A friend just made a good point: seeing standup in an actual comedy club usually guarantees real laughter, whereas seeing the same performance on video causes less of a reaction, if any reaction at all.
I'll try to dig up the routines you mentioned, but yeah, so far it isn't making me laugh. What was the line or lines that really made the tears flow? Can you break down why?
It's not a matter of individual lines (though he has some lines I quite like - "I'm definitely the best comedian you'll ever see... I don't know the meaning of the word hubris. Which is a shame, because I'm entering a 'define the meaning of the word hubris' competition straight after the show. Doesn't matter, though, I'm definitely going to win.") but the cumulative effect of the whole thing.
