Lewis Black

I just saw this guy in concert. And is it just me or is this the funniest guy alive?

 

Yeah, Black is hilarious. I got his autograph outside the Comedy Store in Pittsburgh, PA. The show was sold out and we couldn't get in to see him. He was really nice and gracious and apologized that we wouldn't be able to see the show. Surprisingly nice for a guy who rants on all cylinders during his show.

 

The lines are memorable too. "The easiest job in the world is weatherman in San Diego. What's it like Lou? Nice. Back to you Bob.

 

The best was when he started to go off on the Starbuck's across the street from another Starbucks. I love his sarcasm and borderline psychosis.

Also liked it when he was talking about being in Boston and he was about to slit his wrists just to see some color.

I liked his bit on cow's eating junk food on the Daily Show, "I hate to break it to you, but if you eat the cow that ate the stuff that you weren't gonna eat, YOU'RE STILL EATING IT!!!!!!!!"

And his thoughts on Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, "You don't even have to play volleyball, you still win!"

 

Couple weeks ago on the Daily Show was great. "Let me explain something to you: you can't boycott something...if you've ALREADY BOUGHT IT!!!"

What else...

"After an accident, the first-runner-up was crowned Miss Universe. How can I look at that? God forbid something should happen to her, and they have to drag out the third most beautiful woman in the universe...by her hooves!!"

"My favorite pastime in Grand Theft Auto III: running over the person whose car I just stole, with the car I just stole! Thanks to Playstation, I can kill, maim, steal, and still have time to be a Britney Spears backup dancer!"

 

I absolutely love Lewis Black. I go to his alma mater UNC-CH and when he came back here to perform he talked about going to school here. He remembered all the special places on campus... "Yeah, that's where I smoked pot, that's where I took a hit of acid..."

He's come here twice in the last two years and both shows sold out in minutes.

One of my more recent favorites is about the mother of two year old twins being stopped at the airport by security to check the stroller for weapons. He said, "What mother of 2 year old twins has time to build a bomb? And furthermore what 2 year old wouldn't find AND destroy it in under 3 minutes." Hilarious.

The Starbucks End of the Universe thing is CLASSIC.

 

HA..We live just a few miles from the end of the universe. The Starbucks he's talking about is right here in Houston, next to the Laff Stop, a comedy club he usually plays.

Our favorite lines..If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college. -AND- I'm going to shove this fork, in my EYE!!

This guy seems really big on shoving things into his body. You just have to love that.

 

The horse line haunts me to this day. What WAS she talking about?

"I'm not coming to work today, why not? Because I knew what the next season was going to be, locusts."

Classic

 

Lewis Black is a very funny guy. I especially like his bits on The Daily Show.
