"do we have any blacks in the audience" is one of the funniest openers I've ever heard

Neil gives me the feeling of rooting around in my pocket for something I really need, but not being able to find it.

I've always found Gregg's best comedic ability with his Neil Hamburger character is his quick response to the audience "heckling" him. He is so good at fiercely verbally destroying anyone in the audience.

I hate to burst the bubble here, I feel like I'm revealing a magic trick but that is actually part of Neil's act. There usually isn't a heckler there and he's just talking to nobody lol. But I have seen a couple videos where there were real hecklers and he does handle them well

I like how Neil uses the strange phrase, "nattering nabobs". "Nattering nabobs of negativism" is a famous line from a political speech written by William Safire for President Nixon's Vice President Spiro Agnew who delivered it during the 1970 midterm elections, referring to their Democratic political opponents.

I'm glad someone else thinks as little of Robin Williams stand-up as I do.

My favorite stand up comedian ever, no one is classier than Neil

Its exactly what its supposed to be , its a parody of a hack comic who has no boundaries . Its fucking brilliant . The bad jokes are the best ones . This guy has balls of steele to do this and its fucking hysterical . Ppl commenting that he is bad are missing the whole point of the satire .

@@aquanecromancer5776 fair enough if you like it but just because what he's doing is intentional doesn't make it smart, clever or interesting, at least not for me. I have been a huge stand up fan for probably going on 2 decades now and there are so many stand ups who are far superior imo. As I said shit stand up is shit stand up even if it's supposed to be a spoof of shit stand up and he knows what he's doing, a nudge and a wink that he's aware isn't enough for me to look past lazy writing and surface level jokes with next to no wit, even if that is the point there's not enough extra that he's giving for me to feel like I'm in on the joke with him. I have many of the same problems with Andy Kaufman's material although I can say at least Kaufman's material wss unique for it's time. This is just boring to watch and I shouldn't be bored watching someone whose job it is to make me laugh.

the david carradine joke is seriously amazing

My favorite moments are when he deals with non-existent hecklers 😂
