That is the most 90s outfit I've ever seen. It hits all those mid 90s marks. Flannel shirt, jeans with a rip in them, hair like George Costanza. Just the works.
Patricio Fernandez But it is his voice. He uses it on Mr. show. If you watch the skits, he seems to have a fake arm, and that his real arm is up his shirt, as he has to clutch his throat to make the voice.
Shiawasenaneko So, what you are saying is he is not funny, will never make any real money, and is incapable of selling out an arena anywhere in this Country? Btw, what is he doing NOW? This was filmed in the 90’s and he could only do 30 minutes then.
@@cjohnson7251 This was only 30 minutes because it was a HBO special, you adorable little special-needs student. His comedy tours feature shows where he is on stage for 80-90 minutes. I will patiently await your apology to David Cross for you being an idiot about his abilities. Fucking dumbass.
The best thing about looking old when you're young is that the expectations aren't there.. people have already cast you out as a has been.. even before you were a never was..
+higler420 No, it is him. He did an interview about this voice, how when he clutches his throat, that's how it comes out. He did the same for a character (a black preacher?) on Mr. Show with Bob and David.
I was living in S.F. back then. Used to see the Cramps there (at the Filmore) every Halloween. Hey David, Grunge called and it wants it's clothes back- uggh!
2023 and this set is still working it. Very fresh even 27 years later.
David Cross's black impression should have a conversation with Dave Chappelle's white guy impression.
😹
That’s so racist lol 😆
@@matteoferrari33 how so?
@@N11Ckk123472because he said "black"... So must be racist. 🤦🏼♂️
I didn't know I couldn't do that

My sense of style must be completely 90s then. I thought I was just lazy😂
What's fricked up is I am legit wearing this rn smh lol
That look was never in.
@@deusfilius7 seems to have been
That was my bar crawl outfit.
There's a man inside me, only when he is out, then I will walk free of pain.
I'm afraid I just blew myself
@@elijahwerling4668 4r5
That's how I smoke weed actually 😂
That was the best impression of a black dude that I ever heard
I loved you in those Jackie Chan films.
Dude he was playing back from a tape recorder

No it just goes out of sync, when you continue watching it's the same.
Chris Turnier I couldn’t believe it was him
David Cross comes out with a southern accent. 5 stars. love this guy. He is the polar opposite of the 'blue collar comedy tour' .
Not crazy about him, self hating southerner he
@@terrymalloy69 He's not a "self-hating" southerner. He's an idiot-hating southerner.

"It's been one year since I've been completely sober" *sips beer*
How is this still so relevant after 24 years.
The Goodpussy bit is one of my favorites of his, really showcases his humor and talent.
God bless the smacked out, Nirvana lovin', grunge look of my youth
I've seen this so many times but I didn't realize it was from 1996. He was so angry even back then...
I remember watching these at my friends house( I didn't have hbo), good times, good comedy
There's no 'I' in Teamocil, at least not where you'd think.
This set is almost 20 years old and still hilarious. Dude was ahead of his time.
I don't get it?
Sgt. Barnes arrested development joke. You should watch it; it’s the funniest show of all time and David Cross is in it.
don't tell anyone but personally I think it's aged better than a lot of the early Mr. Show stuff :X
Jack Morrison yeah same
@@bobthechimp5431 *Seasons 1-3. Should never have been revived - some funny moments but a pale shadow of the glory of the original.
wow, that opening is more relevant today than ever
I would watch these all the time as a kid in the 90s.
Yeah man that was epic staying up and watching the pride is back on hbo
@@jessgarza88 ABBADADICCI, ABBADADUCCI
I miss ripped jeans and flannel. The most comfortable fashion ever.
+Kerry P the 90's was a great time haha
He dresses like a bum
Kerry P I don't know if you noticed, but they're back.
Shit is in style again
Fuck yeah its back
Amazing that nearly 30 years later and this entire special could have been made today. Pretty sad.
That minimum wage bit may be my favorite.
David cross in his sartorial splendor. It's not only funny it's also the only chance I'll ever get to use that collocation.
This guy makes me LOSE IT with laughter. David Cross is a rare comedic talent.
So underrated! I try telling people about him all the time, they are fucking clueless.
Run Ronnie run it's one of my favorite movies him and Bob did a bang-up job!
Old him was great, new him feels like he's just having a manic depressive episode, not really jokes, just rants like a depressed alcoholic friend.
This guy is fucking golden.
MAEBY WE'RE HAVING A FAMILY MEETING!
He is a nerd stoner with a hilarious sense of humour. I just wanna hang out with this guy.
David Cross really has a great, intellectual sense of humor and hilarious delivery. Underrated talent.
I love the music that played during the end credits. The whacky whistle let's you know that comedy was here.
I can only imagine how hard he rolled his eyes when he heard that
The best thing about looking old when you're young is that the expectations aren't there.. people have already cast you out as a has been.. even before you were a never was..
The voice change at 17:47 is incredible :)
Man, he was as funny then as he is today.
What about now
14:58 ROFLMAO!!!!!! Puts me in tears every time since 2001
roflmao
I come back for that specifically lmfao
Still one of my all time favorites.
1996, I was in 6th grade when this came out. I remember watching this on HBO.
Same
I had this open in the background and when he did the impression of a black guy I had to check the video because I thought someone else was on stage.
100% the same haha.
+Nybelle Caruso It's clearly not him if you watch it
+higler420 No, it is him. He did an interview about this voice, how when he clutches his throat, that's how it comes out. He did the same for a character (a black preacher?) on Mr. Show with Bob and David.
+clownnookie I'll have to grab my Mr. Show dvd's and find that skit!
higler420 I think he revealed his throat-grabbing secret on Conan or Jimmy Kimmel.
jesus christ...that intro is _so_ 90s o_O
that intro applies to anytime in history. Humans being stupid..... believing in fairy tale fuck nuttery.
@420 Friendly I think they meant the standup-bass jazz music intro. Not the first thing David Cross said.
How appropriate that something from the '90s appears to be from the '90s. It may as well be an episode of the Twilight Zone!
classic! thank you for uploading this! i remember this fondly!
His effeminate voice is so good. Love that. And then the "Don Spears" voice...🤣
Holy shit, that's a real book.
Still hysterical
What a 2024 topically accurate set
Comedy legend David Cross. Thank you.
The ending with the drummer impression! Fuck! 😂
Thank you for uploading this.
I’d like to remember the comedy of the 90s tomorrow today.
His outfit is so 90s it's not even funny.
Guess he was going for the highschool student look
"it's not even funny" itself a 90s saying
@@kitcoffey7194 great observation…NOT!
I'm so glad the Arsenio Hall barking went out of style.
You have to watch their skit "Jeepers Creepers" from Mr. Show.... it is the most 90's thing you will ever see ever.
So unpredictable!! And talented!
How can one man be so pronouncedly funny? The answer, methinks is 'genius'.
I ducking love,Dave cross... His new stuff is really funny .....
that. book. is. real.
Hahaha
I can still recite most of ‘Shut Up You Fucking Baby.’
I remember that episode on the Arsenio Hall show!
Way ahead of its time
I was kinda 2 years old at that year and only now I watch this.
This man listened to a lot of gil Scott heron. I know that cadence anywhere
10:15 ...best impression of someone hitting a bong!
David cross is my hero
When they do the Don Knott’s biopic..THIS DUDE!!!!!
Joe Rogan mentioned Cross in a podcast. This is the first time hearing his stand up, and it was pretty funny. Original.
Well, yeah lol he wrote it, and it's an original! Dane Cook stole a lot from him
Who is Joe rogan
@@josephhertzberg2734I actually don’t know who joe rogan is. I posted that comment 10 years ago
See the long descent into cutoffs, it begins with that hole
Still the best.
He's drinking an anchorsteam brew!
That ending was phenominal
Where’s the David cross Netflix special
he made the comb-over look good!!!
He… doesn’t have a comb over?
This video is nearly 20 years old, but the only way you'd know this is because his jeans are ripped.
DC in 96 as a black guy..20 years later he’s the white guy voice in Sorry To Bother You. Still hilarious. Roses for the Cross
one of the best comedians..plus he never ages
holds up. more true today!
Put a finger down When you’re last name is cross and you ask your dad if he’s a family member and said yes
*puts a finger down*
It means analyst-therapist. It's a good thing.
Hell yeah, just like that titannica song!
Mrs. featherbottom is my hero
"Thank you, San Ferghhmghm"
McDonald's joke still hella relevant
Suscribed because of your passive menis!
Yes they were
He's in George Carlin's class.
@Mike Knight No, he wasn't. He blazed a trail for the people to come after him and call him a dinosaur.
I think I found my kind lost bald brother in arms. lol. funny as shit
THANK YOU SAN FRRHRHHRR.....
so basically he's been bald for 30 years?
I'm not discrediting his substance.. the show was brilliant. but I'm curious about male pattern baldness
5:12 Ahhh yes, the 1990s, back in the day when the hydrant for a comedian was a beer on a stool..
14:00 - 15:20 is exactly where Dane Cook got some inspiration. This guy influenced so many more people than he gets credit for
As trendy today in 2022 as it was in 1996.
It’s scares me that this intro is now happening in real life
"Rachel" is an old band me and an old date used to listen to. Didn't think about how it appeared when I made the username.
Walks right out the car door! LOL!
I was living in S.F. back then. Used to see the Cramps there (at the Filmore) every Halloween. Hey David, Grunge called and it wants it's clothes back- uggh!
He does more of that drumming on Mr Show for the band Indomitable Spirit.
He is living in 2019 with the rip jeans .....way ahead of his fashion
Ripped jeans are a 90s thing, kid.
lol elephant pissing on everybody
tobias are the best
David Cross Vs Larry The Cable Guy
It's already happened David Cross wrote him an open letter
***** David Cross jokes unlike larry's, make me ACTUALLY think lol.
@@J3r155 brilliant and hilarious
His bit about the circus elephant reminded me of how completely horrible humans are
He's goot.
Amazing when he reads from the book, he holds his hand to his throat and does a trick. That's performance!
he sounds like Gil Scott Heron
It took ten years, but, yeah, I hear it.
Me to man
10:18 - "Lucy in the Sky with Scalpels..."
came here from GG reddit
i was thinking that
