Watching this in 2024. This is full of pain. And real suffering. And though at times he made me laugh, I still could not stop the tears or the heaviness that weighs down in my heart for him. I felt every assault of insanity, narcissism, psychosis, selfishness, stupidity and evil on his person by those less than he - and they were less by their own design and choosing. Titus has gone above and beyond the mire they tried to bury him in - he has chosen life over spiritual and mental death. This man, Titus, has gone through hell from his infancy on up. It's so easy to tell. He paints the perfect picture of a victim with a good soul suffering under the mania and confusion of evil. My heart is heavy. I hope he knows how important he truly is, how deeply loved by so many and by God Himself. I am happy to hear he finally found a woman worthy of him whom he shall treat with dignity and respect, unlike that which he received before. I hope she treats him with the same dignity, respect and sanity he gives her. That is true love. May this new love be restorative, life-affirming, SANE, generous, easy to get along with, and the mirror of his own beloved soul. And may it last a lifetime.
The president America *NEEDS* right now... Also, if he hates crocs, cork-wedge shoes, and capris, I wonder what he thinks of "DIY Custom-made outfits"?
This is exactly why Christopher Titus is BY FAR my favorite comedian bc he actually gives a shit about people other than himself. I sit outside and watch his specials and the episodes of Titus while getting baked and its AMAZING lmao... Never gets boring and I never get tired of hearing his stories and his jokes.
@@normmacdonaldliveseason3ep866 we all do stupid shit online, doesn't negate the fact he did this to help get through the quarantine instead of singing imagine for publicity and virtue signal points.
I forced my office-mate to watch Love is Evol, and it was the final push she needed to break away from her emotionally abusive ex-husband. Your art saves people, Chris.
@@azlass4188 To be fair, saving a life doesn't necessarily mean it saved a person from dying, comedy, GOOD comedy is a mirror held to humanity. A good joke that hits personal experience can linger long enough to inspire a change.
@@Neyonius you live in a fantasy world if you think good comedy is a mirror of the real humanity. The only thing a joke would do is make them feel worse about themselves. Many many comedians have committed suicide. Most famous comedian Robin Williams.
Been there! Back when I was in college, my incredibly hot albeit psycho bipolar ex-girlfriend tried stabbing me, too. My reflexes saved me. I caught her wrists at the last second. That sharp sound of her wrists smacking into my palms was like a hypnotist snapped his fingers in front of her eyes. She dropped the knife and was horrified by what she had nearly done! Half a heartbeat later, she saw it. She saw the look in my eyes that that was it! No amount of, "I'm sorry," "I forgot to take my meds," or playing suck-face and hugging away my anger was gonna fix it. No way was I going to shrug off her crazy again and allow her to reel me back into her vagina where I'd forget everything and forgive everything. I whispered, "Get..........out." She did. It just goes to show you that poison can come in some very pretty bottles, fellas!
Man I love this special. I always find it so difficult to pitch Titus shows to friends, cause like... I don't know how to describe it. It doesn't feel like typical standup, with the sort of "themes" to each show, the fact that he doesn't feel like he's rushing from "joke" to "joke" but can let a story breath, be a bit serious here and there, take you through some other emotional reactions instead of just laughs, even just the lack of holding a mic. It almost feels like a bunch of related art forms: one-man shows, spoken word storytelling, stand up, even bits of somewhat motivational speaking, all got thrown in a blender and out came.... this. There's nobody else that I know of doing quite this type of show, and I love it.
This one changed my life. Because it made me realize I was that soul sucking monster. Made me go to work on why and fixing it. Much love to Titus and Rae. Forever heroes.
I used to be. I was reacting. I should have left sooner and worked it out on my own. Now im afraid to date. And he made me realize just how bad i was. Not something i like admitting but maybe itll help
@@Ericatrue2.0 I know what you mean. I had to look at myself and my faults and know that I can't be good for anyone. I have to be whole and not burden someone with the expectation of fixing me. No one can do that and no one should do that. I need to be complete and so does she, otherwise it'll never work. Props to you for realizing what the vast majority of people never will.
it is really quite unhealthy to be pissed off all the time. my advice to younger folks is not to be mad. you might not realizae it at the time but if you focus all of that anger on keeping your partner won over instead of being mean and angry . the odds are better that you can work it out. also do not be stubborn
I would like to note that I'm so far from that soul sucking monster that I was that I have been invited to my ex's wedding because we are now good friends and informed I *might* be part of his grooms party. Still not perfect but a long way from where I was. Love y'all, keep fighting, you can become the person you want to be.
this special kept me from killing myself. i was really low and my ex i was planning on proposing to cheated on me and married another guy lol. ive met chris and told him this story and gave me the biggest hug
Corrrection: This man is brilliant. He also is open enough to say, in the midst of his set, that he did not graduate from high school. And he got a laugh out of it! I wonder how long it usually takes him to write a special vs. a podcast. I bet he goes from an outline for the podcast. Anybody know?
I'm my way back from dropping my daughter off at my parents, almost 4 hours from me, so she can be self isolated with them while I work at a healthcare facility, and I was crying, and just like every other time in my life when things got awful and hard in the last 20 years, there's Christopher Titus. Thank you from Canada, and made God bless us all.
39 yrs of nursing, so know the feeling. Dropped kids with full suitcases at sitter on 9/11 not knowing what was the best thing to do, scared if Houston was bombed might never see them,knowing hiding was not the best move. then there was h1n1, sars and worrying had done something wrong when both got pneumonia between events. Now neuromuscular disease means can't work but still feel those conflicts.Peace be with you
My parents saw a Titus performance once when he was a struggling comedian. They were pretty horrified as he shared his personal stories, and they never stopped being horrified by them over the years. I, however, discovered him with his TV show on Fox. I was a kid then (I'm too lazy to look up when that was exactly - I remember being a kid then and never missing an episode while it was on the air) and I found his stories to be oddly (to my parents, that is) inspirational. I was a seriously introverted kid and teen, bordering on being straight-up anti-social - even contemplated suicide myself during that period. When I finally started getting through that period and the urges finally started fading, I discovered Titus' specials. I could tell how many of his show's episodes were based on his stories, and I found that rather comforting, especially around his End of the World tour. Hearing his new personal stories then felt like an affirmation, that even after all the crap he went through in his life and was still bound to experience more whether he wanted it or not, he would keep on going. That gave me motivation to keep going myself, and it was around that time that I also became a fan of Lewis Black, George Carlin, Greg Geraldo, and more, and all of them - Titus included - contributed to me being such a hopeful pessimist, one who hopes for the best to happen but expects the worst out of people (this mindset has yet to fail me). I had not gone full force with this philosophy then, but it had sprouted. And while I still developed a small circle of friends who watches out for each other while trying to minimize any need for an intervention at any point (which we have been successful with so far), we can quickly tell who the worst of the worst are and are able to minimize - or even prevent - any interaction with them, and that's all before such @$$holes are given pedestals and microphones. Then came his Love is Evol special, and I found myself going, "Holy f^^^" repeatedly. Yeah, I laughed hard back when I first saw it (I still laugh about as hard now), and that moment where he contemplated suicide himself, I was floored (but not by laughter - not at first at least). And yet, when he had that moment of clarity afterwards, I found that incredibly inspirational. Even though I've never been in a relationship, I understood how helpful and destructive they can be, and hearing him made me realize, "I haven't been through the worst yet, but those religious nuts known as my parents are not helpful at all. Keep going, prove those born-again idiots just how f^^^ing wrong they are, and above all...quit being a wussy." This has kept on going and building with every special he's made, and his views are a borderline godsend, especially in these times. There are a couple of things that I disagree with him on (mildly, just so you know), but I am grateful for even those disagreements. I hope Chris keeps going, keeps performing, keeps entertaining, and keeps giving us all (himself included) light and hope.
TL;DR I went through a (comparatively) lighter but still dark period, and Titus' stories gave me courage to keep on going, something no one in my family could do. He wasn't the only such person with stories, thoughts, and observations that did this, but he still played a big enough role to warrant mentioning.
I heard this when it came out in 2009. Little did I know I was going to experience the whole mental illness dating scene he described. 29 then. 43 now. Timeless. Relevant. He's saved more lives than he's aware of.
Christopher Titus, I have nothing but the utmost respect for you giving away free what it is that makes you a living is admirable and amazing. It shows how you truly care about the people who like what you do. Can't say anything but good things about you. Thank you for all you do
How do I pay him back? I just discovered him, and am watching every video, thumbing them up, and commenting. Algorithms, make google pay him a little. :D
@@GrimSleepy Can always buy his merch on his website. still has some black friday deals up. I bought the dvd's even though can watch for free just to support him
I think the reason why most people (myself included) say that this was your best is because this special transcends country, race and politics. Everyone can relate to this, not just Americans. Thanks for uploading this. I hope you and Rachel are safe.
"...family doc in small Wisconsin town..." I used to live in "small Wisconsin town", and I truly appreciate all who help those in more remote communities have the opportunity to be healthy. THANK YOU!!! You may even see my extended family on occasion. HOWEVER, I ALSO know how, ummm.... "challenging" some people in some communities can be, in the area of medical science and well being. Assuming you've been there through covid-19, or even are kinda new and dealing with the mess and pieces and variants and other "fallout" of the last few years... I can understand your need for a good laugh! And again, THANK YOU! You may want to get his most recent special, "Zero Side Effects". I was lucky and saw it live, but I'm still looking forward to my copy of the produced version. He's been very cathartic for me and my kids. Hope you are doing well these days! Agapé 303
So true. In no way am I comparing these two, but he is this generation's George Carlin. Tells it like it is and how he sees it, and gives zero fucks what anyone thinks.
Thanks for the laugh. As cool as Titus is, even he would admit that he is a long long way from Carlin quality. Titus is good because he practices long and hard.
The most difficult part of that is the way associating with narcissists and sociopaths in any form starts to create a confusion deep within yourself as to whether or not it's actually YOU who is the narcissist or sociopath. It's like, you know it isn't you...but wait, maybe it is you...but no, what you're seeing and hearing isn't a part of who you are at all...but, uh, maybe it is because why would the running commentary be so consistent otherwise...is your internal narrative flawed, or is something else going on here...until eventually...oh, fuck, I guess it IS me...but it's not...but now it's so ingrained in your head that it is that you're forever paranoid that you are that person. It's terrible.
@@ericamann2533 you have very accurately described gaslighting and a person who has been successfully gas-lit.☹ I know that feeling and it took me quite a bit of therapy to figure all that out.
I know nostalgia is playing a huge part in this, but the first three Titus specials (this, Norman Rockwell & 5th Anniversary) are the freaking bomb. Excellent little make shift trilogy in my eyes.
So glad you posted these. I remember as a kid watching your show with my dysfunctional family and have binge watched everything you’ve posted. You’re the best Titus
While i haven't felt the NEED to kill myself. I will admit that the Norman Rockwell, Love is evol, and voices in my head have made my days SOO much better. I found you after a real bad break up. Helped bring laughter when i didn't have much of a reason to laugh
This special helped me through a bad break up, and then through a bad divorce. It helped me reach out to my friend who was also going through a divorce. It's amazing.
What restaurant you wanna go to? - I AM NOT MY MOTHER! Fell off my couch laughing ^^ You're my cup of tea, Titus. Thank you so much for lifting our spirits in these trying times. All the best. Stay healthy.
My husband hears me laughing and laughing and then he walks in and catches the part about you getting ready to blow your brains out..... Thanks, he didn't think I was psychotic enough😂
first time i watched this was wiht a friend, by the end we were involved. We have been together ten years, just got married feb 29 thank you for stabbing me.
I love how he figured out how to turn a self therapy session into comedy! He's up there workin' out some real trauma, but in a way thats fun for us all!
@@mattienorml349 I know. A lot of comedians are great because they've had a lot of trauma in their lives. I'm glad he could turn that around and use it to benefit himself instead of getting buried in it. Still, I feel bad for what he's been through. His mother is especially tragic to me. He talks about how she was a beauty queen with an extremely high IQ who could play the piano and cook good meals, yet all that was negated by her mental illness. What a shame.
I've been a Titus fan since the show on FOX bc many of the episodes were taken straight from my childhood and they just "spoke to me." But OMFG I just spent the last hour n a half laying in bed sick w/Covid laughing so hard I lost my breath n saw spots! Literally THE funniest thing I've ever heard! I've been watching all of your specials Mr Titus and I cant thank you enuff from the bottom of my heart. For 90 mins or so at a time you make me forget how sore, how sick, how scared I am and THAT has truly been a gift I can never repay you for. Thank you sir!
Hi Mr Titus I just wanted to thank you for this TH-cam special you rock brother. This is why you resonate with so many of us that grew up in that same era with the same issues from the father and mother to the chick we can’t leave lol. Thanks again for the special loved it as usual. Stay save everyone
Thank you, Chris, for the wonderful laughter you give us all, even as you face your own hardships. I wish you the best. Stay healthy. Stay safe. And thanks for putting this up at such a vital time for many.
Loved his show, only now am I starting to watch his stand up. I had such a crush on him when I was younger, and man doesn't age. Maybe it's his humor that gets me.
This is the 3rd time I've watched this, and it's never gonna get old!!! The most important thing for me is that we *gotta be able to laugh!!!* Maybe that's why I've been alone for the last 30 years.... Edit: 4 months later, watching it again! NO ONE is funnier than Chris Titus!!!
Mr. Titus you are the absolute shit for this! I'm an essential employee and drive an hour to work every day and you help me with the drive and the back to back doubles I have to work to support my family. Thank you for your talent and thank you for your generosity! -Jovonna
Many thanks to Mr. Titus for uploading his comedy specials. These specials constitute a decent portion of the man's body of work, and to provide it free to the public is something many holders of intellectual property wouldn't consider.
Hi, I know you may never see this, but, amazing work. Love your unique style and perspective. You a such a beautiful soul in spite of the painful experiences you've had. Thank you💜💜💜
Titus you are phenomenal!!!! You have taught me so much with your comedy and life lessons. Keep on trucking because we need artists like you in this dire time. You are an inspiration to me and my family. Much appreciated
I can watch this over and over, along with"Born with a Defect," Hilarious!!! They're all great but these 2 specials stand out so well. Christopher Titus, you're the best.
I am SO HAPPY this is on TH-cam now! I desperately wanted to hear “VAT DID I DO TO GET STABBED?!” again because I hadn’t heard it in countless years, and a few years ago I tried to search it and I couldn’t find it 😅 Thank you Christopher, you are a comedic genius!

His whole section on gaslighting with the stabby ex is just perfection. So dark, so relatable, so funny. Thank you Titus!
is gaslighting where you put a lighter next to your ass then fart?
I quote the "What did you do to get stabbed?" Line all the time.

Touched me in a lot of ways haha
Such an underappreciated comic!
Absolutely! I can't wrap my head around that fact. He is so great.
Hes appreciated lol. He gets paid millions per special
Right... Is the greatest love it!!!💯
that’s a person not a comic book
It is really frustrating why he is not more known. I love Chris Titus.

Christopher Titus, I have nothing but the utmost respect for you giving away free what it is that makes you a living is admirable and amazing. It shows how you truly care about the people who like what you do. Can't say anything but good things about you. Thank you for all you do
How do I pay him back? I just discovered him, and am watching every video, thumbing them up, and commenting. Algorithms, make google pay him a little. :D
TBF, I didn't know him before finding his free stuff, and I just paid to watch him live. So... kind? Yes. Good publicity?!? Also, HELL yes!😁
@@GrimSleepy Can always buy his merch on his website. still has some black friday deals up. I bought the dvd's even though can watch for free just to support him
@@ithiriaderitan1745 I'm afraid I've not been financially sound throughout this pandemic nonsense of recent times.
@@GrimSleepy I know that feeling
I think the reason why most people (myself included) say that this was your best is because this special transcends country, race and politics. Everyone can relate to this, not just Americans. Thanks for uploading this. I hope you and Rachel are safe.
The hero we need.
Cranky Old Man definitely not the one we deserve...we're lucky in a way
Absolutely love this man felt his love, laughter, tears, and pain, much love from Scotland ❤
I'm a family doc in a small WI town, doing charts and checking labs on Sunday afternoon; thank you Christopher Titus! I needed this.
Wisconsin? What area?
"...family doc in small Wisconsin town..."
I used to live in "small Wisconsin town", and I truly appreciate all who help those in more remote communities have the opportunity to be healthy. THANK YOU!!! You may even see my extended family on occasion.
HOWEVER, I ALSO know how, ummm.... "challenging" some people in some communities can be, in the area of medical science and well being. Assuming you've been there through covid-19, or even are kinda new and dealing with the mess and pieces and variants and other "fallout" of the last few years... I can understand your need for a good laugh! And again, THANK YOU!
You may want to get his most recent special, "Zero Side Effects". I was lucky and saw it live, but I'm still looking forward to my copy of the produced version.
He's been very cathartic for me and my kids. Hope you are doing well these days!
Agapé 303
You are releasing all of your specials on youtube. This is the best thing ever!!!!!!
This special actually saved me from a loveless marriage lol thank you Titus... dodged that bullet.
"actually"
He takes his personal pain and relieves our own...I love this guy.
This special literally saved me from a complete mental breakdown. I’ve watched it no less than 57 times 😂Titus is THE BEST! ❤❤
was engeged she dumped me and moved one in one day and i felt so broken
"literally"
ive seen this at least 5-8 times...so tragically funny. you have to make funny of what is really tragic or it will eat you up,.,
The things this man says are like a trained sniper: Deadly accurate.
So true. In no way am I comparing these two, but he is this generation's George Carlin. Tells it like it is and how he sees it, and gives zero fucks what anyone thinks.
Thanks for the laugh.
As cool as Titus is, even he would admit that he is a long long way from Carlin quality.
Titus is good because he practices long and hard.
@@robertcampbell4063 Personal- I think he is better than Carlin.
I didn't know that his life was an is so close to mine
Thank you for being you , Christopher. I love all your specials. And ”Titus” is still the unchallenged KING of sit-coms. EVER !!!!
Right!? I was so sad when it was cancelled!!
Still wonder why was it was cancelled? :)
"Laugh for the Staff" is such a fantastic idea! Stream it like a fundraiser!!!
Brilliant idea, Andrew! Reason #107 why Titus fans are some of my favorite Americans.
I would donate to it
Comment on this thread people, see if we can get Christopher's attention on it! This is a great idea!! Servers and staff get screwed over so much...
Hey, if it's advertised properly, he might get close to the numbers Markiplier and Jacksepticeye get on their Charity Livestreams!
One of the best and smartest comedians there is. Thanks Christopher titus.
This guy is hilarious. And so accurate. He is absolutely defining relationships with narcissists and sociopaths.
The most difficult part of that is the way associating with narcissists and sociopaths in any form starts to create a confusion deep within yourself as to whether or not it's actually YOU who is the narcissist or sociopath. It's like, you know it isn't you...but wait, maybe it is you...but no, what you're seeing and hearing isn't a part of who you are at all...but, uh, maybe it is because why would the running commentary be so consistent otherwise...is your internal narrative flawed, or is something else going on here...until eventually...oh, fuck, I guess it IS me...but it's not...but now it's so ingrained in your head that it is that you're forever paranoid that you are that person.
It's terrible.
@@ericamann2533 you have very accurately described gaslighting and a person who has been successfully gas-lit.☹
I know that feeling and it took me quite a bit of therapy to figure all that out.
So happy that you met Bombshell Ray! You deserve Happiness for all the joy you brought the world!
Thank you Christopher for everything you do and bringing joy and laughter to a sick and hurting world. Thank you
I'm English and let me tell you my American friend you are a legend for doing this.
Your so thoughtful thank you.
"they're not gonna find ya"
still my favorite line of this show...
I know nostalgia is playing a huge part in this, but the first three Titus specials (this, Norman Rockwell & 5th Anniversary) are the freaking bomb. Excellent little make shift trilogy in my eyes.
So glad you posted these. I remember as a kid watching your show with my dysfunctional family and have binge watched everything you’ve posted. You’re the best Titus
While i haven't felt the NEED to kill myself. I will admit that the Norman Rockwell, Love is evol, and voices in my head have made my days SOO much better. I found you after a real bad break up. Helped bring laughter when i didn't have much of a reason to laugh
I understand that. Fuckin' sucks sometimes.
Yup. We are with you on that. Comedy is life now for me.
This special helped me through a bad break up, and then through a bad divorce. It helped me reach out to my friend who was also going through a divorce. It's amazing.
"Thank you Titus" take care of yourself and your family we need more people like you in this world.
I needed this after a bad break up. Thank you. Your priceless .... Keep moving 💯🤘🏽👉🏽🤛🏽🤞🏽
Hang in there brother 💯✌🏽🤜🏽💪🏽
👉🤛 genius
Being a military brat myself the moment he listed the dads achievements I was like oh this man is gonna destroy you if you play his baby girl wrong
What restaurant you wanna go to?
- I AM NOT MY MOTHER!
Fell off my couch laughing ^^ You're my cup of tea, Titus.
Thank you so much for lifting our spirits in these trying times. All the best. Stay healthy.
That Special was right what I needed during my divorce. It is "so good" funny, even after the divorce. Thanks for your style of awesome, Titus.
Best man ever and the most truth in a comedy show since George Carlin
My husband hears me laughing and laughing and then he walks in and catches the part about you getting ready to blow your brains out..... Thanks, he didn't think I was psychotic enough😂
…. That’s not the worst story 😂
I watched this by myself and never laughed out loud so much. This stuff is GOLD! Classic.
first time i watched this was wiht a friend, by the end we were involved. We have been together ten years, just got married feb 29
thank you for stabbing me.
Awe ❤
jokes on u, we share this to help men in the friend zone harhar ;)
so if any one asks "How long you been married", you can say "we just celebrated our 2nd anniversary but it feel like 8 years"
This man is on our side, can I get a hell yeah
hell yeah
Hell yeah
I want to see a double special with Chris Titus and Bill Burr.
Now that I notice it, they both have the same eyebrows
@@spongebobsquarepants8403 Oh god, I can't UN-see him and Burr as twins! XD
YES!! that would be an amazing damn near perfect performance!!
Why not throw Doug Stanhope on the mix and now you have the three phases of madness
I’m so glad someone else as said this. Both of them are my favourite comedians and put Jim Jeffries in the mix that would be my perfect comedy watch.
I love how he figured out how to turn a self therapy session into comedy! He's up there workin' out some real trauma, but in a way thats fun for us all!
He must have to do that every day. It sounds like he's had a really sad and hard life.
@@greyeaglem I agree.. Had he had a soft and easy life, his material would probably suck!
@@mattienorml349 I know. A lot of comedians are great because they've had a lot of trauma in their lives. I'm glad he could turn that around and use it to benefit himself instead of getting buried in it. Still, I feel bad for what he's been through. His mother is especially tragic to me. He talks about how she was a beauty queen with an extremely high IQ who could play the piano and cook good meals, yet all that was negated by her mental illness. What a shame.
Tragedy + Time = Comedy
@@cluelesspotato8945 A fellow South Park aficionado I see.. Stay classy 🥂
I've been a Titus fan since the show on FOX bc many of the episodes were taken straight from my childhood and they just "spoke to me."
But OMFG I just spent the last hour n a half laying in bed sick w/Covid laughing so hard I lost my breath n saw spots! Literally THE funniest thing I've ever heard!
I've been watching all of your specials Mr Titus and I cant thank you enuff from the bottom of my heart. For 90 mins or so at a time you make me forget how sore, how sick, how scared I am and THAT has truly been a gift I can never repay you for. Thank you sir!
Thank you so much, Mr Titus! You have always been my favorite stand up comedian of all time!
Hi Mr Titus I just wanted to thank you for this TH-cam special you rock brother. This is why you resonate with so many of us that grew up in that same era with the same issues from the father and mother to the chick we can’t leave lol. Thanks again for the special loved it as usual. Stay save everyone
Titus finds the comedy in everything. No matter how serious. Emotional and impressive. All hail Titus!
You are the only comedian my mom and I can watch and laugh at together, I appreciate you sharing your stand up specials with everyone. ❤❤❤❤❤
And this is why Mr. Titus is my #1 favorite living comedian! 😆
Now i know why god took norm macdonald.. He left us christopher. He knew comically wed be fine
Titus, you rock, Sir. Thank you for getting me through this shift.
Thanks for this Titus. I live in Washington state and we definitely need something to laugh at right now.
Thank you, Chris, for the wonderful laughter you give us all, even as you face your own hardships. I wish you the best. Stay healthy. Stay safe. And thanks for putting this up at such a vital time for many.
Loved his show, only now am I starting to watch his stand up. I had such a crush on him when I was younger, and man doesn't age. Maybe it's his humor that gets me.
Everybody loves the guy who makes you laugh. He does it better than anyone!
This is the 3rd time I've watched this, and it's never gonna get old!!!
The most important thing for me is that we *gotta be able to laugh!!!* Maybe that's why I've been alone for the last 30 years....
Edit: 4 months later, watching it again! NO ONE is funnier than Chris Titus!!!
I practically have it memorized, but it never stops being hilarious 😂
As someone currently in quarantine, THANK YOU
I hope you have a speedy recovery, friend.
Hope you are getting better!
Raito Yami ; same here. Do you know Daniel Tosh?
@@clivewells7090 no, but might be worth checking out
@@MatTheArtisan he's like a happy American Frankie Boyle!
Loved this guy since his TV show. He is easily on par with the greats, like Carlin and Williams
The evolution of Christopher Titus is amazing. I followed him since the start of his career. I'm glad he's happy now cuz he deserves it
I made several friends while watching this act back in 2009. Once we all laughed together, we could discuss life, the universe, and everything.
'LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING ' is also the title of one of my favorite books of all time...by Douglas Adams
@@gregstilwell7760 Amen to that.
That ending "and if you are bisexual you have no excuse to not be happy".......I feel attacked lol
🤣🤣
This special helped me so Mitch after getting out of an abusive relationship been a huge fan of u ever since thank you for the laughs
Don’t ever stop making comedy man. You’re goddamn amazing
I will leave this special on repeat to generate as much ad revenue as I can. By far one of my favorites!!
This is Titus' magnum opus! It's an hour and a half of some of the best comedy ever!
Christopher - Thanks for putting your specials on here - it's getting me through some quiet nights lol
Possibly my favourite stand-up special. It’s soooo true on about bad relationships.
We’ve all been there. We’ve all done it
God bless, Titus. You're one of the good ones.
Talk about REAL. I shared this, and wrote with it: " All I can say is- Wow." and I pray they watch this.
Very Very special. Thank you.
"I made my eyes extra round" - genius!
You're great Christopher. Thank you for all you've done for fans.
Titus is one of the most underrated comedians ever he’s so smooth in is delivery and the fact he released it for feee he’s a class act
Mr. Titus you are the absolute shit for this! I'm an essential employee and drive an hour to work every day and you help me with the drive and the back to back doubles I have to work to support my family. Thank you for your talent and thank you for your generosity! -Jovonna
"Weeeelll looks like a storm is a coming" best line ever.
"I'M GOING TO THE SHELTER! I'M GOING TO THE SHELTER! DON'T LOOK AT HER!"
Oh my gosh, you have me in tears with that ceiling fan bit😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣❤️🌹 THANKYOU. It seems that I've cried through it all. GOOD JOB.
I have been binge-watching his stuff the past couple days. He nails it every time, all his shows are hilarious!
From Brazil, thanks so much.
The best.
In 2016 my wife went to USA, and ask, what do you want from here. Don't need to think. ALL the Titus Special.
Miss TITUS show. Ken TITUS is my hero.
@@TheGersonfilho wussy...
When people describe comedy shows as "brutal" I roll my eyes. This was Brutal. Thank you for letting us see your shows :)
You're a good man, Christopher. Thanks for doing all you can.
Found this guy today and I'm literally crying and laughing out loud at the same time. My family is looking at me like 'What's wrong?' 😂
He has a TV show 2 seasons called Titus. It is very funny.
Still one of my favorite specials of all time
Many thanks to Mr. Titus for uploading his comedy specials. These specials constitute a decent portion of the man's body of work, and to provide it free to the public is something many holders of intellectual property wouldn't consider.
love from iraq!! you read it right! you got arabs from iraq watching youra video and i wanna say thanks your videos make life a bit easier for us.
Stay safe & healthy.
Scale 1 to 10 how big of sissies are Americans being over the coronavirus?
The most criminally underrated comedian.
Hi, I know you may never see this, but, amazing work. Love your unique style and perspective. You a such a beautiful soul in spite of the painful experiences you've had. Thank you💜💜💜
Titus you are phenomenal!!!! You have taught me so much with your comedy and life lessons. Keep on trucking because we need artists like you in this dire time. You are an inspiration to me and my family. Much appreciated
Thank you so much for releasing your specials. Always were one of my favorite stand-up comedians ever. 🖤💙💚💙🖤
"She can track elk," is definitely a bonus.. Good job, Titus!!!
I’m going through a breakup right now and watching this again makes me feel a lot better. Thank you for posting this
I can watch this over and over, along with"Born with a Defect," Hilarious!!! They're all great but these 2 specials stand out so well. Christopher Titus, you're the best.
I am SO HAPPY this is on TH-cam now! I desperately wanted to hear “VAT DID I DO TO GET STABBED?!” again because I hadn’t heard it in countless years, and a few years ago I tried to search it and I couldn’t find it 😅 Thank you Christopher, you are a comedic genius!
