Joe Pera Talks With You is a series airing on [adult swim]. It stars soft-spoken comedian Joe Pera, who previously appeared on the network with his specials Joe Pera Talks You to Sleep and Joe Pera Helps You Find the Perfect Christmas Tree, set in the same universe. Joe is best described as a man in his thirties with the demeanor and behavior of someone much older. He's very quiet, humble, polite and gentle, and loves living in his small town of Marquette, Michigan, where he works as a middle school choir teacher. Each episode covers a different subject of interest to Joe, such as breakfast, iron, grocery shopping or lighthouses. the first season of nine episodes began on May 20, 2018, and the second season began December 6, 2019. a third special entitled Relaxing Old Footage with Joe Pera was released May 20, 2020, and third and final season began on November 7, 2021, before the series was officially canceled on July 7th, 2022. In 2023, Joe Pera announced Drifting Off with Joe Pera, a podcast produced independently from [adult swim] that carries the same spirit as the show, although with Joe speaking as himself rather than as a choir teacher.

Raised by Grandparents
 Joe Pera Talks With You / int_27af99f1
comment
Raised by Grandparents: Not explicitly mentioned in the show, but Joe's actual parents are never really mentioned, and his grandparents from both sides of the family appear in flashbacks to his childhood, and adult Joe spends a lot of time with his Nana. This might explain a lot of Joe's old man mannerisms. This is further implied by Nana's obituary, which says she is survived by her grandson, with no mention of either of Joe's parents. (In an interview about the show, Pera explicitly notes that the character was raised by his grandparents.)

No Fourth Wall: As one might expect from the title, Joe is talking directly to you. The episode "Joe Pera Helps You Write an Obituary" has Sarah also talk directly to you, as she takes over addressing the viewer and directs you outside to give the grieving Joe some space to write his Nana's obituary. She talks about what types of plants you can eat and which will kill you.

Spock Speak: Joe talks in a gentle, monotonous manner, never raising his voice, even when he's excited about something. Like breakfast. He actually does raise his voice in "Joe Pera Reads You the Church Announcements," wherein he becomes extremely excited after hearing "Baba O'Riley" by The Who for the first time, also also starts drinking Starbucks coffee after staying awake for three days straight.

Joe admits when he's talking about going to his first ever bachelor party that he was nervous because he doesn't really hang out with people his age.

Just as he's starting to cheer up, Nana Pera dies, and the two friends who actually took part in the race come home to find Joe and Sarah devastated by the news. The episode ends with Joe sadly putting away the chairs he'd set out for everyone earlier.

comment
Absurd Phobia: Joe is apparently afraid of jack-o-lanterns. Gene theorizes it's because whenever you carve a jack-o-lantern, you give it 1/16th of your soul. Joe takes a drive every year on the Saturday following Halloween to reflect on why they unnerve him and to "grow his soul back". He mentions in "Joe Pera Discusses School Appropriate Entertainment With You" that near the top of his list of fears is getting bitten on the nose by a snake and dying with a swollen honker in a British hospital, but the perfectly rational fear of losing his job is scarier.

She assumes, that with the calm and long and useless topics that Joe talks about, he won't be ready for any real dangers.

In "Joe Pera Lights Up the Night with You," he has an Imagine Spot of Sarah out partying where he assumes everyone is "doing a cool new dance move," which to Joe is apparently raising the roof.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Every episode title begins with "Joe Pera" and is followed by whatever he does in the episode, like "Joe Pera Shows You Iron" or "Joe Pera Takes You to Breakfast".

Halfway Plot Switch

comment
Halfway Plot Switch: "Joe Pera Shows You Iron" starts with Joe beginning a presentation on iron, but getting interrupted by the Melsky family, who thinks his house is for sale. The rest of the episode is about Joe contemplating whether he should sell them his house, but still manages to throw in some facts about rock formation and geology. "Joe Pera Reads You the Church Announcements" starts with Joe doing the church announcements, but then he starts talking about how much he loves "Baba O'Riley" by The Who. "Joe Pera Talks to You About the Rat Wars of Alberta, Canada, 1950 - Present Day" ends up being about Joe Pera's play on the topic, and Joe's now-iffy relationship with the band teacher, Sarah. "Joe Pera Answers Your Questions About Cold Weather Sports" is almost entirely about Joe coming to terms with Sarah's paranoia about the future, and the two learning to like each other despite their differences. "Joe Pera Has a Surprise for You" starts with Joe trying to reenact the movie Rat Race with his friends, but then Nana passes away.

comment
Precision F-Strike: Joe rarely swears, and when he does, he'll probably struggle to say the word and/or apologize for it, even if it's something minor like "goddamn". Usually when he does swear, he's quoting someone else. He says "bullshit" a few times in "Joe Pera Shows You His Second Fridge", but clearly struggles to do so, and was quoting what Nicole Melsky said that got her in trouble at school. He says it again at the end of the episode to try and break the tension between him and Nicole and show her that outside of school, he doesn't need to discipline her. When Joe shows a movie to his class in "Joe Pera Discusses School Appropriate Entertainment With You", he lets a student choose her favorite movie, Wish It Ain't So. The movie begins, and the opening line of dialogue is "Hey, you fuckin' bitches!", which immediately causes Joe to run to the TV and topple it over.

Lost Food Grievance: "Joe Pera Takes You to Breakfast" has Mike Melsky attempting to combine every item on his breakfast place into the "Perfect Egg Bite," which consists of rye toast, butter, grape jelly, hash browns, ketchup and a sunny-side up egg. However, the yolk keeps breaking whenever he takes his first bite, ruining his meal and causing him to angrily shout and bang on the table.

Show Within a Show: Joe lists off some of the movies available for his students to watch in "Joe Pera Discusses School Appropriate Entertainment With You," such as Freshwater Story, Julius Caesar Revealed, The Great Flying Day, Tales by Old Pheasant, The Patriot Man, or Trash Can Cats Go Romp-Pomp-Pomp. Joe's favorite, though, is The Adventures of Otto, which seems to be about a turtle in a vest who can operate a canoe and a car looking for a man who stole a library book. There's also Wish It Ain't So, a teen-drama movie one of his students brought in to show the class after receiving the most behavior points, but Joe ends up destroying the TV after the movie features swearing in the opening line of dialogue.

Nice Guy: Joe might be a bore to some, but he is uncommonly pleasant. In the first episode alone, he contemplates selling his house, even though it isn't for sale, just so he doesn't have to disappoint the Melsky family, who wanted to buy it.

Lighter and Softer: Than pretty much all of Adult Swim's other shows, animated or live-action. There's very little profanity, sexual content, or violence (Joe even apologizes whenever he swears, and admits to avoiding violent movies), and it has an overall optimistic and relaxing feel.

He likes to brag about his sexual encounters, throws in quips about Joe's dick size to get a rouse out of other teachers while passing it off as a joke, and just antagonizes Joe without outwardly being hostile about it.

Disco Dan: Joe, despite being a music teacher, doesn't seem to know much about current music. When he hears "Baba O'Riley" for the first time, he asks if anybody's heard of The Who, calls it a new song and doesn't seem to realize that he can easily search for the song on Youtube, rather he calls every radio station and ask them to play the song. He also has a collection of sheet music from the early 20th century. In "Joe Pera Helps You Find the Perfect Christmas Tree," he dresses up as John Denver for his class, assuming they would know who that is. In "Joe Pera Lights Up the Night with You," he has an Imagine Spot of Sarah out partying where he assumes everyone is "doing a cool new dance move," which to Joe is apparently raising the roof.

When a family visits and wants to look inside his home, Joe feels he has to honor their request. He then starts thinking that even though he didn't put the sign there, he still needs to sell his home, and begs the family not to buy his house.

Never Trust a Title: The episode name "Joe Pera Helps You Write," which was advertised with that title in previews and TV listings, is only part of the full title. The full title of the episode is "Joe Pera Helps You Write an Obituary." "Joe Pera Shows You His Second Fridge" begins with Joe doing just that, but upon realizing that his second fridge has been ransacked by local teens, a second title card appears saying "Joe Pera Talks With You About Teenage Crime and Punishment," and the rest of the episode deals with him talking about sending Nicole Melsky to the principal's office.
