Wright is great.

My signature line in my email is one of his quotes, “What’s another word for ‘thesaurus’?”.

No Robin Williams? Or did his later career (Patch Adams on) ruin that?

“Doctor said I had six months to live. Told him I couldn’t pay and he gave me another six months.”

“Take my wife, please.”

Etc.

Pretty much THE original one liner guy. The main place a lot of people would see him would be in Goodfellas, where he played himself in a set at the Copacabana.

Robin Williams was not a one-liner comedian.

My entire senior quote in high school was nothing but Steven Wright jokes. Love that dude to death.

I know Robin was an incredible comedian, but he was an even more incredible dramatic actor. So inevitably whenever I see something on with him in it, I associate him as dramatic (even Mrs. Doubtfire).

But yes, I miss Robin Williams as well. He is just in another category from those other 3 guys

I remember that joke. Goddamned funny as shite. Seriously belongs on a Top Fifty Jokes list!

Some dog I got too. We call him Egypt because he leaves a pyramid in every room.

My favorite Dangerfield jokes

Neither were John Candy or Chris Farley, whom the poster in question mentioned were two of the three comedians he missed whenever watching their work.

Check the post I was replying to.

true, and they were more acting comedians than stand-ups, but for some reason I associate the 3 in my mind. And shite Rodney made it to 83, Candy and Farley died way too soon

I'm partial to Mitch Hedberg.

Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus... or a really cool opotamus?

I got some tartar control toothpaste. I still got tartar, but that shite's under control.

I bought myself a parrot, the parrot talked, but it did not say "I'm hungry"... so it died.

I haven't slept for 10 days... because that would be too long.

Mr. Pibb is the replica of Dr Pepper. But it's the bullshite replica because dude didn't even get his degree!

I like rice. Rice is great if you want to eat 2,000 of something.

I have no problem not listening to The Temptations, which is weird.

I order the club sandwich all the time. And I'm not even a member, man. I don't know how I get away with it.

You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just gonna ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later.

I had one anchovy. That's why I didn't have two anchovies.

Every book is a children's book if the kid can read.

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

I don't have a girlfriend. I just know a girl who would get really mad if she heard me say that.

No love for George Carlin?


I know he wasn’t big on one liners, but I was watching some of his stuff last night, and a lot of the political stuff he said back then is still true today

I asked my parents if I could go ice skating on the pond. They said wait until it gets warmer out.

I'm doing a show in Bloomington Minnesota next month. Field and Stream is sending a guy out to review it.
