2:30 PERFECT!
@TD9001 sadly that is true
Haha, "put on your bathrobe for eight days straight!!" I can relate to this.
@1shvonce Haha, I'll look for you!
2:20
right in the dirt button, like a tube of circus penuts HILARIOUS...
@TD9001
it's totally true...
the majority of comedians have horrifying tragedies in their life as well...
i believe woopie goldberg is even one of those people. i remember reading something horrifying about her young adult/childhood.
a friend of mine was actually just telling me that her mom went to school with Robin Williams and that people used to completely crucify him at school—full blown humility. girls would dare each other to date him and then do horrible things to him.. fucked.
@Philfa
CONTROVERSIAL OPINIONS!
I'll speak ill of Mitch Deadberg all fucking day.
You can shit on Martin all you want, but don't speak ill of Hedberg.
CK and Hedberg and Oswalt all belong in the same category. Kudos. But Demetri Martin? For shame. In the words of Patton Oswalt "he's funny, but who gives a shit."
A comic genius!!!!
great comparison dog n depression. who comes up with that?
fuck i love patton
Take you down to uncle touchy's naked puzzle basement.
How dare you include Louis CK with that amateur douche bag and that overrated corpse.
I agree that Patton's great, but CK in the same sentence as Martin? The fuck?
Do me right in the dirt button, Mohawk.
i made a gamertag titled "iTz The Sadboy" for xbox live
I'd suck Patton's dick for an hour at least.
Are you kidding me? "No Reason to Complain" was the best one he ever did. Werewolves and Lollipops was hilarious, but it's a very close second.
Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
Sad boy gettin butt fucked......
This special was not as funny as his other two, Werewolves and Lollipops being one of the funniest comedy sets I've ever heard.
Saying this does not live up to his past work is like saying Goats Head Soup isn't Exile on Main Street or that Led Zeppelin 3 isn't Led Zeppelin 2
Patton's still one of the best around, I like him more than Louis CK, Demetri, and even Mitch Hedberg (I know, you can crucify me after the comment, just rub my tears on your belly first, excite me a bit. Let me die erect).
LOL... my dogs get that excited too.
Funny people get depressed the most. To be a humorist you have to have an informed perspective on the world, and anyone that intelligent is inevitably going to face the realities that we live in a world made of bullshit more frequently than most. If they weren't in comedy, many would probably have killed themselves.
ummmmmmmm
