Comedian Joe Zimmerman made something special with Cult Classic. Directed by Nate Bargatze and filmed in Asheville, North Carolina at The Grey Eagle, Zimmerman's debut one-hour comedy special covers the story of a murderous owl, the evolutionary upside of depression, the unacknowledged courtesy of ghosting, and the strange morality of David and Goliath. Watch now so you can remember it later as the ultimate cult classic!

Frankie, my building super
The staff and baristas and friends at Kinship, Mighty Oak, and Chateau Le Woof where I did most of my writing over the last few years.
I've watched this no less than 10 times. It's so underrated.
Funny, I fell asleep at 8pm and now I’m watching this special at 3am 🤷♂️
awesome set! i definitely want more of this comedian
Check out his album 'Smiling at Wolves' 💜
Super Funny & Clean - which is refreshing!
OMG that ending killed me! First time seeing this guy but loved it.
This is such a smart set, great delivery! 💯
*Saved to Comedy Playlist*
Up to 3 birds as of today! Wooo 🥳 where my fellow birders at?
Which species?!
@@zimmermancomedy you’re not going to believe it, but it was a cinnamon-breasted tody-tyrant! So far I’ve got chickens, peacocks, and the tody
That's an incredible list!@@dahheelerboy congrats on the insanely rare Tody ❤🔥And a peacock and chicken in the wild is nothing to sneeze at.
Here 🎉
😂😂Been laughing on my walk listening to Joe’s set, and also chilling with my Oregon bird choir, song sparrows, spotted towhees, Black-capped chickadees, and Dark-eyed juncos! ❤
I really, really really like this guy. Funny Smart. A career! I hope as one person to another, that he/you Joe has/have more happy times than sad. KEEP GOIN' JOE! We know you have to put up with some weird lodgings - but quite sure you're a rising star. I'll happily pay to leave my house and come see you.
super chill and loved the style of jokes
Nice set. Really like the delivery
Fantastic
Great work Joe, lots of laughs
Ugggh this short set every Tuesday is LITERALLY KEEPING ME GOING!
I sometimes put stand up comedy to fall asleep to. Of course it doesn’t work when the comedian is this funny! Found a new great one!!
Ok you are Brilliant Laughed so Much! Thank You!
Great show
I am tough on comics. Usually switch within minutes. I LOVE THIS GUY ❤
Absolutely fantastic special ❤
This is so funny start to finish! My favorite new comedy special! And #@*% the early people!
So good nice job joe, I'll be looking for you!!
Wow I miss being a kid! Brilliant set!
Great set! And just as funny the second and third time! ❤
Good Shit
Hilarious, definitely sharing this on!
Thanks, Joe!!! 😀-*
Nice work Joe Z!!
So great 😂
Good stuff! I'm glad I clicked! I'll keep an eye out for you!
The depression set was 🤌🤌
Good writing. All clean and still had good momentum.
So droll. He has a great delivery. Good show.
Very funny, enjoy the birds 😊
Love this guy!
Sorry I missed this show!
"Lady Riddling" is too real hahaha! Hilarious special, Joe!
Great, just great
very well done
Pretty good brah!
He is funny!
Funny! 🇧🇪
great spesh!
Evening level comedy. The type you can listen to before bed, and fall asleep reassured about current comics.
Holy shit... you got me with the JWST joke! I didn't see that coming! Not too many comics doing cosmology jokes!
JWST = James Webb Space Telescope Cosmology = the science of the origin & development of the universe Glad Joe Zimmerman's jokes don't require research. 😏
@@factsoverfiction7826 ha. I think I was more amused by the premise of the joke rather than the punchline itself. And yes, I have the geeky hobby of following this subject. Come on comics more jokes about the universe we all reside in! 😛
So good!😂😂
25:28 Yes, horoscopes are BS, but does anyone remember charting their "Bio-rhythm" for a quarter in the movie theater lobby in the 70s?
Yes for the love of god we need to stop ladyriddling
At first I was like, "eeehh." I was too depressed to lift my hand and switch content, though. I'm really glad I was too depressed. 👏🙌
For all you complaining that Joe is late to everything, his apology was in advance, which means he still got to it before you did, so now you're late. complain about yourself.
I've been sitting here waiting...
This is an awesome show... and I've only seen the last 8 minutes, and first 2 minutes so far.
I don’t get it
I apologize in advance to the early people who are immediately offended by the first joke. I DO respect you and your time, and I am SORRY. I have been arriving earlier since being yelled at for this joke.
Fuck whoever complained. Now you gotta apologize for everything people are mad at or no comment will mean something
Fuck em if they can't take a joke😂
They can all eat Penis
Asheville is the western most liberal area in North Carolina. Come to the mountains west of Asheville and nothing affects us.
A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
😎 AF FUNNY, Joe Z!!!!! 😂-*
Why have I always been 40 😂
Oh I love Zoe Zimmerman. He's such a great comedian 😅
this is some good shit too
I wonder whether Gary Gulman was first with the dehydration water fountain countdown bid or not.
I hate classics, but I'm a sucker for a good cult. Let's see how this goes.
I wish they'd post the performance DATE. Great set, but it's a ReRun. I can only Thumbs Up the same gig so many times...
Ok I honestly thought I was losing my mind, I knew most of the jokes but the date stamp was last week which I know I didn't watch this last week. Thanks for restoring a little bit of my sanity.
You are the right kind of wrong. So funny😊
❤ it
Oops im sorry i came here for joe list xD
You know I am watching this for the second time and I am enjoying it even more. No, I am not on weed😂
Early riser but late to the chat.. what did I miss.
I had to stop watching this on the train because I was shaking and laughing out loud
Relatable
Guy used two jokes I have, but NOT on stage, so not theft. Mine on lateness, goes “late people like me don’t respect our own time. That’s why we goof off and are late.”
Mr Rodgers comedy for grown ups ❤
Joe List vs. Joe Zimmerman Both guys are Heavyweights
He was actually funny
Lauryn Hill will definitely love the Early bit
Free Tibet!
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣👏👍❤

10:31 Femsplaining: v. an elaborate description of a man’s actions or speech which ascribes intentions, meanings, and emotions that are absent or so deeply unconscious the man has no idea they existed.
repost but still funny
It's new to me.
37:14 If you're the time traveling assassin, you don't have to kill a baby. You can travel back right to the time s/he became a real POS!
Incredibly subtle ~and I thought I'd hate this guy. . . every joke actually, works! Like a 90s Buick sedan. A brown boring one, but it just happens to fly.
I can't believe at the time that I'm watching this there were 24,278 wrong people here before me?!? 722 likes on 25k views, wtaf
😊
Wasn't the baby Hitler/time machine bit a Ricky Gervais thing from 2 or 3 years ago?
He did do one, but several comics over the decades have similarly done twists to killing Baby Hitler.
Plenty?
Laugh tracks?
This was way funny, but the adverts literally made me pay for Premium again. Nothing disrupts a special like double adverts every 4 minutes.
Solution: ad block browser
@@amsterdam9290 , I used to pay for Premium. Thinking about doing it again.
is there another service to stream that isnt youtube? these ads are getting so bad
Bro you are not kidding. The scary stuff is I’m positive they are watching us. If I leave my phone alone playing then as soon as I pick it up an ad starts.
Get KZhead revanced or create your own revanced with the Revanced manager tool
800lb Gorilla needs to back off the laugh button.
Why is 800 PG releasing a special Joe already released 4 months ago?
Wildly guessing: Because it's still funny.
@@factsoverfiction7826 This YT page claims to only put out original content that they paid to have produced. The amount of reposted or completely unfunny stuff in the last 2 month is wild.
It gets more eyes on it, so who cares why?
just didnt like that guy
Did this show actually happen? Why this canned laughter???
I can’t even tell
Brilliant. You should come up with a stage name. I’ve been told I’m original so I’m thinking, J-Z. And for anyone that thinks that sounds like, Jay-Z, it stands for J through Z…Geez, have some common sense!
Great comedian. The canned laughter is annoying.
@zimmermancomedy, It was very clever how you got away with 2 owl puns without being hacky. I see what you did there. 😉 You are very talon-ted, sir. I sal-hoot you. 🫡
😂
