Met John in Ottawa about 13 years ago when we took our kids to see him because he was one of the few clean acts. After a great show in which I never saw my wife and kids laugh so much, we bought one of his audio CDs and stood in line to get it autographed. When it was finally our turn, he immediately noticed we only had one cd between the kids and proceeded to give us another one and sign them both. He was such a personable man. You felt like you'd known him forever. The whole family was so sad to hear of his passing. He is missed but not forgotten.

What a wonderful story, Christopher. When I introduce John to people who never had the chance to listen to him the line I always use is, "I don't know what gluten is but it must be delicious!" He was funny, of course and one of the best (actually to me, my favorite) and the artistry of his routines was something the whole family could relate to. He was a true artist and a comedic master.

What a gift he was

I wish he was still around to go see a show if his because I know I would be laughing with everybody else at a comedy show for once! 😂

It's sad when the great comedians die young . I never had a chance to see John Pinette.

What talent this man was..so happy to see these clips again..

My all time favorite! So funny and something that should be appreciated is the work he puts into his routines. He was a comedic master. It's now Dec 30, 2023, and I still take every opportunity to introduce John to everyone. How many times have some of us seen these video's? And, we laugh every time. His Montreal video's are very special.

John you are truly missed , thank you for so many smiles.

Now this is the kind of celebrity you want to meet! I wish I’d known about him when he was touring. I only saw him on tv. Seems very down to earth. 👍

John Pinette was such a delightful comedian. He didn't have to spray us with foul language to be comical. Funny, how comedians seem to think foul language is necessary, but I digress. He had such wonderful gifts! The expressions on his face were priceless. His coined phrase, "Nay! Nay!" cracks me up every time I hear him say it. After hearing his impressions, (in my opinion) he also, could have had other careers to choose from, although, I am very glad John chose comedy. His comedy still entertains the many, and will continue as long as we remember. I wonder if he had any idea how much he would be missed by his fans? As far as I am concerned, the happiness and laughter that John Pinette left behind, will not be forgotten! Rest in Peace, you dear man!

Will truly miss this incredible young mans comedy in my life! Why does it seem like only the good die young?.. One of the absolute best comics I've ever had the pleasure to listen to, the man had a style and stories all his own.

Ive watched this over and over and still laugh as hard as if it was my first time..such a funny man..RIP

Didn't he have the sweetest smile?

Truly the best of clean intelligent comedy

For all his "bluster", he had such a good heart. You can see how much he loved his audience and how it returned the sentiment in equal measure.

"I hit the water...oh God! Those people shouldn't have been there!" XD

"Hiking is a walk that sucks." God I miss this man!

When I heard that he’d passed it kind of reminded me of John Candy, another young comic taken too soon. RIP you were a funny guy :)

John! You Will Be Missed. There will Never be another you.

This is one of his best performances in my opinion.

Gone but he will Never be Forgotten. RIP 🙏. If I'm having a bad day John makes me forget what was bothering me. 🙏🙏

I can just see him in a white ski suit flying down the mountain. 😂

Comedy comes from hardship and sadness and unfortunately John's comedy poking fun at his food addiction was just a precursor to his early death. That said, I always admired him and I particularly applaud his recognition as an American to adjust his routine for a Canadian audience and his acknowledgements in French. Classy and respectful.
