Patrice O'Neal Elephant in the Room

[QueBert]

I caught this stand up special on Comedy Central, had no idea who he was before this. This dude's fucking HILARIOUS! Easily one of the best stand up's I've seen in a long time. Anyone who hasn't seen it should try and catch it. He needs a 1 hour HBO special so he could really go off.

 

[DangerAardvark]

He's one of my favorites. I caught the tail end of his new special the other day, but Comedy Central is sure taking its sweet time re-airing it.

I've seen him live, one of the funniest standups I've ever seen. I have this on my DVR at home, but I'm worrying about how much they will edit/ruin him to show on TV.

Well the DVD's 71 minutes and this is 41, there are only a few words beeped out, not sure what they cut though. But it's an awesome 41 minutes. I'm about to order the DVD off Amazon to see what I missed.

Can you tell me the general content of his humor? Like is it sexual humor, black humor, crude, fairly clean?
Thanks

He talks about a bit of everything, definitely not anywhere close to clean. Observant and intelligent, I would imagine the DVD's much more ranchy. He's not going to be funny to people who are easily offended, if you'd be put off by a person saying they thought because they voted for Obama. That they thought they were going to get a white slave, it's probably not for you. He talks about all people though so it never comes across as racist.

I've heard him on Opie & Anthony quite a bit, and I quickly tired of his two song act.

1 -- I hate whitey.
2 -- I hate women.

Maybe there is more in his standup, but I turn off O&A when he comes on because I am so tired of his ranting.

Seems like you'd get tired of Anthony's two song act just as quickly:
1) I hate liberals
2) I hate minorities

Naw. Anthony mixes it up with his hysterical imitations and his gun rants.

Ah the preview for it looked hilarious. Will have to catch this!

Pretty much why I stopped listening to the show. The first hour or two of every frickin' show was dedicated to that. It got really old.

He was also on that Colin Quinn show where they had the 4 commedians out talking about political issues (before the Colbert Report came out...)

I loved that show and he was a regular on it. The only problem wa sthat they ran out of things to be funny about (it started to get rather repeditive) and it was too close to Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect" which was also great before Bill got too big an opinion of himself.....

"give a man and a woman a lie detector test, they'll both pass up until a certain point. Ask the woman "do you love your man, your family, your home? what you built? "yep" alright, you see Brad Pit or Denzel Washington standing there would you you risk everything you built with your man just to sleep with him?" They'll go "uh they look good but nah I wouldn't" and they'll pass the test.

Ask guys the same thing *boom* "You see that girl passed out behind the dumpster? Would you risk everything for a girl passed out behind a dumpster?"



"ladies, you want to do all your sexing between the ages of 30-50. Here's how sad things are, the value of Vagina's only good from 18-29. Pussy gets old like bread, not like wine"

FUUUUCK this dude is funny, the bear + fish thing was hilarious too.

Was gonna check him out, but this doesn't sound funny. Difference between men and women? Hot damn, haven't heard that stuff before. :\

Completely the opposite for me. I love when Patrice is on the show. Nice to get a break from Jimmy once in awhile ( but Jim is awesome too). I remember a couple months back they had Kevin Hart in there, and Patrice called in ( apparently they are old friends). They were going back and forth at each other, telling stories.. it was funny as hell. Another classic patrice is when they have one of those womens sex book authors on. She comes on promoting this book that it would provide some insight for men into a womans mind.

Patrice tears apart her whole thesis in like 5 min. She couldnt even defend her own points, I think he even changed her mind on a few things before it was over with.


Patrice is definatly not your average "White guys do this... Black guys do that" comic. I haven't seen his special yet, but he was on last week saying the DVD has more material on it. Apparently CC cut out some choice bits from the act to make it fit their timeslot.

Hopefully it makes its way to Netflix

Tough crowd was awesome.

Ive heard the regulars talk about it from time to time ( Norton, Patrice, Colin, Geraldo(RIP) Nick D, etc)

Apparently Comedy Central killed the show when they really started micromanaging what they could & couldnt do creativly. Twords the end, they even started trying to lead the guys on how the conversation should go & tried to write jokes ahead of time.

Its too bad, because they had some really REALLY funny guys that leaned either way politically it made for some entertaning heated debates. ( Nick D vs Greg D had some classic ones)

 

[DangerAardvark]

Yeah, I miss that show. It was awesome when Giraldo almost got into a fight with Denis Leary.

Dead @ 41 from complications of a stroke.

RIP Patrice. Elephant In the Room will supposedly re-air shortly if it hasn't already. XM is also doing a Patrice tribute all weekend from Saturday at 6am to Monday at 6am. Basically every appearance he made on satellite radio plus some other bits. No repetition either, just proving how much he did.

He also has a new comedy CD out called "Mr. P". His last major work before he died. It's available on Amazon for pre-order and will be out in February.

Indeed, RIP Patrice. He was always willing to call people out on their bullshit, regardless of who was spewing it. It's sad to see such a (relatively) young talent go.
