I concur. It’s either my life has turned to shit, or it turned to shit while I’m going through withdrawals- Doug always sets me straight, and helps me cope with it all. That speaks volumes, where you can laugh while going through a combo of shit & withdrawals.
Stanhopes early to mid 2000s albums were a run of pure genius. You can tell how he influences other comedians that are getting big now . He was like a Bill Hicks on steroids talking about shit I can more relate too. Especially in my 20s and 30s. He’ll always be in my top 3 for those first 4 albums there like the illmatic of comedy albums . 25 years later they’ll still be dope .
@@RicardoMoralesMassin no. That one you're talking about is absolutely amazing but I would rank Deadbeat Hero above that one just by by a bit. They're both great

Ethanol is ethanol, it doesn't matter if its beer or liquor, the amount taken up is what ultimately will destroy your liver. That is a fact by the way, you could argue that beer is not that harsh on the stomach but that's about it.
I still don't understand why anyone would invent it. It's not enough that two people love each other, they have to sign some papers so everybody else will believe them.
@@gracefool It's either easy divorce or the state forcing people to remain married. Should a judge really have that kind of power over our personal lives? Here's how you eliminate divorce - stop getting married. Marriage is nothing more than a long-term relationship with tax benefits. Give it any additional meaning you prefer. It doesn't change that fact. Thanks to indoctrination it's seen as the only viable option. It's a huge industry that targets little girls who grow up and eventually manipulate their boyfriends into doing something very unnecessary. Perhaps if the government stopped shoehorning people into marriage with tax incentives it would lose its market value. By chance do you happen to be married? If so I've a question. What rules are present in your married life that were not present during your dating life? Dating: Don't cheat, support one another and raise children together. Marriage: Don't cheat, support one another and raise children together. I'll choose simplicity over unnecessary complexity any day.
Just discovered Stanhope and binge watched the two specials I could find. I’d notice myself dying laughing while simultaneously getting goosebumps from the truth that he’s spitting. Unbelievable comedian
@Mattias Maes Probably Lenny Bruce. He's the guy who said something like: "If jesus was killed today, Christians would be walking around with electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses". He was the first comedian who was brutal like Doug. He was arrested often for it and the government hated him.
What makes him great is the fact that he's a genius who absolutely doesn't give a fuck. He doesn't try, and he's still just naturally better than everyone else.
The best part of Stanhope being kicked off Netflix is that now I can watch all of his work on RUclips legally, even his Netflix special. 😂😂 I feel like I’m back in Highschool.
Kicked off Netflix? I would research it, but the "specials" that Netflix pays tens of millions of USD to lowbrow comics like Chappelle and Gervais are the polar opposite of Doug Stanhope's comedy. They are small-minded bullies (D.C. and R.G) Doug Stanhope is a sage, and a deep thinker, masquerading as a belligerent slob. Canned by morons? A fitting endorsement of Doug. Thanks.

He fuses 'tell it like it is' with a sharpness that rivals Carlin, in my opinion. His views on patriotism, military worship and childhood indoctrination are both funny and startling.
Carlin was just a grouch, not funny and would never gotten close to Stanhope funny. Do not get offended I know a guy who thinks adam sandler is funny...
cravinbob I enjoy listening to Carlin but I rarely ever laugh. I was never sure if he meant to be funny or not. He had a good bite and interesting take on things. I prefer Stanhope.
I think Carlin just hasn't aged well. I used to listen to Carlin in the early 2000s and I thought all his shit was really funny. I tried relistening to some of it recently, and it just comes off flat and ranty. I still love the man's legacy but I'm not sure there's anymore laughs to be had at the Carlin well. But I do agree with Typhoid; Stanhope has a sharp, tell-it-like-it-is edginess that Carlin had. This weird middle ground between "angry YT comment edgelord" and "politically correct milquetoast SJW" that comes off as some of the most honest shit today. And the fact that there's some laughs peppered in there doesn't hurt.
Yup that's one of my all time favorite bits lmao. Legendary. "This is a sting operation!" "Yeah, I did a benefit for fallen officers, it was called the Pigs In Blankets Foundation."
Correction, people die from the state of drugs as they are under the oppressive drugs war; which funnels funds to violent criminals and leaves substances unregulated, which is what causes most of the deaths. In a regulated system people could just take a clean substance and seek medical advice if anything goes wrong, using the taxes from their substance use to fund the clinic seeing to them. I don't blame people for using drugs in this world, you need to be hopped up on something to keep dreaming in this hellhole. Maybe we just need to stop trying to control peoples behaviour where they do not harm others. "That man took 3 tabs of ACID! He realised things of an ineffable nature and ate a box of cereal, cardboard and all. How inconvenienced everyone was by his theraputic madness!"
If you watch Carlin sets from the earliest stuff to the end, he just got more cynical. I truly think if he could have lived another 40-50 years he would have reached Doug levels of apathy and anger. I wonder who will pick up the mantle after Stanhopes liver puts it's two weeks in.

Massive. I have seen so many lists of "best comedians" and Stanhope was not on a single one. He was too good for the system. This is comedy in its purest form, yet people just want comics jumping around talking in funny accents.
Do you really have friends? If you can talk about stuff with them the way Stanhope talks about stuff with his audience, and at the end of the day you don't want to kill them and they don't want to kill you, yes, you really have friends. Otherwise you might be kidding yourself.

My point is, if these are the memories he, and others, hold dearest about him, fucking giver buddy!
doug is the most underrated,underappreciated comedians allive! DBH is in my all time top 5 specials list and i watched it so many times. it dont gets old
Doug is one of those rare comedians who has this philosophical talent in which they can analyze social ills and interpret them in such a way that it not only makes you laugh, but also leaves you in a state of contemplative rumination. I'm happy that he's getting more recognition than he used to have.
Fearless. I get that the content is questionable but to continue when you know the vast majority of people don't appreciate or understand that he's joking/serious, takes incredible courage. I'd rather face the possibility of a gun to my than say things like this. What a brave, hilarious hero.
Jody Powell It's not even questionable content. It's just real talk, from a real OG who doesn't give a fuck what anybody thinks as long as they paid for the ticket to watch. This man is as real as they come, I wish I had the courage he does, and he's among that top tier of comics whom are as unique and truly talented as they come. Carlin, Hicks, Chappelle, Kinison, Pryor, Bruce, May, Murphy, Hedberg, Williams, Mac, Rock, Rickles, and Stanhope. If you listen to any of these men today in 2019, you'll realize what it means to be timeless in comedy. I confidently believe that Doug is among the very top of that list, he's simply not "corporate friendly" enough to be more mainstream... and we should all love him even more for that very reason!
My sister and I made a comitment. When we are 75 we start doing heroin. Because fuck it, it seems to be awesome and at this age what are you gonna lose?
A lot of elderly are already prescribed heroin as pain relief. It’s not called heroin of course it’s by it’s chemical name diamorphine, in the uk anyway. So yeah it’s not that strange a thought.
Watching Doug Stanhope is like watching George Carlin for me...I hardly laugh because it's almost too honest to be funny, but more like watching an elite Ted Talks. Nevermind, I kept watching and laughed my ass off. The previous statement still stands otherwise. This may be the funniest stand-up of all time.
The fact that Bill Burr has admitted that Doug is "better than me" is such an amazing thing. He is underrated beyond belief. He is an incredible comedian
Reminds me of his bit about being lied to your whole lie, you can trust cops, you'll use algebra, weed leads to heroin. This man is a national treasure.

A lot of elderly are already prescribed heroin as pain relief. It’s not called heroin of course it’s by it’s chemical name diamorphine, in the uk anyway. So yeah it’s not that strange a thought.
I love the placebo effect. I’m a sucker for it.
"Clack Clack, stop me" - legend
“...respiratory Gallagher event...” I’m on the floor here, Doug. You’re fookin’ KILLIN’ me, man!
"Some people just show up places to complain" Doug can see the future
He introduced us to ‘Karen’ and he didn’t even know it
I like how there is one lady in the audience with this great laugh
Watching Doug Stanhope is like watching George Carlin for me...I hardly laugh because it's almost too honest to be funny, but more like watching an elite Ted Talks. Nevermind, I kept watching and laughed my ass off. The previous statement still stands otherwise. This may be the funniest stand-up of all time.
I am dying, here. Oh sheet. Stanhope killed it; he didn't bomb.
comic genius. And still people in the audience aren't listening. Genius set.
I can't believe they laugh at all. A testament to his undeniable greatness
What a Fuckin awesome, relatable comic!
When the cop says im in training and doug smiles. Fuckin gold.
I love that this has been up for years and we're still watching it laughing our asses off!!
The fact that Bill Burr has admitted that Doug is "better than me" is such an amazing thing. He is underrated beyond belief. He is an incredible comedian
he's seriously one of those guys who can make you laugh while still making you constantly feel bad about it..😂😂🍻
Yours Truly i never feel bad about Anything
Always good to watch Stanhope when you're feeling a little too content with life and society as a whole :)
I'm an army vet and this man is spot on in every possible way
My fat ass just got an ab workout. 1 hour abs by Doug Stanhope!
The Stanhope closers are on a class of their own. They flow and crescendo like no one elses. They are true art.
Genius comes in many forms.
Reminds me of his bit about being lied to your whole lie, you can trust cops, you'll use algebra, weed leads to heroin. This man is a national treasure.
Stanhope is so underrated.
"Until the mongols come over the hill swingin machetes tryin to take our fuckin fire hazard underground comedy club away from us, yeah then we all buddy up as one"
Jesus christ doug that shit had happened like a year before you made that joke, that's savage.
mushroom...wallmart...tomorrow..lets fight this one out ppl
and more holes for the ladies....
fuck walmart, go to a field in a few months, find your own
plenty of holes to be found in the countryside, sheep, horses, cows
better off cultivating your own if you cant identify them....not too difficult
Chris M do you have any good guides I can use, because I'm very interested in doing so myself.. can you help me out, and point in a direction to a beginners guide or something?
Feeling like a prophet listening to Doug : got to spread the word about his out-of-this-world talent and wit
greatest of all time hands down. totally eclipses all of the other 'greats' in history
I come to this like an NA member coming back to the blue book after a relapse
this guy its one of the best ever, thanks to bill burr i know about him, and i totaly agree, we need more of stanhope more than ever
33:40 that arm pops up to light the cigarette is just classic, cuz you know it was not planned.
