*"People automatically assume messy room if there's a bug."* That's true. And it's the people with the cleanest homes that are the most disturbed about bugs. If people didn't care about seeing bugs, they wouldn't let their homes attract them in the first place!

The phone bit is remarkably accurate.

“My sex life came to such a screeching hault an airbag popped out of the bed.” I died lmfao. This type of humor is just legendary at this point😂😂😂

I love that he included so many bits of this stand up years later on his show.

Rays humor has held up very well over time

Missing the best part - when Johnny congratulates Ray and invites him over. That's the moment his life changes forever.

I also liked the series he did after ELR, "Men of a Certain Age" from 2009 to 2011 with Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula as three middle aged friends who had been friends since childhood. Raymond was a divorced father, Andre a family man and Scott was never married, unsuccessful actor.

An actual entertainer ,very rare.

Starting out with two longer bits is tough and he did it. Punchlines make it worth it. TV audiences aren’t used to going that long with no reaction! Good guy that Ray

Actually quite sophisticated for 1991, imo. Predicted bluetooth earphones. By now we are all used to Ray’s material. It was like a 50’s sitcom where the parents are reversed. The mother knows best, and the dad is just another child for her to deal with.
