
I can't sleep with anyone
who could ask me if the cat
238
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:49,480
Was real from sabrina.
239
00:10:49,610 --> 00:10:51,410
That's my rule. And I...
240
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,080
Yeah.
241
00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:56,850
I have standards!
242
00:10:58,220 --> 00:10:59,820
Anyway, this young guy
that I was going out with,
243
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:02,090
He was like, "I want you to send
me a picture of your boobs."
244
00:11:02,220 --> 00:11:03,820
And I was like...
(laughter)
245
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,590
It was funny, right?
I know you all do it,
246
00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:08,030
But it's a ridiculous
concept, okay?
247
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,100
So I said, I kept on saying,
"you want me to send you
248
00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:12,100
A picture of my naked boobs?"
249
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:13,800
And he's like, "yeah."
250
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:18,240
Okay, so I sent him
my mammogram, and um...
251
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,210
Yeah, it got rid of his lump.
And it is...
252
00:11:29,220 --> 00:11:32,450
It is so much more difficult
253
00:11:32,590 --> 00:11:34,190
To take a good picture
of your boob
254
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:35,190
Than you can imagine.
255
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,620
Okay, men, I don't care what
you're thinking,
256
00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:37,790
But honest to god...
257
00:11:37,930 --> 00:11:40,060
Because, first of all,
if you take it up from up here,
258
00:11:40,060 --> 00:11:42,260
You have like 18 chins,
you're like...
259
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,400
So I was like, okay, so then,
at first, I was like...
260
00:11:46,530 --> 00:11:48,430
I lay on the bed.
The boobs were on the nightstand
261
00:11:48,470 --> 00:11:50,070
In one second.
262
00:11:50,110 --> 00:11:51,470
One second!
263
00:11:51,470 --> 00:11:53,540
One was reading a book,
the other's making a phone call.
264
00:11:53,540 --> 00:11:54,910
I was like, come on!
265
00:11:56,210 --> 00:11:58,280
It was like bad children trying
to take a christmas card,
266
00:11:58,410 --> 00:12:00,480
One was forward, one was back,
then they switched,
267
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,820
I was like, come on, girls!
268
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:05,620
Finally, I had to text him
and say,
269
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:08,620
"I'm sorry, I'm going to have
to send them one at a time."
270
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,420
(laughter)
271
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:14,130
Thanks very much, hometown!
Appreciate you!
272
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:17,960
(♪)
273
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,940
- Greetings, just for laughs!
274
00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:28,570
Oh, I can't even believe
it's the 40th anniversary.
275
00:12:28,610 --> 00:12:29,810
Uh...
276
00:12:30,980 --> 00:12:33,650
I mean, my time in montreal
277
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,450
Just for laughs was
so incredible, because...
278
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:39,650
I'd never been
to montreal before
279
00:12:39,650 --> 00:12:42,190
And I had no idea
280
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:47,060
That your delis are spectacular!
281
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,060
Why didn't anybody tell me that?
282
00:12:50,070 --> 00:12:52,000
You know, I'm a young comic,
struggling.
283
00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:57,140
If I had known I could've flown
north for corned beef,
284
00:12:57,140 --> 00:13:00,410
For a pastrami, for a nosh,
for a knish...
285
00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:03,540
Tremendous.
286
00:13:05,550 --> 00:13:06,750
Thank you.
287
00:13:06,780 --> 00:13:08,410
And thank you for the laughs.
288
00:13:10,090 --> 00:13:12,080
But mostly,
thank you for the knish.
289
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,020
(♪)
290
00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:21,230
(♪)
291
00:13:21,260 --> 00:13:24,030
- Everyone knows that the road
to success in american comedy
292
00:13:24,030 --> 00:13:26,570
Runs through canada
for some reason.
293
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,230
Does anyone understand why?
I'm confused.
294
00:13:28,370 --> 00:13:30,100
Uh, no, no, it's an incredible
festival.
295
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,710
I got my start there at...
New faces, 20 years ago.
296
00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:38,040
I can't thank the folks
at just for laughs enough.
297
00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:40,050
It's the best comedy festival
in the world.
298
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,320
Uh, you all do an amazing job.
299
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,380
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
I will keep coming
300
00:13:44,450 --> 00:13:46,450
For the rest of time.
301
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,890
Over to you, tommy!
302
00:13:49,660 --> 00:13:51,620
- Thank you! It's uh...
303
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,800
I was always going
to be doing this.
304
00:13:55,930 --> 00:13:57,630
You know, I was always gonna be
travelling around.
305
00:13:58,830 --> 00:14:00,400
I lived in loads
of different places.
306
00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:02,470
I'm travelling the world
as a stand-up comedian.
307
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,410
Standing the world
as a travelling comedian.
308
00:14:05,410 --> 00:14:07,740
Travelling the world as
a stand-up comedian. Fucking...
309
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,880
Standing the travelling world...
310
00:14:10,950 --> 00:14:13,450
(indistinct)
311
00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:17,680
Yeah, yeah, it's all
falling apart now.
312
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:19,150
(laughter)
313
00:14:21,790 --> 00:14:23,960
Look at the state of me.
314
00:14:25,860 --> 00:14:28,430
I have a hairline
like the former yugoslavia.
315
00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:35,570
It's breaking up into a series
of independent republics.
316
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,200
(laughter)
317
00:14:39,470 --> 00:14:40,970
I don't care about my health.
318
00:14:41,510 --> 00:14:42,910
I don't care.
319
00:14:42,940 --> 00:14:45,240
Like every man in this room
over the age of 40
320
00:14:45,310 --> 00:14:47,250
Has at least one thing wrong
with him that he's keeping
321
00:14:47,380 --> 00:14:49,450
To himself
in the hope that over time,
322
00:14:49,580 --> 00:14:51,050
It will clear up
of its own accord.
323
00:14:53,050 --> 00:14:54,650
And I'm no different.
324
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,460
I've had a case of itchy hole
now for about nine months.
325
00:14:57,490 --> 00:14:58,890
(laughter)
326
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:02,800
And it'll not get
the better of me, it'll not...
327
00:15:02,830 --> 00:15:05,200
I'd rather die scratching
than give into it.
328
00:15:05,270 --> 00:15:07,100
It'll not get
the better of me!
329
00:15:07,870 --> 00:15:08,900
I've gone into the bathroom,
330
00:15:08,940 --> 00:15:10,200
I've gone through
the wife's stuff
331
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,340
To see does she have a tube with
itchy hole written on it?
332
00:15:12,370 --> 00:15:14,070
But she doesn't!
333
00:15:14,140 --> 00:15:16,080
I've gone to the market
on a Saturday to ask
334
00:15:16,110 --> 00:15:17,480
The mystery tramp from clare,
335
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,210
Does he have a special leaf
I could put on,
336
00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:20,680
But he doesn't.
337
00:15:20,820 --> 00:15:23,480
If you think I'm going
into a pharmacist...
338
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,950
And some pretty little woman
behind the counter...
339
00:15:27,090 --> 00:15:29,620
And if you think
I'm going to her...
340
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,790
...And saying, "do you have
anything for an itchy hole?"
341
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,830
You've another thing coming.
342
00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:41,770
She'd just about stopped herself
from laughing,
343
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,900
But she'd pressed the button
she has under the counter
344
00:15:43,940 --> 00:15:46,240
And all the other pretty
little pharmacists
345
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,510
Will come trotting down...
346
00:15:48,940 --> 00:15:50,980
To see who the filthy monkey is.
347
00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:56,980
You get older, you have to get
certain procedures done.
348
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,920
Had to get me prostate checked.
349
00:15:59,990 --> 00:16:04,120
You know, my wife was going on
and on and on and on about it.
350
00:16:04,260 --> 00:16:06,630
Eventually, I said, "okay",
and I went down...
351
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:08,890
Went down to the local doctor,
she's a country girl.
352
00:16:09,830 --> 00:16:11,230
She grew up on a farm.
353
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:14,400
She didn't wash her hands,
she spat in them.
354
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,070
(laughter)
355
00:16:19,210 --> 00:16:21,010
She says, "come on, will we
horse into this?"
356
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,880
I says, "okay, okay."
357
00:16:22,940 --> 00:16:24,410
She says, "drop the baggage."
358
00:16:24,410 --> 00:16:27,480
So, I undid the belt,
took down the trousers
359
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,750
And the boxer shorts,
360
00:16:28,820 --> 00:16:31,450
Stood there, stiff as a plank...
361
00:16:32,650 --> 00:16:34,620
With me dignity
around me ankles.
362
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,290
Still... Butt cheeks clenched
tremendously.
363
00:16:40,630 --> 00:16:43,560
Still maintaining some sort
of say over entrances and exits.
364
00:16:45,270 --> 00:16:48,370
But she was a white witch and
she was working for the devil.
365
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,740
(laughter)
366
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:54,340
And she knew how to open me up.
367
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,640
(applause)
368
00:16:57,710 --> 00:16:59,350
She says to me,
"lie up there on the bed."
369
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,880
You know, the bed they have
at the doctor.
370
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,650
So I lay up on the bed,
on me side,
371
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,380
Still stiff as a plank,
372
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:06,920
Butt cheeks clenched.
373
00:17:08,290 --> 00:17:10,660
And then, as if it was the most
casual thing in the world,
374
00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:13,530
As if there were going to be
no consequences to it at all,
375
00:17:13,530 --> 00:17:18,060
She says, "now, tommy, just pull
your knees up to your chest."
376
00:17:19,730 --> 00:17:22,200
Sure, it sounded harmless
enough, didn't it?
377
00:17:22,770 --> 00:17:24,200
So off I went.
378
00:17:25,140 --> 00:17:26,340
(laughter)
379
00:17:28,940 --> 00:17:31,680
It was only when I got to her
desired destination
380
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,010
I realized how truly evil
she was.
381
00:17:36,650 --> 00:17:37,620
'cause that just opens up
382
00:17:37,650 --> 00:17:39,350
The whole shooting gallery
right there.
383
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:42,920
It's very hard
to defend yourself...
384
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,560
When you're holding your knees
up to your chest.
385
00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:47,830
And then she got her finger...
386
00:17:48,930 --> 00:17:51,360
She got her finger
and drove it into me.
387
00:17:52,430 --> 00:17:56,170
Not even out of common courtesy
or manners
388
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,440
Did she spend a few minutes
just tickling me sphincter!
389
00:18:00,010 --> 00:18:01,210
(laughter)
390
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,580
Just to get a bit
of a buzz going. No!
391
00:18:04,650 --> 00:18:06,310
Straight in!
392
00:18:07,050 --> 00:18:08,580
Straight in!
393
00:18:09,650 --> 00:18:11,650
And when there
was her finger inside me,
394
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,720
She said one of the most
frightening things
395
00:18:13,790 --> 00:18:16,050
I have ever heard in my life.
396
00:18:16,090 --> 00:18:18,620
Her finger is in me
and she says,
397
00:18:18,660 --> 00:18:20,630
"just accept it, tommy."
398
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,660
(laughter)
399
00:18:30,270 --> 00:18:32,000
But I was so scared.
400
00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:35,370
I said to myself,
"no, tommy, don't.
401
00:18:36,940 --> 00:18:39,040
Don't just accept it."
402
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,350
So, I pushed her finger
back out again.
403
00:18:42,350 --> 00:18:43,820
(laughter)
404
00:18:46,090 --> 00:18:48,690
She must have thought it was
a game we were playing.
405
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,360
She drove it back into me!
406
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:54,190
I pushed it back out!
407
00:18:54,260 --> 00:18:55,630
For the next half hour,
408
00:18:55,630 --> 00:18:57,830
We're driving in, pushing out,
driving in...
409
00:18:57,870 --> 00:18:59,930
Ah, it wasn't too bad
in the end, I suppose,
410
00:19:00,070 --> 00:19:01,330
I kind of...
411
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:04,570
I go quite regularly now.
412
00:19:05,770 --> 00:19:07,710
Montreal, it's been a pleasure
talking to you.
413
00:19:07,740 --> 00:19:09,070
Thank you very much!
414
00:19:10,110 --> 00:19:11,640
(applause)
415
00:19:12,380 --> 00:19:14,110
(♪)
416
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,320
- Hi, I'm jimmy kimmel
417
00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:20,990
And I would like to wish
a happy 40th anniversary
418
00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:22,450
To just for laughs.
419
00:19:22,490 --> 00:19:25,520
I first visited montreal
for the festival
420
00:19:25,530 --> 00:19:29,000
Almost 25 years ago.
It was the most fun.
421
00:19:29,130 --> 00:19:33,200
And it is the best comedy
festival in the whole world.
422
00:19:33,230 --> 00:19:36,740
And I often wonder why
I was never invited back.
423
00:19:36,870 --> 00:19:38,800
But happy anniversary.
424
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,610
And now, in french.
425
00:19:41,610 --> 00:19:42,910
Bonjour.
426
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:45,080
Well, that's really all I know.
427
00:19:45,110 --> 00:19:47,050
(♪)
428
00:19:55,060 --> 00:19:58,560
- Please welcome just for laughs veteran, nikki glaser.
429
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,830
- I deserve that!
Thank you so much!
430
00:20:01,830 --> 00:20:03,500
(cheering)
431
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:06,470
Thank you!
432
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:10,370
Thank you, thank you!
I deserve that.
433
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:14,440
Thank you, montreal.
It is so great to be back here.
434
00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:19,340
Can you believe it has been
40 years since covid started?
435
00:20:20,980 --> 00:20:23,920
It feels like... It seems like
100 actually. But this uh,
436
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,320
This year is
jfl's 40th anniversary.
437
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,190
It's 40 years old and just like
most 40-year-olds,
438
00:20:30,190 --> 00:20:32,460
It's considering vaginal
rejuvenation surgery
439
00:20:32,490 --> 00:20:35,260
And regrets not freezing
its eggs five years ago.
440
00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:38,130
But about the festival,
not many people know the story
441
00:20:38,130 --> 00:20:41,130
Of how the festival began.
So, the story is,
442
00:20:41,140 --> 00:20:44,400
Back in the 80s, there was
a very enterprising young man
443
00:20:44,470 --> 00:20:47,270
Name jean-guy
juste pour rire and...
444
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:49,070
(laughter)
445
00:20:49,140 --> 00:20:51,610
Am I saying that right?
And he noticed
446
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,280
That a few of montreal's streets
just weren't under construction.
447
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,680
And he said,
448
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,150
"I think I know
a way to clog them."
449
00:20:59,150 --> 00:21:02,960
So, he hired a handful
of acrobats and mimes
450
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,490
And he set them loose
on the road.
451
00:21:04,490 --> 00:21:06,560
And the first festival was born.
452
00:21:06,590 --> 00:21:08,160
And in the beginning,
the festival,
453
00:21:08,230 --> 00:21:11,430
It was just a couple days long
and there was no english.
454
00:21:11,430 --> 00:21:13,770
So in other words,
it was parfait.
455
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,040
Um, parfait is, of course,
french for "fancy yogurt."
456
00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:20,310
But...
(laughter)
457
00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:22,310
Today the festival
is a worldwide phenomenon
458
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,580
That boasts a line-up comprised
of the biggest names in comedy
459
00:21:25,610 --> 00:21:27,850
Who don't already have
a better-paying gig,
460
00:21:27,980 --> 00:21:30,180
And that's...
That means something.
461
00:21:30,220 --> 00:21:31,450
And that's why I'm here,
actually,
462
00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:33,450
Because carrot top
is in vegas, but...
463
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,720
And props to him for that,
literally.
464
00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:38,790
I'm so excited
for this performer.
465
00:21:38,930 --> 00:21:41,130
He worked as a painter
in Italy before opting
466
00:21:41,260 --> 00:21:43,060
To pursue a career
in showbusiness,
467
00:21:43,060 --> 00:21:45,730
Following, actually, in
the footsteps of michelangelo,
468
00:21:45,770 --> 00:21:48,200
Who famously gave up painting
the sistine chapel
469
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,200
To become a ninja turtle.
470
00:21:50,270 --> 00:21:53,670
So please welcome one
of the funniest people I know,
471
00:21:53,710 --> 00:21:57,340
He puts the "gay" in gala,
it's matteo lane!
472
00:21:57,380 --> 00:21:59,140
(cheering)
473
00:21:59,180 --> 00:22:01,410
(upbeat music)
474
00:22:06,550 --> 00:22:09,690
- Hello.
Bonsoir, montréal.
475
00:22:09,690 --> 00:22:11,420
(cheering)
476
00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:14,230
I've actually spent
a lot of time in montreal
477
00:22:14,230 --> 00:22:16,560
And I really just wanted
to say something nice
478
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,030
About this beautiful city
and so, if you'll allow me,
479
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:21,500
I'd like to sing this song
to you.

535
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,700
- Hey, just for laughs,
happy 40th anniversary.
536
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:43,440
Wow. Congratulations.
It's your girl wanda sykes here,
537
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:47,440
Just taking some time
from my vacation in cannes
538
00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:49,110
Because I can.
539
00:25:49,140 --> 00:25:50,380
(chuckling)
540
00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:53,850
Don't pan, it's just a camera
person trying to do too much,
541
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,580
Ain't nobody asked you to pan.
542
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,650
Anyway, just want to say happy--
of course, that was alex.
543
00:25:59,790 --> 00:26:02,390
But anyway.
Happy anniversary, I love you.
544
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,990
Thank you all for
so many great memories
545
00:26:05,130 --> 00:26:08,660
And I can't wait to make more
of them with you.
546
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,600
Big love, muah!
547
00:26:10,730 --> 00:26:13,400
Gros bisou, merci beaucoup.
548
00:26:13,430 --> 00:26:17,340
And... Joyeux anniversaire!
549
00:26:17,340 --> 00:26:19,400
(cheering)
quatorze.
550
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,810
(woman): Quarante. - Quarante!
551
00:26:21,810 --> 00:26:24,340
See, getting involved again.
(chuckling)
552
00:26:32,020 --> 00:26:34,490
- Hello everyone!
It's me, trevor noah.
553
00:26:34,490 --> 00:26:36,960
I just wanted to say
congratulations to you all
554
00:26:37,020 --> 00:26:39,830
On the 40th just for laughs
festival.
555
00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:42,090
It's an amazing accomplishment
for both the organizers
556
00:26:42,130 --> 00:26:43,630
And the performers because,
you know,
557
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,760
Comedy doesn't always age well.
558
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:47,570
But your comedy festival has.
559
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,370
Yeah, but seriously,
don't let anybody see the jokes
560
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,300
In 20 years, just burn the tapes
for your own protection.
561
00:26:51,370 --> 00:26:52,900
Uh, to the new faces,
562
00:26:52,910 --> 00:26:54,970
I hope you can experience
what the festival is all about,
563
00:26:54,980 --> 00:26:57,580
The love of performance
and stunting as hard as possible
564
00:26:57,650 --> 00:26:59,240
On everyone back
in your local scene.
565
00:26:59,310 --> 00:27:01,780
And to the networks and the reps
and the agents in attendance,
566
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,780
For the love of god,
buy something!
567
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,720
Don't just say,
"oh, I loved your set."
568
00:27:05,850 --> 00:27:08,650
Get that person a deal or at
the very least, buy them a meal.
569
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,790
But seriously, congrats again,
good luck
570
00:27:10,790 --> 00:27:13,190
And remember not to fill up
on poutine before your set.
571
00:27:13,230 --> 00:27:14,990
I did that once.
It did not end well.
572
00:27:17,060 --> 00:27:20,430
- Here's windsor's own, dave merheje.
573
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:25,200
- Um, I know most of you
don't know who I am.
574
00:27:27,010 --> 00:27:29,140
I'm here because I'm ethnic.
575
00:27:29,140 --> 00:27:31,140
(laughing)
576
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:34,610
Russel peters is here
because he's russel peters.
577
00:27:34,750 --> 00:27:37,620
I'm here because I'm lebanese.
578
00:27:38,690 --> 00:27:40,490
Not even a dope lebanese,
I'm catholic,
579
00:27:40,550 --> 00:27:41,950
Like nobody gives a shit.
580
00:27:42,020 --> 00:27:43,290
(laughing)
581
00:27:43,420 --> 00:27:45,560
Catholics...
Everybody thinks I'm muslim.
582
00:27:45,590 --> 00:27:48,690
And they get jacked, they're
like, "yo, are you muslim?"
583
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:50,760
I go, "nah," and
then they just walk away.
584
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:52,100
(laughing)
585
00:27:52,130 --> 00:27:54,570
And they're like, "you got this
beard though, man,
586
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,240
You got this beard.
You're muslim."
587
00:27:56,370 --> 00:27:58,100
I go, "nah, I was just
depressed."
588
00:27:59,370 --> 00:28:01,170
The truth is I was depressed and
I had sex with a girl
589
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:03,240
And she goes,
"I like this beard on you"
590
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,040
And I've kept it ever since.
591
00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:07,250
I was like,
"I'm not going back."
592
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,310
I honestly just
want to say though,
593
00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:10,650
From the bottom
of my heart, man,
594
00:28:10,690 --> 00:28:13,250
Is that just for laughs,
you know, I watched
595
00:28:13,290 --> 00:28:15,190
Just for laughs
when I was a kid, you know,
596
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,920
Lebanese kid and I got to be
in this festival in 2011
597
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,590
And ever since then, man,
598
00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:23,730
I've been coming back and
I mean it from my heart that
599
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,270
They've helped my career
and they've helped elevate me
600
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,200
So I just want to say
I love you, because it's...
601
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,940
(applause)
I mean it, I love you.
602
00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:34,140
So allow me to introduce
chris redd.
603
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:36,610
- Yeah!
604
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:39,010
(cheering)
605
00:28:39,010 --> 00:28:40,480
What's up, montreal?
606
00:28:40,550 --> 00:28:42,480
(cheering)
607
00:28:45,950 --> 00:28:47,550
I don't know
why I'm like this.
608
00:28:47,590 --> 00:28:49,420
I'm trying to figure it out,
I'm in therapy.
609
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,290
I thought therapy
was for white people.
610
00:28:51,290 --> 00:28:54,090
And then I got a little money,
took my first vacation
611
00:28:54,230 --> 00:28:58,030
And I realized, "oh, it's for
people with money. And time."
612
00:28:59,770 --> 00:29:01,700
White people
just had that first.
613
00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:04,970
I knew something was wrong
because I was living
614
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,440
The best day of my life.
615
00:29:06,510 --> 00:29:08,770
I told myself if I ever made
a little money,
616
00:29:08,780 --> 00:29:12,710
I want to live one day like
jay-z in the big pimpin' video.
617
00:29:12,780 --> 00:29:14,850
And if you're not familiar
with that video,
618
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,780
Which I can tell
by some of your faces,
619
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,790
Absolutely not,
I'll break it down for you.
620
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,050
It's about one man, jay-z,
a little bit too old
621
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,790
To be rapping, in miami, having
the best day of his life.
622
00:29:26,790 --> 00:29:29,930
He got champagne,
all his homies, money, cars,
623
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,930
Chains, booty everywhere,
and I love booty,
624
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,870
Especially when it's everywhere.
You know what I'm saying?
625
00:29:37,140 --> 00:29:38,870
And I wanted to do that.
He was on a yacht, doing it all
626
00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:41,010
And I'm like, "I'ma do that."
so when I made my first cheque,
627
00:29:41,010 --> 00:29:42,440
I called on my homies
and I was like,
628
00:29:42,510 --> 00:29:44,210
"yo, we're gonna do
the big pimpin' video."
629
00:29:44,250 --> 00:29:46,680
They was like, "yeah!"
so we went down to miami,
630
00:29:46,750 --> 00:29:49,280
I got all my homies,
got all the girls, the money.
631
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,080
We got a yacht.
I think it was a yacht.
632
00:29:52,150 --> 00:29:53,620
I don't know yachts that well,
633
00:29:53,650 --> 00:29:56,150
But it was a yacht to me
until somebody said,
634
00:29:56,220 --> 00:29:57,760
"this ain't a yacht,
this a boat."
635
00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:59,090
And I said, "walk the plank,
mother f..."
636
00:29:59,230 --> 00:30:02,290
And then he... He's like,
"there ain't no plank on here"
637
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:04,160
And I pushed him.
I ain't never seen him again.
638
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:05,900
(laughing)
639
00:30:06,030 --> 00:30:08,100
But it was the best day
of my life, man.
640
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:10,240
I was pouring champagne,
booty was everywhere,
641
00:30:10,370 --> 00:30:12,040
I was crying real hard
642
00:30:12,070 --> 00:30:14,710
And jay-z didn't do that
in the video at all.
643
00:30:14,710 --> 00:30:18,440
Have you ever cried
next to a woman twerking
with all her might?
644
00:30:18,580 --> 00:30:20,510
It ain't cool-looking,
you know what I mean?
645
00:30:20,550 --> 00:30:22,380
"go ahead girl."
646
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,480
"what's wrong with him?"
647
00:30:27,890 --> 00:30:29,120
So I asked my white friends
648
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:30,520
How they found their therapists,
you know.
649
00:30:30,590 --> 00:30:32,190
And they were like,
"yo, it's like dating, chris.
650
00:30:32,190 --> 00:30:33,660
Sometimes you gotta go
through a few
651
00:30:33,730 --> 00:30:35,430
Until you find the one
that's right for you."
652
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:37,830
And that... That gave me
a lot of anxiety, you know
what I mean?
653
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,470
'cause what if I find
a therapist, a black therapist
654
00:30:40,530 --> 00:30:42,670
Who can speak
to my life experience,
you know what I mean?
655
00:30:42,670 --> 00:30:44,270
And we hit it off,
we have a great relationship
656
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,300
And then all of a sudden,
it gets rocky,
657
00:30:46,340 --> 00:30:48,410
Like all relationships do.
Then we break up.
658
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,610
So I picked deborah.
White, 75, hair on her chin,
659
00:30:51,650 --> 00:30:53,480
She don't know nobody I know.
660
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,010
(laughing)
661
00:30:55,050 --> 00:30:57,150
You can have
all my secrets, deborah,
662
00:30:57,150 --> 00:30:59,080
I'm triggered as hell, dog.
663
00:30:59,150 --> 00:31:01,890
We do not run in the same
circles me and deborah.
664
00:31:01,890 --> 00:31:04,490
My circle rappers, comedians,
degenerates.
665
00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:06,760
Her circle? Dead, probably.
I don't know.
666
00:31:06,890 --> 00:31:08,830
(laughing)
667
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,360
She was the first person
to tell me I had anxiety.
668
00:31:11,430 --> 00:31:13,630
I have anxiety, adhd
and depression.
669
00:31:13,630 --> 00:31:16,100
And I'm black in america.
It's a whole lot going on here.
670
00:31:17,370 --> 00:31:18,840
But she was the first person
to tell me I had anxiety.
671
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,710
I said, "say something else
about me..."
672
00:31:20,740 --> 00:31:22,110
"what you think this is,
deborah?"
673
00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:24,240
She said, "deflecting."
I'm like, "you're right."
674
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,040
(laughing)
675
00:31:27,150 --> 00:31:29,580
All my therapy sessions
have been over zoom
676
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,050
So I'm not sure
if my therapist has legs.
677
00:31:32,190 --> 00:31:34,050
(laughing)
678
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:38,520
Now, I assume she has legs
because a lot of people
679
00:31:38,590 --> 00:31:41,860
I know have legs, but I also
know there's a legless community
680
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,660
Because I'm not ignorant!
681
00:31:44,670 --> 00:31:46,230
Wake up, sir.
682
00:31:47,670 --> 00:31:50,270
There's no visual proof she has
legs, you know what I'm saying?
683
00:31:50,270 --> 00:31:52,600
She's never walked
into a zoom, you know?
684
00:31:52,740 --> 00:31:55,540
She started every zoom settled,
you know what I mean?
685
00:31:56,740 --> 00:31:58,410
And there's no professional way
to ask a woman
686
00:31:58,410 --> 00:32:00,550
If she has legs.
687
00:32:00,580 --> 00:32:02,950
You can't even comment
on the legs they do have
688
00:32:03,020 --> 00:32:04,420
When you see them.
689
00:32:05,490 --> 00:32:07,220
I tried to trick her
one time on a zoom,
690
00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:09,020
I tried to trick her, man.
I tried to act like
691
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,090
Somebody was in her house
so she'd get up to go check.
692
00:32:12,090 --> 00:32:13,460
I was like, "ooh,
somebody's in there."
693
00:32:13,460 --> 00:32:14,690
She's like, "ain't nobody
back there."
694
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,290
I'm like, "damn."
695
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,700
I meet her in three weeks
for the first time in real life
696
00:32:18,830 --> 00:32:23,230
And if she don't have legs,
I have to act like I knew that.
697
00:32:24,410 --> 00:32:26,640
We've all been there,
when you show up
698
00:32:26,770 --> 00:32:28,710
And you see somebody they got
something you didn't expect,
699
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:30,510
You know the rules,
full eye contact,
700
00:32:30,540 --> 00:32:33,650
Don't even look down,
don't even mention legs
until she mentions legs.
701
00:32:34,650 --> 00:32:36,450
And my therapist
can't stand that joke.
702
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,120
(laughing)
thank you all very much!
703
00:32:38,250 --> 00:32:39,720
(cheering)
704
00:32:41,790 --> 00:32:43,690
(upbeat music)
705
00:32:46,030 --> 00:32:48,530
- Hey guys, denis leary here,
happy anniversary,
706
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,860
The 40th anniversary of
just for laughs,
707
00:32:50,860 --> 00:32:53,530
I can't believe it's been that
long and I want to personally
708
00:32:53,670 --> 00:32:56,400
Thank you guys 'cause
you had me there in 1991
709
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,470
When nobody knew who I was and
it was a big success
710
00:32:59,470 --> 00:33:02,740
And that led to no cure
for cancer opening off broadway
711
00:33:02,810 --> 00:33:04,340
Two months later in new york
712
00:33:04,350 --> 00:33:06,080
And selling out
from opening night,
713
00:33:06,210 --> 00:33:08,280
Which really made my career
take off.
714
00:33:08,420 --> 00:33:10,350
And two other career highlights
you gave me,
715
00:33:10,420 --> 00:33:13,890
1997 I came back and I sang
the asshole song
716
00:33:13,890 --> 00:33:17,290
With the leader of celine dion's
band on stage at the gala,
717
00:33:17,420 --> 00:33:18,760
That was huge.
718
00:33:18,890 --> 00:33:20,830
And the biggest,
maybe one of the biggest
719
00:33:20,860 --> 00:33:22,630
Moments of my career,
720
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:25,500
In 2002, when I shared
the stage at the gala
721
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,830
With yvan cournoyer and
phil esposito,
722
00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:30,440
My own mini summit series
reunion.
723
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:32,570
So thanks a lot, guys,
and thanks for letting me play
724
00:33:32,710 --> 00:33:35,110
Ball hockey with you guys
whenever I come to montreal
725
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,980
'cause I believe
I'm a plus five.
726
00:33:38,110 --> 00:33:39,680
(upbeat music)
727
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,020
(upbeat music)
728
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,120
- Next up, a just for laughs favourite, fortune feimster.
729
00:33:52,130 --> 00:33:55,990
- Woo! Montreal,
you're beautiful.
730
00:33:56,030 --> 00:33:59,030
Oh man, we have had a lot
of fun making jokes
731
00:33:59,170 --> 00:34:00,730
At just for laugh's expense.
732
00:34:00,730 --> 00:34:02,870
But she's a big girl,
she can handle it.
733
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,740
But it all comes
from a place of love.
734
00:34:05,770 --> 00:34:08,810
On behalf of every performer
who's ever been fortunate enough
735
00:34:08,810 --> 00:34:11,210
To have been part of
this festival, let me say this.
736
00:34:11,340 --> 00:34:13,810
Nothing compares
to just for laughs.
737
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,420
It's the largest festival in
the world for a reason, right?
738
00:34:18,450 --> 00:34:21,820
(cheering)
yes. That's right.
739
00:34:23,620 --> 00:34:27,360
I made my first appearance
at this festival back in 2010
740
00:34:27,430 --> 00:34:30,700
And I've been lucky enough to be
invited back several times since
741
00:34:30,730 --> 00:34:33,160
With different jokes,
same haircut.
742
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,370
(laughing)
743
00:34:35,370 --> 00:34:37,900
It never gets less special
to be here,
744
00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:41,340
Making it one of the rare things
in comedy that ages well.
745
00:34:41,340 --> 00:34:44,640
I can honestly say,
if not for just for laughs,
746
00:34:44,780 --> 00:34:46,980
I would not be where I am today.
747
00:34:47,050 --> 00:34:52,180
Because where I am today is on
this stage at just for laughs.
748
00:34:52,250 --> 00:34:53,990
(laughing)
749
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:56,220
(cheering)
750
00:34:57,290 --> 00:34:59,660
So from the bottom of my heart,
thank you.
751
00:34:59,790 --> 00:35:02,730
Thank you just for laughs
for 40 years of comedy magic
752
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,730
And I'll see all of you
back here in 10 years
753
00:35:05,730 --> 00:35:08,070
For the 50th anniversary show,
754
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,540
Which I am proud to announce,
I've been booked to appear on.
755
00:35:11,670 --> 00:35:13,270
By me, just now.
756
00:35:13,310 --> 00:35:16,040
(cheering)
757
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,150
So I'll see you in 10 years,
just for laughs.
758
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,010
I will be the one with
this haircut,
759
00:35:22,050 --> 00:35:23,680
It will not change.
760
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:28,150
And now to close out our show,
we have a very special guest.
761
00:35:28,190 --> 00:35:31,290
The only things more beloved
in this country
762
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:35,430
Than this next gentleman
are hockey fights and beer.
763
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,430
So please welcome
the og of canadian comedy,
764
00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:42,430
The goat, rick mercer!
765
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,770
(cheering)
766
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,300
(upbeat music)
767
00:35:47,570 --> 00:35:48,940
- Thank you.
768
00:35:50,380 --> 00:35:51,780
Thank you very much.
769
00:35:55,450 --> 00:35:57,110
Thank you very much!
770
00:35:58,450 --> 00:36:01,590
I know what you're thinking,
my god, what happened to him?
771
00:36:02,460 --> 00:36:04,460
The vaccine did this.
772
00:36:05,730 --> 00:36:08,060
It is so great to be here
for the just for laughs
773
00:36:08,130 --> 00:36:11,200
40th anniversary, what a legacy.
774
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,460
What a legacy!
775
00:36:12,530 --> 00:36:14,200
(cheering)
776
00:36:14,330 --> 00:36:16,470
40 years of creating laughs,
777
00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:20,270
40 years of being on tv
six times a day,
778
00:36:20,410 --> 00:36:23,110
Always after midnight.
779
00:36:24,550 --> 00:36:26,880
But you know, we need
to laugh now more than ever.
780
00:36:27,010 --> 00:36:29,680
I have never seen
our country so divided,
781
00:36:29,750 --> 00:36:32,620
And you really notice it now
that things have opened up.
782
00:36:32,750 --> 00:36:35,750
Extended families are getting
together for gatherings
783
00:36:35,790 --> 00:36:38,360
Or getting together
at events like tonight
784
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,290
And someone's always saying,
"everything is gonna be fine,
785
00:36:41,430 --> 00:36:44,260
As long as we don't talk
about politics.
786
00:36:44,260 --> 00:36:47,370
Everyone's gonna get along
as long as no one brings up
787
00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:49,930
Justin trudeau in front
of your uncle gary."
788
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,910
So, let's not talk about
politics.
789
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,110
Let's talk about something
less controversial.
790
00:36:58,150 --> 00:37:00,080
Let's talk about religion.
791
00:37:00,850 --> 00:37:02,580
Organized religion.
792
00:37:03,380 --> 00:37:04,780
I'm talking about crossfit.
793
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,380
(laughing)
794
00:37:06,450 --> 00:37:07,920
Do you know who's big
into crossfit?
795
00:37:08,050 --> 00:37:09,450
Pierre poilievre.
796
00:37:10,660 --> 00:37:13,190
Yes, the saviour of the canadian
conservative party,
797
00:37:13,260 --> 00:37:15,830
Pierre poilievre.
He says he's doing crossfit
798
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:19,000
To help him prepare
to be prime minister of canada.
799
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,600
Because you never know
in a crisis
800
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,740
When you might have to flip over
a tractor tire in the driveway.
801
00:37:24,770 --> 00:37:26,540
(laughing)
802
00:37:26,570 --> 00:37:29,040
He's wanted to be prime minister
his entire life,
803
00:37:29,180 --> 00:37:31,910
He's never done anything else
but politics.
804
00:37:32,050 --> 00:37:33,950
In fact, there's no evidence
805
00:37:34,010 --> 00:37:36,620
That he's ever actually
held a real job.
806
00:37:37,950 --> 00:37:40,750
And by that, there's no evidence
he's ever done anything
807
00:37:40,750 --> 00:37:43,020
That you or I
would consider work.
808
00:37:43,060 --> 00:37:45,490
There's no evidence
that he ever washed dishes
809
00:37:45,530 --> 00:37:47,830
Or waited tables
or delivered a newspaper
810
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,830
Or shovelled a driveway,
811
00:37:49,860 --> 00:37:52,830
But he says work experience
is not important
812
00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:55,900
Because he has life experience.
813
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:58,370
On his website he's...
814
00:37:58,370 --> 00:38:00,970
The part where he talks about
his real-life experience,
815
00:38:00,970 --> 00:38:04,880
He points out that he's a
long-time member of the legion.
816
00:38:07,350 --> 00:38:09,910
Like he's served in
the military.
817
00:38:09,950 --> 00:38:12,050
Look, I'm a big fan
of the legion,
818
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,050
But just to be clear,
anyone can join.
819
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:17,360
It's like costco.
820
00:38:19,390 --> 00:38:22,190
Of course, pierre has strong
views on which fighter jet
821
00:38:22,330 --> 00:38:24,600
Canada needs to protect
our sovereignty,
822
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,400
After all, he is a member
of aeroplan.
823
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:29,600
(laughing)
824
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,140
Of course, airports all over
the world now are in chaos,
825
00:38:32,270 --> 00:38:34,270
All over the world.
But when it comes to chaos,
826
00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:36,340
Toronto is now number one.
827
00:38:36,340 --> 00:38:37,940
Now don't worry, montreal,
828
00:38:38,010 --> 00:38:40,780
You were certainly in
the running for worst airport.
829
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,080
You came very close, but in
the end, toronto had you beat.
830
00:38:46,350 --> 00:38:48,890
It's a great rivalry
between two storied airports,
831
00:38:48,890 --> 00:38:50,890
Toronto and montreal.
832
00:38:51,020 --> 00:38:53,020
It's like the habs
and the leafs.
833
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,090
And in the end, toronto
will always be the best
834
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:57,630
At being the worst.
835
00:38:57,630 --> 00:38:59,430
(cheering)
836
00:39:03,170 --> 00:39:05,970
But I tell you this,
I feel bad for pearson.
837
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,040
I feel bad for pearson,
not the airport, the man.
838
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,510
Lester b. Person,
canada's 14th prime minister,
839
00:39:12,510 --> 00:39:15,310
He won the nobel peace prize,
for god's sake.
840
00:39:15,350 --> 00:39:18,720
He solved the suez crisis.
He was loved wherever he went.
841
00:39:18,750 --> 00:39:22,190
And now, all anyone says is
"god, I hate pearson!"
842
00:39:23,420 --> 00:39:26,520
"pearson is awful! Everyone stay
away from pearson."
843
00:39:27,730 --> 00:39:29,790
Used to be,
if you googled pearson,
844
00:39:29,830 --> 00:39:31,760
You'd be reminded that
he gave us the flag,
845
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,130
That he got us
universal healthcare.
846
00:39:34,270 --> 00:39:36,870
Google him now, you get page one
of the star saying,
847
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:38,940
"pearson killed my dog."
848
00:39:42,340 --> 00:39:45,280
Having an airport named
after you is a terrible idea
849
00:39:45,350 --> 00:39:46,980
If you're a politician.
850
00:39:46,980 --> 00:39:49,610
So this is my proposal.
We stop naming airports
851
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,550
After politicians
who have done big things.
852
00:39:52,620 --> 00:39:55,690
We name airports after
politicians who've done nothing,
853
00:39:55,720 --> 00:39:57,890
Who just stick around
long enough to get their pension
854
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,360
And then sneak off
to the private sector
855
00:40:00,390 --> 00:40:02,490
Under the cloud of scandal.
856
00:40:02,630 --> 00:40:04,960
Then you can say,
"of course, I'm in a bad mood,
857
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:06,700
I just flew in
to denis coderre."
858
00:40:06,770 --> 00:40:08,730
(cheering)
859
00:40:11,370 --> 00:40:13,040
Astronauts have it
figured out.
860
00:40:13,070 --> 00:40:14,310
They've got it figured out.
861
00:40:14,370 --> 00:40:16,170
They get high schools named
after them.
862
00:40:16,210 --> 00:40:17,380
They all do.
863
00:40:17,510 --> 00:40:20,040
Chris hadfield has a school,
marc garneau has a school.
864
00:40:20,110 --> 00:40:22,350
Even julie payette has a school.
865
00:40:23,250 --> 00:40:25,650
Julie payette
who famously said,
866
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:28,390
"in space, no one can
hear you scream...
867
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,120
At the staff."
868
00:40:33,060 --> 00:40:35,130
(applause)
869
00:40:35,660 --> 00:40:36,660
But...
870
00:40:38,330 --> 00:40:40,930
Do you know who I think they
should name the schools after?
871
00:40:40,930 --> 00:40:42,530
The teachers.
872
00:40:42,570 --> 00:40:45,070
In my book, the teachers
are the heroes.
873
00:40:45,140 --> 00:40:46,340
Are they not?
874
00:40:48,580 --> 00:40:51,340
I could never be a teacher,
especially these days.
875
00:40:51,410 --> 00:40:53,880
In my days, teachers,
they just taught, right?
876
00:40:53,910 --> 00:40:57,350
In the states now, they want
to arm the teachers.
877
00:40:58,420 --> 00:41:01,620
Ever see a teacher
try to operate a vcr?
878
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,760
Do you remember that?
879
00:41:04,790 --> 00:41:07,890
You'd be sitting in class,
dreading the fact that class
880
00:41:07,930 --> 00:41:09,890
Was about to start
and the door would open
881
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:11,830
And the teacher would come in,
but he'd be coming in backwards
882
00:41:11,900 --> 00:41:14,370
And he'd be dragging
that big metal rack
883
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:16,970
With a giant vcr
on the lower shelf...
884
00:41:16,970 --> 00:41:19,040
And he couldn't drive
that thing,
885
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,510
It'd be banging off walls,
886
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,310
Knocking children
out of their seats,
887
00:41:22,310 --> 00:41:24,480
Running over their little legs.
888
00:41:25,510 --> 00:41:27,380
All he's trying to do was
show an episode
889
00:41:27,380 --> 00:41:30,450
Of the nature of things
and children are getting maimed.
890
00:41:31,650 --> 00:41:33,980
They can't arm teachers.
891
00:41:34,020 --> 00:41:36,250
My god, I had a teacher
in grade 3,
892
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,460
Every time she wanted
a window open she would call
893
00:41:39,590 --> 00:41:42,460
For an older boy in grade 6
'cause she couldn't operate
894
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,360
Anything with a latch.
895
00:41:45,930 --> 00:41:48,470
"could someone get
a grade-6 boy in here,
896
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:50,970
I can't get this thing
out of my holster?"
897
00:41:53,810 --> 00:41:56,140
But I would name schools
after teachers
898
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,210
Because a teacher in grade 10
changed my life.
899
00:41:59,250 --> 00:42:02,480
If it wasn't for her, god knows
where I would have ended up.
900
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,650
And you know,
teachers never get the credit.
901
00:42:04,650 --> 00:42:07,620
The only time teachers
get credit, believe it or not,
902
00:42:07,620 --> 00:42:09,090
Is on awards shows.
903
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,020
Right? Actors love
to get up on stage
904
00:42:11,090 --> 00:42:12,220
And get all emotional and say,
905
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,530
"I owe it all to miss brandon."
906
00:42:15,660 --> 00:42:18,160
You never hear that
from people on the stand
907
00:42:18,230 --> 00:42:20,360
Who are being sentenced
to 12 years in prison.
908
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:24,640
"why did I burn down city hall,
your honour?
909
00:42:24,670 --> 00:42:26,900
I owe it all to miss brandon,
910
00:42:26,910 --> 00:42:29,740
Who told me if I can dream it
I can do it."
911
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:34,580
Which is exactly what my teacher
told me and look at me now,
912
00:42:34,710 --> 00:42:38,320
I'm at the 40th anniversary
of just for laughs.
913
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,180
(cheering)
914
00:42:42,660 --> 00:42:44,420
And I...
915
00:42:44,490 --> 00:42:46,920
Please god,
I will be at the 50th,
916
00:42:46,930 --> 00:42:48,930
But I tell ya, next time,
I'm skipping pearson
917
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,200
And flying directly
into poilievre.
918
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,570
(laughing)
919
00:42:56,300 --> 00:42:58,200
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
that is our show,
920
00:42:58,340 --> 00:43:00,470
Thank you for being here and
for watching at home.
921
00:43:00,540 --> 00:43:03,340
Happy anniversary,
just for laughs,
922
00:43:03,410 --> 00:43:05,140
Have a good night.
923
00:43:05,210 --> 00:43:07,610
(cheering)
924
00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:09,210
Thank you very much.
925
00:43:13,090 --> 00:43:15,020
(theme music)
926
00:43:38,550 --> 00:43:40,110
