Ryan Hamilton: A Joke About Social Media And Fame

Ryan Hamilton (0:06)

I've been eking it out like this, a little word of mouth, here and there. I'm supposed to be a social media star. That's the way the world works, and you are, too, by the way. I don't care who you are, it's coming for you, too. You want to be a decent dentist, you better learn to be funny online once in a while. That's the world we live in. You want to straighten people's teeth for a living, you better also shuck and jive on TikTok.

I have famous friends, I don't know if that helps you. People that if you saw me with, you would think, that really surprises me.

It surprises me, too. Some nights I'm out, everybody's shouting out names. One night somebody goes, Ryan Hamilton. Now, I'll take just a moment to remind a few of you that that's my name.

And I get excited by this because I want to show my famous friends that I've got a fan or two out in the world, right? And this guy walked up and he said, I know you from Google, which is oh so deflating. I mean, are we not all on Google? What do you know me from? My hot LinkedIn account? Or what do you mean Google? And then he said, well, my name's also Ryan Hamilton.

And every time I Google my name, that face pops up. And he said that face, like he didn't want to walk around with his name, you know? And I go, do you know what I do? He goes, I think you're a stand up comedian. And I go, that's what I thought. I've never seen anything that I've done. And he said, I will never see anything that you do. He didn't like that I existed in the world. And I asked, what do you do? But guess what, I already knew, because I Google my name too. And yeah, this guy's about seven Google searches down from me. I mean, what a loser, right? So watch Ryan Hamilton, This Just Hit Me, only on Netflix.
