We got a little serious there
I think "fisting" should be called "upper-cunting"
And we're back
Do you guys like impressions?
(Yeah.)
"Why?" That was Socrates
Older traditional stand-up comics sometimes have problems with me
Because they think I use music and other stuff
And they think I'm a gimmick, I'm a hack, you know, I'm a gimmick comic
And they're such comedy purists, they don't think my comedy can stand on it's own
But the truth is, I'm a comedy purist, too
So I can do comedy without gimmicks
I'll show you that right now
What do you call a kid with no arms and an eye-patch?
Names!
For those listening on the CD, I just gave birth to a dove
I love traditional stand-up comedy, don't get me wrong
I love it. I'm a huge fan of traditional stand-up comics
A lot of them are my heroes
And I want to be a traditional stand-up comic
And I've been working on some traditional stand-up material and
It's in its infancy so, please, bare with me, go easy
But this is a bit of my traditional stand-up
My wife, right
We never have sex. Like, ever. Which is really funny
Something else, I never know what she's saying
She'll say something and I'll be like, "pft."
You know, she's constantly emasculating me
And I'm making her resent herself for getting older
So we're looking into a divorce
And, you know, something else that's really funny
She can't drive. The only thing she can drive is
"Drive me crazy," and when she back talks, I hit her
