OMG I forgot about that episode. I too just about "shit" my pants laughing so hard....

Hey no one has even mentioned Larry David. "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is one of the best shows ever IMO.

Too many good episodes and scenes to choose from but one that comes to mind is the episode "Pants Tent".

Curb definitely one of the better comedy shows of all-time. I haven't seen Larry David do stand up although I'm pretty sure he has.

Yeah I think he did standup in his early years but of course became more known for his comedic writing chops and Seinfeld really elevated him to fame of course. The notion of him doing a show essentially about himself is comic genius, especially because a lot of the dialog on that show is ad lib which is amazing.

He does a good Bernie. lol

Edit: is this political? I didn't think so (it's just silly) but if anybody does just let me know and I'll delete it.

His stand up just wasn't funny. I love seeing him in movies but I barely chuckled when I his stage act. IDK, stand up ain't for everyone

Robert Klein on his college days (SNL 1978):

" I went to a small school, a very obscure school named Alfred....
Um, I went there because they had a wonderful brochure, uh, with handsome people walking on the campus carrying books... with nice writing underneath it: “Walking on the campus carrying books is a favorite pastime of Alfred students.” Suckered me right in there.... They never have ones like... “God, I may be pregnant.”
" I get to the dormitory from a bus ride, and they take us into the dormitory and [moos]. “Are-are-are these the dormitories?” “Yes, sir, just shoo ’em away, they’ll go. Cows don’t bother ya none.” And they made fun of the way I spoke: “Hey, New Yohk, tohk, mwohk…” Just what I needed at 17, 16. Of course, they spoke fine: “Hey, my father gave me a dallar to get married in Baffalo and I’m goin’ next week if you wanna…”
"A little thing I encountered there that I really hadn’t encountered before, uh, anti-Semitism. Well, nothing–it was subtle, nothing you could put your finger on. Subtle to be sure: [yelling] “Hey Jewboy! Where you goin’, Jewboy, high holy day?” You know, just what I needed. I wanted to meet the guy next door in the dormitory. He was decorating his room with a swastika mobile. And I remember a brief phone call home to my parents: [sobbing] “Get me outta here!”
"But I-I-I, one of the gutsiest things I ever did eventually was play Shylock in The Merchant of Venice in the drama club there. It’s a 17-year-old kid trying to play an old man, you put on that quick palsy shake.... This wonderful speech of Shakespeare’s where he equates all people– "Have not a Jew hands, organs, senses, dimensions, affections, [begins the palsy shake] passions?”
" And the audience said “No, Jewboy! Jew-boy! Jew-boy! Jew-boy! Get him!”"

Anyone ever get a kick out of Sam Kinison? He had to be one of the most intense ones. I'll never forget those screams as he ranted about various subjects. Funny to think he was once a Pentecostal preacher.

He was alright.

Andrew Dice Clay's album where he intentionally worked on pissing off the crowd was brilliant and underrated.
