The thing is it's the truth. They'll tell everybody but you then bitch when you don't do it. I know from whence i speak. I too have been married twice. If i ever do it again i hope i have a friend who is man enuff to shoot me at the ceremony.
Of all comedians, Kinison was one of the most charismatic comedians ever. Even if what he was saying wasn't very good-and most of his stuff was phenomenal-you still can't take your eyes off of him. He was a master at interacting with the audience.
@@marvinthiessen3454 A "keeper" as in a good woman. He may have been hard on his women, though. I read where one of them has said he was a demanding lover, wanted every inch of her. Sam's response was that he wanted to love her fully. Now, why would any woman NOT want to be loved like that?
@@jrnfw4060 Sam was probably an "old soul" in that he truly loved women but couldn't stand the modern woman's BS. Life worked better in the old days, Sam was just born too late. Many younger men are saying NO to marriage and having kids. Compliment a female co-worker on her appearance and get written up by the female HR manager or worse, lose your job. If life is a game of hearts or spades, women hold all the trump cards and some men are finally figuring it out.
@@marvinthiessen3454 Considering that Sammy was hurt so badly when he caught his first wife cheating on him, and many of the women he loved afterward either left hm or also cheated, one did so again after he forgave her on the spot the first time she did it, I can fully understand why Sammy was so bitter and actually afraid to fully trust women. It took him seven years to finally marry Malika, and that only lasted six days until he died. Much of his life was tragic (his brother's suicide, which devastated him), yet, he made so many millions laugh with his comedy and he was very nice to fans who got to meet him. I feel Sammy deserves to be in paradise. He lived a promiscuous lifestyle and nearly destroyed himself with drugs and booze, but I would think all of that should have counted as "time served" when he was judged. He had his hell right here on earth, as most of us do.
If he weren't great then I wouldn't still be able to hear him screaming in the distance. The local university says his screams will go silent in another 30 years. Something about a half life?
As pope of the Church of the Divine Communication, it is my privilege to inform you that Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks were named the first Saints of the Church.
"My life got so boring, I actually worried about my yard... I've got a responsibility to the neighborhood to have a good yard." I used to live in a small Michigan town, in a neighborhood with a lot of whipped family men with perfect lawns. I hadn't heard that particular Sam bit before, and I gotta say I feel pretty disturbed by it right now! (I'm single.)
I did some stand up back in the 80's and got to know both of those guys a little, Bill more than Sam. I was once at a show in Raleigh N.C. Where Sam came to town a couple of days early to see Bill, who was headlining that week. I went to an after show party with the two of them........... non stop Coke and non stop laughter, both of them were never really " off " when off stage. Both were nice, sweet guys when you had a chance to talk with them, which was rare. Bill once told me I was very funny, but didn't have the commitment to " make it ". He was right.
When I was a kid I thought Sam was funny because he screamed a lot. Now that I'm 38 I think he's funny because I understand why he screams a lot. I'd trade half the comedians working today for one more Sam Kinison show.
I think I’m 38, maybe one more or less, who cares. And yeah dude, you nailed it. I missed the part where I knew about him growing up….but I’ve been married for 4 years now….and I can’t believe how right he is. I would have just thought he was playing up the asshole side for laughs….but actually… AND HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
I used to haul produce from the southwestern states. In ‘92, heading up to Las Vegas from Yuma, I came across a head on car wreck. I didn’t recognize Sam at first, he was sitting down, obviously injured. Since there was lots of people there to help, I went on my way and he passed away shortly after that.
@Donde Merlin I don't think a simple seat belt would've saved him from a high speed pickup truck head-on. Too bad he wasn't a better driver and evaded the drunk kids.
@@michaelmckinney5541 Details? Theory? Put the crack pipe down and realize some people don't have "driving a car" in their DNA. It happened on a road in the middle of nowhere, not hard to see an approaching pickup truck weaving and swerving as it comes toward your car. All Sam had to do was pull over and let the drunk kids pass. We don't know if he was distracted by someone in his car just prior to the collision.
I am amazed that folks still comment about his skill as a comedic talent. Its at least 25 years since I had the opportunity to see him. Long live Sam. What would the world be like if he was still with us. Sam was killed in a traffic accident that was not his or his drivers fault. A sad episode.
Dan Kole --No, and that idiotic drunk teenager that hit Sam head on kept crowing at the scene about ‘killing Sam Kinison!’ He hardly got anything either.
Sam was the 1st true rock and roll comedian. A decent piano player, and a very good guitar player who had a no 1 hit single and number 1 Album. His friends he partied with were the biggest names in music. Look up Wild Thing.
That unfortunate British audience. They didn't get to see him do his EPIC "Don't send them food, .... send them luggage, U-Hauls ...... Heh, heh C'mon over here .... you know what this is? (Does a lifting motion with his arm) Yeah. It's saand. (Getting louder ....) You know what it's going to be 100 YEARS FROM NOW!??!!! SSAAAAAAAAANNNDDDD!!! ... YOU LIVE IN A F-CKING DESERT!!! Nothing grows here ... NOTHING'S GONNA GROW HERE!!!! SSAAANNNNDDDDD!!!" Just simply hysterical.
That was the first time I saw Sam, the 9th annual Young Comedians Special with Rodney Dangerfield. In the opening credits, Sam pulled up to the event in a taxi, gets out, and screams, "Why me? AHHHHHH!" I remember telling my sister, who had it recorded on BETA, " gotta see this guy!" He didn't disappoint! 🤣
Doug, that truthfully is one of my favorite skits of his. Cuz it’s so absolutely based on facts and reality, which is what makes it so funny! Thanks for mentioning it!

Great preacher-trained voice for stand-up work. His secret weapon. His pocket howitzer from.... 4:48 on. No other comic had that gear shift in their voice.
Once or twice, and sometimes more than twice, I need to put a smile on my face, and this man still does it. You gone Sam... sadly. But look at you, wherever you are now, you keep putting smiles and laughters in our faces. God Bless You.
Loved Bill Hicks and Sam... I grew up in the UK (even though I am a US citizen) and think when both were unrestrained and Blue, they translated better.
+Giles Evans as an american....fuck that's true. We love guns. We love buying them, shooting them, going to war with them, dating them, marrying them, having kids with them, and after doing the last three things, killing ourselves with them
I was almost half his age then, and now I'm almost 10 years older than he was then. I remember being woken up by my mom telling me that he was killed in a car accident. I was bummed out, and pissed off because I was asleep, and bad news like that could have waited...
I remember seeing this for the first time on telly when I was a kid, it made quite an impression on me. I loved the routine & loved him - hilarious. Hilarious, so true to what I was witnessing around me!
His first appearance on Letterman was the funniest skit I have ever seen on TV. Sad to see him leave this world; especially now when we need comedy the most.
before all of you accepted the lie, that the person next to you, is a liberal, so you better say whats expected. IE, ball lacking society gets worse, when none of you, stand up...... Liberals, like the emperor, have no clothes and you, are clapping for those balls in your face
@@dshelleyfl25 It's an easy conservative stereotype to claim all "Liberals" embrace p.c nonsense. Republicans have been taken over by Christian Nationalists, so Sam's brand of humor wouldn't fly with them at all.
Best quote about Sam- "In the Land of the Walking Dead, he was a VERY Live one..." RIP, Sammy. Bunch of us STILL miss you, & we NEED you now more than ever...
Good on you, Brits (especially, in that audience), for warming up to Sam’s style, as quickly as you did; you seemed a bit shy, at first, but Sam definitely knew the cure for that... I’ve always been a fan of British humour and I must say it’s refreshing, to see these two worlds meet...
Ime so late to the party ! .... , only discoved him about 6 months ago , been playing the world hunger gag over ond over and laughed as much as the first time i saw it , total brilliance... so tragic the final hand he was delt , no better example of how life isnt fair, imagine how much more gold there was left in the bag ! Good on ya Sam .... and THANK YOU !! 👍
It is fortuitous that this PRIMAL SCREAM was captured and immortalized..no other comedian comes close to this style...they'd be accused of stealing the act...he slowly builds it to an explosive crescendo...oh oh whoaaaaah!
Some of this skit doesn't really work in England...the bit about being "so bored I started worrying about my yard" is a genius observation in America where suburbia is defined by perfectly kept lawns and would draw large applause but in England this crowd went What?
I think Sam Kinison would be the best comic you’ve ever seen providing you only watch him once. It’s stunning first time you hear him but you only need to watch one of his shows to have seen all of them.
I got to experience that scream from about 4 feet away.
JJ Ryan
Color me jealous green.
Are you Gary did you ever get married.
JJ Ryan
I wonder if it gave you a sense of completeness.
Yeah had the volume on my phone al the way off he still made my ears ring lol
I was in the fucking rafters at GMU. I don't recall the show being that good which is sad for me to say since I'm a yuge fan. Still, got to see him!
When Sam Kinison appeared on "Married With Children", the show completed me. Al Bundy and Sam Kinison in the same frame. What a win!
DON'T BE A WISHPIG, BUNDY

That scream was genuine
This is quite a contrast for me since youtube has been recommending a lot of the monotonous Steven Wright.
Well Neil, you must not be married, because if you were, you would be duplicating that scream of despair "OH! OOOOOOOH! KILL MEEE!"

At least Sam got divorced, Gary...like a half dozen times, I think.

Sam Kinison was absolutely what British comedy audiences needed. Him and Bill Hicks during their times. Legend status.
RIP Sam... We all miss you.
HIV = RIP
There will never be another like him...RIP SAMMY
One can hope.
Still watching in 2024.... Timeless comedy RIP Sam

Ime so late to the party ! .... , only discoved him about 6 months ago , been playing the world hunger gag over ond over and laughed as much as the first time i saw it , total brilliance... so tragic the final hand he was delt , no better example of how life isnt fair, imagine how much more gold there was left in the bag ! Good on ya Sam .... and THANK YOU !! 👍
He makes so much sense
Miss this guy...man he was unique and funny.
Genius till today
I had front rows at the original Yuk Yuk’s in Toronto. It was crazy.
He was a trip. Loved him.
why past tense?
I love that you can still hear his scream even when the mic is behind his back.
Sam was truly one-of-a-kind. Rest in peace brother Sam!
It is fortuitous that this PRIMAL SCREAM was captured and immortalized..no other comedian comes close to this style...they'd be accused of stealing the act...he slowly builds it to an explosive crescendo...oh oh whoaaaaah!
Miss Sam Kinison daily. He had just gotten off the drugs and bested his demons then he gets in that damn car wreck :/.
Michael Coffey ..... no his fault though.....17 year old killed him
He was ironically killed by a drunk driver
Michael Coffey MR VETTE !!!!!
God needed a laugh.
Car wreck on his honeymoon !!!!
He should've stayed single !!!
Proving marriage kills !!!!
RIP SAM !!!!
Sam was a national treasure. RIP, Sir. AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REMEMBER THAT FACE GAAARYYYYY!!!
This is about 35 years ago. And I just know that Gary still remembers him.
Uniquely funny, couldn't believe it first time I saw him back in the eighties.
THIS is my favourite Sam Kinison moment. The run-up to and including the first scream. And the minute or two after it. Love it.
Some of this skit doesn't really work in England...the bit about being "so bored I started worrying about my yard" is a genius observation in America where suburbia is defined by perfectly kept lawns and would draw large applause but in England this crowd went What?
Everyone in England knows what a yard is and we have posh or nice area’s where lawns are kept perfect!!
What? People have gardens in England.
*areas
Pretending you don’t know American culture is fucking pathetic. Britishers have such a chip on their shoulder
Great and so far this British TV clip is one of the best quality!
His scream is happiness
I remember seeing this when it was on TV here in the UK, or England as we used to call it before we had to acknowledge the Scottish, Irish and Welsh.
Awesome. I was trying to think why he was making me think of Bill Hicks cos he's pretty different then it hit me. 'PLAY FROM YOUR FUCKING HEART!'
I think Sam Kinison would be the best comic you’ve ever seen providing you only watch him once. It’s stunning first time you hear him but you only need to watch one of his shows to have seen all of them.
