Hey gang, I shot this special on 2/22/22. No budget, no fancy producers, no sleezy network execs asking me to explain jokes. Just a couple of friends with cameras and some wet ass polished material on my mind. At the time, freedom of speech in comedy and the role of comedians in our society was a heated discussion. Oh shit, still topical! Anyway, in the spirit of that 2'sday date, thought I’d give my 2 cents for my 2nd special. “Martyr in a Safe Space” because that’s basically what a comedian is nowadays, at a comedy show at least. Outside you’re on your own. Are you willing to die for your jokes?
Be safe everyone xoxo

    I'm Israeli and I love your comedy. I don't care to get offended if it's funny.. love you cousin!
  • Why is this not going viral yet?! This set is wayyyyyyyy better than some of the Netflix special l have seen in recent times.
  • Can’t believe this is from a year ago and so bloody relevant right now.
  • It's December 2023 and I gravitate towards Palestinian comedy for therapy. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole set, very clever, funny and masterful juggling of lines!😂

    I'm literally taking notes. This is next level comedy and I can prove it mathematically.
  • @BibaBamba
    Palestine/Gaza algorithm brought me here and it’s the only “positive” to come out of the heartbreaking situation 🥹❤️ Thanks for the laughs ❤️❤️❤️
  • @rmbull28
    Excellent. Glad this has come up on my feed recently. Oh, and by the way, from a Jew ... Free Palestine!
  • @KarmaTSVb
    I love this man. His POV is fresh, unapologetic, respectful, intellectually challenging norms, a little irreverence, and hilarious observational points of view.
  • @DarkPesco
    Been doing a lot of research on Palestine vs. The Zionists due to recent events. I guess my searches and watches caused the algorithm to suggest you as someone I might like and for once the algorithm was 100% correct! Saw a short clip, checked out your channel, started watching this video and subscribed!

    I don't know how on earth this is not a netflix special? 😂😂😂😂
  • @deanneshane3799
    That " its ok if you get offended. It means youre human". Im gonna use that as a Sammy Obeid line in future

    Just saw you on Bad Hasbara and then came here... Dude, literally one of the best, most intelligent comedy specials I've seen in a long time! Sadly, you probably have tons of new material after these last few months. But I look forward to it all! It's hard to laugh in these times, but you break right through that. There's something special about being able to laugh while my heart is in such anguish over what's happening over there. It only brings more awareness and exposes the hypocrisy, and I love how you've used your routine to point these things out as well. The only comedy I really care for is that which requires intelligence or breaks down my own biases in ways I was unaware of. I think you have done that wonderfully! Cheers!

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your punchlines are royalty waiting gracefully to be ushered in. Love you, bro!
  • I learnt about Palestine situation in my late school days & it became One of the most serious topics ever, while cut to today, never thought I'd get a fresh refresher from a comedy SPL 🤣🙌🤩
  • @artmom1000
    One of the best. Smart. Hilarious. I love Sammy’s comedy. He weaves right through the audiences biases with perfect jokes/stories and shatters any possibility of ignoring the message. 10/10: watch this.
  • @hendy24
    The DJ Khalid and Jesus joke was absolutely perfect
  • Love your writing, dude. It was a pleasure working together at Hilarities. Voting for you in '36.

    I felt like it steadily kept getting better. There were so many gems: The phallic American missiles, the apex of the maximization equation, the racist "this guy gets it" line, the bit contrasting the Israeli magician's complaint with him in an Iraqi comedy club, the Inca-Mayan punchline, the "not a prophet" punchline and that's enough of whatever I'm doing here. Point being: I'm a fan now. Hope you come to NY!
