He didn't in this case (or maybe he did as an encore) but if you search on youtube there is a show where he juggled the parts of the trombone, and he was brilliant at it.
J saw him in stand up at a club in 1981 in California and his routine was even better than this , all different material; e.g." I went to the pawnshop for my grandmother, and had bad luck! They sold her just yesterday!" --GR, Las Vegas
I've had the privilege of meeting Mr. Philips a couple months back... We had a discussion about Jesus Christ and if he were allowed to eat bacon or not!
This man is amazing. Notice how funny he is without ever saying one bad word. I have nothing against bad words, but when a comic can make you fall off your chair without using them, it shows way more talent. Fucking amazing. =)
The funniest part of this video is the one person who has the distinctive laugh in the audience. You can hear them best at 0:29. Also in the first part when he kicks off his shoe.
I saw Emo live 2 years ago, (got pictures with him even), he was so funny I almost died laughing. But, here I am - alive and well. The plastic surgery joke I never heard before but it was priceless. No, really. Would you like to hear my tribute to Emo? Thanks, Emo!
"If there's any young ladies that would like some action, I'll admit I'm quite handy with the ladies. I was with this girl the other night, and I don't wanna brag, but the way she was responding to my skillful caresses you would have swore that she was.. conscious. Oh, ooh, ooh boy! From the tip of her head... to the tag on her toes!" ♥
its because the riddle is an old and faous riddle where the answer is human/man like he says, but he has his own answer (a donkey) i think its called a carrot and stick joke, he always uses them, because he leads people to think he is going to say one joke or answer, but then says something completely different
I don't think I've heard anyone lose it quite as much as some of these audience members at Emo Philips stand up shows. In every video there's always a handful of people absolutely fucking dying at his jokes
He talks about coffee. Coffee is a drink but he calls it an enema. An enema is a liquid (generally for medical reasons) that you insert into the rectum.
@lidoeg2 well basicaly emos got their origin from this in one of the talkshows ive seen he even says "these people say they are me, they dont like me" oh yea and the cutting themselves originated from the scene in a weird al movie where emo accidentaly cuts his fingers off
He kindof rushed through that one, but he said that they took the kittens down to drown them, and he was crying his eyes out, alegedly because it is a traumatic experience for a child to see drowning kittens, but he turns it around by adding that he was crying not as a result of the death of kittens, but rather his in-ability to use the surface tension of the water to propel the kittens. Yeah, it's less funny when it's explained.
@lidoeg2 basically emos got their name from him he even talks about it "these people say they are me, they dont look like me" and the cutting themselves came from a wierd al movie watch?v=toNsPh-pxgc
Pure genius. And the guy laughing his heart out throughout the video makes this even funnier.
I love that the trombone is a "prop" but he never actually plays it or does anything but fiddle with it.
GP1138 it was for his tribute to Elvis joke to mislead the audience
He didn't in this case (or maybe he did as an encore) but if you search on youtube there is a show where he juggled the parts of the trombone, and he was brilliant at it.
The guy laughing in the background is such a great laugh, it's contagious.
The hysterical laughter is infectious.

Pure unadulterated comedic genius.

He seems much more energetic in his early work.
I miss the 80's...
"Why limit yourself" - I was crying by this point.
I love the laughing guy.
Nobody can fucking top Emo Philips.
Oh my God. He's a comedic genius.
Love Emo.
he's fantastic live
How did I not know about this guy!?
this is gold
Haha that necrophiliac joke at 5:30 is classic considering its 1983.
Wow. Sheer talent. The comments in here are so funny. Needing these jokes explained is hilarious.
" she made some Egggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggsssss!! So we cooked them"
A truly unique gem.
My favorite one is, "Ya gotta get up PRETTY early in the morning!...to catch me peeking through your bedroom window!"
tight set
This is brilliant.
Excellent!
Wow! What a classic! He could turn a phrase and your stomach!

I love his props!
When Emo says "I couldn't get them to skip." I haven't laughed so loud and so hard in a long time. I love this video.
Amazing
OMG. I didn't know he was Shannon in Home Movies! I loove Home Movies!
Goddamn. There is NO WAY to read his punchlines until it's come. XD
I love you, Emo. You have my mancrush.
I love the way he keeps taking the trombone out of it's case XD Masterful details.
I saw him when he came to the Colchester arts centre last year he was so damn funny he is a comedy genius
James Dean's talents as a sausage-maker? This is brilliant.
He hasn't quite established the character visually but the material is top notch.
If you're talking about that quote on Banksy's website, that's how I found out about him too!!
thank you!
@EpicCelloGirl Remember the last words of my grandfather, who said, "A truck!"

Genius!
"I went to the school principal, and he said to me: you have to see the psychologist, Emo. And I asked him, "Why?" So, he showed me the petition.
What a genius. This man is a comedian through and through.
i love this guy....anyone ever seen the movie UHF with him and weird al yankovic?
@Hollow4ever i also love his motto live and learn.
Elvis says Your Welcome
R.I.P.
i love emo.the man is a living comedy god,ive not laughed so hard in aages
You know you liked it.
That tingling you feel is normal.
"If there's any young ladies that would like some action, I'll admit I'm quite handy with the ladies.

lol the booing
I saw him in his most recent gig in the town I live in Colchester uk he was so damn funny the man is a comedy genius

paraprosdokian
"why limit yourself?"
@RippleFilmStudios
Hes verging on the ricky gervais, not quite there yet. (the guy in the audience that is)
@cliffy93 Actually, it's Philip Soltanec; Emo Philips is his stage name. ;)
I don't think I've heard anyone lose it quite as much as some of these audience members at Emo Philips stand up shows. In every video there's always a handful of people absolutely fucking dying at his jokes
"How many people are like me?"My dad and I could both raise our hands:^)
He talks about coffee. Coffee is a drink but he calls it an enema.
An enema is a liquid (generally for medical reasons) that you insert into the rectum.
*An enema is a liquid (generally for medical reasons) that you insert into the rectum*
Yep! A coffee enema.
Want me to do my tribute to Emo ?
what does he say at the end? I couldn't tell what he says
What does he say at the beginning after the coffee thing, "I've tried other _______, but it's not the same"?
enemas
@@robzara4172 thanks, it took 10 years but I got my answer lmao
@AleXGT7 why considering its 1983?
what is the first punchline? "ive tried other__________?"
EMO ROCKS! if only todays emos were like him the world would be a much happier place. No offense to emos
could someone please explain the kittens one to me? id very much like to get it
could someone describe me the eggs joke and the to tip of her head and the tag on her toes joke?
I love the part where some guy is wearing the huge cowboy hat and his boss is like 'take that ridiculous thing off' and he peels his mustache off!
"...And I was crying my eyes out because I couldn't get them to skip..."
Not only is that horrible, but that's horrible! =P
lol. I liked how he had the trombone there and he never used it!
ive tried other enema's
"Don't just go after the things that move" (in other words, the toe tag implies a dead person)
@lidoeg2
well basicaly emos got their origin from this
in one of the talkshows ive seen he even says "these people say they are me, they dont like me"
oh yea and the cutting themselves originated from the scene in a weird al movie where emo accidentaly cuts his fingers off
the man is a genius
ohhhh right. skip, like skipping stones skip. thanks
Wait what? He brought the trombone out to assemble, then disassemble?
(...I'm going to have to remember that)
What were the last words of his grandfather?
The last words of his grandfather were "A truck!" (which I assume was what killed him).
What a bloody maniac!
@AleXGT7 I don't think 'unconscious' implies that
Haha. You're awesome.
that guys laugh
LOL I have a love for animals that almost illegal.. xD
5:35 💀💀
"Enemas".
I GET THE RIDDLE NOW!!!
please explain it now
lmao best riddle ever
just lol
What a pimp, that was an awesome set, you;ve got to feel good after doing it like that.
@Hollow4ever So true man
Oh! He actually sang that whistle song well. Very multi-talented! No wonder Weird Al invited him to be in UHF. These guys are too funny.
Please dont thumbs me down, but i didnt understand that one. :(
It's not actually a riddle, it's just two entirely separate things. That's the joke.
He kindof rushed through that one, but he said that they took the kittens down to drown them, and he was crying his eyes out, alegedly because it is a traumatic experience for a child to see drowning kittens, but he turns it around by adding that he was crying not as a result of the death of kittens, but rather his in-ability to use the surface tension of the water to propel the kittens.
Yeah, it's less funny when it's explained.
He never played the trombone
@lidoeg2
basically emos got their name from him
he even talks about it "these people say they are me, they dont look like me"
and the cutting themselves came from a wierd al movie
watch?v=toNsPh-pxgc
worship
bahaha ohh emo, you have to be the most hilarious thing i've ever seen.
Emo Phillips is just brilliant!
The way he talks and moves is hilarious, but is some kind of medical condition or purely for comic effect?
I dont get the Urine joke?
6 years already, did you found a clue?
Deconstructing the traditional joke model 'what's the difference between x and x, by being irreverent and surreal
'I didn't do it, man. I just said it.'
3:45 - oh lordy!
