This ‘highlight reel’ of New York City mayor Eric Adams’ one-liners will have you laughing all the way to the ballot box to vote him out of office

New York City has a thriving stand-up comedy scene. And yet this latest clip doesn’t take place in one of its iconic clubs, it takes place at a variety of lecterns around the five boroughs. For those not familiar with New York City mayor Eric Adams, he’s never been afraid to speak his mind on the microphone. He seems to have taken his lead from another former New York loudmouth, the current president of the United States.

In an effort to share what makes Adams so, ahem… distinct, the TikTok account theamericanpresident put together this chaotically hilarious cut of Adams most distinct takes during his four years as mayor.

@theamericanpresident Eric is your mayorrrrr #ericadams #nyc #zohranmamdani #zohran #newyorkcity #mayoradams ♬ original sound – The American President

The comments on TikTok, from locals and others, ran the gamut from mortified to delighted. Right now it doesn’t seem like re-election is in the cards.
