What I like most about him, is he's so different than everyone else. He doesn't let you know when he's said the punchline, because his whole routine is so monotone, that you really have to think about what he just said. He essentially has no "delivery." To me, it's funny that he can do the whole thing without so much as even cracking a smile. He's like a comedian that sounds like he's depressed.

This was on BBC TV in about 1988/9 and its still fresh, can't believe how many of his jokes I've used over the decades - its like his whole set went into my subconcious. Classic!

His material is not only clean but before its time. He is much better than most comedians who tried to copy him.

"....My calendar has no sevens!" The epitome of twisted logic humour, when I first heard that gag, I almost laughed myself inside out!

Watched this while I was in college in 1985... it's STILL hilarious, but now I watch it alone.

I was about 22 years old when I Steven Wright for the first time in this show. It opened a whole new world of humour for me. My comedy heroes growing up were Spike Milligan and Kenny Everett and Steven joined that pantheon for me.

.Mike Williams Which is why first time he told these jokes he stood onstage for over 50 minutes and didn't say a word because he was out of practice .

Marathonracer The first time he stood on stage he probably did 5 minutes. As you become more proficient and better known they give you longer. That's how stand up works.

mikelheron20 Oh is that how standup works ? Well golly gee, I didn't know that ! Steven Wright was ALWAYS brilliant, starting with his first TV performance, which was on The Tonight Show and was 3 mins 17 secs. and he brought down the house ! And then he told more jokes talking to Johnny, for almost about 1 1/2 more mins and the audience went nuts! There's your 5 mins. They NEVER give you 50 mins on the Tonight Show and Steven Wright typically got about six minutes on repeat performances on Letterman. That kind of extended time is only on TV specials like this one, or a Broadway show. My obvious SARCASM and PARODY of +Mike Williams was directed at him about what he said... "Tell the same jokes over and over again and you too can have an amazing memory." Since you didn't get it, I'll 'splain it to ya. You can't tell the SAME jokes the FIRST time "over and over again", because it's ...duh... the FIRST TIME! And I said "he stood there for 50 mins, and didn't say a word" because he couldn't have practiced the jokes since it was the first time he's telling them,so according to Mikey, he should have just "stood there and not said a word". I obviously said "50 mins" to make it ridiculously exaggerated - as ridiculous as what he said was. That's what comedy is..... reality that's exaggerated so much that it's funny. For a guy who's watching a Steven Wright special you sure have a problem understanding sarcasm and parody and figuring out the joke. But that's how standup works

To be clear, I thought and wrote what I did, because he mainly tells very short jokes, whereas it may be somewhat standard for average and general stand up comedians to tell longer stories and jokes mixed in their sets, leading me to think it might be easier to remember a longer story where you can ramble a bit and there are a lot of points related, then 50 minutes of really short sometimes one liner jokes, I am impressed with all stand up comedians from the writing to the performing, but I did have that thought that it is impressive to me to memorize so many short jokes.

1985 was Steven’s best year. Comedy gold

12:25 That record skipping joke was directly put into an episode of Dexter's Laboratory. That's hilarious.

Besides the fact that his humor is exquisite and unique, he's got incredible memory too

Pretty much all the old school comedians had a ridiculous memory. They could tell jokes for days and never repeat one.

Definitely one of the best ever. His demeanor delivery and wit. Top Notch. Thanks S.W.

Wright is one of my favorite comedians of all time. He's one of the best! This special is so goddamn funny!

Greatest comedian of all time.

There is no filler in his show. It's amazing the amount of jokes he comes up with.

He has a lot of irony in his act...and a lot of observational humor and a HEAP of sarcasm. :) He is what we call here in my family "a professional smart ass"...he comes up with funny things on the fly. I admire him for his quick wit. I think he has to be one of the best comics there ever was. :) I can watch him over and over and never get bored of his talking. That deadpan look and that monotone voice is what makes his act so darned funny!

anywhere is walking distance if you have the time just brilliant
