You're definitely not normal, But it's okay.
please welcome Roy wood, Jr.
! thank you.
I'm glad y'all doing all right.
I almost got pulled into some Drama this week.
I was at a fast-food spot.
This dude's order was messed up.
He tries to pull me into it.
He's mad.
I ordered five chicken nuggets And I didn't get but four Chicken nuggets.
You owe me another chicken Nugget.
You see what they're doing to Me, brother? That's what people do.
They pull other people into the Issue.
Now I have to join the nugget Coalition right now on the spot.
I don't know this dude.
I'm just saying, what are we Going to do? I'm not going to do nothing.
My burger is delicious.
I'm enjoying my burger.
That wasn't enough for him so he Tries to get racial.
I'm just saying, man, you need To do something.
You see what those white folks Are doing.
Got to stand up.
Racism? This is what you think the Klan Has been plotting at all their Meetings? This is the master plan.
This is how they're going to get Rid of black people, just starve Us to death one nugget at a Time, really? Doesn't make any sense.
Buddy of mine just had a kid.
I want some kids.
I want to have a big family.
Once I have kids, I want my wife To have six kids at one time.
That way we get free stuff from Other people.
You don't want to pay for child Care? Have all your kids in a group And take them on TV.
Look at all these babies we had At one time.
And people give you money.
They give you snacks.
They call the number and Everything.
I don't give money because most People that have that many kids At once, it's because they have Fertility.
They took fertility pills, which Is fine.
You want to take a pill to have A kid, fine.
Take a pill.
If you have more kids than you Can afford to keep, ha, ha, not My fault.
Don't get on TV begging for Snacks.
First of all, why do you have to Keep all the kids? Where's that a written rule? You just met them kids.
Take two or three.
You don't know these kids.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know which baby to keep.
Let America vote.
Put the kids on TV and put a Number.
Let Craig Robinson host it.
Welcome back to "last baby Standing.
" I'm your host, Craig Robinson.
I'm just saying, it's a double Standard in America, because we Only care about groups of kids That are in need if they're all Wearing the same shirt.
Six kids at one time, you get Kits from Oprah.
Six kids from five men, you're On Maury Povich for a paternity Test.
Okay, judges, judge this.
Roy, I think you're so funny And I feel like we give you any Topic and you would make it Hilarious.
You're really great.
I love you.
Nugget.
Nugget coalition.
Roy, you got this thing you Do where you're like a grumpy Old man in a young man's body, But it doesn't feel forced.
It's a very natural thing.
That set was about as tight and Great a set for a set of that Length that I could have seen.
That was a killer, killer set.
Great job.
I love you more than them.
Don't listen to them.
I'm really in love with what you Do.

thank you, everybody, Sincerely.
Things have been going okay Recently, but I ordered some Nuggets, and they only gave me Four.
And they were made of chicken, And I don't even eat that, so This is great.
You guys like TV? It doesn't matter.
This joke's about TV.
I don't like all the reality Shows they have these days.
They're getting boring.
I wish they'd combine some.
Kids say the darnedest things When animals attack.
Something like that.
Thank you very much for Clapping.
I appreciate the noise that you Make.
I appreciate it.
I don't have any kids.
I was married, but I got out Alive.
And I think it's great.
I don't mind being divorced.
End in divorce.
That's one out of every two People.
So it's either going to be you Or your wife.
That's how the math works out.
You've got to do everything you Can.
I have a cell phone that takes Pictures.
You can have a picture pop up When somebody calls you.
Maybe you have a picture of the Person pop up? I don't do that.
I have a picture of my face Reacting to how that person Makes me feel.
Thank you again.
You guys are nice.
I'm nice to you.
I do what I can, but when I die, Here's the thing, I want to have My remains scattered over a Beautiful park.
I don't want to be cremated, Though.
Just have my body parts strewn About like a scavenger hunt for Fun, you know.
I like fun.
You guys seen the movie "final Destination"? If you haven't, fine choice.
Here is enough information to Make this relatable and Enjoyable to everybody.
It's about a boy, gets on a Plane.
The plane explodes.
Everybody dies.
The boy wakes up before that Happens.
It was a vision of the future.
He's like we've got to get out Of here.
They kick him off the plane.
So far, very realistic movie.
So he's off the plane.
It does take off.
It does explode just like he saw In his vision.
He cheated death.
Death follows him for the rest Of the movie, which is what Happens if you cheat death in a Crappy movie.
I get to the end of this hour And a half of my life.
What a crapfest.
I wake up in the theater before It started.
Like we've got to get out of Here.
This is going to blow.
So thank you guys very much.
You've been awesome.
Myq Kaplan.
Let him hear it.
Now let's find out what that did For the judges.
Mr.
Giraldo.
Mike, you get a lot of Applause breaks in your show.
A lot of your jokes get big Laughs and respectful claps, Which is a great thing.
You're a great performer.
It was a good set.
Myq, you remind me of a Younger version of me with more Jokes, better looking, more Confident, not really like me.
I love that you made people Laugh at a movie that isn't a Real movie.
You brought me along.
Great job.
I loved it.
Natasha.
You're very clever.
I think if this show was named "last comedy writer standing," You would definitely win.
If myq made you laugh the First time since the oil spill Dial 1-877-5-keep-03.
That's 1-877-553-3703.
Voting opens at the end of the Show and phone lines remain open For two hours.
By that time, Lindsay Lohan Should be out of jail.
Four comics left, one's going Home.
Don't act like you don't know How this goes.
We'll be right back.
And we're back.
We have four comics left.
Who will be eliminated? Who will perform next? The answer is written on this Card.
I shall read it now.
The comic who received enough Votes to perform next is Tommy Johnagin.
Come on.
Take a look at Tommy.
Hello, America.
I just want to let you know a Little about myself and the Other comics.
Everybody else lives on the Coasts and don't care about the Middle.
I eat in the middle, sleep in The middle.
I'm one of you.
We eat fried ravioli but call it Toasted ravioli so we don't feel Guilty.
I'm on the road 45-ish weeks a Year.
I like coming from small towns In middle America because I'm From middle America.
I'm America's comic.
And there's nothing more American than shucking corn over An American flag in a wife Beater.
Please make a loud welcome For Tommy johnagin.
thank you.
It's good to be here.
I had a pregnancy scare with a Girl a while back.
She had a pregnancy scare.
I just thought I had to move.
Way less scary.
Pregnancy comes up with women Even when it doesn't need to.
They get a belly ache, they're Sick to their stomach, they have A girlfriend, uh-oh, you know What that means.
It could mean she wolfed down Two helpings of lasagna.
I was with a girl.
She could be 8 1/2 months Pregnant wearing a maternity Dress.
My friends would be maybe it's Gas.
I saw the ultrasound.
There's a baby.
They'd be maybe she ate a baby.
Thank you.
You're right.
My little sister has a brand-new Baby.
She asked me to watch him.
I'm not going to watch her baby.
What about you having a baby Makes me qualified to take care Of one? You have to train two weeks to Be a busboy at applebee's and You're going to hand me your Infant? You're a bad mom already.
All I know is don't shake them And don't feed them chocolate, And I think the second one's for Dogs.
If you want kids, you've got to Be careful with your business as A guy.
I read the story where a dude Got into a car accident and his Thing popped.
I didn't even know it was Poppable.
I've got one and I've done a lot Of things to it.
Between 12 and 15, I was running A test facility.
Does that hurt, does that feel Good, can I smack it a little? No, yes, no, yes.
I never came close to popping It.
How is that not the slogan for Wearing your seat belts? Click it or ticket.
I'll take it.
But click it or your penis will Explode, not so much.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Tommy johnagin, ladies and Gentlemen.
Judges, give us your best Judgment.
Andy kindler.

I don't know if I can say that.
You're cocky and have good Posture.
I'm slumped over afraid to do my Material.
You pull it off.
You're confident and hilarious And by the way, my thing Detaches.
I don't know if that's Natasha.
Popping the penis, is that What it was? Yes, that's what it was, Natasha.
When do penises pop? I got it.
Okay.
Disgusting.
I hope you weren't making fun of America in that piece.
Okay, good.
I think you're real funny.
Thank you, Ellie Mae.
Tommy, you have tons and tons Of jokes.
I don't know if people realize.
To do as many sets as you have To do, it takes a lot of work to Hone and tighten them into Something and your sets have Been solid every single time.
That was a great set.

Sometimes parents say, Mike, Will you talk to my kids about Not doing drugs? And I say no, I won't, because I Did drugs.
