Some of the best shows that Comedy Central has ever produced have been their stand-up-centric series that feature popular comedians either performing their routines or simply telling stories in intimate settings, like on Pulp Comics and Dr. Katz, or Short Attention Span Theater to a lesser extent. That’s why I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the network’s web series, This is Not Happening, which features comedians telling incredible and crazy stories that they swear happened to them, all while they’re on stage at a strip club.
The latest clip features Jeff Dye telling a hilarious story about a crime that he committed, and it involves former Indianapolis Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt and a police case that is potentially still open. Just in time for Super Bowl XLVIII!
I don’t ever like to be the guy that nitpicks a stand-up comic’s act, because I respect the trade and appreciate a guy busting his ass to make a living telling jokes (unless your name is Carlos Mencia), but it really sounded from the voicemails like Vanderjagt was being pretty cool about these guys stealing his Pro Bowl jersey not once but twice. Hopefully, he’s fibbing for the sake of humor, but if not, man, Dye’s walking around with some Pro Bowl-sized balls to be bragging about this.

Deadspin ran a story on this guy and his accomplice a while back. I remembered thinking the story was not funny and just made the two of them sound like jerk offs.

I think the overall concensus was that they were douchebags and most people couldn’t believe they actually felt sorry for Mike Vanderjagt
Same story. This guy doesn’t come across as clever or funny. He’s just a fucking douchebag. He is such a jackass that he was actually able to get the majority of the Deadspin commentariat to support Vanderjagt.
So this dude stole an expensive personal keepsake, TWICE, but the guy he stole from didn’t have him prosecuted or just beat his ass in a bloody puddle and Vanderjagt is supposed to be a tool because he missed a field goal? This dude can get fucked with a rusty shovel.
I definitely agree with you as far as this dude being a dumbass for flaunting his ridiculously petty crime, as funny as it may be. But as a Colts fan who suffered thru the downfall of this Vanderjagt asshole, i have to say this is the first and only time ive ever heard anyone come to the defense of VanderShank

@KingEdward In 2010, I froze my balls off at the Linc watching Akers miss two FGs inside of 40 yards in a playoff game the Eagles lost by five points. Colts fans don’t have a monopoly on kicker-related pain. Jeff Dye is just a fucking asshole who lacks perspective and self-control.
kicker pain?? two words for you – Wide Right
In Da Buff wins
Fucking hilarious.
The best of this series by far is TJ Miller talking about his near-fatal seizure [www.youtube.com]
Some of the blame lies with the bartender. You ALWAYS check the bathrooms BEFORE you lock up.
agreed. that’s a great way to get yourself robbed after closing time when most of the night’s money hasn’t been dropped in the safe/locked up yet. and i also have to say that they (bar staff) should’ve easily spotted the two dudes that JUST stole this shit a few nights prior, and escorted them out before it happened again.
So not only is this not a funny bit (the guy comes off like a serious asshole), but it’s clear that he’s been doing it for a long time now. If this is his one bit that he keeps putting out to large audiences, and again, it’s not that funny, this should tell us all we need to know about his abilities as a comedian. Oh and I’m a Colts fan and have never once felt sorry for Vanderjagt.
I had no opinion of this guy before the clip.
I expected I would have a higher opinion of him for telling a funny story.
I think the story is funny but he’s an ass and should be far less proud of himself.
you’d think you have more of a sense of humor with a screen name like homo erectus lolz
I don’t care what you killjoys say, that was a great and funny story. The plight of the young attractive comedian.
Lmao Dude I think it was hilarious af you guys are just mad you didn’t think of it first :P mad respect
