2 minTim recounts a comedian friend's disastrous pro-Trump joke at a Halloween show and a table of women physically moving away from them at a Ukrainian restaurant over political conversation, then revisits his own controversial 'Nazi grandfather' stand-up bit.
- 4:19Tim goes to Vysalka, a Ukrainian restaurant in the East Village, and starts riffing about Trump at dinner.
- 4:49Anthony Kumiya's observation that the Trump movie doesn't end with Trump losing, so it feels like you're in a doomsday film.
- 5:02A couple at the next table physically picks up their entire table and moves it away to escape Tim's conversation.
- 5:30The opening bit was 'my grandpa was a Nazi,' a joke that doesn't preface itself or signal where it's heading.
- 5:59The punchline unfolds: the grandfather didn't do anything bad, he just drove the truck—the truck of Jews to the train.
- 6:15Tim's closer: 'He came and paid his Jews and a borscht route,' a bit he says will go down in the annals of comedy history.
