Holy shit he did a full fucking hour.
Hello from New England. Very funny stuff! Thank you.
1. My Brooklyn husband and I are SO cracking up at this vid! BWAHAHAHA!
2. Oh, PLEASE-It's NEENAH-Menasha! (all my people are from there, and Waupaca, and Waukesha, and Oshkosh, and Appleton, and Milwaukee, etc. We're talking about the Parmenter and Pope families)
3. You can ACTUALLY REMEMBER the 2007 Senator Larry Craig incident at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport?!!! Cripes!
4. I had my first drink in Milwaukee when the drinking age was 18. I was 18, but my sister used my cousin's ID.
4a. This is when I learned to enjoy cold pizza the next day while enjoying a hangover.
5. "Ice fishing leads to prostitution". Well, they DO have something in common…<sniff>
6. The only way you can refuse leftovers is if you've had a gastric sleeve gastrectomy surgery and your stomach is a big as a walnut.
7. Having a minivan as a car when you're younger is an automotive tin can on one's tail.
8. I love Wisconsin, and you SO rock, Charlie! You need to come back out here to SoCal (& I need to go back to my people.).
As a california native, I got the chance to try Wisconsin grown weed one time when my band was on tour in chicago. It was good! And that was like ten years ago, I'm sure it's come a long way since. Stoked for emerging midwest weed culture. Anyway tell your folks i said hi 🙂
I've been alive for 39 years, every one of them spent living in Wisconsin. Have stepped foot in all 72 counties of this beautiful state. Have never heard a single person call a water fountain a bubbler.
Tell your folks I says hi
If anyone wants to know what Canada is like, well ya no for sure, here it is
Widow's ball is only Wisconsin
Daaaaamn,I'm hype for this…Luv ya Charlie. Come to Philly or jersey bro. I watch all ur shit…Appreciate ur work…..u da man bro!!!💯💯💯
Cripes, that 1st joke had more fat on it then my 2nd mother in law
Does this pass for funny in Wisconsin?
Bravo!
First time hearing Charlie and he was great .. 😂
How did I miss this notification what the heck?! Haha. Been a fan for years here in Racine, WI. 🙂 Here we go time to enjoy and laugh for the next hour. YouTube for starters and can't wait for the Netflix or HBO special next .
Great show Charlie! That Catholic guilt will get you every time! Hope to see you in person some day.
by 1 more than all did you Mean Bill Clinton?
Not sure what the motivation behind giving away gold was, but a free full stand-up special was friggen awesome. Thanks? Feels like I need to check our your tour dates now.
As a native Wisconsinite living in NY, Charlie's humor is so fabulous to enjoy. I missed his show in Syracuse but really hoping he heads out this way again!
With the title being "Midwest Goodbye" and the video being an hour long, I'd say he's summed it up pretty well. Lmao
Attended this show! It was a riot!
How can you have a special called the Midwest goodbye it doesn't even last 1/4 as long as a real Midwest goodbye
Hilarious comedian. Appreciate your comedy, Charlie.
Yay!
Loved this!!!! Netflix next –
Is that the miller light theater?
He kinda sounds like Chris Farley.
Truly wholesome comedy 👍👍👍
Come on man, Larry Craig just had a wide stance.
So glad this special is finally out
Wow, the auction at the end, good on ya Charlie!
As an Iowan hearing all the trash talk about Illinois/Chicago fills my heart with pure joy.
Wha!? Was there a full on auction in the middle of the Midwest goodbye at the end? Amazing! 😁
Is he from the midwest?
Man I love Manitowoc minute
