Life doesn't make sense. That's why comedy is so important. It helps us make sense of the world by making us laugh at the absurdities of life.
Pete Holmes is a stand-up comedian and actor who understands this better than anyone. His hbo comedy special, "Dirty Clean," is a hilarious and insightful look at the world of comedy.
Holmes began his career as a comedian in the early 2000s, performing at clubs and colleges across the country. He quickly developed a unique style of comedy that combines smart observations with goofy physicality.
In "Dirty Clean," Holmes takes this approach to hilarious new heights. He tackles everything from the art of joke-telling to the perils of social media. And he does it all with his trademark mix of wit and charm.
Whether you're a die-hard comedy fan or just looking for a good laugh, "Dirty Clean" is a must-watch. Pete Holmes is a comic genius, and this special is proof positive.

Nothing makes fucking sense.
Life makes no sense.
You're on a planet right now.
You think you're in America? Zoom out.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
You're on a space rock, floating in nothingness,
infinite nothingness,
and the infinite nothingness is expanding.
That means endlessness is getting bigger.
That makes no fucking sense.
(APPLAUSE)
We all just act like it's normal.
Like "Oh, everything's made of molecules. Okay.
Got it. I'll never think about that again."
I'm made of molecules, you're made of molecules,
the air between us, it's all made of molecules.
That makes no fucking sense.
These molecules know they're molecules?
These molecules are like, "I'm Pete!"
That doesn't make any sense!
This stool is made of molecules.
The same molecules in my hand.
In fact, some of the molecules in this stool
went into me while I've been talking.
And some that were me have gone into the stool.
And you know, when I knock these molecules
into these molecules, when we ask science,
"Why don't they go through each other?"
You know what the answer is?
"We don't know."
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
That doesn't make any fucking sense!
(APPLAUSE)
