Julio Torres Stand-Up: My Favorite Shapes

  • 0:00 - 0:04
    Hello. Hello.
    Hi. Hi. Hi. Hello.
  • 0:04 - 0:07
    I have a lot of shapes
    and not a lot of time,
  • 0:07 - 0:08
    so let's just get started.
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    Okay?
  • 0:10 - 0:18
    The first shape that I want --
    need to show you is a rectangle
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    having a really bad day.
  • 0:23 - 0:28
    The, uh, the second shape
    that I have to show you...
  • 0:28 - 0:33
    uh, is a sphere,
    who you may recognize
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    for her current role
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    as a Ferrero Rocher chocolate.
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    And, originally, we had casted
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    a different Ferrero Rocher
    for this part.
  • 0:45 - 0:50
    But then I was backstage, and
    I was like, "Places, places."
  • 0:50 - 0:55
    And I was like, "Hold on.
    Where's your little skirt?"
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    [ Laughter ]
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    And the Ferrero Rocher was like,
    "No, I can do it."
    I was like, "Um, honey,
    I know you can do it,
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    but if you're not in costume,
    I don't know what to tell you."
  • 1:11 - 1:16
    And then this one was like,
    "I can do it."
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    This next shape
    that I must show you --
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    This is Jessica.
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    Jessica works in PR.
  • 1:30 - 1:35
    Jessica begins and ends every
    single e-mail with "A-S-A-P."
  • 1:40 - 1:45
    This next shape, this is me
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    coming in late for a meeting
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    and immediately chiming in.
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    [ Laughter ]
  • 1:57 - 2:01
    Uh, this next shape
    is actually a --
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    a garment that
    I've been meaning to design.
    How about...
  • 2:07 - 2:12
    a cape for a queen
    that is so, so long
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    that she doesn't know
  • 2:14 - 2:16
    that there's another queen
    at the end of it?
  • 2:16 - 2:18
    [ Laughter ]
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    But the cape has to be so long
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    that both queens
    can live their lives,
    just every now and then
    feeling a gentle tug.
  • 2:36 - 2:40
    I will now abruptly
    do an impression at you.
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    [ Clears throat ]
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    Okay, I'm sorry
    if you don't like what I do,
  • 2:44 - 2:45
    and I'm sorry if you don't like
    what I stand for you,
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    but I actually keep
    the economy going.
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    And I'm sorry,
    but we live in a nation of laws,
  • 2:49 - 2:50
    and rules are rules,
    and I'm sorry if you can't
  • 2:50 - 2:53
    handle that, but we live
    in a nation of laws.
  • 2:53 - 2:57
    That is...
  • 2:57 - 2:59
    that nasty little curtain
  • 2:59 - 3:02
    that divides first class
    from coach.
  • 3:02 - 3:05
    [ Laughter ]
  • 3:13 - 3:19
    To be a curtain and pick that
    as your curtain job
    is like, "Who hurt you?"
  • 3:24 - 3:27
    I, uh...
  • 3:27 - 3:29
    I was recently on this --
    on this airplane.
    It was a very small airplane
    that had been remodeled
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    so as to accommodate
    a first class.
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    And I was sitting
    on the first row of coach,
  • 3:37 - 3:40
    and my seat didn't have
    a first-class seat
  • 3:40 - 3:41
    directly in front of it.
  • 3:41 - 3:43
    It just looked into the hallway.
  • 3:43 - 3:45
    So then when
    the flight attendant came over
  • 3:45 - 3:49
    and drew the curtain
    dividing the people,
  • 3:49 - 3:53
    the curtain fell
    right in front of my face.
  • 3:53 - 3:58
    Like, I was a secret
    for first class.
  • 3:58 - 4:00
    Then I crossed my legs,
  • 4:00 - 4:03
    and my knee
    gently caressed the curtain,
  • 4:03 - 4:05
    causing it to fall.
    So then the flight attendant
    came over
  • 4:07 - 4:09
    and just, like,
    immediately reattached it.
  • 4:09 - 4:12
    And I said,
    "Can you not do that?
  • 4:12 - 4:14
    'Cause I'm just
    going to move slightly,
    and the curtain's gonna fall
    all over again."
  • 4:17 - 4:21
    And she says "No, we have to."
  • 4:21 - 4:22
    I'm like, "Okay.
    But, once again, I'm just gonna
    make the slightest movement,
  • 4:25 - 4:27
    and the curtain's gonna fall
    all over again.
  • 4:27 - 4:29
    Can you just not put it up?"
    And she goes, "No, we have to."
  • 4:32 - 4:36
    And then I asked...
  • 4:36 - 4:38
    "Why?"
  • 4:39 - 4:43
    And in her eyes,
    I saw meteors falling,
  • 4:43 - 4:47
    flowers blooming,
    and animals decomposing.
  • 4:47 - 4:50
    And suddenly, she was free.
    I had released her.
  • 4:53 - 4:55
    [ Applause ]
  • 5:00 - 5:05
    You know, doing what I do,
    which is this...
  • 5:05 - 5:12
    uh, I have often been described
    as too niche.
  • 5:12 - 5:16
    To which I'll say,
    I have no idea
  • 5:16 - 5:19
    what you could possibly
    be talking about.
  • 5:21 - 5:25
    So, I bought little chairs
    for all of my crystals.
  • 5:25 - 5:27
    Little chairs and little desks.
  • 5:27 - 5:29
    Because I don't know
    if crystals work,
  • 5:29 - 5:33
    but I just need them
    to be prepared just in case.
  • 5:33 - 5:37
    Um, well, unless
    there are any questions,
  • 5:37 - 5:40
    uh, I think we're done here.
    Um, thank you so much.
  • 5:42 - 5:44
    [ Cheers and applause ]
