Hell yeah.

Oh man, it's summertime. I love summertime because my white friends show back up. They go into hiding when it's wintertime and I just -- I miss flexing how good my white friends is like on the internet.

Like all of my black friends and family, they hit me up after I post a story of me on another jetski that I didn't just pay for. And they're like, "Hey, share your white friends with us." And I'm like, "No, nigga. Y'all don't know how to act. Y'all don't know how to act at all."

Like, I got better white friends than white people. Like, what did you do last weekend? (Points to an audience member, no audible response). I was at WrestleMania. All right? I was at WrestleMania because my white friends took me. It was a great time.

So I finally decided to take my brother out to a sandbar party. A sandbar is this thing that happens in the ocean and like a piece of land come up and then you take a boat over there and then you get to claim the land. Right? So I really get to give my brother his forty acres and a mule. Right? (cat meows). I get to really just put it on for him.

And after about forty minutes of arguing with that nigga, he finally took his Air Force 1's off at the beach. Right? Because he looked me dead in my eyes and he was like, "Ain't nobody going to see my toes." Right? And I respect boundaries.

And so this nigga got his socks in the sand. And when you at a sandbar, that when like another group of white people come, you got to fight these niggas to the death. You got to play like beer pong in flip club (?) and the loser got to -- they got to go.

And they was real (sic) happy to have two black friends there, nigga. We held the island the whole day. After -- because like the week before, they was like, "Yo, Dedrick, when you coming out? We just lost six islands. You know what I'm saying? They brought their black friends. You supposed to be here. You know, suit up."

That's my time. I love you.

The comment I didn't understand was "beer pong in flip club". I'm pretty sure that that's what he said. I know what beer pong is but not "flip club".

But another set with NO ATTEMPTS at a logical joke. This was just him boasting. He starts by boasting about going to WrestleMania and moves on to boasting about sandbar fights, whatever the fuck that is. Tony didn't know what it is either.

It's fine to talk about obscure, regional activites but THROW SOME FUCKING JOKES IN. Dedrick doesn't get it. He doesn't know what a joke is. He just rambles.

And this was a particularly offensive set. He shits on black people, saying that they don't know how to behave in polite society, and then brags about all of this upper/middle class white person shit that he's been getting up to.

Dedrick...you're a comedian. Allegedly. Tell some god damned motherfucking jokes. Are you able to do that? WHY is this guy a regular? Who's the audience for this? Self-hating black people? Why would ANYBODY want to hear about how rich this guy is? It's complete insanity.

Go to 17:49. It's Password Plus. The word is "Harry". The contestants give clues "hirsute" and "furry", obviously describing "hairy". Sound-alikes are allowed. One of the contestants guesses "hairy". Tom Kennedy gives it to her (as he should).

The judge then says that "Harry" and "hairy" have different pronunciations so it can't be accepted. Everybody is incredulous. Tom Kennedy, who is not buying this judge's decision, suggests that perhaps in New York they're pronounced differently.

How is it possible? A riot should have broken out over that decision. There was an abrupt edit so I suspect that there was extended debate over this. But in the end, it was all upheld. One of the worst judge's decisions I've seen.

Tony: You're watching one of the great comedians of the future grown in front of your very eyes.

(He's a 13 year veteran)

(Inaudible mumbling) What happened to silly people? Like everybody in this country just want to be upset or the sadness or the madness and I just want to be silly. (Points to a member of the audience). Uncross your arms, nigga. Silly up.

You see what I'm talking about? Why are you -- you didn't come here to have a good time. You (inaudible mumbling). What happened to the silly laughs that used to -- we used to have goofy ass laughs at comedy -- niggas used to be (makes "silly laugh" sound). Y'all don't even do that no more.

Do y'all -- do y'all remember silly Jews? Do y'all remember Jews were the silliest people in America? Larry David and Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman's fine ass. Y'all remember that?

Ari went into the wilderness for a year because he couldn't be silly any more and we just need to just let that out. I don't know why. It's just -- it's just want to say that because I want to do this silly joke real fast that I wrote down, just to get you all in the mindset.

Dating your ex is a lot like re-heating french fries.

All right. I'm going to do the next one.

(Pointing at audience member). Sir, have you ever been hit with the rocketship effect? The rocketship effect. You don't know what that is? That's when you see somebody you think is attractive and they're walking towards you and you're like, "Oh, that's a 10...9...8...7..."

All right, y'all. That's my time. I love y'all.

Comments that didn't make any sense: unsure

He starts off by complaining that people aren't "silly" any more. By this, I think that he means that they're not laughing at his jokes. But that's not an indication of a lack of silliness on the part of the audience, it's an indication of the lack of jokes coming from his direction.

Then he attacks an audience member who apparently had his arms crossed. This audience member may or may not have been disappointed in seeing Dedrick come on stage. But if the person was expressing some kind of displeasure or apprehension, can you blame him? Dedrick sucks.

Then...what the hell...he starts bigging up how funny Jews are. Does he think that this is going to be advance his career somehow? Like Larry David or Seinfeld are going to put a good word in for him? And are Larry David and Seinfeld even "silly" comedians? No. Fucking Carrot Top or somebody would be a "silly" comedian.

He then starts blowing smoke up Ari's ass. Again, very weird. Did Ari leave because he can't be "silly"? I don't think so. But Dedrick is trying to somehow advance his career with these comments.

Then he finally tries a couple of jokes. But there aren't any punchlines. Or setups. I'm not sure which, but one is clearly missing.

It's like he doesn't even understand the concept of a joke. But at least he seems to be TRYING to tell jokes now. It was a horrible attempt and preceded by his usual rambling nonsense that goes nowhere but...at least it was an attempt.

On the the show, he always said "Who WANTS to be a Millionaire". Emphasis on "wants". I could see emphasising "who" or "millionaire" but "wants" always struck me as odd.

I'm not familiar with his body of work. Did he have other weird pronunciation quirks like this? Whenever I did happen to catch an interview or something of him, he always seemed...off.

This set is a earlier draft of the set that he did for the KillTonyMania episode. So I'm going to compare the two. If it's too long for you to read, don't read it. I don't mind.

First, the set from episode 766:

At one point, he was the Dark Storm of Atlanta, now he's the Dark Storm of Austin, soon he'll be the Dark Storm of the Unemployment Line, give it up for the comedy stylings of Dedrick Flynn!

You know, women are going to tell you that other women only want you if you have a girlfriend because women want something they can't have. And I'm here to tell y'all, that's not what's happening. We just look better than single men because we're using your healthcare products in and out of the shower.

Like single dudes look and smell like what happens after years of kicking ice cubes underneath the refrigerator. And then the radiation from the refrigerator melts the ice cubes and makes a certain mold and makes a human body and it's like, "Hey, ma'am, you should smile more."

(cat meows)

Because when I moved here to Texas, I only moved with like single dudes and my skin has been terrible. It ain't -- because we've only got the seven-in-one body wash, right? It's shampoo, conditioner, body wash, Zen juice, Four Lokos from 2009 with the caffeine in it, a DUI, and a domestic battery charge.

Because when you go to a girl's bathroom that's like somebody you want to keep, when you rip open that shower curtain, the products that they got, it looks like Gordon Ramsay's seasoning cabinet mixed with two Southern black ladies. You can do whatever -- they got all kinds of shampoos, they got all kinds of condition --.

Do you know they got a shampoo and conditioner, it's called "purple shampoo" which is just for people with blonde hair or a nigga that got free time. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, that;s all it is. Every girl I ever been with thought I was jacking off in the shower. No, nigga, I was trying everything you had in there.

You know how you used to go to Taco Bell and you would suicide the sodas? Like, you know what I'm saying, you would put every soda in there and see it --. That's me with every product you got, nigga. I used to look glorious.

(Points to an audience member). You know what body wash gel is? (No audible response). What is it? (No audible response). You don't know, you just trying to fit in. This nigga's a liar. This nigga's a liar. They got a gel that's just got glitter in it. Nigga, I used to look like a cheerleader from Bring it On, nigga. I used to look like Gabrielle Union. I used to put all kinds of shit together just to make a smorgasbord of a pretty nigga.

When they used to leave, I used to steal their bath bombs and put it in the bath. You know what a bath bomb is? (Points to an audience member). What's a bath bomb? (No audible response). This nigga want to fit in too. All right. This nigga has no idea what a bath bomb is.

You take a grenade and you put it in the bathtub and it's got colors and glitter and essential oils. Nigga, that is fucking fun as fuck. I don't ever want to be single again. Nigga, I hate being dry.

That's my time. I love y'all.

I'm saying that the comments that didn't make sense are the DUI and domestic battery charge being found in a bottle of body wash, the woman's shower products looking like a Southern black woman, and his awful crowd work where he claimed, bizarrely, that people don't know what body wash and bath bombs are.

So he did this set and then a few days or a week or whatever later, he did a set at KillTonyMania, which was supposed to be like a refinement of this set. I've already reviewed that one. Here's that analysis:

You know, people are going to tell you that women want you more when you have like a girlfriend or a wife because they want what they can't have. But I'm here to tell y'all it's just because we look better because we're better kept.

Have y'all seen single dudes? Single dudes look and smell like what happens at the end of years of kicking ice cubes underneath the refrigerator. And then the radiation melts the ice and then the mold come in and then it make a -- it form a body and it crawl out and it's like, "You should smile more."

And the reason why we so better kept is because we're using their haircare products in the shower. Long are the days of me using my 6 in 1 body wash. (cat meows) Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, zen juice, the original Four Loko recipe with the caffeine in it, and DUI tears.

No, she got good shit. She got -- her shower look like Gordon Ramsay's seasoning cabinet and two black Southern women.

You remember you used to suicide the sodas in Taco Bell? That's me with her shit. She think I'm in there jacking off. No, I'm just trying stuff out.

They got shit called "purple shampoo", it's only for people with blond hair, or a nigga with free time.

Bruh, they got this shit called "bath bombs". Bath bombs. Brotha, it's -- it takes bubble baths to a whole new level. This shit is a bomb that you drop in there and it change the color of the water and it got sprinkles and glitter in there and it's got lavender oils and all this shit. That's why women look so delicious is because they treat their body like a crawfish boil.

That's my time. I love y'all.

The creature comes out from under the refrigerator and says "You should smile more"...to who? To women? I guess that's the joke. Creepy guys who tell women to smile more. But I wasn't quite sure who this creature was supposed to be speaking to.

"DUI tears". I know that he was attempting a joke in this sentence, but I had to remove credit because what the fuck is "DUI tears"? Is it "DUI tiers"? That doesn't make things any better.

This woman's bathroom cabinet looks like Gordon Ramsay's seasoning cabinet and...two black Southern women. What the fuck does that mean?

Anyway, this set was just Dedrick aka Deddy Fat Stacks (his actual Instagram name) boasting about having a girlfriend, something most people outgrow by the tenth grade.

He seemed to clean up his act, though. Only one "nigga". He appeared to substitute "brotha" or "bruh" whenever he wanted to say "nigga".

-----

That was my review 12 days ago. You can read it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DedrickFlynn/comments/1susesf/an_analysis_of_dedrick_flynns_comedy_minute/

I gave credit for some different jokes. His jokes just made more sense sometimes. Like when he explained what "suiciding" is in his first version of the set, it made the joke more impactful so I gave him credit. I know what "suiciding" is but it took a few seconds to remember and it helps when you explain.

It's obviously two versions of the same set. How do they compare? For one thing, in the one for KillTonyMania, he was clearly trying to clean up the "niggas" and only said it once, but in the YouTube version he said "nigga" TWELVE times, including one instance where he said it twice in the same sentence.

His second set, the one told at KillTonyMania is tighter, as evidenced by sheer time, nearly a minute shorter, which helps. Get rid of the rambling bullshit. Focus on jokes.

He also ends on a punchline in the KillTonyMania set, even though there's no real setup for it. In the Youtube set, it's just "I don't want to be dry". Well, good for you. So use moisturiser. This isn't a joke.

The crowd work in the Youtube version also really hurt because it made no fucking sense. WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT BODY WASH AND BATH BOMBS ARE? And then he fucking insults them. This seems to be his thing: insult and alienate the audience. It doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

Both versions are...not comedy bits. They're just rambling stories that don't go anywhere. I know that this is his "style" but...who's laughing at any of this joke-free "comedy"?

Deddy Fat Stacks (his actual Instagram name) posted something on Twitter apologising for repeating the same set. As here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Killtony/comments/1t4sw0n/dedricks_response_to_the_hate_from_him_performing/

He talks about the negative feedback that he gets. I almost feel bad for him. But it's inevitable that this guy is not going to go anywhere. He has no fucking act.

It's like how after Mitch Hedberg became popular, people in the audience would shout out jokes that they want to hear. Can you imagine such a thing with Dedrick? "Tell us the rambling story about you drinking breast milk at a country music festival or whatever the fuck it was!"

He's a stupid man and he's completely incapable of handling even the small amount of fame and money that he currently has. It's to be pitied but what can you do? There's nothing anybody can say that can help him. He's not equipped mentally to be able to navigate any of this. So he's just going to continue to go up and tell these rambling, punchline-free stories and boast about how "rich" he is until Tony finally has enough and gets rid of him.

Yeah!

When I first moved to Austin, I was working at this car wash called Surf Thru Car Wash and they hired me as a manager and then afterwards told me that tattoos are not accept -- like, they told me that they can't be seen at the car wash. And that let me know, these niggas aren't good with money because the more tattoos you have, the more people trust you with their car.

You don't want a blank nigga telling you your rims are dirty. You don't want a blank nigga looking at your transmission. You want a felon with a throat tattoo being like, "Your filter's dirty." You're like, "Whatever you need, just don't go back to jail."

Tattoos let you know a motherfucker went through something to work here. (cat meows). Like doctors don't have tattoos. Surgeons don't have tattoos. You know who do? Nurses. Nurses are sexy as fuck. If hospitals just only had nurses, everybody would be cured because them niggas can't wait to shove a needle in your neck and get you the fuck out of there.

All I'm saying is if you can't punch the drywall, you shouldn't be hanging my drywall. Tattoos let me know that you're a blue collar worker.

(Pointing to a member of the audience) Like you, you don't do anything. You don't sweat for work. Not at all. But look at this motherfucker (pointing to the drummer). He's got his tattoos hidden, he be drumming his fucking ass off. You sitting over here laid back like a bitch. (Makes a noise). That's my time. I'm sorry.

I tried to be as charitable as possible with crediting him for jokes but...the stuff he's saying just doesn't ring true so I can't say that they're attempts at LOGICAL jokes.

Unlike in previous sets where he says stuff that I didn't comprehend at all, I understood everything he was saying but, again, there's just no basis in reality for any of this.

There's a certain logic that people doing SKILLED blue collar jobs, for example a mechanic, MIGHT be given more credence if they have tattoos. So I get the idea behind this. But what advice is being given at a CAR WASH?

Dedrick suggests that he was checking out transmissions at the car wash. WHY? What kind of car wash was this?

Terrible reviews of the three Austin locations of this establishment, by the way. All of the complaints seem to be about the car getting damaged by going through the car wash machine and shit like this. NOTHING about transmissions.

And then the idea that nurses are all tatted up. What fucking nurses is he seeing?

Finally, there's his alienation of the crowd during his abysmal crowd work and then sucking up to the drummer as some kind of beacon of the working man. You know...drummers. That ultimate working class profession. The entertainment industry. Not factory workers. Not construction workers. Not truck drivers. Drummers.

Dedrick better not shit on that car wash too much, because with his level of "comedy", he's likely to be reapplying there very soon.

I'll break down his set in another post, another day, but does the premise even ring true? Would you give any extra credence to the opinion of a tattooed car wash employee rather than car wash employer without tattoos?

And why is somebody at a car wash, regardless of tattoos, looking at your transmission?

As for the second half of his "minute", Is it true that nurses tend to have tattoos? What nurses is he seeing?

It's undoubtedly true that people in lower socioeconomic classes have a higher prevalence of being tattooed. So it's logical that nurses, being lower on the socioeconomic scale than doctors, would be more likely to be tattooed. But is it statistically significant? Are there many tatted up nurses out there with neck tattoos and shit? I've seen very few.

Then he suggests that treatment success would go up if it were just nurses in hospitals because they just want to inject something into your neck and get you out of there. How does this relate to treatment success? And is this even accurately describing what nurses want to do? Of course not. It's complete nonsense.

Then he's talking about how tattoos are indicative of blue collar workers and gives THE DRUMMER as his example of a blue collar worker. Fuck off, you idiot.
