Na.....not me. Just seen him before. Just seen him pop up in my YouTube algorithm......not like its hard for YouTube to figure out what I primarily watch on its platform 🤷

"Oh, just like the LSU game."

Vescovi did a great job going back at him. Sometimes these don't work when the non-comedian can't keep up or isn't good at it.

This thread gives me a great opportunity to dunk on this dude. It's smething I've wanted to get out of my system for a few months now. In fact, before now I never actually knew this guy's name or that he even had a name. I just referred to him as "uuggghhhh" as that is what I would say every time I scrolled onto one of his videos.

This guy literally takes the low hanging jokes from every school and in the most monotone voice and empty stare tries to repeat them. The jokes are overdone, the delivery is poor, and the skits very unoriginal.

Honestly it's a bad look to actually think this guy is funny. It's as if, whenever anyone mentions Tennessee or their favorite school team they automatically love the content. And that how someone like this dude can make a living calling himself a "comedian."

Sorry, to get all riled up, but I'm tired of scrolling past this guy's videos. Let someone who is actually funny and creative tell the jokes. SEC shorts is funny. This guy..no thank you. And yes, I'm fun at parties.

Sorry, but it was funny. He sets up Vescovi’s deadpan answers perfectly. Then to tell us it’s a bad look to think it’s funny is pretty out there. If you don’t think it’s funny that’s fine but to tell us we shouldn’t think it is funny is just stupid.

Comedy has such low standards these days. I remember the days comedians actually were funny. It's a shame. But I guess everyone is too afraid to make jokes because someone might get offended. As a result we get this....and people like you enable them.

I thought this particular one was funny, largely due to Vescovi’s reactions, because it seems like such a different side of him. It’s clear this guy is doing what Justin Pressley does with Sundae Conversations which is kind of a spoof of Sunday Conversation from ESPN. (He even tries the same smirk and expressions Pressley does) It’s not original, but few things are anymore. Having said that, it’s not easy to pull it off even if it’s kind of copying someone else’s idea/format. He does a good job in this video, I just usually don’t find his stuff that funny. It’s kind of like the Matt Mitchell guy. No offense to them, just my opinion. Seems most find them funny. I don’t get on social media and dog them like some do. SEC shorts is hilarious and it’s pretty creative and original. Anyway, I’m kind of with you in that I’m a comedy snob and thing few things are funny these days. Again, comedy is subjective and I’m not going to take shots at anyone that finds this guy’s other stuff funny .This particular video I found funny.

I have to highly disagree. He did the Vescovi interview like “Between Two Ferns”.
I think the low hanging fruit is some of the sweetest too.

Exactly he copied really successful formats, but didn't add anything unique or funny. Just did an unoriginal, poor man's version of them. I think an AI could write a better script. But then again I guess I don't find predictable and overtold jokes funny.

Sure this episode is OK because it includes a UT basketball player and Santiago says a few actual funny jokes like "you should edit this part at the end of your video because no one will watch that far." But on his own...not funny.

That's the first time, I've seen him. I'm not sure how funny he is, Santi was hilarious and that made me love it. "Just like LSU" was a great one, tho
