@@Gloth_Sang He wrote about it in his first book-Digging up Mother, and also I think he mentioned it on one of his podcasts as well a Stern show episode
@@jartstopsign I thought he got the gig based on his ability to repeat Dice's material but then wrote his own jokes before the show. I could be wrong though, it wouldn't be the only book I've read twice and still don't remember correctly haha.
Doug Stanhope's substance abuse makes perfect sense now, if my inner self was Peter Griffin with a Joe Dirt haircut I'd wake up and get drunk everyday too.
I tell younger people this all the time....90-91 and even into 92 were like pop culture was going through some sort of awkward adolescent stage. (the Vanilla Ice/Michael Bolton years) I was in 8th grade/freshman year at the time. I fit right in!
I kinda feel like he never changed, in a good way. He's young here, so his material is still budding, and the ravages of time have yet to set upon his countenance. Yes I am high while typing this.
took him a moment to get settled in, even had to restart a line to keep his place... but once he let loose, and saw the crowd enjoyed his dark humor.... he killed it.
No problem. Im gonna be adding a lot more early clips of comedians that arent on here. Im posting one here or there when i have time now. Its a lot of shows to edit down to just one 8 minute set but keep checking back
What an amazing gem of a find. Huge Stanhope fan here. Have seen him perform 8 times now. The guy is a legend as far as I'm concerned. That mullet is nothing short of glorious.
I didn’t know Doug was such a fan of Billy Ray Cyrus, but that hair is a perfect match. I’m sure he’s pretty embarrassed now about it. I love Doug and have seen him live twice and met him both times. It was awesome.
Ha. About him being embarrassed, there was somewhere he mentioned "the guy who keeps uploading his fuckin first tv appearance" ...since I put this up someone else uploaded the same clip for some reason, but I take pride in knowing I'm the guy that put it up (twice) for the world to enjoy.
There's a short series of clips on the UK DVD release of Deadbeat Hero called Behind the Mullet that shows a bit from this. I've always wanted to know the context of it.
That's the most ambitious mullet I've ever seen and I grew up in the 80s and 90s.
That shit IS crazy ! :D
Ahh but the 90s in México was quite another thing my brother 🤣😭
Yeah and he had to cut it all off before he could find out what stinkless p*ssy is.
@@MrIsaiahmedina que loco hombre
My friend, you haven't seen Australian men in the 2020s. It's worse than Australian men in the 1980s.
Blessed is the one who put this video on the internet.
seeing Stanhope like this is surreal as hell
Too unreal.
It sure is!
I wouldn't believe anyone could have a mullet like. Surreal mullet.
insanely surreal
i can't get over the accent.
Cigarettes and cynicism took the Peter Griffin straight out of his voice.
They must have really grinded his gears
Lmao
@@mentalmickey1459 Giggity
Holy shit! If I didn’t read this comment I would’ve thought this was a bit or something
@@kingrick5494 Worchester Mass
Jesus, I've heard Doug talk about him having a mullet before, I had no idea it was such glorious one damn ahaha, that thing is big.
It’s luxurious.
Majestic
It made Billy Ray Cyrus seethe.
Meanwhile he's shitting on mohawks😂
It looks like a ladder for base jumping ferrets
Good god, hardcore alcoholism was healthy for this man
this is the best thing Ive read in a long while
He lost at least 50 pounds of mullet 🤣🤣
Hahahaha fucked up but true
He’s Doug Stanhope, and that’s why he drinks.
I love finding stanhope stuff i havent seen before
That's why I added this one. I plan on adding a lot of stuff of comedians in their early days from my collection.
@@shig27frag keep em coming im your 1st subscriber ;D
@@rokuthedog Ha. Wow! I didn't even know I was subscribe-able. OK. Adding one in a few minutes.
@@shig27frag got your #2 right here! Keep em coming! It's awesome seeing where the masters started out.
Check out California roll if you haven't already.
He looked like a cover of an old romance novel, but without the muscles.
😂😂😂 Fabio before his gym membership
This was fucking gold haha
Seeing Billy Ray Cryus' little sister get up on stage and crush like this is inspiring af
HA HA HA HA....Yeah!
Hilarious! Well done 👏🏻
This is crazy. Stanhope wearing a tie unironically. And if you listen he's doing Massachusetts Dice Clay.
Didn't he say that his first few times doing standup all he did was repeat Dice's act? So I guess that makes sense
@@Gloth_Sang He wrote about it in his first book-Digging up Mother, and also I think he mentioned it on one of his podcasts as well a Stern show episode
Massachusetts Dice Clay... That is poetry.
@@jartstopsign Correct

Yes!!
fantastic
That's the mullet man. Business in the front, party in the back.
Brilliant response
HAHAHAHA
He seemed sober in that video. So unprofessional by his current standards.
Doubtful, he tripped over a few words 🤣🤣
Hey Doug, pour some funny down your head!
@@phaedrussmith1949 Get sober. But not today, we got tickets for the late show
Sometimes I forget how awkward the early 1990s were.
They were odd because it was like the 80s spilling over until about 93
I tell younger people this all the time....90-91 and even into 92 were like pop culture was going through some sort of awkward adolescent stage. (the Vanilla Ice/Michael Bolton years) I was in 8th grade/freshman year at the time. I fit right in!
Grunge and House music weren't awkward
@@malcolmxxx86 No.. it got rid of fake plastic superficial music. Music started to be takin seriously once the 80s cheese rock bands were killed off.
@@marsoblivi0n945 what about all the cheap superficial 70s music. Every decade has it
So happy to see this one on RUclips, hair making him look like Doug The Bounty Hunter
🤣🤣
👊
Doug Gets-His-Booty-Pounded
It's crazy how much better he got
After 30 years? Should be better, Lady.
And how soft that room was
It is different, not better by default :s
not by default, it's better because it just is.@@stefanmore5454
2:30 Doug slowly traded the mullet for a shiny red mohawk himself... Time makes fools of us all. lol
If Stanhope regrows that magnificent waterfall down his back he would live a thousand years
The man, the Legend. You can see the Doug we know & love just waiting to come out.
I kinda feel like he never changed, in a good way. He's young here, so his material is still budding, and the ravages of time have yet to set upon his countenance. Yes I am high while typing this.
Look at that fucking mullet... god damn, Stanhope. Fucking epic.
the Kentucky waterfall
took him a moment to get settled in, even had to restart a line to keep his place... but once he let loose, and saw the crowd enjoyed his dark humor.... he killed it.
gahd damn at that beautiful kentucky waterfall draped over his back, lol
He is one "ok, babe" from doing Dennis Miller.
I thought the same thing. Lol. I looked to see if Dennis was from Worchester but no. He is from Pittsburgh. Lol.
WOW MAN! I clicked on this video just because I saw the great Smokey Robinson. That was a hell of a thing to have Motown royalty at the improv.
Wowwww. That Accent! !!
he sounds like a parody of himself, or of early stand-up... he sounds like a Simpsons character. amazing
You ever look at an older audience from 30 years ago and think "I'm likely listening to dead people's laugher light now"
He sounds like Norton from The Honeymooners.
Business at the front and party at the back ! That’s one beauty of a mullet.
That thing is more David Bowie in the front, lion in the back
Doug and his Massachusetts mudflap
😂😂
Stanhope was superb even back then, WOW! Cool how Smokie improvised, an absolute LEGEND🎙🎤🎶 & Doug becoming one from decades back.
He was a good looking guy. Super cool to see him this early.
To have that confidence with that hair is the most impressive part
A year before he started fronting T00L. Looks good!
30 years later and he has a red mohawk of his own.
that hair makes me wanna gallop into the sunset
The mullet to be king of all mullets. Theo needs to take some tips from this absolute fucking legend
Powerful Mullet
I've seen Doug's mullet several times over many years, but its magnificence impresses every time. Especially the party half.
He lives on my street
Great video!! Thanks for this!!
No problem. Im gonna be adding a lot more early clips of comedians that arent on here. Im posting one here or there when i have time now. Its a lot of shows to edit down to just one 8 minute set but keep checking back
What an amazing gem of a find. Huge Stanhope fan here. Have seen him perform 8 times now. The guy is a legend as far as I'm concerned.
That mullet is nothing short of glorious.
Sharp and self-deprecating even in 92. It’s no wonder Stanhope became one of the greats.
absolutely brilliant as always - ONE OF THE GREATEST MULLETS OF ALL TIME - THE 80's WAS SUCH A STRONG DECADE IT CARRIED INTO THE 90s FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS
Can hear the Dice-Clay influence, which Stanhope probably cringes at now. But he's so talented, man.
Theo von is jealous of that hair right there
Theo von ____ what?
That's the best goddamn mullet I've ever seen
What a beautiful young man 😍
His first debut n hes still the stanhope ive come to know and love… plus the huge mane. Guy is unreal.
THANXXX SO MUCH!!!
That mullet is fire 🔥
Liked before watching just to even know this exists--BLORT!
"She had a PhD in BLORT!"
That mullet is glorious!
We NEED!!! a movie about him.
Wow, that's an amazing mullet!! Doug has come so far in many ways from that young man. One of the best stand up comedians ever in my opinion ✌
So great to see him this young so long ago and looking the way he did and killing the audience even then. Great set they loved him.
Stanhope has been killing for so long
that voice.....
I didn’t know Doug was such a fan of Billy Ray Cyrus, but that hair is a perfect match.
I’m sure he’s pretty embarrassed now about it. I love Doug and have seen him live twice and met him both times. It was awesome.
Ha. About him being embarrassed, there was somewhere he mentioned "the guy who keeps uploading his fuckin first tv appearance" ...since I put this up someone else uploaded the same clip for some reason, but I take pride in knowing I'm the guy that put it up (twice) for the world to enjoy.
Wow... times have changed.
This is so chill
Wow, Christiano Ronaldo really is a man of many talents!
@Google is Facism How can you go looking for a comedy video and still not recognise a joke?!
@Google is Facism Yes, I know who he is... That the point of the jok.... /sigh
Look, if I have to explain the joke it's no longer funny...
@Google is Facism You know what, don't worry about it. Let's just forget that this ever happened and get on with our lives, eh? ;)
From little acorns mighty oaks do grow
What a rare treat! He had the power even way back than wow!
Amazing content.
The duct tape line made me chuckle. Baby Doug with his mullet came through at the close.
This is gold!
WOW! That voice and that mullet!
The mullet was strong with this one
The mullet is a thing of beauty.
Dude, Stanhope needs to bring back those lushes locks.
Mulled to perfection.
That is one glorious Kentucky Waterfall.
Classic Doug with a classic mullet!
Dear GOD that mullet is GLORIOUS!
That mullet should be tagged and tracked by Marlin Perkins.
Is that Smokey Robinson introducing him
Rocking the super mullet
wow. ive never seen him like this. imma save this.to my comedy colliction
EPIC MULLET!!!
Omg that mullet. Priceless
Doug doing his best Dice here
That was my thought. He did of course first try stand up after co workers liked his Dice impressions
Sounds more like Peter Griffin than Dice. lol
Wow that is the greatest mullet I have ever seen in all the realm of stand up comedy.
Stanhope out here sounding like Peter Griffin
So, Doug was the cute guy with the luscious mullet then:) who’d have thought it:)
As held back as youll ever see Doug
couldn't be more leashed
There's a short series of clips on the UK DVD release of Deadbeat Hero called Behind the Mullet that shows a bit from this. I've always wanted to know the context of it.
That mullet is breathtaking......
i'm so glad I didn't see him till he was older...
WOW, that smooth baby voice, damn!!!
I'm a big fan, I'll even watch sober Doug as long as I know he's the warmup act for drunk Doug.
That's the gnarliest mullet I've ever seen in this life or any past one, I'm certain.
Wish I could unsee this
We grow and we develop. One of the smartest/funniest comedic minds of our generation had to figure it out.
Behind that voice I can hear his substance. Master.
Awesome Mullet there Douggy. Even then his importance to the profession of comedy shone through, in hindsight...PeaceOrElse
This got recommended after watching some norm today. I never thought I would say this but, thanks RUclips!
Wow - I love the never ending mullet! Xxx
That mullet could have it's own show!
Now that is one gorgeous mane!
No filter. THE BEST
I turned the volume down and watched through a crack between my fingers.
