Lewis Black | The Rant Is Due Best of Atlantic City

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- The Music Box Theater at the Borgata may be the house that Lewis Black built, if not with the sheer number of performances he's done there, then in all the gambling losses he has contributed to the casino's coffers. In this collection, Lewis shares how Atlantic City played a prime place in the development of his career, how he and his family and friends have won and more often lost at the gambling tables, and how generations of New Jersey politicians (and one particular real estate developer) have failed to improve conditions in the city.

We saw Lewis Black live in March of 2019, and I got to meet him after the show. He said during his bit how someone told him "Trump must be great material for you comedians!" and he said "yeah, Trump is great for comedy in the same way that having a stroke is good for taking a nap". We all died from laughter, even Republicans in the audience.
I am glad to see that Lewis is still around and doing comedy. I use to watch him all the time back on Just for Laughs and again when he was on The Daily Show.
Went to Atlantic City often as a kid and young man in the 60s. It was awesome before gambling. Saw Miss America pageant.
Atlantic City beaches are just landscapes of shattered seashells, it’s like walking on broken glass
Those are the calcified tears of those who came, and left penniless. The tears are endless, and it's sad. From AC, so I saw what happened to those who come seeking riches, and ended up in the AC rescue mission.

Lewis, you are AMAZING! Never stop! You would have been so much fun to have at my Thanksgiving dinner table!!
Thankgiving Dinner=Delicious
Mother-Inlaw=Irritating
Thanksgiving Dinner + In-Laws=Unbearable
Thanksgiving Dinner + Inlaws + Lewis Black = PRICELESS!
Lol he looks like someone dumped over a tub of melting butter...
Easy way
You just brought back a memory.
Mama and I visited the Atlantic City Boardwalk twice in the 1950's.
I want to visit the boardwalk in Atlantic City. It sounds really depraved - I like that. Bless
It’s not. I love the Boardwalk. Once you get a couple blocks away from it - that’s a different story
Lewis u are a national treasure and must be protected as such!
Lol No.
@@Astrochronic lol sure
Man... I remember when $40 was $275.
I'm with you. I work in a grocery store and I often just wonder at the difference...especially T.P., I'm old enough to remember those 1000 sheet rolls selling 4 for $1, now it's over $1 a roll. I'm glad to not "need" that fluffy stuff...it's premium, lol.
Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
@@tammystockley-loughlin7680 great positive last part of that paragraph.
@@corneliuswonder thanks for your acknowledgement. Just embracing my nature...and hoping more folks will find their gentler side with a small reminder.
I remember seeing him in Tulia Texas. He was very funny.
A bitter old low info rich jewissh man complaining...hilarious.
I remember that time WW2 happened. It was bad.
I fail to see how anyone can run 3 casinos, the one business on the planet where you're guaranteed to make a profit, declare bankruptcy, refuse to pay for work done and materials used, and still sit on 2.5 billion dollars in the bank?
Technically, his casino company went bankrupt 3 times. It really started when gambling was approved in Delaware, then Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts. AC no longer had an East Coast monopoly on gambling.
Probably not as rich as he says
@@sanford943
When the legal system has finished with him, he will be really bankrupt.
And in jail...
@@gloin10 I will believe it when I see it.
@@gloin10 only Nazis would try to railroad their political opponents that way. President Trump is a true patriot. Biden is a corrupt senile clown who is objectively racist.
Love ya, Lewis! Let's do this! 😁👍❤
They should cast Lewis Black as Sheldon if the ever make "Old Sheldon" 😂
AC is my home(several generations well before the casinos were built). I will never apologize for coming from such an awesome place. Residents know the deal.
Bankrupted 3 casinos? Of course, when you're skimming off the top.
The mob skimmed off the top and they ran successful casinos.
Really says how greedy someone can be when they were greedier than mobsters. His TV shows were a scam, his university was a scam, his casinos were a scam, his politics were a scam.
I love going to AC. I love the Boardwalk. I used to play poker at the Showboat until it closed. I like the Borgata, but it’s a long way from the Boardwalk.
On here real quick lol
Saw Lewis years ago in Philly..Simply the BEST..Tina Turner
I haven't been in Atlantic City since the 70s. Hadn't had any reason to go back
theres something therapeutic about seeing luis black rant
Facts. All facts.
I remember Mama and I visited Atlantic City and strolled the wooden boardwalk.
I saw Primus at the Music Box. Was a fun time
Mr Black hope everything is going great for you, because it's going fucking terrible for me! Love your work.
Great Video! Thanks
thanks
Yay!
Wow Lewis made me realize how Atlantic city still looks the way it does for years with all of those suckers I mean people dropping money at the tables.
Love Lewis! Saw him in Memphis recently. Not near what I expected, but still enjoyed it. Guess he thought the audience couldn't handle the REAL SHIT he has to say. Very smart man. People Suck, but he doesn't 😂😂
The boardwalk 🤯🥺
4:18 😂😂😂👍
Atlantic City reminds me of Detroit. How could you have all three of the big U.S. automobile manufacturers headquartered in a city, the factories for those companies also located in the same area, Motown, a few other large industries, and all the income that comes from those and basically fail? Talk about mismanagement! How about saving a little money during the good times to avoid catastrophe during the down times? Ever think of that? Fortunately, Detroit is starting to make a comeback, but there are still entire neighborhoods where half the businesses and homes were abandoned and left to rot. Those Detroit city managers must have all went to Trump University.
Ever been to those auto manufacturers? They don't give a fuck about Detroit, Michigan, or any of the people that live in the state. It's greed that keeps Detroit a shit hole, greed and people that have been affected by it for decades to the point it's their way of life to live the way people do in that town.
@@taylorbrubaker816
It's a combination of the greed of the auto manufacturers and incompetence by the city managers. I've said it for years: all workers may just be replaceable cogs in a wheel but nobody wants to be treated like a replaceable cog in a wheel. For a while I was against unions because I thought they had served their purpose and there's an expensive and sometimes corrupt management structure that comes with unions too, but now I think we still need them because so many business owners are so incredibly greedy. It's not enough to be multibillionaires, they think they have to be the richest of the rich. Truly sad.
@@Dr.TJ1 We need new unions, the UAW is as corrupt as can be from the top down. Maybe the unions of the past were strong and actually stood up for workers but the UAW is useless. You're right about city management, Detroit specifically has been screwed over by corrupt city officials time and time again.
He broke it off in them
0:15. 0:50 0:42. 0:54. 1:24

I remember seeing him in the Tropicana.
The former guy
I wishI you and Sll Franken would run for congress!
I wonder what he'd say about the Showboat and its transformation.
Hilarious!!!
I don't understand gambling. People just throwing money at whatever type of gambling floats their boat. How is losing money you can't afford to lose be entertainment? That's not entertaining. Except for maybe the guy next to you who is laughing at your misfortune.
I agree with you Lewis Black I'm a terrible gambler.
45-47!
Hey , thanks for making those facking glasses popular with soy beans in pink Priuses. It should be a crime.
A commercial within the first 2 minutes! Give me a break!
A.C. without Trump is so much better!
Revel has been Ocean Resort- beautiful casino.
The beaches are great.
$6.9 Billion went through A.C. since 1978...and kept right on going!
If New Jersey was a donkey Atlantic City would be right under the tail.
Only Trump could lose money running three casinos.
Mafia town
Trump destroyed AC
I LOVE THE 'KILLERY KREW' THSAT DIS'S TRUMP FOR NOT BATTING 1000, CONTRACTORS KNOW THE DRILL!
What?
Trump is no longer in the Whitehouse. Get over him already. You are obsessed and not funny.
These are old clips when he was president
Just another example of Trump support comprehension levels. The clips literally put the fucking date it was recorded.
And, if you dont think he's funny....WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU WATCHING??
#Trump2024
I dont think he has a chance, his leadership killed too many in his base last time.
"Blah blah blah Trump" who cares
It's amazing how the Trump clips were from while he was president. Figure that
LET'S GO BRANDON!!
Lmao, Trump LOST!
@@negao360 They obviously rigged the election with mail in ballots. Only mindless inhuman clowns would try to deny it. Biden is by far the worst president ever. Congrats. Even worse than Obama.
@@Astrochronic Our court system is really fucked, finding truth in over 100 cases.
But Let's Grump!!
Mike you need to stop with the fake accounts and just go back to selling pillows.
