He managed to keep the laughs rolling while opening up about his most personal life moments in his new Netflix stand-up special.
Pete Davidson gave his fans an even deeper glimpse into his life with a guided tour of the basement space he shares with his mother in Staten Island on Thursday.
The 26-year-old Saturday Night Live star pointed out the highlights of the fully stocked space, dubbed ‘The Cave,’ which even included a ‘porno shower.’
Welcome: Pete Davidson, 26, gave his fans a close glimpse into his life with a guided tour of the basement space he lives in at his mother’s Staten Island home in a video posted Thursday
Unsurprisingly, Pete tried to start the video off by lighting up what appeared to be a joint, though he was stymied when his gold lighter couldn’t keep a light.
‘We are in my apartment slash basement in my mom’s house in Staten Island,’ he said, starting the tour near a long rack of shirts and jackets.
The stand-up star was dressed casually in a gray long sleeve shirt over a pale yellow T-shirt.
‘I moved here like a year ago and built this weird little basement to stay away from f***in’ people,’ he joked with a deadpan expression.

SpongeBob fan: Pete delved into his seemingly ambivalent love for SpongeBob SquarePants with a yellow hoodie featuring the cartoon character’s face on the back
Someday: ‘This is SpongeBob. I haven’t worn this yet because… it’s very yellow’
The first thing he was drawn to was a gray Guns N’ Roses hoodie on the rack.
‘You guys gave me this for my special. Really great gift. I love Guns N’ Roses,’ he joked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
‘You couldn’t, like, ask one of my friends? Like, “What does Pete want? What does he like?”‘
Next, Pete delved into his seemingly ambivalent love for SpongeBob SquarePants with a yellow hoodie featuring the cartoon character’s face on the back.
‘This is SpongeBob. I haven’t worn this yet because… it’s very yellow.’
He also had a pair of Blockbuster sweatpants that he was drawn to.
‘I miss stealing DVDs,’ he joked.
Intimate: Pete moved on to his underused bathroom and its totally see-through shower
Sex bathroom: ‘I’ve got a porno bathroom with a porno shower,’ he said. ‘Nobodies been in it except me and the boys’
No privacy: ‘Not all at the same time,’ he added, ‘but I’ve never had my porno moment in there yet. It’s really hard to too when your mom’s upstairs cooking and being like, “Dinner’s ready!” And you’re like…’ he trailed off as he made a self-pleasuring motion

The charcoal-colored bathroom featured a large shower that was big enough for multiple people and wouldn’t leave anything to the imagination.
Easily amused: Despite the fact that the space seemed to have been totally renovated and was filled with collector’s items, it was the little things that seemed to spark Pete’s fancy
Magic: He named the Black + Decker Dustbuster in the kitchen his favorite thing in the whole Cave, before ashing his joint on the counter to demonstrate how well it picked up dirt
Delighted: ‘How f***in’ sick is that s***?’ he said, bursting into a sleepy-eyed grin

Dad jokes: ‘Here’s some dad s***. You want some dead dad s***. Here’s a good picture of my dad, probably all coked up on a roof somewhere with his boys,’ he joked
Legend: ‘Here’s my other favorite thing. I got Rodney Dangerfield’s tie. Mulaney got me this for Christmas,’ he said
Yikes: ‘This s*** wouldn’t fly today. It says, “Rodney traditionally gives away a tie at the end of each of his live performances in exchange for a kiss from a lovely young lady in the audience,’ he continued, reading the certificate of authenticity
Pete regularly mentions his father, a firefighter who died during the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001, during his stand-up shows, and he drew attention to a photo of him.
‘Here’s some dad s***. You want some dead dad s***. Here’s a good picture of my dad, probably all coked up on a roof somewhere with his boys,’ he joked.
But it was a gift from his friend and fellow comic John Mulaney that had an even bigger effect on him.
‘Here’s my other favorite thing. I got Rodney Dangerfield’s tie. Mulaney got me this for Christmas,’ he said.
‘This s*** wouldn’t fly today. It says, “Rodney traditionally gives away a tie at the end of each of his live performances in exchange for a kiss from a lovely young lady in the audience,”‘ he continued, reading the certificate of authenticity.
Close but no cigar: Pete kept a vintage Eddie Murphy album to remind himself he’ll never be as cool as Eddie Murphy
Not impressed: Pete also had a massive shoe that belonged to Shaquille O’Neal. ‘When you get on TV, people send you things like this and they’re like, ‘That was cool.’ But it’s not. Look where it is, behind my fake alien Kevin. That’s where your Shaq shoe goes’
Other oddities included a vintage Eddie Murphy album, an alien mannequin named Kevin, and a massive sneaker that once belonged to Shaquille O’Neal, though Pete wasn’t that impressed by it.
‘When you get on TV, people send you things like this and they’re like, ‘That was cool.’ But it’s not. Look where it is, behind my fake alien Kevin. That’s where your Shaq shoe goes.’
The comic seemed to be a huge fan of the critically acclaimed Adam Sandler thriller Uncut Gems, as he had a commemorative basketball from the film, along with his own low-budget uncut gem.
‘This is my Uncut Gems basketball. This is currently my favorite thing in the cave,’ he said.
‘This is my uncut gem that my buddy Dave bought me, but he’s a cheap f*** and he got me a rock, so look what it did to my s***,’ he added, picking it up to show the scratched up pedestal.

The comedian wound down his tour by showing off a wall covered in sharpie scribblings where famous people who visited his Cave would sign.
The tour came full circle back to SpongeBob when he showed off a pair of SpongeBob-themed trainers, which he also never wore since he didn’t think they went with anything except the color yellow.
He ended on a more serious note by thanking his fans and Netflix and noting that his 10-year anniversary of doing stand-up comedy was only a week before his special was released.
Alive In New York is currently streaming on Netflix.
