Doug Benson - Professional Humoredian

[JPSpaulding]

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

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!

Received it today. Love it!

How far does the material on this album go back? Do you still have things in your act that you wrote in lets say your first 5 years of comedy or is most of your act recently written jokes?

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?)

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:  

smoking in the car, flick cigarette out the window, etc.

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)

Just wanted to remind everyone how amazing this cd is. Re-listening to it and loving it.
