I've always found Gregg's best comedic ability with his Neil Hamburger character is his quick response to the audience "heckling" him. He is so good at fiercely verbally destroying anyone in the audience.
I hate to burst the bubble here, I feel like I'm revealing a magic trick but that is actually part of Neil's act. There usually isn't a heckler there and he's just talking to nobody lol. But I have seen a couple videos where there were real hecklers and he does handle them well
@@echoechochamber i heard gregg talking about it in an interview one time. He said usually there isn't even a real heckler and he's just talking to nobody in particular
I like how Neil uses the strange phrase, "nattering nabobs". "Nattering nabobs of negativism" is a famous line from a political speech written by William Safire for President Nixon's Vice President Spiro Agnew who delivered it during the 1970 midterm elections, referring to their Democratic political opponents.
Its exactly what its supposed to be , its a parody of a hack comic who has no boundaries . Its fucking brilliant . The bad jokes are the best ones . This guy has balls of steele to do this and its fucking hysterical . Ppl commenting that he is bad are missing the whole point of the satire .
@@14192jn He makes making very deliberate decisions to sabotage everything about the comedy, and it's just hilarious to me. How he carries himself, the words he uses, intentionally ruining his delivery by drinking from one of his 3 glasses of water mid-joke, checking a note card because he can't remember his jokes, the dated targets of his crap zingers, etc.
@@aquanecromancer5776 fair enough if you like it but just because what he's doing is intentional doesn't make it smart, clever or interesting, at least not for me. I have been a huge stand up fan for probably going on 2 decades now and there are so many stand ups who are far superior imo. As I said shit stand up is shit stand up even if it's supposed to be a spoof of shit stand up and he knows what he's doing, a nudge and a wink that he's aware isn't enough for me to look past lazy writing and surface level jokes with next to no wit, even if that is the point there's not enough extra that he's giving for me to feel like I'm in on the joke with him. I have many of the same problems with Andy Kaufman's material although I can say at least Kaufman's material wss unique for it's time. This is just boring to watch and I shouldn't be bored watching someone whose job it is to make me laugh.
“What’s the difference between a toddler and a bag of cocaine? Eric Clapton would never let a bag of cocaine fall out of a window…..bleaccch.” Is one of mine.
Tony Clifton is a rude, crude, dude with a bad attitude. Neil Hamburger is America's Funnyman. I think they're both equally deplorable and unfunny. We should boo and deride everything either of them says.
I’ve never thought Morrison was the great poet he’s held to be but I do think he was one of the first to deal with darkness in his lyrics (would have to give the Stones first prize for Paint It Black) - but even so the joke is great. Neil stomps all over sacred territory.
His On Cinema personality isn't what he's really like either. He's just really good at comic acting and stage personalities and is super funny and clever

I wish this wasn't associated with silly words like "hipster". It's time to move on. This is funny and that's all there is to it. Long live good stand up comedy!
I get it. Normal people find the humour in his act. But the people who find it unfunny are the people who act similarly to the character he is portraying. It's honestly a great way of trolling these people that are horrible to be with irl
bit was funny, but 15:30 was beyond annoying. I get the joke, and i get the character, but that repetition just didn't work in the least bit. You could tell the audience was getting annoyed. Nothing funny about that.

I also crack up at his use of the throat clearing to drown out people who shout stuff.

I give this five bags of popcorn and maybe a large Hamburger as a keepsake.

More of a keychain guy but I’ll take it.
I give it 5 bags of popcorn and 2 bags of soda
I'd give it 6 bags of popcorn but the scale only goes to 5
Neil gives me the feeling of rooting around in my pocket for something I really need, but not being able to find it.

That explains why Stephen King mocked it in his book about writing.

Yup
Yeah, he's a fucking genius. His Elton John/Saber-Toothed Tiger joke is my favourite joke of all time.
So? Whether he's pretending to be a shit stand up or he is a shit stand up shitty stand up is still the end product.

My favorite stand up comedian ever, no one is classier than Neil
Best opener in history
That closing Smashmouth joke was hilarious. Great set. I saw this tour in Austin and boy, oh boy... he's America's Funnyman.
I saw Neil open for Tenacious D in Detroit and it was one of the funniest damn things I’ve ever seen.
I'm glad someone else thinks as little of Robin Williams stand-up as I do.
he's so different on On Cinema lol,
+Evan Goch identical twins bruh

My favorite moments are when he deals with non-existent hecklers 😂
the david carradine joke is seriously amazing
WWWHHHY
can't I stop watching Niel Hamburger clips????
HUGHLLH
One of my faves of Neil's is
Q: "Why does Eric Clapton close his eyes when playing?"
A: "Because his audience is so ugly"
“What’s the difference between a toddler and a bag of cocaine? Eric Clapton would never let a bag of cocaine fall out of a window…..bleaccch.” Is one of mine.
@@allenfenwick6257OMG!
My god, I love this man.
That entrance is EPIC.
Snailbarf yeah it was.
That's how stars come in
I want to sample that shit. Would be a fire hip hop beat.
I love how he stashes the glasses under his arm
I love that his set-ups are often funnier than the punchline
Cool how he comes out to music. He’s so underrated and I like it that way. “Any blacks?” No one lol
I hope he still keeps the Robin Williams jokes.
He does, saw him the other night in London
In Japan they make human beings national treasures, ... we should do that here.
Yes!
Osamu Dazai
Getting a heavy Tony Clifton vibe here lol
Must be his main inspiration. I mean it's obvious huh.
Tony Clifton is a rude, crude, dude with a bad attitude.
Neil Hamburger is America's Funnyman.
I think they're both equally deplorable and unfunny. We should boo and deride everything either of them says.
It's an obvious inspiration, but I think the Neil Hamburger character is much funnier than Tony.
amazing.
hahah i love him so much haha
Does anyone know the title of the intro / outro music? I really really like it.

Major 7th chords for days ❤
"BOOOO! EEHEHEHEHE!" -dude at 4:15
Homer Simpson
My favorite comic.
It horrifies me when one of the jokes makes me laugh for real
that Jim Morrison joke is never going to leave me
I’ve never thought Morrison was the great poet he’s held to be but I do think he was one of the first to deal with darkness in his lyrics (would have to give the Stones first prize for Paint It Black) - but even so the joke is great. Neil stomps all over sacred territory.
He must be an acquired taste, makes me wanna clear my throat just like his opening & running gag! Tony Clifton can still rest in peace.
OK this is fucking amazing. Have to see this guy live.
this guy's a legend xD
What's the song in the beginning
Terry Callier "You Don't Care"
I fucking LOVE him, he's mad..
I love Neil Hamburger Americas Funnyman
WOW! The best!!!!!! holy
YIKES!
STRONG opening line!!!
To accommodate his dunce cap
It's like a shreds version of a regular comedy show.
A lot of sickies in the audience
I will think of them as I throw up. Into the toilet.
this character is so fucking great.. I pretty cannot even tell its Gregg Turkington lol
His On Cinema personality isn't what he's really like either. He's just really good at comic acting and stage personalities and is super funny and clever
anyone know what song this is at the beginning?
I love a good dunce cap joke.
what on earth is that beautiful song he walked out to?
Where are my gregheads at?
The audiences just aren't what they were in the 60s. Now they're just punks.
I like the Kenny G joke
Nattering knee-bob of negativity holy shit that's some amazing alliteration I'm gonna remember that one for the shitties.
"Nattering Nabob".

Doug Graves it's fucking gold.
"Nabob"
Neil is both of my dads.
Imagine if Neil and Norm macdonald had teamed up.
Neil: What happens, when you're making love to Janet Jackson, and her sex toy is a ball-peen hammer?
Norm: You nail a crackwhore?
They are now
Haven't heard some of these references in jokes in forever.

Get lost

I recognize the voice of Pleaseeasaur introducing him.
A real treat for us hamburgerheads.
I love how he goes off on the guy for being negative immediately after doing a joke about David Carradine's suicide
"Mr. Robin Williams" HAHA!

"....WHAT!? ....WHY!? ...HOW!?" holy shit how does he do it 😂!??
he spilled water on himself after during the bow of the robin williams joke
he spilled water on hiself every time he bowed, it's part of his shtick, the self-deprecation.
That's drain cleaner.
