One of the BEST 7 min. Stand Up acts ever !!
"Did you eat the government cheese father?" I've been saying that since I was a kid and I see now I was repeating this guy's stuff! My family must have seen it and talked about it. Good stuff.
Lol me to
Father? Father? Lmaoooo
Man, Robert Townsend was big-time back in the day, and his material is still way up there to this day!
Daady !
Hilarious...sharp writing...
Honey I'm home skit is HERE !
Soooooo underrated!
Always have loved this stand up. And 4:19 I feel like we have entered those times of commercials
“Did you eat the government cheese, father?” Damn, that was a powerful joke! I just love this man.
Saw this when it was on originally. Hysterical 🤣😂
Me too!!!! I had that VHS for years and then it somehow disappeared. Sure wish I had it back! Although I don’t have a VHS player anymore though
Wow total blast from the past I grew up watching Robert Townsend as a kid in the 80s completely forgot about him. Every bit as great as all the greats. Otherwise he would never have been at Dangerfield's
by far one of the best writers, directors, producers, comedians, and actors I grew up to, his appearance in Black Lightning was actually pretty dope especially when he directed the episode💯
Indeed. His First Movie, “Hollywood Shuffle” Is Wonderful.
And He Does Not Degrade Black Women Or Call Us Names 💜.
The first time I saw him perform was that The Comedy Store in Hollywood wonderful stage presence performance was magical
I remember seeing this special waaaaay back in '86 when it was first on HBO, and I 100% bought that a black comedian from Chicago might have that accent.
The first part of this is courtesy of Black Acting School😂
Love that movie!
Yes...."Hollywood Shuffle".
Never before seen by me. Great.
I AM NOW 55 AND this man is AWESOME !! Robert is HOF Comic !
I remember when this was on HBO and watched it. Also I taped it. It had Rosanne Bar on it, too. The stuff between acts, with Rodney and Rosanne were pretty funny.
They sure were and I wish someone would post them on TH-cam!
Dave Chappelle must have been a fan of Robert Townend.
You noticed that too. Nothing new under the sun, I tell ya.
This guy was/is a legend. Hilarious.
l remember seeing this on cable TV in the 80s when l was a kid. When l heard his British accent l was thinking "Does he really talk that way?"
I'm stealing "This shit is goodah" 🤣🤣🤣
Robert Townsend sounds like Slick Rick doing stage comedy 😆
He was on fire then & put together one of funniest movies ever, Hollywood Shuffle. Underrated comic.
Keenan ivory wayans Co wrote it with him
Legend
Wow!!! I had no idea he was so funny!! I would love to see him in a club!
And Cuute!!
LMFAO this is great!
He's the Black Jeff Goldblum 😂
I don't why I like this man, maybe it's just everything he does sounds like the truth.
@4:56.
Tell us about when you were a nigga father! Lmao. Hilarious
Did u eat the government cheese father? Lol
This guy's really funny
The other day I went to a gas station. The sign on the front door said 'Yes, we're open!' I went in and turned around to close the door. The sign said 'Sorry we're closed'. I tell you one thing, that store sure don't stay open very long!
Comedy platinum right there.
Yes!! Thankyou!! 1Nation4Life
Well you did really good Robert oh chum
WARNING! Grammar Police:
"Well, you have done really well..."
My mom taught elementary school in Chicago in the 70s, the govt cheese projects... We relocated to LA to get away from that tragedy.
Watch the movie Harlem shuffle.
Hollywood*
😀
Jherri Curl approves. Not the boss man at Winky Dinky Dog, though.
Genius
Still waiting for meteorman 2.....that was one of the best superhero movies ever.....either chemicals/energy from the meteor reactivate in any crazy way or the rest of the meteor is draw to him slowly because of his exposure to it in the past and that's why it took so long..... Robert Townsend rules
4:05 Think we are there.
He is one of the best comedians ever.
I don't see any new stuff with him.
The PC police must be keeping him locked up.
He's been making movies and television for the past ~35 years.
I've seen most of them. When was his last movie made...or TV show? @@lanolinlight
Boy he was spot-on about the woke “inclusive” TV commercials of the future, with a black husband Chinese wife and 2 adopted white kids.
Hey I am a white man and I ate government cheese when I was little. Don't pick on the cheese man.
No one is picking on anyone.
It is comedy.
A funny non PC time
One day you'll see a commercial with a black man married to a Chinese woman and they have two adopted white kids.
2021: That's what you see.....minus the white kids.
His shit is better than Seinfelds act
Seinfeld is SOO overrated.We just have a population with a abstract? sense of humor,not based on actual comedy.
Yeah, but Seinfeild sucks.
Damn, they followed some shoppers already in 1986. For NO reason. Horrible.
They followed both black and white shoppers if they looked suspicious. I am as white as they come, but in the 80s, I had long hair, listened to heavy metal, and wore black a lot. I was followed all the time in stores. It isn't just black people, even though the democrats want you to think that. And, also, there is nothing wrong with security following or keeping an eye on someone they feel is suspicious. it's their job.
Comedy was so much funnier before political correctness

Got a friend of mine who looks like him and sounds like his opening.
He's half English, half Kenyan.
Grew up attending some elitist school in England.
Love Me Some Robert Townsend. I Refuse To Look Up If He Is Married! I Don’t Wanna Know 😞
Rodney Dangerfield-Forget About It-So Funny. I Still Pop Back To School In The VCR’r From Time To Time. Hilarious.
