I feel like John Mulaney is THIS close to writing a straight up broadway musical about his fictionalized childhood. Like the movie A Christmas Story, it would just be a bunch of odd vignettes about stuff that happened to him. Every song would be funny/sad like this one.

The boy's facial expressions and mannerisms do make it look like he could be young John Mulaney.

“Why does everyone hate Paul? He ain’t killed my grandpa! He don’t do nothin’ at all.”

[elderflower]

I cannot get over how good this kid is like what. this is not allowed.

[emmablanche]

hmmmm... doesn’t do anything, just reads his mysteries, hums, and eats all the cashews?

am...i paul?

[jm_rres]

he just reads his mysteries

[agiddysea]

This song is waaaay too specific to not have actually happened.

[andrewspencer]

"Did you have grandparents?"
"In a sense. Both of my parents had two parents so yeah."

[olive.shmolive]

how has no one mentioned the *BACKUP SINGERS*

This has John Mulaney written all over it, and I'm in love with it.

[bkzangelalwayz]

I am thoroughly impressed. This is such a creative concept. The talented young John, the harmonies, the storytelling, the geriatric version of the Andrews Sisters, I am here for it.

[nathang]

I think I'm starting to like Paul

[JohnVC]

This kid's got a better vibrato than then most recording artists

[pseudoaliaist]

my grandma’s second husband’s name was paul so this song hits close to home 😔😔😔

[meg-wtrg]

My moms boyfriends name is Paul and I can’t stop picturing my unborn children singing this

[ShartinScorsese]

Read an interview with Mulaney— this is a TRUE story from his childhood!! God I love this song and entire special.

[emma.no.stop.]

It took me a second but the humming at the end is Modern Major General (Gilbert and Sullivan)

I can relate to this. When I was thirteen years old, my grandfather passed away. When I was fourteen, my grandmother had a close male friend who came over every day, and went everywhere with her. My mom didn’t like him either, but he stayed by grandmother’s side when she had cancer.

It took me so long to realize that it's Charlie Bucket from Broadway.

2:48 don't make grandma cry. Don't make her feel bad she found love! Paul didn't kill your dad! Leave paul alone!
