Re: Doug Benson - Professional Humoredian

great album Doug, why no smoking vagina bit? Ironically i'm starting a drunk to stoner translating service...

Atkins and Sheen are very much alive and juxtaposed

Re: Doug Benson - Professional Humoredian

Grace notes like "google maps" and "black history, yo!" made me giggle like a fool. And "Ginormous" is the funniest bit I've heard in many a moon. Fantasteriffic!

i think everything from my first five years of comedy is gone from the act at this point. there's a couple bits on the cd that are pretty old, but most of it is from the last three or four years. i think. i'm bad at keeping track of this shit.

the smoking vagina is in SUPER HIGH ME, and i tried to have little or no overlap between the movie and the cd.

(what's atkins and sheen?)

Re: Doug Benson - Professional Humoredian

If I'm not mistaken, the closing joke* is a Benson "classic" from days of yore (not sure how old, but I remember hearing it back when I first saw Doug at M Bar in the early days of CDR).

*
Spoiler below (highlight to read)
smoking in the car, flick cigarette out the window, etc.

Re: Doug Benson - Professional Humoredian

yeah, that joke is pretty old - but with the newer "i'm trying to do observational material" set-up - but the t-minus bit is absolutely the oldest bit on the recording. for some reason audiences have consistently enjoyed that joke for what could be a decade or more, so it's hard to drop it from the act because it's so reliable.

(none of the above will be in my new comedy central half hour)

I got my autographed one yesterday. I slept with it. It was great.
