I saw him at the improv in west palm in 2004. You could tell he was fricked up on something, but he was still spot on. I always thought he was brilliant.

My buddy's wife who was with us never even cracked a smile the whole show.

“My apartment is infested with koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light a bunch of koala bears scatter. But I don't want 'em to, you know, I'm like "Hey, hold on, fellas. Let me hold one of you. And feed you a leaf."

You have to view him in context. His bits were before sites like reddit were popular. Comedy was dominated by black comedy. He was a nice breath of fresh air at the time. Watching his routine now doesn't have the same bite.



He was very popular when I was in college and I enjoyed him very much. I don't think it holds up all that well and I think there is a lot of nostalgia involved.

As a comedian, I always get into situations where I’m auditioning for movies and sitcoms, you know? As a comedian, they want you to do things besides comedy. They say, "Alright you’re a comedian, can you write? Write us a script. Act in this sitcom." They want me to do shite that is related to comedy, but it’s not comedy, man. It’s not fair, you know? It’s as though if I was a cook, and I worked my arse off to become a really good cook, and they said "alright you’re a cook… can you farm?"

It's the way he delivers the punchline "can you farm?" that makes that joke so perfect. He just had the perfect combination of observations and delivery.

You know when it comes to racism, people say "I don't care if they're black, white, purple or green." Oh, hold on now. Purple or green? You gotta draw the line somewhere. To hell with purple people.

I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just gonna ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.


This shirt is "dry-clean only"... which means it's dirty.


If my kid couldn't draw, I'd make sure my kitchen magnets didn't work.


I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

I write jokes for a living, I sit at my hotel at night, I think of something that's funny, then I go get a pen and I write it down. Or if the pen is too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain't funny.

I was gonna get a candy bar; the button I was supposed to push was "HH", so I went to the side, I found the "H" button, I pushed it twice. frickin'...potato chips came out, man, because they had an "HH" button for Christ's sake! You need to let me know. I'm not familiar with the concept of "HH". I did not learn my AA-BB-CC's. God-god dammit-dammit.

I like a kitt katt. Unless I’m with 4 or more friends.

They engrave Kitt Katt into the candy. That robs you of chocolate!

I really like refried beans. I want to try fried beans because maybe we're just wasting time.
