What might be making you a tad apprehensive, but might not, as it's too soon to tell - Page 36

I find the pain in both to be revealing and strangely reassuring.

Yeah, the "it" I meant was his character-based show, i.e. the pot smoking clip. So I'm 1 for 2 on people who I thought would hate it... in baseball, I'd be batting .500!

ME: Louis' standup is brilliant; but his show, including that clip, is just average, don't like it don't hate it.

Did you see the episode of Comedians in Cars with him in it? It's my favorite one so far, and I've seen half a dozen. I suspect he's really like his stand up persona all the time.

I should clarify further by saying that his standup is most just "brilliant" but top eleven of all time, which on my list goes like:

George Carlin
Bill Cosby
Richard Pryor
Louis CK
Bill Hicks
Joan Rivers
Jerry Seinfeld
Steve Martin
Eddie Murphy
Sam Kinison
Emo Philips

Emo Philips. I used to love him. I knew half his act word for word.

The one with the kid on the swing wanting him to push harder, and harder and harder...

So, I backed up the Buick...

My brother says hello!

. . . so hooray for speech therapy.

DanaC · 03-03-2014, 05:05 PM

Hahahahah. Excellent.

I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body.

. . . Then I realized — well, look what's telling me this.

DanaC · 03-03-2014, 05:17 PM

Got some new underwear!

...well, new to me

People ask me how much I weigh. I tell them, 145 pounds, naked. That is, if that scale outside the drugstore is anything to go by.

How is Steven wright not on that list?
Kathleen Madigan?

i had a dream the other night. i was asking someone about Gary Wright. whoever i was talking to said 'oh, that one-liner guy.' i was like, no, that's stephen wright. gary wright did Dream Weaver.

the next day i got into my car and the radio station had just started playing Dream Weaver. seriously.

also, my older bro had emo as the entertainer for a conference. he has pics with him. i'm the envy.

my favorite emo is him talking about being alone at night in the dark. he says he starts singing (in a shaky scared voice): whenever i feel afraid, i whistle a happy tune...

then he hears a voice: thanks, i thought i'd never find you in the dark.

Undertoad · 03-04-2014, 01:48 PM

Steven Wright is #12 on my list, as is Eddie Izzard and Lewis Black.
