Good memories for sure.

Sadly passing away too early from cancer.
The political satire was spot on for being from the 80s and 90s.
If he could only see us now!

Good call on Oswalt and Philips. My favorite Philips scene was in UHF where he cut his finger off. He was also married to Judy Tenuta, one of the worst comedians in history, IMO. What a strange pair they must have made.

"When I wake up in the morning, I just can't get started until I've had that first, piping hot pot of coffee. Oh, I've tried other enemas. "

"When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me. "

"I used to have a big gay following… but I ducked down an alley and lost him."

No need for swearing or racism either, just very very funny.

It's a fascinating look behind the scenes of how hard stand up comedy really is.
