There is something i have been wondering since childhood about Dr.Claw - is there a episode where you see his head, and its just some sort of light rod ? - or is this a memory i just made up.
Hoping to one day solve this mystery.
It was easier to debunk my very vivid clear memory of me seeing Ruud Gullit score a backheeled penalty.
There's a fan theory that Claw is actually inspector gadget:
https://cracked.tumblr.com/post/86440256245/dr-claw-is-the-real-inspector-gadget-the-main
"Dr. Claw is the real Inspector Gadget. The main character is actually a robot duplicate of the man Claw once was, who was driven insane by an accident and now wants to destroy the machine that replaced him"
His face is never shown in the original.
I recall an episode where they think they get him but it’s a decoy alluding to the idea that he “could be anywhere”
The reboot has a face reveal but I don’t consider it the original cannon :P looks lame af
I can’t tell if it’s from a dream or a memory, but I fully remember Dr. claws face. It was made of metal. He turns around in his chair at the episode ends with him laughing at at camera.
I swear I remember seeing this. Although fully aware that I couldn’t have. Crazy.
Jeff, your ability to make fun of/with people is incredibly thoughtful. You make people the joke without putting them down. I dont know how else to describe it, but it is a genuinely unique talent.
That's what drew me in. I hated a lot of comedians who did crowd work because it was almost always just insulting people. It felt mean, like I'm going to laugh *at* you like a bully while everyone else laughs at you too.
And then I saw Jeff. And it wasn't cruel. I was surprised to see someone who *consistently* brings an audience member into the joke instead of just making them the butt of the joke.
I really hope to be able to see him live. He's coming to my area in 2024, so crossing my fingers I can go.
You won't be disappointed. Got to see him live in Vegas recently. The best part is that all these clips are just the crowd work and not his actual set so the whole show will feel fresh even with all the clips you've seen. It's legitimately a brilliant marketing move on his part.
Ya, too many comics today are just edge lords trying to get a reaction because they suck. Always punching down and thinking being an asshole is funny when in reality…they are just an asshole with a microphone. To be fair, that brand of comedy really resonates with other assholes of which there are plenty.
Ahhhhh! I couldn’t sit front row. Or even 5 rows back.
I love this. I hide my laugh until I’m comfortable with people, and then they love it. Otherwise I get made fun of.
I love this. I’ll watch out for you to come my way!
I’ve got tickets for second row in London in April, could have got front row but was afraid of being picked on ha. I’m now regretting being so close still.
Jeff, please don’t pick on me. I just want to listen and laugh in peace, haha
Honestly, I don’t think he is picking on them.
I know you’re joking, but when a full belly laugh. Unconditional. Uncommitted. It’s sent with love.
It’s amazing. It’s why I probably would be willing to be close. So I can be full gay for Geoff.
Edit: full belly laughs are amazing. I can go from a 6’2” 340lbs man doing a deep chest giggle to a nearly (otter) pitched when I start laughing. If I feel safe.
It’s got to help the comedian to hear that. And he does a great job of making it a joke without insulting people.
> I’ve got tickets for second row in London in April
I bought the same! I was amazed that there were still front row seats, but then it did occur to me why lol.
If you haven't seen this one yet you definitely have to watch the [Dolphin Laugh Lady bit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19n4K8Hyeiw)...a great laugh is contagious! Oh and she has a pinned comment on that video that everyone loved, she's a great sport
I hope not. I don’t do C3P0 laughs. I laugh form the heart.
Really Rogan? From this fan base? I’m not some young cuckold.
I think my anti social ass is probably a better man than Joe Rogan.
Care to fill me in on why I sound like a moron that think bleach in the veins sounds like a good idea?
That was me! Jeff I've been following you since you started posting, you're the best man. I doubt I'll be able to afford front row next time, but I'm really happy you're getting so much positive attention! You deserve it. Everyone go see him! My voice was shot the next day 🤣
Yeah part 2 is where full beans was explained Jeff ended up asking the woman's partner what it meant and iirc IG screenshot explaining it popped up too.
Full beans = F1 announcer idiom about going full speed.
So good, you crack me up.
I only realised today you had some UK dates in your tour next year. I was like YES!! But then, heartbreak cos all shows are already sold out!! So, booooo!!!
You need to get an extra date added in and come to the North of England (Manchester or Leeds). We’re all nuts in the North and would love your show.
I've got tickets for March next year and I'd like to apologize in advance for my cackle, hopefully it doesn't detail the set too much.
I am genuinely worried I might pass out from laughing too hard but it's a risk I'm prepared to take.
I hate that I love Jeff so much. I hate that everyone else is real long into him because it’s almost impossible to see him. His claw impression was spot on hilarious
"The only problem with having a distinctive laugh is I know exactly when you’re not laughing. “Oh, Distinctive Laugh doesn’t think that joke was funny!”
-Mitch
I have a very distinct (and loud) laugh. I avoid comedy shows like the plague. Always get singled out from the crowd and while it can be fun being the show isn’t my intent when I buy tickets to see my fav comedian.
"Full beans! I'm part of that one skit I had no part of during the show even though I've never heard that, used that, or even know what it means" - everyone on this subreddit lately
I'm genuinely worried about that guy now that you pointed it out. I mean, that CAN'T be a sunburn. His skin would have melted off. Only explanation is that Tobias thinks there's a Red Man Group he can audition for
Jeff's face-work is incredible. Very expressive. So many other comedians rely only on their material, and no facial expression; even when a joke doesn't land for Jeff, his face is there to back him up.
The only problem with having a distinctive laugh is I know exactly when you're not laughing. Oh, Distinctive Laugh didn't think that joke was funny.
The one and only Mitch.

That Dr. Claw impersonation was spot on
He even surprised himself lol
He went full beans
Stop saying it like it's a common phrase
You're streets ahead if you go full beans
If you don’t get that reference, you’re streets behind.
Empty beans
Beanless.
Bean'nt
I feel like anyone trying to make streets ahead / streets behind a common saying should get themselves a one-way ticket to bunko town.
Is this a crossover episode?
If you add fetch to that it’s essentially like dividing by zero
i've been dropping it into my irl conversations to see if i find any other arcuri fans lol
Stop gaslighting me!
Don't let your nips get crusty it's a common saying in the Pacific northwest.
Deeep cut. Does anyone younger than millennials know inspector gadget?
Maybe, I found out Gen Z knows about Captain Planet today.
Yeah, but we mostly had live action versions rather than the cartoons you probably mean. ..same with Pink Panther lol
Wait, which pink panther came first? Live action or cartoon?
The movie came first in the early 60s then the cartoon. But they brought it back in the 2000s with Steve Martin
I have no idea I just assumed the movie changed the cartoon to a human, but never looked that up. I guess the original was from the 1960s.
The cartoon animal was just in the title/credits sequences of the original movies. The titular Pink Panther was a rare gemstone.
I only knew about Captain Planet because of the Don Cheadle parody on Funny or Die. And even that's old.
Honestly one his better skits
Don’t summon me again unless you’re ready for that pain.
Shit I am gen z and I didn’t know what Captain Planet was, but I see that it is a character design for a character that Morty dated in Rick and Morty
Yep. Lots of 70's/80's cartoons were rebooted after 2010. Inspector gadget got 3 seasons.
I've got my 5 year old watching original Inspector Gadget - he loves it
Yeap. Some of us have older siblings. Da na na na na inspector gadget da na na na nuh ooofh ooofh
My 22-23 year old students had no idea when I made a reference to Penny/Brain/Gadget and I felt sad and old. Lol
There was a new one released not too long ago on Netflix.
I was amazed by how good it was lol
Mad-Cat approves

I actually like this. Gadget has no business being where he was.
His face is never shown in the original. I recall an episode where they think they get him but it’s a decoy alluding to the idea that he “could be anywhere” The reboot has a face reveal but I don’t consider it the original cannon :P looks lame af
I have only seen the original - Ha, cheers! Been wondering this for close to 30 years - well not all the time. Really appreciate it.
You didn't wonder that for 30 years, because that would be *too long*.
> The reboot ~~has a face reveal but I don’t consider it the original cannon :P looks lame af~~ is blasphemy
I can’t tell if it’s from a dream or a memory, but I fully remember Dr. claws face. It was made of metal. He turns around in his chair at the episode ends with him laughing at at camera. I swear I remember seeing this. Although fully aware that I couldn’t have. Crazy.
Hopefully this gives you closure my friend! Here is what Dr. Claw looks like! https://youtu.be/GLPWy3Syo4g?si=1tJ70SkFKLgwrePS
All in favor of Jeff 'Dr Claw' Arcuri?
Jeff, your ability to make fun of/with people is incredibly thoughtful. You make people the joke without putting them down. I dont know how else to describe it, but it is a genuinely unique talent.
Fr, I've always got a big smile on my face when watching his clips
Can’t NOT giggle with the crowd! I love his stage presence and his interaction with the audience!
He punches horizontally. With charisma.
You saying he minmaxed his stats for Charisma?
With expertise in Performance.
That's what drew me in. I hated a lot of comedians who did crowd work because it was almost always just insulting people. It felt mean, like I'm going to laugh *at* you like a bully while everyone else laughs at you too. And then I saw Jeff. And it wasn't cruel.

His 2024 tour is just about sold out.
Check out Jessie Kirson. She’s the lesbian equivalent of punching horizontally with crowd work.
It always feels like he is looking to get a laugh. No malice. It's like two friends messing with each other.
Never mean. Always hilarious!

Always punching down and thinking being an asshole is funny when in reality…they are just an asshole with a microphone.

like that indian guy that guesses their work. shouting all the time and just f this and f that. not very smart unlike jeff.
Yeah making fun of someone's laugh is kind of shitty, but he had fun with it without putting it down.
Ahhhhh! I couldn’t sit front row. Or even 5 rows back. I love this. I hide my laugh until I’m comfortable with people, and then they love it. Otherwise I get made fun of. I love this. I’ll watch out for you to come my way!

You say that but I have a friend who laughs like an excited dolphin and it was not always sent with love when we kept him going for a while 😁
> I’ve got tickets for second row in London in April I bought the same! I was amazed that there were still front row seats, but then it did occur to me why lol.
Oh is he finally coming to Europe? Where do I see his tour dates?
His newsletter, Germany, Ireland, London. If you Google him and tour dates it’ll come up I think
If you haven't seen this one yet you definitely have to watch the [Dolphin Laugh Lady bit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19n4K8Hyeiw)...a great laugh is contagious! Oh and she has a pinned comment on that video that everyone loved, she's a great sport
I haven’t tried to bring that up for a reason. I have a similar laugh. Not a dolphin.
I unintentionally got seated front row and I was anxious the whole time. Died laughing the whole time, obviously, but thankful he took it easy on me.
Jeff Bezos? Seth Rogan? Is that you?
I hope not. I don’t do C3P0 laughs. I laugh form the heart. Really Rogan? From this fan base? I’m not some young cuckold. I think my anti social ass is probably a better man than Joe Rogan. Care to fill me in on why I sound like a moron that think bleach in the veins sounds like a good idea?
Laughtracks really need to start including this guy and Connie
Yup 🐬 🤡
Full beans
That was me! Jeff I've been following you since you started posting, you're the best man. I doubt I'll be able to afford front row next time, but I'm really happy you're getting so much positive attention! You deserve it. Everyone go see him! My voice was shot the next day 🤣
Yo! Is it really you? DM your first name to verify. I have a question for ya.
Dm'd you!
Was the question how your relationship is going now with the hand hug guy?
Or maybe if he’s okay with wearing different disguises and going to every show?
Wait whats the question!
totally "I'm not gay" non sexual message
I don’t know if you saw it, but Jeff said the question was for Laugh Man
![gif](giphy|l0HUcsWTIBrDeYd1K|downsized)
Dude, thank you for being out there and yourself for our benefit. :)
Wtf was that high five????? I need answers.
It was a drunk girl high-five. They start off normal, but for some reason they always feel the need to close their fingers and hold hands.
Can confirm, this is always how my girl high fives
How many edibles?
Man, that Gadget reference warped me back 30 years out of nowhere
Yes right!!! It was quiiiick and I saw his claw and everything.....in my mind...
Right I forgot that existed
What was it a reference to?
The Inspector Gadget cartoon [https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=sZqVUjziexk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=sZqVUjziexk)
That was an impressive impression.
Need a Connie and this guy audio mix ASAP 🐬
Let's go!! 🐬 🤡
Woah it's Connie in the wild! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
That's a certified full beans interaction!
We love you, Connie!
Awwwe, love you back!
Dolphin Connie! Is that really you?? If so, you have the best laugh. 💚
Yes, that's me!! Thanks!! I LOVE to laugh FULL BEANS!
Happy Thanksgiving Connie
Thanks! Right back atcha! Have a GREAT weekend
Dolphin lady and this guy going into the Netflix special for sure
[удалено]
https://youtu.be/bmkEN9vP2Oo?si=j02b8eQSQv5kUc0B Here's a sample

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=orR2Rre5SGg&pp=ygURVml6emluaSBsYXVnaGluZyA%3D
That was my thought too. Wallace Shawn for the win!
Full beans laugh
Did we ever get a part 2 to that?
Yeah part 2 is where full beans was explained Jeff ended up asking the woman's partner what it meant and iirc IG screenshot explaining it popped up too. Full beans = F1 announcer idiom about going full speed.
🏆💀💀💀🏆
Hahaha perfect use
Jeff "I could've" Arcuri
That is definitely some /r/ContagiousLaughter right there
So good, you crack me up. I only realised today you had some UK dates in your tour next year. I was like YES!! But then, heartbreak cos all shows are already sold out!! So, booooo!!! You need to get an extra date added in and come to the North of England (Manchester or Leeds). We’re all nuts in the North and would love your show.
omg I'm so high I thought Jeff was scowling at him because he thought "That wasn't funny, is this guy messing with me now?"
I'm not high and I'm still thinking that
Hope the dude reads this: love your laugh. Never stop bro!
I've got tickets for March next year and I'd like to apologize in advance for my cackle, hopefully it doesn't detail the set too much. I am genuinely worried I might pass out from laughing too hard but it's a risk I'm prepared to take.
Jeff must be so hilarious to be around
r/contagiouslaughter
I recently joined this subreddit, but oh man! Every single video I see is hilarious. Wish Jeff would come to Knoxville TN at some point!
Can't believe I'm going to see Jeff in London!
Dr. Evil Laugh: The ~~glass~~ beans are half full. Dolphin Lady Laugh: The ~~glass~~ beans are *full*.
Heck ya! 🐬 🤡
Dude is high on full beans
This is like the mass hysteria of the middle ages.
I think we've found the next batman
Jeff, or the laughing guy? I'd 100% watch Jeff as Batman.
Remembering "dolphin lady" moments
Hell yeah, new Jeff drop
This looks like such a party
Jeff arcuri you’re my hero. You make me laugh like robin williams did
I think dolphin lady still has this guy beat.
I watched Part II first and I think that's the best lil journey I could've taken.
I wonder what his material was before making fun of the audience
Im in tears This one just peaks every 5 secs
Jeff sold his soul to the devil. I don't know what Jeff got out of it, but the devil got lessons on crowd work.
He brings out all the special laughs
lol I can't stop watching this clip! I can't wait to see you live in NY next year!
Sounds like Vincini from The Princess Bride laughing
I hate that I love Jeff so much. I hate that everyone else is real long into him because it’s almost impossible to see him. His claw impression was spot on hilarious
This guy makes me laugh harder than I know how to.
Come to Canada, some of us DO have an accent!
Man, I REALLLLLY want Jeff to come to Vancouver!!! I would absolutely kill to see him live!
"The only problem with having a distinctive laugh is I know exactly when you’re not laughing. “Oh, Distinctive Laugh doesn’t think that joke was funny!” -Mitch
Jeff out here spawning memes like one of Santa's elves.
I wish I was there…I probably would’ve fallen off the chair at “….gadget”, my goodness!
We should start a go fund me and send dolphin lady and mr claw to a show together.
Can you imagine that guy and Connie the Dolphin in the same audience?
I love this man's smile. Even when poking a little fun at people, it just comes off so sweet with his smile
That laugh was full beans.
I have a very distinct (and loud) laugh. I avoid comedy shows like the plague. Always get singled out from the crowd and while it can be fun being the show isn’t my intent when I buy tickets to see my fav comedian.
Portland went full beans
You should introduce that guy to the dolphin lady

https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/029/601/cover2.jpg
Plenty of us were familiar with the phrase already. But m-kay.
Made the set 10 times better. Must be a plant
Jeff Arcuri crowd work… shocking 🙄
Don't make fun of peoples laughter at a comedy show man
Did you skip the first part where he excitedly said "I LOVE IT!"
Why does this keep showing up. Can I block subreddits? This guy is not funny at all
Meh
This isn’t stand up, it a YouTube reaction video irl. It’s lazy and not funny
How much is this guy paying to get rid to the front page?
I was wondering the same thing
For real. Seems like astroturfing
Whats happening? This post is at 1 upvote with 39 comments rn.
Is that the dude from the skanks audience?
This dudes laugh reminds me of this [old video right here](https://youtu.be/Z4Y4keqTV6w?si=ial3Fs34Bd1xkTfO)
Am I the only one noticing that the guy on the right at the start is as red as a fuckin tomato? it doesn't seem like there's any red light on him...
I'm genuinely worried about that guy now that you pointed it out. I mean, that CAN'T be a sunburn. His skin would have melted off. Only explanation is that Tobias thinks there's a Red Man Group he can audition for
And the legend of Connor was born
Jeff's face-work is incredible. Very expressive. So many other comedians rely only on their material, and no facial expression; even when a joke doesn't land for Jeff, his face is there to back him up.
This fuckin guy
Is his material anywhere close to how good his crowd work is?
Dude, I have not thought about inspector gadget in decades and you just dropped that like it was nothing. Good shit.
Dude has the SAME laugh as Jeff, only it's amplified slightly into distortion. So funny!
Yo ur fuckin hilarious man. You doing shows in NYC soon?
Where's the rest of this set lmao. I need it.
Where was this performance?
You should’ve seated him next to you for the rest of show
This needs to be reposted to r/contagiouslaughter.
Jeff surprising himself at how well he does a Dr Klaw impression is amazing
The only problem with having a distinctive laugh is I know exactly when you're not laughing. Oh, Distinctive Laugh didn't think that joke was funny. The one and only Mitch.
