The first time I saw this in the mid-1980s I literally could not breath because I was on the ground laughing so hard. A talented man who's career and life were cut short.
@@jakep8921 Why don't you tell everyone what your biggest accomplishment in life is. Besides the day when the kindergarten teacher gave everyone who showed up a participation ribbon.
@@stanleydavidlepretre4241 um what? Maybe you misunderstood my point. My point was his amazing level of comedy died before he did. He did a lot of drugs after becoming famous and became a terrible comedian that fell from absolute greatness. It's truly a sad story, but I wasn't disparaging his comedic skill when he was great. Just that he was not doing great comedy years before he died. He was great, but it was sad to see his decline. Why did you feel the need to attack me personally?
yep me too - Rodney introduced him as "Bad Sam", im 62 and I thought sam was hilarious - Sam was originally a baptist fire and brimstone preacher, easy to see where he learned his bit--LOL
Except we do. There are a TON of people moving out to deserts now. With these terrible droughts happening in the West, people are moving to deserts in Nevada and Arizona because they are stupid. No natural source of water, which obviously means you gotta move there. :/ There was once a time when cities would only pop up around sources of fresh water. Not anymore! Now we let our arrogance overwrite our rationality.
@@Paranitis We actually can truck water out to the desert, so it's not a big deal. If people don't like living there, they can move back. And who the hell is "we"???
@@ffjsb "we" as far as Humans. It's pure arrogance of us Humans to settle in places where there is no source of fresh water. Play the Nomad game all you want without a fresh water source and that's fine, but you don't settle where there is no water. It's literally why the first known settlements were near fresh water sources, since it was possible to use that water for things like farming and irrigation. We no longer had to move from place to place once we learned how to farm.
@@Paranitis well now we make our own natural water sources man made lakes and shit but definitely doesn't help with a drought we gotta make more water or less people
@@Rebelrocker69 I have to look it up. You could be right. I’m fact there’s might be two albums. The one I’m talking about is with the “gay terminator” bit.
A classic. Not only because of homage for the late great Sam Kinison (RIP), but also because of Frank & Mondo. You guys put a smile on my day when I really needed one. Thank you!
Sam's buried about 3 rows over from my parents. Memorial Park Cemetery-Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'm sure he keeps mama entertained, but dad would be yelling to stop the damn hollerin'! lol)
Funny line, though it's odd to say that knowing that two major cities (Phoenix and Las Vegas) are right in the heart of the Sonoran and Mohave deserts, respectively.
Oh man, me and my friends LOVED this guy. We memorized half his material. Much of this stuff I know by heart. Sad the guy died a tragic death, cut off early. RIP ya maniac.
I have never seen these guys bust up to this degree before!!! It's awesome! I caught Sam live twice in the eighties and once in 91 right before he died. He was an absolute terror on stage. Nothing like him! We had to cross a protester's picket line to see the last show in Anaheim!
Fortunate to see him live in '90 in Colorado Springs while stationed at Ft. Carson, never laughed so hard in my life, tears flowed freely...RIP, Sam...
STILL hilarious even 40 YEARS later! Sam speaking the truth...This might be as Good As It Gets for true comedy. A true, certified Classic TO THIS DAY! 🤣
This was the video that introduced me to the great Sam Kinison! I remember watching this back in the mid 1980s as part of Rodney Dangerfield's Comedy Special. If you can find it, you should check out another hilarious clip from that same show from comedian Bob Nelson, with his bit about football.
He was the next funniest one on that show....and that girl. Oh and then the Russian guy. Bob Nelson eventually had to end that skit years later when woke shit started.
Fun Fact: Kinison and Hicks were part of the Texas Outlaw Comics in Houston in the mid-80s, and before he was a comedian, he was an ordained Pentecostal minister. True story.
Yes. Don't know if the following part is true. But I heard he was in a bad car accident. He exited the car beat up and bleeding, and whispered "If I have to." Then he passed out. Then quit the church and became a comedian. Only to die in another car wreck ten years later.
The sad thing about Sam is that he was an alcoholic and got himself straightened out. Then he met a new woman, who had helped him, and they eloped in Vegas. On their way home to L.A., they were hit by a drunk driver and killed.
Sam was one of a kind. Remember in "Back To School" when he was screaming at Rodney Dangerfield and Rodney said "I like this teacher. He really cares!"
If you can find it, watch the approximately one hour long standup routine that Joe Rogan did in a comedy club here in Austin, TX. They played it a lot on local cable access. It's from pre-9/11 2001. You're right about the Kinison influence; it's evident in many of his bits. You could easily see and hear Sam doing it.
Sam Kinison was a savage that world hunger bit was done right in the middle of those charity songs like We are the World which made it even more hilarious. First time i saw him do that bit was on David Letterman's late night show and i almost coughed up a lung it was so funny.
He was absolutely marvelous on stage. I saw those two bits so many times I had them memorized. The story of his death was one of the most dramatic things I've ever heard. Car accident, Sam is out of his vehicle, and he's saying he doesn't want to die now, why do I have to die now. Then seconds later, Oh, okay. Okay. Then he died. The documentary I saw about him was so intimate and heart-wrenching. What a talent he was.
I have a friend exactly like how Sam described it. My friend can't go anywhere without his wife's approval. About 2 years ago, we were helping a friend move and when we required his assistance again, she wouldn't let him come back.
Screaming is his schtick when he’s on stage and I love when he starts screaming say it say it say it but he screams the words SAY IT!!! He was freaking funny!!
Nah, the only truck that hit Sam Kinison was fundamentalist Christianity. He used to be a Pentecostal preacher before "he saw the light." Edit; Thanks to Joe below I learned that Sam Kinison was hit by a truck when he was a little boy. Now I know!
The only thing better than when I saw Sam Kinison for the first time back in the day, was watching my favorite reactors seeing this routine for the first time.
I don't know what was wrong with me in the 1980's ... I didn't like his humor , hated it Don't feel the same way now , he is as funny as they come ... Thank goodness for TH-cam
Thanks guys, on Sam's last birthday party at the elephant run club in Tulsa, ok. where his family lives, I was there that night and Sam was sitting in a corner with his beautiful wife to be, and his family folk.. Funny man.
I got to see Sam at the TLA in Philly Jan 2 right after he appeared on the Howard Stern show and then again 3 years later at Mann Music Center in Philly. What a comedic genius!!!!! I was also listening to Howard when he announced that Sam had been killed by some drunk POWT.
What can I say about Sam he was great. He was a minister when he was younger and a great comic until he was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. Going to a gig in Las Vegas from California. So sad..He was famous for his yell.I will never forget him.I think it's nice younger people listening too older comics
I always loved Sam. Can you imagine if you were Michael? The guy he screamed at in the audience? You would be going around the rest of your life talking about how Sam Kinnison screamed in your face!! 🤣👏
I saw him when he came ontv for thr first st time.Believe me nobody had ever seen a comedian come out and scream like that.It was incredible to say the least
Sam was and always will be amazing. "[Controversial topic] is not a laughing matter..." is Sam's wheelhouse. "But, he's right, tho..." is Sam's usual reaction. Thanks for the vid!
I've been married for 14,000 years and this is accurate.
One hell of a marriage - congratulations?
Lol
@@andreadeamon6419 it's a sad thing really!! I'm in hell on earth!!!
And the congregation said AMEN!
The world hunger routine is one of THE funniest routines in the whole history of comedy.
God was afraid when Brother Sam showed up in Heaven. RIP Sam. And thanks for your reaction, guys.
One of the few yelling comedians where the yelling actually adds to the comedy
Obviously just a joke, but he does make a good point.
@@STNeish Smart clever jokes always do.
We have deserts in America, we don't LIVE in 'em.🤣

There will NEVER be another Kinison
I remember when this first aired on Rodney Dangerfield’s young comedians special, I almost choked from laughing so hard!
Yep. I 100% remember that as well lol. That special also had a 19 year old Jim carrey doing impressions
yep me too - Rodney introduced him as "Bad Sam", im 62 and I thought sam was hilarious - Sam was originally a baptist fire and brimstone preacher, easy to see where he learned his bit--LOL
I remember watching it with my dad... we were both dying laughing!!!
Same here. This was the 9th Annual Young Comedians Special. Sam and Bob Nelson stole the show.
"We've got deserts in America too...we just don't fucking live in them".
one of my favorite lines by him.

This was the man who got me loving comedy back in early 90s when I was a kid. I believe the album was “live from hell” and it is hilarious.
Got me kicked out of middle school for letting my buddy borrow the CD and his parents heard it.
I do believe the album was "Loud As Hell." But you were right in that it is hilarious.
@@Rebelrocker69 I have to look it up. You could be right. I’m fact there’s might be two albums. The one I’m talking about is with the “gay terminator” bit.
It was 1984 I think.
A classic. Not only because of homage for the late great Sam Kinison (RIP), but also because of Frank & Mondo. You guys put a smile on my day when I really needed one. Thank you!
I love when he'd bring a phone out and call audience members ex girlfriends live on stage.
That was epic
".........and we're here with Tom and we just found out that you fucked his best friend"
That's his best bit
"We were having a contest to see who the biggest slut in (insert city) is and guess what...you won!"
God yes!!!
"He really doesn't like marriage." Kinison always said it would kill him,and in a way,it did. He had his accident on the way back from his honeymoon.
killed by a drunk driver just as Sam was getting clean from everything. that's some messed up irony right there.
Clean? He was coked up when he died
@@robertloerwald3 you poor media sheep, absolutely false, what an ignorant comment from a clearly misinformed fool
“Traces” means he wasn’t “coked up”. But you knew that
@@jeffreyglenellen1188 poor robert's last job was head counter at a trump rally. just sayin.
That was one of the funniest comedy bits. Sam was hilarious. I remember watching that stand-up on HBO back in the day.
I do too. I can practically recite it lol.
Sam was dark. He had been a preacher before he was doing stand-up, and his routine about Jesus is great.
"I wouldn't if someone would get a ladder and pair of pliers."
@@eddavis9704 + But the Bible says, yeah buy the book.
@@travissloan6864 he did give us, the alphabet.
He would go back to his church and preach. There is a cd put out by his estate of his sermons when he came back to visit
Sam's buried about 3 rows over from my parents. Memorial Park Cemetery-Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I'm sure he keeps mama entertained, but dad would be yelling to stop the damn hollerin'! lol)
I remember when this originally aired. We had it on VHS and watched it for years and years. Probably one of the best stand up bits ever. RIP Sam.
I still have it on VHS....we play it about twice a year.
I've watched this bit many times over the years and it never gets old.
Saw Sam "The Screamer" back in 1987. Dude was NOTORIOUS. One of the all-timers.
Kinison's dad was a fire and brimstone, tent revival evangelical preacher. That's where alot of his comedy came from.
Sam was actually a minister also but after becoming an Atheist he abandoned that
He wasn't an atheist.
I saw Sam in Cape Cod, MA back in the 80's. He was hours late, way f'd up but blew the roof off the second he opened his mouth on stage. 😂😂😂
"We have deserts in America , we just don't live in 'em asshole!!" Classic Kinison.
Calling them assholes on top of it. Brutal. No one was like him.
Funny line, though it's odd to say that knowing that two major cities (Phoenix and Las Vegas) are right in the heart of the Sonoran and Mohave deserts, respectively.
It’s been so long, but I think he played a guardian angel for Al Bundy on Married With Children! He was a screaming angel at that! 😂
He was it was my favorite episode
I will have to look that up
Oh man, me and my friends LOVED this guy. We memorized half his material. Much of this stuff I know by heart. Sad the guy died a tragic death, cut off early. RIP ya maniac.
He was and still is my favorite comic. Thanks for doing this reaction video.
Sam became an "overnight sensation" after the airing of this Rodney Dangerfield Comedy Show. Every one on that special was hysterical!
Yeah, Sam Kinison was huge in the late 80s. He was a rock star comedian
There wouldn't be world hunger if you would live WHERE THE FOOD IS!!! 😂
I watched this the night it aired along with Dice in same show mid eighties ..Our eyes were watering so funny and new .
This guy was such a Rock Star he partied like one too and left way too soon he has a lot of funny material.
That's not even what killed him ironically.
As Johnny Carson said one time " Sam you are deeply disturbed". Still funny as hell.
I have never seen these guys bust up to this degree before!!! It's awesome! I caught Sam live twice in the eighties and once in 91 right before he died. He was an absolute terror on stage. Nothing like him! We had to cross a protester's picket line to see the last show in Anaheim!
Lucky.
I did see Gallagher. What a hoot. Miss him too
Watch them react to bill burrs “old man face “..they almost die😂
Fortunate to see him live in '90 in Colorado Springs while stationed at Ft. Carson, never laughed so hard in my life, tears flowed freely...RIP, Sam...
Hoo Rahh
I remember the day he died....holy cow its been a minute. Thanks for the trip down memory lane fellas! Should do some more of him!
I saw Sams entire career he was a top comedian find his concert from 1991 called The Sam Kinison Family Entertainment Hour
STILL hilarious even 40 YEARS later! Sam speaking the truth...This might be as Good As It Gets for true comedy. A true, certified Classic TO THIS DAY! 🤣
Sam Kinison, Jonathan Winters, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Don Rickles…comedy geniuses 🙏🏾🤣
One of the best comedy skits of all time
His death was a shock to those of us that were his biggest fans… you take him with a grain of salt and laugh your ass off! 😂🥰😓
When he screams in that guys face 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sam's take on life was amazing. And he left us too soon. That was filmed in the early 80's. And today, marriage and world hunger haven't changed much.
Check out Sam Kinison's cover of Wild Thing. Classic 80s debauchery.
That World Hunger routine is one of the best comedy routines ever. 😂🤣

This will blow your mind Sam was an Evangelical Preacher. You know the kind that gets on stage in a tent and preaches to the masses.
Loved him playing the angle on Married w Children as a parody of It’s a Wonderful Life
"Okay heaven I'm back. What you mean where's my badge? It's in my luggage. They forgot my LUGGAGE?! *OOOOH! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!* "

Oh how I've been waiting for another Kinison reaction. Man left waaaaay ahead of his time.
This was Sammy's first television appearance, and the show that launched his career.
Really enjoy these vids. Commentators are absolutely BAKED!
RIP Sam
Glad to see you guys showcasing Sam Kinison. He was a one of a kind guy that every dude can relate to.
No matter how many times I watch this, I always wind up in tears from laughing so much. 😂😂😂😂😂
That yelling was hilarious so funny ...wonderful Wednesday you are both in it thanku so much love you loads God bless x
The sad thing about Sam is that he was an alcoholic and got himself straightened out. Then he met a new woman, who had helped him, and they eloped in Vegas. On their way home to L.A., they were hit by a drunk driver and killed.
Damn.
I was lucky enough to see Kinison live in Detroit. It was an incredible experience.
Was that the show where he was so drunk he shouted gibberish at the crowd for 10 minutes?
Sam was one of a kind. Remember in "Back To School" when he was screaming at Rodney Dangerfield and Rodney said "I like this teacher. He really cares!"
"About what, I have no idea."
@@Rebelrocker69 you beat me to it lol

And this guy started out as a Southern Baptist Pastor !
Pentecostal Pastor, actually

You fellas are the undisputed kings of TH-cam reactions. Long may you reign.
The GOAT of comedy is Sam Kinison!!
BY FAR my favorite comedian of all-time! R.I.P. Sam
I loved how mellow and sweet his voice was on the set-up. Just made the impact of the screaming part of the joke so great!
It's all the same. It's boring. And annoying.
I have a friend exactly like how Sam described it. My friend can't go anywhere without his wife's approval. About 2 years ago, we were helping a friend move and when we required his assistance again, she wouldn't let him come back.
