Watch any popular animated television show marketed to adults and, odds are, you’ve heard the vocal stylings of H. Jon Benjamin. Currently the star of FX’s “Archer” and Fox’s “Bob Burgers” as both titular characters, he’s also appeared on “Family Guy,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” and most recently, “Master of None.” While Benjamin is most known for his work in the studio, he is also a hilarious stand-up comedian, as he showed a crowded Sherman Function Hall full of Brandeis students on Tuesday night.

As soon as he came on the stage, Benjamin made it clear that he had done his research on Brandeis; in fact, as he would tell the audience, he applied to Brandeis when he was young but did not get in. Instead of introducing himself, Benjamin opened a bottle of grape juice and began pouring it out for the crowd with a prayer or he tried to. Once he realized the bottle would not open, he gave up, asking the crowd “too Jewish?” with a knowing smile.

He also pointed out the absurdity of how the University can unhelpfully try to help with pronunciation. Apparently, in his dressing room, someone had helpfully put up a poster that said “Welcome to Brandeis” with the word “dice” in parenthesis underneath. Benjamin wanted to know if “the Dice” was a nickname for Brandeis, joking “Brandeis University. The Dice. Let it roll,” to laughter and cheers.

Something that Benjamin did that really seemed to please the crowd was how he gave out odd gifts to the crowd. For instance, at one point in the show, Benjamin threw pairs of socks from a large bag into the crowd. Students eagerly screamed and jumped up to get a pair. Encouraged by the enthusiasm, Benjamin put the bag on the ground so more people could get them. Students swarmed the bag, and things quickly got out of control.

When he saw a student crushed between the crowd and the edge of the stage, Benjamin put an end to the madness by grabbing the bag, declaring “I feel like that’s how riots start.” A few minutes later, Benjamin had another give-away, but this one had a story. As he explained, there is an old-fashioned sex toy store in his neighborhood — “a real neighborhood dildo shop; there’s not many left.” Apparently, this sex toy store sells a device called the Accommodator, a facial harness contraption that attaches a sex toy at the wearer’s chin. Benjamin showed a short video sketch he did about the awkwardness of the Accommodator and threw the device into the crowd once the video was done.

One routine that the crowd went nuts for was when Benjamin read aloud a text conversation between his nine-year-old son Judah and one of Judah’s best friends, Cody. The text messages simply involved the two boys bickering, trying to use slang and talking about girls and basketball. However, it was Benjamin’s perfect timing and deadpan delivery that made the moment so funny. In one part of the exchange, Judah texted Cody “sup” and “hello” repeatedly before finally asking, “You there?” Benjamin increasingly sped up the time between each “sup” and “hello,” implying how desperate and annoying Judah must have seemed in the moment. Later, when Cody and Judah were arguing about whether or not a girl in their class was cute, Cody claimed the girl in question looked like Kate Upton. Judah replied with “Kate Shut Upton,” something that made even Benjamin laugh.

After Benjamin finished his set, Eugene Mirman, Benjamin’s co-star on “Bob’s Burgers” as the voice of Gene Belcher, did some stand-up as well, although his stand-up focused more on using funny examples and lists rather than telling specific stories. In one part of his routine, Mirman talked about how he accidentally got put on a Christian email service after signing up for a dating website as a joke. Part of the email service included an “ask the pastor” function, something that Mirman heartily abused, emailing a series of inane and escalating questions that ended with “I’ve been listening to jazz. Am I still a virgin?”

After that segment, Mirman continued the same style but with a different premise. He shared how he always sees weird and funny signs in bathrooms and decided to make his own laminated signs to put up in public spaces. Each example became increasingly absurd, but the funniest by far was “divorce is not an option,” which he put in a church bathroom.

Like Benjamin, Mirman utilized a sound system and video screen, but he also brought along many props to use. For example, Mirman wanted to demonstrate the things he could do with Amazon Echo, an AI service similar to Siri on iPhones. He got the echo to read off a series of funny lists and say funny things, but it started malfunctioning. Mirman tried to reset it by telling it to play a rock song. The Echo agreed and paused the song when asked, but a few minutes later, resumed the song out of nowhere. The crowd howled with laughter and danced along as Mirman struggled to turn it off. Finally, he shrugged and said, “That’s how you know what artificial intelligence is. It’s a robot that’s like ‘no, let’s keep rocking.’”

Mirman and Benjamin were both very funny, albeit in different ways. Where Mirman was wacky and loud, Benjamin was a bit darker. Although the event was advertised primarily around Benjamin, both comedians performed for about the same length of time, leading to confusion in the audience, which had expected Mirman to open for Benjamin. Despite this, both stand-up shows were hilarious, and the audience left the room still giggling.
