800 Pound Gorilla In the first two minutes of his new special “Silly Silly Fun Boy,” Pete Holmes quips about his “big, dumb Mormon face” (despite the fact that he is not Mormon) and admits to sticking Q-tips deep into his “ear G-spot” (despite the warnings on the package).
Right off the bat the humor is, as the title suggests, silly. But like with all of his sets, Holmes imbues wisdom in even the most juvenile of jokes. “It’s your resistance that creates the suffering,” he says later, sounding like a pull quote from a philosophy book. (It’s a punchline about pooping one’s pants while driving.)
