Andrew Schulz: Stop Filtering Yourself. Be REAL

We all want to be liked and respected while being our unfiltered selves. And one of the fastest ways to make people like you is to make them laugh. That's why in this video, we're going to talk about Andrew Schultz, a comedian who's popular for his ability to make people laugh, even while he's making fun of them. Here's a quick example. Watch the reaction of the guy he's teasing.

You're not gonna. How old are you guys? Just turned 18 yesterday. Let me. Everybody stop. Let me help you. Let me help you answer that question again, okay? Do not ever say just turned 18 again in your life. You're not the brazzers title that you just gave me for her.

Schultz's popularity is most impressive because he isn't a people pleaser. He leans heavily into jokes that most people wouldn't consider PC. Yet his videos are well received, even in today's era of cancel culture. Today, we'll go through five tactics that will let you joke around unfiltered. The goal isn't to make all of your jokes roasts. It's to give you the mental freedom to share whatever funny thoughts come to mind, knowing people will laugh instead of being upset. Also, quick warning for this video. We're talking about a comedian whose jokes are potentially offensive. But if you stick through to the end, you'll see there's a lot to be learned from him. Now, if you want to joke about people, you have to establish it's all in good fun. One easy way to do that is to start by joking about people you obviously like. For instance, here Schultz is roasting two of his friends for their stances on masks.

As you can see, Brendan is very anti mask, which is shocking to me, because if he gets the Chinese flu, this will be the second big country to knock him out. Now, on the other side, my buddy Neil Brennan, who looks like an injured bird, is adamant about wearing a mask. And I get that, too. Let's be honest, if Neil gets it, he's gonna die. Look at him. He's got the immune system of the Dallas Buyers Club.

Now, if Schultz makes a joke about you or one of your beliefs, you know he doesn't have ill intent. He's established that he teases his friends. The risk here is how do you make sure your friends also know it's all in good fun? The easiest way is to tease yourself. For example, here Schultz talking about how any profiteering off the George Floyd riots is a form of looting. Notice how he insults himself.

Also, if You're a news outlet that hand selects clips to fit your network's biased narrative. You you're looting. And if you're a handsome comedian with a great smile and ears like Dobby, and you're talking about this event, that's not looting. I just can't get on stage because Chinese people keep eating bats.

Some people may feel that bat joke isn't nice, but imagine you're in person with him and you've just laughed at his friend's MMA loss, his other friend's skinny frame, and his big ears. It makes it easier to laugh at yourself instead of being upset. If you're the butt of all of your jokes, you can come off as insecure. When you mix it in while teasing other people, it softens your other teases and it shows confidence. Another thing that will help you get laughs is answering some questions with purposefully absurd answers. For example, in his recent Joe Rogan appearance, Joe asks if a murderer could be so attractive that you'd still sleep with her. Watch how Schultz takes a potentially genuine question and makes his answer so absurd that you have to know he's joking.

Now imagine Adriana Lima. Yes, she killed her husband, but I'll clean it up. Guy was a him up. No, no, no, no guys. A piece of he could be the kindest man ever. He she could kill him while he's, like, feeding.

For example, here he is talking about Joe Biden.

He's the ideal candidate not only for a clinical trial for dementia, but also to be the leader of the free world. Now, I know what you're thinking. How can he stop Trump if he can't stop wetting the bed? I'll tell you how.

And here he is Talking about why Tekashi 6ix9 should run for president.

I know exactly what he should do next. Run for president. Now, I know you're thinking, how could he be president with all that stupid shit on his face? Or that dumb hair? Or lack of political experience? He's a fraud. He wasn't even part of that gang. He just used them to sell an image to the public to gain power. Not so crazy now, is it?

If you don't care about American politics, then this is likely to make you laugh and not offend you. If you do care about American politics, you likely agree that at least one of these candidates isn't fit to be president. So you probably liked at least one of those jokes. In general, once you make someone laugh at something they agree with, you'll find it easier to get them to laugh at themselves. Now it's worth repeating. The goal isn't just to roast people all the time. These tools are meant to empower you to drop your filter and have more confidence to share your thoughts, knowing you can do so in a way that will make people laugh. It's also worth noting Schulz may pretend to be a jerk with his comedy, but his actions show him to be a kind person. When a man showed up to his show in a wheelchair, he personally helped carry him down the stairs. When a woman had a seizure at his show, the audience stayed in their seats, but he went to make sure she was okay. Schultz shares that last story very well here, and it illustrates today's emphasis on policing speech versus taking action.

She had a seizure at the show. We checked on her, she was fine. She leaves, everything's good. So I started to make fun of what happened in the situation and a girl in the crowd stood up. She's like, you can't make jokes about that. That's not funny. And I asked what she did for a living. She said she was an em. And I was like, why didn't you help? And you know why she didn't help is because this is what we do now. We complain, but we don't help because we think that's enough.

Charlie and I had been planning another Charity Water fundraiser, and this seems like a great point to tie it to. So in honor of Schultz's plea to actually help, we're donating $100,000 to charity water. This donation is only possible thanks to you. If you've watched our videos or joined Charisma University, you are the reason that we can help over 3,000 people gain access to clean water who wouldn't otherwise have it. Because of you, their lives will be changed forever. So thank you if you feel inspired to help personally as well. Just $30 gives someone access to clean water for 10 years. That's life changing. And even a $1 donation makes a difference. It might not seem like much, but you help fund the cause and you show these communities that there are people who care about them. We set up the fundraiser@charitywater.org Charisma the first $100,000 is already in there, and if you're feeling inspired by Schultz or us or the people you'd be helping, please consider donating. I'll put a link up now on screen and in the description below. I hope you've enjoyed this video and I'll see you in the next.

Times in his life. Come on, bro, say that you got.

It again the joke touches on race, but unless you find accents offensive, no part of that is anti black or anti Mexican. Here's one more example, and I'm going to start it with the audience member speaking so you can see that Schultz is imitating his accent specifically and not saying everyone in that group speaks like this.

I was born October 11, 1988. Inaugural coming out there.

I'm the gay.
