The genius of Stanhope is that he talks like it’s all just coming to his head right then and there. So natural and there’s genuine joy in his face as he does it. Flawless.
The delivery is great!
"yeah, just 'membered"
classic. love him.
Seen him tonight and he's still hilarious, Doug is a great comic
Seeing him in 4 days. I have no doubt he'll remain my all time favorite.
Tremendous
Good to know he's not dead yet
Very nice dude too.
Radiohead
It gets hard to say Doug is wrong when every band’s first album is their best. They get rich and sober and work hard to make a polished album and it’s always worse…
Except for The Beatles. However, they only proved your point as they did _more_ drugs as they went along.
Pet Sounds-The Beach Boys
True.
Not always
Led Zeppelin.
My lesson from this is to not do drugs, but to enjoy the creative product of artists who needed a lot of drugs to produce their material.
No and yes
I used to work as a musician in a jazz bar and... not just me. I'm pretty much a noob at jazz. But the sober people mostly sucked. They weren't bad musicians, their stage presence was just tense and weird and they were always alert and jumpy. The slightest sound could distract them and it's a fucking bar. It's sounds all over. They mess up, they get annoyed, it's a mess... And as for me - the more I got up there, the more anxiety, impostor syndrome and all sorts of bullshit started flooding in.
Alcohol isn't the best way to deal with this, but it does help you calm the fuck down and do whatever it is you were going to do. It gives you that headspace that being among a lot of people doesn't allow. Stage fright is virtually non-existent when you're drunk and you allow yourself to have fun without feeling embarrassed about it.
You're not wrong, except that alcohol is the absolute worst way to create the state of consciousness we all seek.

My funniest drinker joke was told to a court ordered driver modification class. When the teachers went around the room asking "what would it take to convince you that you had a drinking problem?"
Three guys before me said " being arrested for drunk driving."
I said "liver failure?"
So how many more sessions did that get you?
"Pour more funny down my head" lol omg
lol
Doug Stanhope is the best.
Ron white was that way he drank when he performed 🎭 made him funnier
allowed him to tell bar stories like they were happening again
All the great comedians were best on drugs/alcohol.
GOAT of the living, and he's headed for all-time.
There really is a difference when you're active vs "sober" ; you tend to lose your edge. The problem is Time + Gravity.
Learned 5 musical instruments speak 3 languages but I've never been diligent at anything else. My grandad was put in a Russian gulag as a kid my folks worked to 70 why should I work hard in these end times?
What else is there to do? Might as well pursue your own goals rather than fade out pathetically.
If you want to write music let me know
Is the end near ?
For most of us it’s closer than we’d want it to be or realize
Gosh I love this! lol
The funniest bit at the beginning of this bit is cut off.
If you ever thought the alcohol marketing that beats you over the head on tv, radio, at ballgames, etc. didn’t really have any effect…
Just realize how believable this routine is.
Doug Stanhope could be Al Bundy if he worked at a shoe store.
its not about working hard its about getting things done
Lmao just finding him now wow
damn, i never shoulda quit smoking cigarettes
Liquid Courage.
Which wristwatch is he wearing here?
Gold
Man this shit fr

Some of the most professional capable people I've known have been high functioning Alcoholics. my theory is that there are on such a greater level than the rest of us that they need the alcohol just to tolerate us idiots .
I'm neither professional nor capable, but your theory speaks to me.
I worked for a beer company during the pandemic.
We got declared an "essential service" pretty much right away, but when news of the lock down first came around, I said "It's not going to affect us, I'm telling you right now. There are WAY too many functioning alcoholics in society."
Our supervisor said "Well, if the government decides we have to shut down..." and I answered "Many of those functioning alcoholics are MEMBERS of our government, don't kid yourself."
My he live as long as he wants.
Fkin eh right!
Just because you smoked and drank and did drugs doesn't mean you didn't work hard. Showing up is working hard.
I think he’s exaggerating for comedy effect. He might not have worked hard to get good material but he still worked on his performance skills by doing it.
You're right about that, and I'm not ragging on him, just pointing out that he's contradicting himself within the bit, which adds to the comedy I think.@@AutomaticDuck300
It all depends on what you think work is. I'm currently working on a fairly complex theory and most of the creative thoughts that I have needed for it come from either laying in bed, sitting on the toilet or having a shower.
There's a work side to it too, including a lot of research and writing, but it never feels like work because I'm genuinely interested in what I'm doing.
Work would be having to do some menial or hard task for the purpose of which, I do not know, other than to make some other guy rich. That's work and it sucks.
Nah, showing up is the least of it. And I'm pretty damn certain he's knows his life a weeee bit better than you do.
Look at his itinerary. Airports and rental cars and Ubers and dive bars. Thats way harder than I've had to work and I'm loaded. He probably writes his own material also. @@kevinlakeman5043
G.O.A.T
the irony of him being a white guy admitting he didn't work to be where he was AND wearing a libertarians shirt. unintentionally funny
He killed himself for like 15 years before doing this special as a road comic
@@simplenough not as much as a woman or person of color would have had to do ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@bender445 kinda sounds like you’re picking a fight. Why stop at race or gender? What about gay or trans comics?
@@simplenough trans gay comics of color with a peg leg.
Now he's so fried from years of drinking he's an incoherent, drunk, stuttering mess.
Wasn't when I saw him in Cincinnati his last time around. Perfectly coherent and damn funny. And how many comedians are as funny in their 50's as their 20's & 30's?
@@kevinlakeman5043 I feel many of the greats are/were funny from their 50s onwards. It's fine if you disagree. I think Stanhope easily could have been at George Carlin's level as he aged if he wasn't so hell-bent on self-destruction. This era of his comedy is superb
@@deyoungstar
No one is on carlin's level. Carlin was methodical about his material and composed it like he was writing poetry. His exaggerations and expressions were always on point, and if you watch him tell the same joke twice at different times, it looks flawless with minor adjustments in delivery. Doug is slower, more messy, and sloppy in delivery, but he can deliver a good punchline after patiently building up the story. They're both great with observations and sarcasm but vastly different in articulation and presentation.
Well said. @@Gxlto
If i closed my eyes, I'd swear i was listening to Trump. Sounds just like him. Legend.
I don’t think he’s funny at all…
nobody asked
thanks knob. now go back to your Jeff Dunham and Carrot Top.
Ironically Doug would approve of your individualistic stance on this.
@@stellviahohenheim nobody asked you either…hahahaha
This isn't funny. This is dinosaur humor from the 80s. Bill Hicks did it better (and was very funny).
I respect Hicks, but Stanhope runs circles around him.
Keep it up.
First time I’ve ever laughed at a stand up comic
First time I've ever replied to someone's comment about their first time laughing at a stand up comic.
@@acidwizard6528 my 1st time ever doing 2 1st timers at the same time.
@@acidwizard6528 no way 😮
1st time i ever fealt genuinely bad for a person on TH-cam.
I haven't known laughter yet.
