Doug Stanhope exposes the sausage factory of modern celebrity in Episode 3 of Charlie Brooker's Newswipe, Series 2..."I'm Doug Stanhope and that's why I drink."
fotc1lova Shit would not get done, he would be black out drunk without pants covered in his own vomit on the White House front lawn, 97% of the time. And God bless him for it.
Somebody out there with photoshop skills, please make a mock 'hope' poster with Doug's face that just says 'BLORT!' and make the image available to the public. BLORT 2018!
This is what i call real education in 3 minutes and 14 seconds.JUST EPIC AND EDUCATIONAL. Lenny Bruce,George Carlin,Bill Hicks,Doug Stanhope,What a great message...What a great AMERICANS.A TRUE TELLERS IN HONEST AND FUNNY WAY...this is what America has been missing for a long time now.
Btw, I rate all those comics too, esp. Hicks (+ I've STILL got a 'Lenny Bruce Live @ Carnegie Hall' LP that I found years ago in a charity shop for £0.50). Seeing Hicks' 'Relentless' on UK TV back in '92-ish, back when I was 16, was a watershed moment for me. Hicks was, IS, a legend: one that is sorely missed...
Doug is eternally optimistic and positive. Anyone who thinks he is miserable, depressed or negative lives in complete denial of reality. Fake people who live in fear refuse to hear or see any truth. Good job Doug. Keep on telling it how it is.
I'm noticing all of the thumbs up on this comment... I'm glad I'm not the only Stanhope lover who also loves McKenna. I'm sure we all love Hicks too. My kind of people. Enjoy the ride my friends. Enjoy the ride.
For 25 yrs Oprah learned and perfected the presentation of The National Inquirer on TV. She was good at that and also tapping into and exploiting the most primitive and basest of human emotions like lust,violence,greed,revenge. All they all wanted their faces on TV. She struck gold.
"Charla Nash had it thrust upon her in the form of a 200 lb chimpanzee called Travis that ate her entire face" Even 14+ years after hearing that perfectly delivered line, I still can't stop laughing 🤣🤣
Oh... my... (imaginary) Lord... This is one of the funniest (and most truthful) things I've heard in ages. I almost pissed myself laughing. Doug, if I ever get the pleasure of meeting you, I have a bag of 'shrooms with your name on it as a gift for all the fun and laughs you've provided me. It's the least I could do.
I really like the fact he is drunk but he is smarter than any guy on tv and in a 1min a something can tell you the life of a american and the realities of life... somehow he is the bad guy , oh dearism really. curt would be proud and no one will understand this reference like most doug said, his sad really but gold.
@Yourebuying being a huge fan of the Fallout series, and Mr. Stanhope being my favorite stand-up comedian, I wish I'd had your thought before you did, because of how awesome it is who thinks Doug should have a guest spot in New Vegas working a room full of Raiders in a bombed out casino?
You can remember how to spell millennium by using this simple rhyme "Millennium if you spell it with two el's and two en's then your got it right - otherwise you've got it wrong" - only another 979 years to practise before we start all over again :-)
Fuck that, to think after going through something as traumatic as she went through to then be taken advantage of by folk who’s only aim is to bleed their story dry to make as much cash for themselves I.e tabloid journalists to sell papers or be paraded on the Jeremy Kyle show, a guy who bathes in the tears of poor people without any care for their well-being or have their best interests at heart. Sounds like a cruel joke to play on them. I would rather shit in my hands & clap or end it than go through any of that. I feel sorry for her x
This is actually a way to measure America's decline. A century and a half prior, Doug Stanhope's role would have been filled by Mark Twain. It's sad. Very sad.
Yep, America has undergone a very steady intellectual rot - it used to be one of the better educated places in the world. Look at the books which were popular in the 1800's and compare them to what's popular now.....America has been systematically dumbed down for well over a century at this point.
I'm Doug Stanhope and that's why I drink ... I love that premise, all you have to do is change his name to your name, that excuse could apply to anyone, and it's my new excuse to drink. It used to be a day of the week, like " Hey it's Tuesday, let's drink some beers but after so many years, my boozing excuse could use a decent upgrade to at least make me sound partially credible.
What the title of the classical music playing in the background? I should know it, I probably have it in my music folder and just can't recall the title. Was it a Beethoven piece used in Immortal Beloved? Something Kubrick used in one of his films?
yea i got a kick out of the miserablist title too. Hey phallicmonk, what makes you say better than hicks? Im not being contentious I love them both dearly and just curious as to your opinion
doug doesnt teach me new things, he just slaps all the thoughts together that I've had for years.
“I’m Doug Stanhope and that’s why I drink” 😂😂😂
Deserve more likes
I got to tell you honestly man I say that line at my AA meetings hahaha
Stanhope for president
Shit would actually get done I'm sure.
fotc1lova Shit would not get done, he would be black out drunk without pants covered in his own vomit on the White House front lawn, 97% of the time.
And God bless him for it.
tribbletrimmer
How is that any different from any other president we've ever had. Bills used to be signed on binders.
+Scott M nah, Doug please make more videos fuck the presidency
Somebody out there with photoshop skills, please make a mock 'hope' poster with Doug's face that just says 'BLORT!' and make the image available to the public. BLORT 2018!
"Step right up......prepare to be be horr-o-fide!"
I laughed my ass off.
Doug's always been one of my favorite comedians. True genius.
"How can you look good punching him..." Man that was hilarious and so true.
Stanhope A truly down to earth dude who never fails to impress me.
This is absolutely brilliant. Bravo Brooker and Stanhope.
MORE CHARLIE BROOKER
MORE DOUG STANHOPE
MORE PHILOMENIA
'There's nothing going on and your missing it'.
This is what i call real education in 3 minutes and 14 seconds.JUST EPIC AND EDUCATIONAL. Lenny Bruce,George Carlin,Bill Hicks,Doug Stanhope,What a great message...What a great AMERICANS.A TRUE TELLERS IN HONEST AND FUNNY WAY...this is what America has been missing for a long time now.
Doug ,you are great, you have all the insight that is required-unfortunately people are people.
"Voice of America" needs to be its own show
SPOKE NOTHING BUT FACTS 👍👍👍👍👍
Dude as an aspiring comic guys like Doug Stanhope make me so goddamn happy. go tell it on the mountain brother.
I'm a big Carlin and Hicks fan, and I'm so glad I found this guy!!!!!!!! hahaha
Btw, I rate all those comics too, esp. Hicks (+ I've STILL got a 'Lenny Bruce Live @ Carnegie Hall' LP that I found years ago in a charity shop for £0.50).

saw him live, best comedian alive
Its a fucking wonder how this man still lives
mm one of, check out Steve Hughes from Australia the best video IMO, look on YT for "Steve Hughes while it's still legal full "
Doug. You are like the drunken uncle that ruins every wedding with a speach about how the couple will never make it.
And the most depressing part is, he would probably be right.
It's also depressing that the this was the best comment of the ten or so that I read despite the fact you spelt speech wrong.
@@harryradley BTW, your comment correcting someone's spelling had the incorrect phrase "It's also depressing that the this was the best comment..."
@@LAnonHubbard Yeah that was predictive text's fault though, obviously no one actually thinks you structure a sentence like that.
that uncle is usually right
This video got me motivated to get up and sweep the patio.
"That's what it is man, what you do is speak the truth and start harming those into the wall."
- Bill Hicks
If this show were to just come out now on TH-cam as a new show it would be huge
Stanhope has surpassed Hicks in the "counterculturalist" brilliance aspect of comedy. I love listening to anything he has to say.
Thank you, Doug for keeping it real through tube insanity.
"Culture is not your friend." - Terence McKenna
So true. Every word. Dougie is the last bastion of sanity in this insane world.
I know it's a small detail, but I love the old suit and odd locations. For some reason that completely makes it for me.
Doug is eternally optimistic and positive. Anyone who thinks he is miserable, depressed or negative lives in complete denial of reality. Fake people who live in fear refuse to hear or see any truth. Good job Doug. Keep on telling it how it is.
please do more of this!!!
Totally true. That's why all celebrity shows (big brother, dancing with stars...) distress me more than a psycho killer getting into my home.
Oprah Winfrey is the P.T.Barnum of the new millennium. Genius.
"This is just a ride" -Bill Hicks
I love the music.
Love the car/bar.
2:01 - 2:19 is hilarious
"Step right up, it's a harrofayin, terrafayin event"
Brilliant work. Hilarious!
Stanhope you are a hero.
I'm noticing all of the thumbs up on this comment... I'm glad I'm not the only Stanhope lover who also loves McKenna. I'm sure we all love Hicks too.
My kind of people. Enjoy the ride my friends. Enjoy the ride.
They should have called it "the voice of truth"!!
Thanks for the super duper cool tips, bro.
I lost it when he started talking about the circus. What a legend
"Human manhole cover."
This was amazing!
coincidently listening to Stanhope's "From Across The Street" while this popped up.
I don't think I ever watched a full episode of Oprah, I'd sooner watch Jerry Springer and I hate that show. I love this guy
"American miserablist" is the greatest term I've never head until now.
This guy isn't a monster he's just ahead of the curve.
Brilliant! (Well, actually, it's not all that brilliant, but it is truthful, and that's something that's in real short supply in America these days.)
background music from a movie called "the fall", made this even creepier, well done.
I love these segments..Andy Rooney eat your heart out!
@HarrisonRocks
Completely true! How on earth can you sanction something like that?
For 25 yrs Oprah learned and perfected the presentation of The National Inquirer on TV. She was good at that and also tapping into and exploiting the most primitive and basest of human emotions like lust,violence,greed,revenge. All they all wanted their faces on TV. She struck gold.
The bit with the legless and armless vs chimp fucking gold
I fucking wheeze laughed at the sight of the armless and legless mma fighter and when the guy had to bend down to punch him as he hobbled around.
Perfect.
Once upon a time it would be a freak show .. but no!! Its an inspiration story 😂😂
"...that just makes me scared to leave the house."
LOL
"Charla Nash had it thrust upon her in the form of a 200 lb chimpanzee called Travis that ate her entire face"
Even 14+ years after hearing that perfectly delivered line, I still can't stop laughing 🤣🤣
“I should get up and sweep the patio” fucking genius
Dries off her tears where her eyes use to be. Aaaaaaahahahahha !
Doug ! Doug ! Doug !
Lmao.. he is drinking a blunc
with a straw... What a riot... Funnest guy I ever saw live.
I am now scared to leave the house.
Oh... my... (imaginary) Lord...
This is one of the funniest (and most truthful) things I've heard in ages. I almost pissed myself laughing.
Doug, if I ever get the pleasure of meeting you, I have a bag of 'shrooms with your name on it as a gift for all the fun and laughs you've provided me. It's the least I could do.
Praying....to no one in particular, he puts out soe more material soon...
i love that little car-thing he's sitting in :D
I really like the fact he is drunk but he is smarter than any guy on tv and in a 1min a something can tell you the life of a american and the realities of life... somehow he is the bad guy , oh dearism really. curt would be proud and no one will understand this reference like most doug said, his sad really but gold.

"Prepare to be horrow-fied!"
And they play 'harpsicord 'music-in and out of the piece.....class : }

"The human manhole cover"
Nope, that just makes me scared to leave the house. haha
Doug is a legend
Doug Stanhope's got his head in the right place.
YESSSSSSS i have that quote on my channel
Doug its time to raise the bar.............with two words: "Cold Duck"
Is that a land rover series 1?
You can remember how to spell millennium by using this simple rhyme "Millennium if you spell it with two el's and two en's then your got it right - otherwise you've got it wrong" - only another 979 years to practise before we start all over again :-)
these are just great, air em in the states lol
Not sure of the exact name of the song, but it's by Blue Oyster Cult.
"The human manhole cover" HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

The sad part is there is a market for this stuff and it will continue on as long as people consume it.
I'm Hudson sir, he's Hicks.
LMFAO... "the human man-hole cover"
This is actually a way to measure America's decline. A century and a half prior, Doug Stanhope's role would have been filled by Mark Twain.
It's sad. Very sad.
Yep, America has undergone a very steady intellectual rot - it used to be one of the better educated places in the world. Look at the books which were popular in the 1800's and compare them to what's popular now.....America has been systematically dumbed down for well over a century at this point.
I’d vote for Stanhope
So true
If you like unfiltered truth, you are going to love doug.
Best comedien in the world period.
Don't forget, it was oprah who introduced the world to those two quacks Drs. Oz and phil.
I'm Doug Stanhope and that's why I drink ... I love that premise, all you have to do is change his name to your name, that excuse could apply to anyone, and it's my new excuse to drink.

He is the Geezer in England that is what we call it well in London anyway
'Here's American miserablist and drunk'
That sounds like me! ^_^
What the title of the classical music playing in the background? I should know it, I probably have it in my music folder and just can't recall the title. Was it a Beethoven piece used in Immortal Beloved? Something Kubrick used in one of his films?
7th symphony, 2nd movement I think
The thing he's sitting in is awesome!
yea i got a kick out of the miserablist title too. Hey phallicmonk, what makes you say better than hicks? Im not being contentious I love them both dearly and just curious as to your opinion
Stanhope is a genius
