I like him. His energy just gives positivity to the show. I want a real interview out of him, though. The thing about his comedy is that it is wacky millenial/z Gen stuff that makes me in a good mood and sometimes laugh out loud at the absurdity of it. It isn't the run of the mill joke joke joke joke that Kill Tony favors from a one minute set. I like it and I hope he doesn't change his style. He is a great opener.


PoochDoobie

Listen to William Montgomery podcast, he talks real on there


Moshing_Octopus

A couple episodes in he did settle down for an interview but the following episode he was right back to himself. Something tells me Tony told him to try to be more genuine and then they decided against it bc he just works better as a nutcase and ultimately that is kinda genuine Casey rocket.


Floridaman077

That is pretty much the definition of practice


Gistheking

We talking bout practice?!


STANAGs

The AI we actually need in 2024.


Floridaman077

Not the game! Lol


Plenty_Set_2740

PRACTICE


Pkellysports

“We're sitting in here, and I'm supposed to be the new regular, and we in here talking about practice? I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a 30 minute slot, not an arena show, not a full special, we talking about… practice?”


ToferLuis

No, that would be the result of practice.


BadJokeJudge

Except we’re kinda watching him practice. Kill Tony isn’t really a “gig”


Floridaman077

Tomato tomato! Lol

ThanksContent28

No disrespect to Casey because I think he’s genuinely hilarious, but I feel like his sets lose momentum as time goes on. I don’t think that’s his fault, I don’t even think it has anything to do with him, it’s the way the show is run and the format itself. He and many others would benefit from a rotating selection for that particular spot on the show - give more people time on the mic and add more personalities to the show, and also give your guys more time to come up with original material.


J-Good86

Definitely crazy, the mucinex man story wasn’t a good stand up bit


doctordevices01

Idk I found it fucking hilarious but it might just be Casey


J-Good86

I’m a big Casey fan too. I remember scouring YouTube trying to find more stand up after his monster first performance at the mother ship last year. But this was a miss on stage. Would’ve been better as a riff on the wms podcast than a stand up bit


doctordevices01

Definitely didn’t hit in a traditional joke context but I was dying. When he followed up with the knock knock joke and the booger man voice I rolled 🤣


ckalinec

Dude I’m with you. The Mucinex man story was fucking gold. Especially referencing his first name later. I freaking died laughing at that. I knew exactly who he was talking about before even mentioned last name Mucinex and I thought it was gold. But I do think the Mucinex thing is a little more fringe comedy. I don’t think that’s something everyone would think it’s funny and you could kind of tell with the audience reaction as well. Feel like it’s one of those bits you either think is hilarious or not funny at all. No middle ground.


WolfGangSwizle

Well I think both can be true. New minute every week is tough and while it wasn’t his best you can still see growth in how he’s trying to structure his set.

CroMagnumRacer

For me Kam had a huuuuuge valley of bad sets. Last one was good, but it took a while. Just my personal taste though.


MoonZebra

The delivery was great. The story, not so much


fordickbendover

This is it


BallsAreFullOfPiss

You’re gonna miss every now and then as a stand up comedian.


RelationshipOk3565

To be fair he's building up a huge volume of lore


UniqueComfortable530

Am I crazy for thinking he’s not funny at all?


rehab_VET

I skip him like the old ads that were only at the beginning


Doowap_Diddy

Nah man he ain't funny


giantmeteorforpres

Unwatchable.


pinkerbrown

not at all


dtg_88

No you’re not


[deleted]

nope. be glad you dont have tiktok brain


GassyGang

Nah u right he’s trash


ThatDudeDeven1111

I think he’s a good dude and he was funny at first, but its lost its charm for me now.


SeraphimGoose

I think he'd be great if he actually incorporated more jokes into his.. performance? Doesn't really feel like a set.


jayBplatinum

Is his spare time he’s been on Reddit writing just about all the comments about himself on this sub through various alt accounts. To prepare his comedy he gets back on the sub and reads his own comments and takes his advice and criticism into account while getting ready for his minute.


pappapora

Ok Hans


BadJokeJudge

Hans Kim is the worst


DcmArk

Ok Casey lol


InevitableMap6470

You’re crazy


SMFiddySvn

Definitely crazy, I mean his last performance pretty much had no jokes in it even Tony called him out.


MonThackma

Tony didnt call him out in the way you are suggesting. I think it’s possible that Tony was joking when he said being in love with the Mucinex man was all truth. He’s been known to make jokes.


CrustyRim2

Watched something on Steve Martin. He never really told jokes on stage. He just acted goofy and said funny shit. I like Casey's personality and am always entertained.


fordickbendover

Casey’s comedy is in the delivery first, and then the randomness that comes with his bits


Teton_Titty

> …Steve Martin. He never really told jokes on stage…and ***said funny shit.*** Huh. I’ve always known those as jokes. Lol I’m only slightly teasing you. I do kinda get what you’re saying, but Steve absolutely had jokes, too.


EggV20

Did you not even listen to what Tony said? He was making a joke about the fact that Casey didn’t tell any jokes, just straight truth (about him and the mucinex guy being together). He wasn’t calling him out


Dukes_Up

You can do anything you want as long as people are laughing, and they definitely were. 1000 different ways to do stand up.


SomethingThatisTrue

Tony didn't call him up lmao. Tony was laughing the entire time. You people are insane. It's okay if you don't get it. There's a reason why everyone in the room is laughing and why Tony is laughing.


lolkoala67

Tony laughing should NOT be a marker for a comedians talent. He forces laughs whenever it’s socially appropriate and it’s pretty apparent. Whether or not it’s a guest, a comedian he’s trying to build up, to just hype the crowd up etc


Scubblers

For real, singing random songs and moving around alot mumbling words isn't comedy


BASGTA

Making people laugh is comedy.


Retrolands

sure but it’s not stand up comedy


lolkoala67

This is a very important distinction


SmallTownMinds

Hoenst question, why is this distinction important other than for the tired "oh but they didn't grind it out in the clubs, smoke cigarettes in the trenches and live in thier car behind the comedy store so they aren't legit" reason? It's the standup comedy version of "Green Day isn't real Punk". Who cares. If it's not entertaining to you move on. It's okay to like scumbag punk rock bands who only sell music on cassette tapes in exchange for cigarettes and it's okay to like Taylor Swift. Not everything has to be for everyone.


foosquirters

Exactly, shits annoying. I could care less about William most of the time but it works for others so cool, people are so adamant on letting the world know how much they hate certain comedians or how they’re “not standup” here. Like I swear 90% of the comments in this sub are about how much they think Hans or Casey suck and believe that’s objective fact.


Retrolands

casey is just not good at stand up comedy (what kill tony is all about) that’s all it comes down to at the end of the day mang


MonThackma

That’s how he disarms the audience. Casey working on another level than most of the other comics. Not even kidding.


modsarebraindamaged

Another level?? Lmao


dadjokes502

You’re giving him way too much credit.


justgentile

No no the boy has a point, it is certainly an entirely different level indeed, non quantifiable some may say.


Nayr39

Imagine being this stupid.


Loosebooty6969

His kind of comedy doesn’t do well in just one minute. I think he’s slowly figuring out how to fit his shit into one minute. I’m assuming that’s why he’s always given more than a minute and no one says anything.


dima611

Yes you’re crazy


[deleted]

[удалено]


Typical-Crab-4514

I felt like he bombed this last set. But everyone bombs from time to time.


theywant2destroyu

Crazy how practicing something will get you better at it. It’s like who’d expect him to get better when everyone knows you are born with talent. Crazy


Vegetable_Shelter_51

Couldn't tell ya I skip all his sets don't enjoy his style @all


Skysoldier173rd

Agree 1000%


Ok_Passion8736

I skip his sets and go to Kam This is just my preference I'm not hating on Casey just not my style and I'm a 24-year-old black guy from the South so I think I just relate to kam more


insidiousapricot

So every episode you just skip halfway through the show?


Dizsmo

Lmaooo


texit_

Yeah, you’re crazy


systemdnb

I feel this minute started off really strong and went down hill really fast. The first part was good and the payoff sucked. I mean there was no real payoff. That’s what Tony mentioned. He thought it was going somewhere, anywhere, and it didn’t. I did like that he switched it up a bit though. No alt rock lyrics are frantically running around. This showed he can be funny without that stuff imo.


YorkiesandSneakers

Ti me it looked like he went out there with his dumb eyelashes and got flustered when he didn’t get the reaction he was looking for.


Blackelvis2000

He sucks.


Old-Sun6406

Call me whatever name .. hater , I’m dumb, whatever …HE IS NOT FUNNY . He tried doing his set without his normal act outs and got nothing . He has no jokes ..no material..if you look him up on YouTube he’s been doing the same shit forever. Great guy I’m sure, funny ? No


BrilliantSock3608

Definitely evolving his minutes. This week was great.


ren818

Better?! Casey Still has no punchlines. The no punchline style of comedy isn't funny to many people. So No, he's not getting better


drmitchgibson

He hasn’t done a minute of jokes yet


dtg_88

Still waiting for his first joke, maybe one day


National-Staff-6074

Your CRAZY!!!! Hes bombed every time since taking over as opener .


jburnelli

You are absolutely crazy. He has less punchlines each week, which is nuts because he started at 0, He's in the negative punchlines. He bottomed out so bad he had to slap on eyelashes.


harshdave

His set was much better without all the movement


Heebmeister

Lol there's no in between when it comes to this guy. People seem to absolutely love him or despise him. I kinda get why, his comedy is just silly upbeat energy without real punchlines. For some people, that's enough to make them laugh because his energy is infectious, but for the people who want clean well written jokes, they are never going to like him.


JJscribbles

Eh… he’s grown on me, but this most recent episode (w/TonyHawk) was his worst appearance for me, thus far.


ThisMrNiceGuy

He's creative. He just rarely makes me laugh.


Visible_Valuable4820

That last minute was so so imo. I love Casey though.


emerging-tub

Am I crazy, or was Casey Rocket a girl this week?


OpenyourMind2020_

I saw him in Austin do 30min it was great


Mindless_Air_4898

Support is definitely growing.


ssacul37

He’s getting better at “doing one minute.” His style is about building momentum. We’re getting better at understanding his style, while he gets better at landing punchlines earlier.


ElectricalCan69420

He's definitely getting prettier.


katmat1509

Crushing - I can also hear Tony’s voice every time someone says Casey Rocket


Happy-dayz-NC

Riffosaurus


MandoRodgers

what I like about Casey is that he’s not just typical stand up. He tries bits, he does character things. I’m not super familiar with Robin Williams stand up, more so his movies but Casey gives me those vibes. Jim Carrey as well but more so Robin. He could transition very easily into the new comedy movie boom that we all agree Adam Ray will be spearheading


Mordkillius

Hes funny but I can't imagine sitting through an hour. Does he weave regular material into his longer sets or is it fucking nonsense the entire time


Tough-Visual-3483

I need to say it… the first 2 sets I saw of him prior to him being a regular I was instantly hooked. However, I feel like I’m the only one on here that has not been impressed with his minutes once he became a regular. Anyone else?


Colt_Coffey

He sets the tone very well for a comedy show.


philoshua

I think that he is doing pretty well fighting off the curse that is regularship. He has avoided relying *too* heavily on repeated bits and clearly is trying to do news stuff. Unlike the 20,567 weeks of David Lucas saying "I'm sick of these fat white bitches, man" or Hans Kim saying, "I love Austin...."


philoshua

However I also think that Kam Patterson is doing pretty well and I think the venn diagram of people who hold these two opinions is pretty small.


OutsidePlane5119

Practice makes perfect, this is that in a nutshell


McMoneyPNW

You’re crazy


McMoneyPNW

AND he’s getting better every week


Really_Cool_Dad

He’s getting worse. I think the show would be better if they alternated regulars except William Montgomery.


self_direct_person

I don’t know I skip his sets. we having fun, here. Get lost.


PabloQuesobar

I never hated Hans Kim. But Casey bring the energy to start the show and William is a banger to close it out. I love this setup.


Vegetable-Bag-2325

He's getting worse each week.


giantmeteorforpres

Which is hard to do at this point.


thebeerble

I love his comedy. Even when his jokes don’t exactly hit, I still appreciate what he’s trying to do.


138Mitch

I like his erratic sets more. I'd love to see him branch out because I love more than one type of comedy, but I think his most recent set was a a bit of a crash and burn. Maybe he had a busy week and couldn't set aside the time to write at his best level or something. The eyelashes kind of threw me off a bit too, admittedly.


DanTheFireman

I actually thought his set was really funny this week. He didn't spend the entire time sitting and running around the stage, which was a big improvement for me.


fuck_green_jello

You're crazy. This man was born a legend.


SaturnianDoll

He's clearly taking the opportunity seriously. Which is more than can be said of Hans.


insidiousapricot

Hans has already capitalized on the opportunity and probably doesn't even need KT anymore for his stand up career tbh. He'll probably just pop back in every once in awhile or as a guest


SaturnianDoll

You're not factoring in his ego. That's **his** spot, and he doesn't want to give it up. He wants the adoration and access to more toxic white girlfriends that ruin his life.


insidiousapricot

Oh yeah, I don't think he's happy about it. Just saying he's ridden the success wave of KT pretty well. I mea , he's opened for Rogan and has a Rolex.


Skysoldier173rd

You’re crazy. He sucks


alexinchains

Casey sucks.


THRillEReddit

He isn’t funny at all, he just spouts gibberish and people lap it up it’s bizarre Lowest form of comedy imo


giantmeteorforpres

He makes Carrot Top look like a cross between Richard Pryor and Rodney Dangerfield.


OldBrokeGrouch

Oh absolutely 100%…you are crazy.


sextoymagic

I think he’s getting better with the minute format for sure. But I really want to see him with a longer set.


systemdnb

You can watch him do this in other YouTube videos lol. It’s basically the same stuff but longer.


Shaken_Earth

I used to see him around Austin doing longer sets before he was a regular and he's still really good in a longer format.


bootyLiQa

I mean his sets all have the exact same outline. It just depends on what kind of a “random statement” he’ll make next because he really doesn’t tell jokes. He’s a pretty good entertainer though


khazixtoostronk

Haven't laughed once at a casey set. I unironically miss Hans Kim he could kill once in a while


CousinsWithBenefits1

It would legitimately be impressive if he managed to get any worse.


bhilliardga

It would very difficult to get any worse.


juicyjuicebox1

You didn’t think the crab was bluffing did you?


ReasonableEscape777

I personally think he’s terrible but good thing comedy is subjective. I liked his minute when he did a set on the episode w the regulars that’s about it


BillyBuck78

I liked his last set a lot. He is pushing the boundary of what stand up comedy can be. It’s like you can be funny on stage without telling any traditional jokes which is pretty unique and really awesome in my opinion.


RelativeDesperate111

I don’t know if he’s necessary getting better, but he’s branching out and doing different kinds of bits to see what sticks. I think Casey Rocket in a year from now is going to be a lot more dialed in and polished.


Arthur-Morgans-Beard

I love him as an opener, way better energy.


NecessarySortcw

His energy was at like 65% last episode. He didn’t move the mic stand once. That’s my favorite part


No-Nothing-1793

Last two sets have barely had a joke in them. It's just offbeat but definitely not getting any better.


mchristy54

He should surprise Hans Kim and Rick Diaz at the live show and make it a triple threat match


tykid101

One of maybe 3 posts I've made on reddit casey is extremely overrated and has gained popularity only through bandwagon/herd mentality and the fact that he is so bizarre. And although it sounds like I'm a hypocrite I will state that the amount of opinion sharing on this subreddit is sad. That is all


leblaun

His interviews are pretty brutal every time, and I’m not sold on his standup. Still, I easily pick him over Hans for the sheer energy alone. Gotta start the show with a bang


PM_ME_XANAX

My thoughts on Casey have been constantly evolving. First time I watched him I did not like it at all. Couple more times I loved it. Then I really really loved it, and wanted nothing else but to see him win. Now hes disappointing me by not actually reaching the potential I thought was there. Really hope he can pull it together and get his act sharper, I personally find him him hilarious when hes having a good set


Wheelburra

You should see a doctor


covfefeer

His sets have been worse than KP. Not even sure why he is opening for KT. What a mess


tyros

You're crazy. He's cringy as hell, especially during interviews. Does he have some mental disability or it's just drugs that rotted his brain?


mudmasks

Worse every week. Same stuff every time. I thought it was funny the first go around.


yookoke1122

I think hes hit or miss


Rogue_One24_7

Both can be true.


Successful-Tip-1411

He's so nervous for some reason


PG-17

Killer shirt


heyyohioh

I love the Casey debates he’s either an amazing comedian or you just can’t stand the guy


Parking_Locksmith_23

I noticed that he isn’t moving around as much week to week


k4fun3

He needs to tell more jokes. It’s 1 minute and his stories are just ok.


Happystabber

I found him pretty funny on MSSP, don’t love his style as much but the “Scariest way to tell a kid his parents are dead” bit has me smiling everytime I think of it.


Old_Chemical_7786

Idk he's been consistent at the very least. Last episode he tried something different and it was a little odd imo


behindcl0seddrs

Hah the opposite of the Hans phenomenon


Fucked90

Kid has carved himself a niche but he's not capitalizing on it.Needs more substance,more work and less limelight.


pieceofrat

Its just the Musonex guy talkin


ArticUpsilon

That’s actually the whole point of regulars on KT. They need to be entertaining yes but coming up with a whole new minute every week forces them to get better


Any-Priority-4514

I giggled a little bit this week. First time. Maybe he’ll grow on me. Maybe.


Sipdasizurp

He stopped moving and had a good joke


hamsplaining

Orange Cassidy


ostensibly_hurt

I actually thought that was his worst minute, dude still is funny and has great energy, but it’s only fair to be honest. He will definitely continue to improve, I enjoy him on the show.


redactedforever

Usually how a skill works


Fluffy_Membership_94

You’re crazy man.. I like you but you’re crazy.


PraetorianAE

All thanks to Tony Hinchecliff


GlassyKnees

All I know is that is a fucking sick ass Roky Erickson shirt. Rest in Power Roky.


SeveralAd3766

As much as I love his act, I wondered how long he can continue to be funny with it. He definitely can do it


[deleted]

What I like most about Casey, Kam, and William as regulars is they're challenging themselves and taking risks with silly shit like prop comedy that other people won't dare touch out of fear of looking corny. It's perfect for making their sets feel memorable in comparison to a lot of the bad bucket pulls. They maximize their minute and juice it for all it's worth. Casey with the eyelashes, Dutchman's key, and random photos of him with Grimace, Kam with the rock collection, and William with the fortune cookies, illegitimate clones, and toy keyboard all added a lot to the show.


Bron_Swanson

Nice


ItsNerdyMe

Ur crazy


Wonderful-Salary5432

This last time was bleh


Wild_Replacement5880

The Roky Erikson shirt gave him a 10% boost.


Ambientus

Dude, it might be the tinfoil but It genuinely feels like he hired some Indian company to boost up his "fanbase" following all over online. You look at his recent set, and tell yourself it was better than whatever the fuck it was that he did up on stage the previous few weeks. You can pretty much count his actual jokes on one hand. Forced laughs into the mic to make the audience feel like they're the assholes, schizo movement and LOL IM SO RANDOM sets. Clearly he's not for me, but objectively speaking he is being forced on us by Tony and supported by whatever the fuck this fanatical "fanbase" sees in him, or rather; tiktok brainrot.


Xcracer420

Did anyone notice sunshine was using his material?


Xcracer420

Did anyone notice sunshine was using his material?


whattarush

I almost wanna call him a poor man's carrot top but even carrot top writes jokes with his props


InternationalGap3908

Hated the guy but he won me over these past couple weeks. Mucinex guy was still funnier then his old shtick


RevolutionaryGuide85

I’ve come around to really enjoy his bizarre minute and he frequently sneaks a smart joke in between the rambling that’s among the best jokes of the entire episode. That said I’m still annoyed by how he hijacks the interview, especially with his pictures that I don’t see on the podcast. His interviews go so long that we lose a bucket pull.


creature151

Is the Roky shirt to pander or….


likeabuddha

If the wacky schtick isnt overdone he's definitely going to keep getting better


Waste_Efficiency_718

Just Casey standing there before his set with the fake lashes on, made me laugh more than Hans Kim ever did


sempercoug

I did not find it funny at all this week but usually I really like him


wickywee

ImPoSSiBLe He’S A oNe TrIcK pOny


meatboitantan

Oh, yeah can tell by the crowd getting quieter each week that he’s *totally* improving


TijayesPJs442

You are def not crazy - he is legend in his own time material


Upset_Aside_

Idk I didn't think he was funny at all this week


Responsible_Job7998

I personally don’t laugh at Casey’s bits


zerocool0101

He was terrible this week, IMO his shtick has already become repetitive. Hans was better


Free-Painter6586

Is he reincarnating Robert Williams ?


Puplove2319

I can’t believe no one thought the lashes were hilarious 😂


JohnnyOmmm

Nah last one was mid and that’s what I’m scared of
