Apparently he took his young son along while doing this song and quickly got a call from the kids school after. The kid was singing the song and got in trouble. The parents come down and the teacher asks if either of them have heard this vile song. Dennis looks at her and says, heard it? Lady, I wrote it!
A few years ago I went to see Denis Leary promote his book at the synagogue on 6th & I (being from DC, you know where I’m talking about). It was about an hour long live interview and to finish it off he led the crowd in an a cappella version of Asshole. A memorable experience indeed. Joining a congregation in singing Asshole at the top of our lungs inside a Jewish Synagogue... 😂
Fun fact: Denis Leary went to a parent/teacher conference when a teacher told him that his kid was singing in class and didn't know how he learned those words. Leary has to explain that he wrote the song
I do this fan-favorite at Karaoke! I have a northern version of the second verse! "...I fuck around at work and I never do as I'm told! I walk around in the winter-time sayin' HOW ABOUT THIS COLD!!?? 'Cause I'm an asshoooooole!" 😂

Did you notice the breast implant he was squeezing in front of his wife while sitting in the recliner smoking his cigar? No one has mentioned that part in a reaction yet, lol.

This is a classic, Leary was doing his best to be George Carlin of the the 90s and in a lot of ways pulled it off although no one can compare to the GOAT George Carlin. I was singing this a couple years ago and my wife had no clue what it was so I showed her this video. Nice work
My husband introduced me to a whole new world. When I was first dating him he played this song and since the first time I heard it I fell in love with it and have not stopped listening to it since then. This is one of those song that I go back time to time to remember to listen. Thank you husband, lol
I always liked this song. It was very entertaining but somewhat true in a sense because you know that there are some people in this world that share this sentiment.
Lol This is a classic! Thanks for reacting man! Eddie Murphy has one called "BOOGIE IN YOUR BUTT" from one of his comedy albums, should check it out someday.
I remember watching this act on HBO (oh, nearly fawty years ago) and this song cracked me up. There are days when ya wanna play this song full blast in your car, and run with it.
i met dennis leary before. he came into a bar i used to work at in 1997 in boston and he was with cam neely. he actually came in atleast 3 times i had seen him there. i had a couple conversations with him and can honestly say he is complete opposite of asshole. he was a really nice guy. one night while he was there my sister and her friends came in and i took my sister over to meet him. he was with his wife and cam with his wife. they all chatted with her and she got an autograph (back before cell phone days of selfies). just wanted to share that with y’all. if you read all my rambling have a great day!
Checking out some vintage LFR came across this always good to start the day having a laugh with vintage Van back in the day can ya imagine the meltdowns if it came out today so many meltdowns thered be huge puddles of melted snowflakes that complained too much about not feeling safe whatever the hell that even means happy memorial day everyone like to see other people's preffered old school LFR to chill & remember for memorial weekend
I'm pretty sure he is actually talking about himself being an asshole, as he is an asshole joke thief who even stole the whole premise of this song from Louis C.K.
@@tonystair6818 considering how much he's defended himself against these allegations in the past, I highly doubt he's referring to himself lol. I have heard that he's stolen from Louie and basically stole Bill Hicks persona/act. I never paid enough attention to Leary to know or really even care tbh. I never disliked him, but never a favorite either. I do remember when Greg Giraldo schooled him on the show Tough Crowd. I included the link below in case you haven't seen it yet, you'll appreciate it 😁👍 ruclips.net/video/ymltNm4p2VY/видео.html
Lock n load when he does regular flavored coffee is his best.. None of this crap we have today nd he did it in 1997 when flavored coffee just started..
There is no one like Dennis Leary...he...is...THEE...sh*t! Hahaha Listen to the conedy special mentioned below that goes with this song. Man, I needed that. 😂
LMAO I just found this - omg he's fantastic, and YES he has a ton more stuff to check out. He released two comedy specials in the 90s when we were in high school: No Cure for Cancer and Lock and Load, and they made up a huge amount of my sense of humor during my formative years. Here are a couple good ones to check out: *Denis Leary - Rehab, Alcohol & Drugs* *Denis Leary on Coffee [Lock N Load]*
Some people think Denis Leary copies Bill Hick. Bill Hicks is an OG standup. His jokes about the LA riot in 92 are good, I like his anti-intelligent bits are my favorite. Bill Hicks was more of a prophet than a comedian.
I'm gonna sing it to my dad later when he actually answers the phone lol. He's the first person I thought of when I heard this again. Besides myself lol
@@lavayachelsea2638 I mean, they think it’s hilarious now, they really “get” me. To be fair, I was a whole 13 years old when I learned it and grew up in the middle of cornfields, cows, and churches. They never saw me coming. 😂
The days when SNL didn't care about public opinions just how good a joke was for being a joke. No political titles of segregation no labels just honest fun.
This song can empower man. Think about what makes you angry but you still need to laugh.... Sit back and kick your feet up while bouncing your head and laughing. What you will feel if you let it in is joy. Trust me because we all suffer from being an asshole
Yes, and more specifically for this "asshole" bit....he took the whole thing from Louis CK...lol Besides the whole "Cure for Cancer" album being stolen from Bill Hicks. (Although to be fair, Bill Hicks was more of a political humorist than a comedian....wasn't all that funny)
My dad and I listened to this song once. It had us pissing ourselves laughing. Then my mom comes in, she starts listening and she’s laughing right with us.😂😂😂

For some reason my husband feels it necessary to play this song loudly, at least once a week. 😂

I highly recommend watching the special this song comes from, "Dennis Leary: No Cure for Cancer." It's hilarious
Thats mostly bill hicks act. Leary is a joke thief.
I had that CD in my weekly rotation for several years. I still can sing this song from memory...probably could tell half the jokes too. :P
Yes please.
I used to listen to No Cure for Cancer on a bootleg cassette while I was driving in traffic. I may have had a few speeding tickets. 👀👀👀
lock n load was 10 times better.
I actually had that chorus as a ringtone for when my Dad would call me. My Mom thought was funny and appropriate.
I love it! I need to do the same with my dad. Omg that's hilarious. Made my night 🤣
Fucken classic song
please kill me. i'm an asshole...
His "No Cure for Cancer" was a great stand up special. I had it on CD back in the day.

More like Bill Hicks, since he was supposedly using Hicks' material.
Denis Leary is a stand up comedian and actor. He's funny in the movie "Who's The Man" starring Dr. Dre and Ed Lover
I loled him in the movie 'The Ref'
@@tommcfeely8707 "Judgement Night " and " Rescue Me " ....
The Ref was way better
Other Leary gems: 'Merry F'ing Christmas,' 'Life's Gonna Suck When You Grow Up.'

When I was first dating him he played this song and since the first time I heard it I fell in love with it and have not stopped listening to it since then. This is one of those song that I go back time to time to remember to listen. Thank you husband, lol
He had another song from lock and load called "Life's going to suck when you grow up"
I've been posting this all 2020, I miss Denis's sarcasm. Totally 90's
Now try JON LAJOIE: "Everyday normal guy."
Yes! Please do this ☝️
Haha
Personally I think High as Fuck is his true masterpiece :)
I never thought of this!!! It's a must react for every reactor!!!
I haven’t heard that name for like a decade my lord… now I need to go back and listen to him. Good ol Canadian
I forget if its no cure for cancer or lock and load but you have to hear his bit on speciality coffee and mirco brew whiskey
I unironically sing
along to this song
I eat chicken wings
and drink beer all night long
Imanasso
He has many more songs, all funny. Love Denis!!
from what i recall he wanted this song to offend as many people as possible
I always liked this song. It was very entertaining but somewhat true in a sense because you know that there are some people in this world that share this sentiment.
Love Dennis Leary getting to the new generation thanks for the reaction love it

Eddie Murphy has one called "BOOGIE IN YOUR BUTT" from one of his comedy albums, should check it out someday.
Local radio played it every Friday, at 5:30pm on the dot. Do this one LFR.
Gotta love his comedy 😂

AWESOME! I love this song! Thank you!
You ought to check out his short stand up bits from the 90's. Angry Denis was the best. Even got him a part in Demolition Man
Yeah this song is golden! You've got to check out Denis Leary's standup No Cure For Cancer, it's wonderful.
