You mentioned you're making a new show soon, a 'Wacky Jolly Reality.' What kind of show is it going to be?

It will follow the character of the jolly cat as he goes on jolly missions and tries to find his jolly princess etc

 

[wagglyplacebo]

I'm glad you aren't mad, Vinny. Wish I still lived in New york cause I would for sure drink beer with you.

 

[Taargus]

tries to find his jolly princess etc

Does this mean you'll be trying to pick up girls on the street? Or is it going to be corny scripted stuff?

When you say me i hope you mean me as the jolly cat. Yes the character is a buffoon who is talentless(yet antics make ppl laugh) and a bit corny but wholesome hence part of my message "purity over normality" so in conclusion i will flesh out the character on the streets or at clubs or anywhere jolly goes and i'm sure some of what he says will be found to be corny by humans whp are limited by their carnal views and mind. To those who let go and embrace, they will love the fool and what he does and hopefully he will indeed find his sweet and bubbly jolly princess

So when the Jolly Cat finally finds his jolly princess will you finally get laid??

I'm so confused.

Sure, yes, I mean that 'the jolly cat' would be doing these things in your show. None of this answers my question

You know, as much as it's easy to dog on the guy, I think I need to give credit where credit is due. Sure, his act is rather dumb and grating, but it does bring joy to people (sometimes, mainly on the subway). I saw a video of him where the audience, though they kinda looked uncomfortable at times, really seemed like they were having a good time. So, there's that.

What makes me not completely hate him like others who have been tye focus of several threads is this quote from him.

"If you're in your head, you will go insane, but if you're out of your mind you will be free, so be out of your mind."

Spoiler: Kinda powerlevelling

I do improvisational comedy, so this quote speaks to me as an improviser myself, but to me, it's also a bit more than that. I'm not trying to claim that he's some sort of deep thinker or anything, but I see this quote as something of a philosophy for a fulfilling life. The first part seems to be referring to a striving to be perfect or to have everything planned out. It might also be referring to simply being afraid to take any risks. With that in mind, he's kinda right. It's only when you let that go will you learn to enjoy life. That's at least what I'm getting from it. Not trying to defend the guy really, just this quote or motto of his really spoke to me.

As long as he's happy, then this Jolly Cat thing is fine. It will probably not go anywhere, but he seems content right now (for the most part, he has his insane moments). If I actually saw him in New York, I think I would at least be able to tolerate his act.

I have to commend him for having the courage to be that ridiculous in public. Again, his act is mediocre, but it takes balls (or just a lack of self-awareness) to actually do it in public.

TL;DR: The Jolly Cat/Vinny seems like an okay guy sometimes.

This is a valid take, but I just don't think that it genuinely makes him happy. He was getting fucked with for years, long before KF, and programs like AGT already exist to exploit his naivete. It might be an unhealthy thing for him.

Very true, I haven't thought about like that.Guess I can't rule out that his naiviette may cause him to perform in some bad places (or get tricked into doing a pay to play show, which I wouldn't be surprised if he has done already).

Just finished reading this thread, and I'd really love at some point to see a Jolly Cat / Dan Cilley crossover.

Although, you gave me some credit, you left out a bit much and that is because you haven't seen a show live in person or in video where people experience laughter and joy like never before and an experience that is original and magical to them. Many big applauses, big tips, and lots of messages from ppl online about how my character made their day. Also, i am no idiot even if i play one. All the shows i have performed on were pro shows and i was on them because the booker respects my work as i am respected in the industry for making ppl laugh hard while bringing a new and different atmosphere. When i do well, comics say i am a hard act to follow. Lastly, targus mentions agt but he doesn't mentiin that i only made it to tv because i was very funny as Jolly at my audition in 2015. Once i got to la i hadn't slept days, had lots of anxiety, and had lost my voice due to dumb stuff i did leading up to LA. Plus, when i gor there i didn't compromise when a producer wanted me to have a pyschic give me a reading on camera before i performed. Who knows, maybe that is why i was set up to look like a freak before i even stepped foot on stage. That experience only made me stronger and it won't take away from what i have done as Jolly or will do. I usually ignore all this silly and false stuff said about me and my work because i know who i am and i don't need anyones approval on here. God knows the great entertainment and message i bring and so do my fans all around nyc and beyond. My only point is that if you are going to say something, maybe try to get the facts straight and correctly. And also Big Jay Oakerson is a fan of my work and he and his friends come to many of my shows. Be well

You're right. I've never seen your act live (which is odd considering how often I've been to New York, but seeing as I mainly visit the Manhattan area, that might explain it), however, as a performer myself, I know that clubs and booking agencies will exploit desperation or naivete, so I can't rule that out.

All I can say, Vinny, is that you seem like you have a lot of passion for your work, and for that, I commend you.

All i will say is the laughter i bring is pure and genuine and most are envious of what i do so they try to knock it because they only wish they can do what i do. I have passion and i praise God for the gift to bring joy and make a difference rather than just go through the motions. You keep saying naivete. How is my character that when in realiy it brings entertainment and a message? You think ppl would try this hard to make me look bad if i wasn't doing something good? Trust me, God knows

Vinny, if we're to believe in God, it looks like he's treated you like shit over this whole jolly cat thing and he's showing no signs of letting up. Either it's not actually his mission for you, or he's a bit of a dick!

A much better comparison to the Jolly Cat is Kentray Brown, except instead of talking about WWE all the time, the Jolly Cat talks about God's will. They both have the "women today are evil whores" thing, both don't work, both never get laid but expect a "pure" woman to come along someday to be their perfect bride (or Jolly Princess, in Vinny's case), both live off the charity of others, both think they're much better than they are. I don't think Jolly Cat or Kent are truly threats though while Cilley is so delusional he can't function in society.

The best part is a woman pays for everything in Vinny's case.

Yeah, it's funny how so many of these "women should be barefoot and pregnant like in the Bible" types are 40-year-olds being supported by women.

Yep. To me, he's kind of like a Brooklyn Chris-Chan, except with a lot more freedom and, from the looks of it in ceratain videos, social skills as well. He has rather high goals that I'm not sure he'll achieve with his current act. At the very least, he should change it up once in a while.


Funny thing is that I'm kinda surprised he hasn't gone viral. His songs that he performs are kinda catchy (currently have his two most famous ones stuck in my head), so I'm surprised that he hasn't achieved some sort of viral internet success. Maybe his stuff started being uploaded too late for his stuff to "catch on?" I dunno, but I do know one thing: He would be much more successful if he focused on his ministry and not just having it as an add-on to his Jolly Cat act (he may claim his whole thing is his ministry, however).

The songs are "catchy" because they're so repetitive. In that big YouTube argument he was in, people pointed out that every character and song he does is one line repeated over and over. I know he claims that the characters are supposed to be simple, but how are they clever, interesting, or funny? What would make them go viral?

When you say he should focus on his ministry, I have to hope you're joking because listening to him say "Praise to God" every five seconds in between lashing at the 8 people watching his videos makes him seem like a hypocritical asshole.
