Andrey Ayrapetov: Pick-Me Nihilism

Enjoy watching, and remember: every nihilist, when alone, is a pick-me!

“Pick-Me Nihilism” was originally meant to be a mixtape of jokes that just wouldn’t fit into another special, but it turned into a very cohesive, solid, and funny piece of work! Vibe-wise, it’s closer to “40 Minutes of Sex With Yourself” — which is my favorite special of all time. Same relaxed feel, sometimes silly, no pretensions — just jokes on all kinds of topics. I also like that some of the material here is downright stupid or gross, with no attempts at turning it into theater, orchestras, or high drama. No Tarkovsky — just pure stand-up!
