I adore Christopher Titus. As someone who grew up in a very dysfunctional, post-divorce, poverty-stricken family, he always made me feel normal and even "okay". He's never had the full success I personally believe he deserves and has earned, but what he's meant to some of us can never be overstated.
I love when a comic tells a joke that lands flat on its face and instead of back pedalling or changing topic they tell the audience, "Buckle the fck up, it's gonna get worse."
I've been a fan of Titus since I was a teen. His TV show was my introduction to his genius. Then I found Love is Evol, which is still one of the best stand ups I've ever seen. Got to see him live twice and met him once. He will always be my favorite comedian.
I saw Christopher Titus years and years ago and they a few years ago at a local comedy club and he was great! It was a very intimate setting which made the experience more personal I felt akin to him, his dysfunction was very familiar. It was great and even cathartic to laugh at all the crazy. I laughed so hard I even hurt for a few days from all the laughter. He is one of my favorite comedians.
I apricate Mr. Titus' humor, and understand where he came from. My dad was fresh out of the Marine Corp after 20 years, met and married my then 18 year old, high school drop out, mother of a 1 year old. Thus, giving me the only man I knew as 'dad'. He believed in corporal, Marine Corp. style punishment; dressing me down many, many times in my youth. Never called me by my name until I was in my late teen's and he realized that I was a lot bigger, younger, and as aggressive, as he was. I came from a family where you could leave your kids just inside the front door of any store and find us still sitting there. Fear is a great motivator to learn 'rules!'. The man always had time to lean against a fence and talk with the neighbors, so he wasn't all bad. Mom, well, I loved my mom. She did everything she could to make our lives livable. She hated keeping house, loved the outdoors, horses and such, as long as she had someone else to clean up after them. I learned this years later after my sister and I graduated (she moved out, I got married and stayed for no better reason than because I was an ass and had been convinced that I couldn't do anything right, so why bother, eh? Took decades to wake up from that (and that, my friends, is what WOKE means!). Yep, always consider what your life might be like if you walked a mile in all those fine people you avoid, ignore, or dislike, shoes. And if your childhood was rosy? Good for you, I'm glad that was the case. I wouldn't wish my life on anyones... yeah, I said that.
I put a pair of scissors in the electrical outlet once and my dad said that very thing, "I bet you're not going to do that again , are you ". Thanks for that memory.
I had the type of grandma that would sit down and file her nails into razorblades before she would go shopping. "Grandma why are you sharpening your nails?" "Cause we're going shopping me and you.". In the middle of the store and you acted up the top of your skull found out real quick why she sharpened her nails before she went shopping. I swear her goal was to see how much blood she could spill before leaving too much of a mark. Still have a crap load of divots in my skull..... SLOW learner here
@@MountainWoman68 TIL that the guy who played Trashcan Man & was the team leader in PSI Factor & was the principal in Senior Trip was also Max Headroom. Dude's got range.
I didn’t just have a drunk dad I had a drunk family. Aunts uncles cousins even the cops got drunk with em. I can’t believe I dodged the alcoholic gene. I do smoke weed so I guess I’m a weedaholic. I prefer that to showing up drunk to a funeral falling on the casket showing my red panties to everyone.
Funny thing is, I had a 77 Olds. Delta 88 in an ugly puke green with rust all along the bottom that reminded me of spots of dried blood!🤣 UGLY boat with wheels and giant doors and a brown rag top!
Man, oh man! What I love and admire is the way in which he speaks out about the things and situations growing up that if I did not have somewhat the same or a parallel experience it could have been the same; only the names are changed. I KNOW if the dice just just rolled a hair different in my past, I could have been in a situation like he is on stage talking about. It does me good to be able to laugh at the things that made me ashamed about my family growing up. His comedy can open some old wounds for me. It hurts, but reopening them can let them heal cleaner than when I was a kid. So keep on speaking your truth, Christopher Titus. His ability to let us laugh at our pain is part of the mans genius.
I remember watching his show as a kid and it definitely helped me. It’s admiral that he quit the show because the network wanted to control the episodes that he was putting out toward the last season. He wanted to show real stuff that the network did not want to address
My first car was a 1983 Royal Brunswick Oldsmobile with a Delta 88 Engine. It was too hard to learn to drive do to its size. You ever try to learn to drive in a car that you can put a queen folding hide a bed couch that seats 5 inside of a trunk and easily close the lid because you have several feet of clearance with it. Yea I helped a family friend move and we used my car because its trunk was bigger than most trucks and it could fit easily big stuff. You could put 12 adult sized bikes in the trunk and 2 strollers and 3 kid bikes and a kids trike and still had room to fit camping gear and close the lid. It was like driving a land carrier.
Watched his show,comedy, stand up. Saw him. Did a quick meet and greet. Signed my box sets. Man at the show I got the look from him from the back. Because I couldn't stop laughing...
My sister passed away this year October 14th and this just reminds me when me and her first set and watch this special Christopher Titus you gave us some of the best laughs of our lives hahahahaha
If he thought the 77 Oldsmobile Delta 88 was ugly, apparently he never saw my father’s 79 Ford Thunderbird (sky blue). Big as an aircraft carrier and the inside smelled like a smoker’s lounge. It was ugly and smelly. Beat that!
My mom had a 1981 ford thunderbird, pale yellow, me and my friends nicknamed it the thunderchicken, no power steering, tightest brakes and no air conditioning, which sucked in the summer in Texas. Learned how to drive in that car, kinda miss it
LOL, You must be a relative Christopher,,, cause I had 8 Step-fathers, manic depressive, multiple personality, alcoholic mother. Everything you said,,, is everything I felt growing up. Also,,, Tssshhhhhh,,,,, that popping bear sound you make,, Effing perfect.
I always thought Titus looked like Kyle Reese from the original Terminator movie. And they were a lot alike, too. Kyle Reese survived the terminators. Titus survived his family.
EVERY 70's car movie: Playful Drunk Driving.... every 70's family road trip: a 6 pack of schlitz and your dad/grandfather's savarin coffee can in the back seat in case he had to take a leak....
Chris did a show at embry riddle in 2003 or 2004. Loved the show. Smaller crowd than he probably felt with for his popularity at the time. Felt bad because we had a couple aholes in the crowd try to talk back and he had to stop and cut them down a peg or two. Love is presentation and overall performance of life experiences but always felt bad from that show because him and many other standup performers tend to get grief or side bar BS from a couple bad apples in the crowd.
My 71yo MIL came he from visiting her siblings and a week later was telling our neighbor how at the watermelon festival she realized her family is a bunch of alcoholocs and drug addicts. She was the DD at the festival.
why he didnt get bigger than he did ill never know cause his comedy is way better than say like ron white , bill envull, jeff foxworthy , i loved the tv show the dad was fuckin hilarious
I am well my birth mother drowned me to death when I was 2. I don't suffer from infantile amnesia disorder like well all but 5 people in human history so I remember everything including before I was even born floating in the grossest goo to ever exist. Do you have any idea how fucked up it is to remember being born 35 years later? The real reason babies are born crying is because they got shit inside their mouth literally and its disgusting. Then after a few years of child neglect and screwed up birth mother drugged up the entire time and hearing of your siblings getting wrong touched then the monster tried to wrong touch me but I took after my great great grandfather and lets just say you never want to piss off a dwarf for they piss on you. Well he wanted me to touch it so I ripped it off orbs and all then in my range I destroyed a door with his body but his body was still in my way of me getting away so I bashed him repeatedly into another door before throwing him against the trailer wall making a dent then a tree was in my way so I ripped it out and threw it at him barely missing him. Never piss a dwarf off for they gain strength of rage of an emotion I call Bloody Ragey. Then many many other events happened in my life like drowning to death for second time where I got swept out to sea in California then I revived myself and never told my real parents who is the dad who adopted me and his second wife my step mother because I was a 14 year old male so yea you know then redirected lightning threw my body because another extremely rare thing of being double jointed allowed that kind of screwed up power. Lets just say its very hard to kill me to where I stay dead. Drowning failed twice and lightning failed. Then there was that time a bullet went thew my apartment and I saw it flying right in front of my eyes as I dodged it and saw it in slow motion. I am extremely weird and proud of it. I am very strong yet I hate fighting because its not a challenge. A punk once time nearly hit me with his bike so I told him to look where he was going and called him a punk ass then he came back looked me square in the eye and tell him what I called him so I said he is a punk ass and he slammed his fist into my face and broke his hand and all I did was tilt my head back half an inch and with a grin asked "Please Sir Can I Have Another." He died of fear and took a second to return to his body. He road off crying. I didn't even attack him. He just realized he picked a fight with the wrong thing and was scared. He punched my face and broke his hand but no damage to me at all. That scene was a Vegeta scene and probably his most badass scene ever too. I can take a hit while humans cant.
I adore Christopher Titus. As someone who grew up in a very dysfunctional, post-divorce, poverty-stricken family, he always made me feel normal and even "okay". He's never had the full success I personally believe he deserves and has earned, but what he's meant to some of us can never be overstated.
Glad I read the whole thing, but initially was awaiting you to say "he never had the success I had.
- Donald Trump" 😂
@@andrewhunt1328love his comedy but fuck Titus his political beliefs are bs
Amen
Same and then some.
I know I liked Titus too.
I love when a comic tells a joke that lands flat on its face and instead of back pedalling or changing topic they tell the audience, "Buckle the fck up, it's gonna get worse."
Coming from a dysfunctional family, this special holds a special place in my heart.
I like when he said that we have become the majority we are now the normal American family.
His TV show - supremely underrated. Signed my DVD box sets. Awesome dude. Saw him in Portland and Nashville
Saw him in Dayton for my 21st Birthday. Even got to chat with him a bit after the show.
too bad hes a woke political fanook now
@@kluneberg8952 he is part of the 63% dysfunctional majority. His comedy is still funny - regardless of his political views
@@blucaptain does he do comedy? seems like like he only does a political show now
@@kluneberg8952 just saw him last yr at Zanies in Nashville
Best thing my dad ever did for me is when he went out for a pack of smokes. I don't miss him.
The full body shivers he did after saying "One of my uncles is a Mormon"... I live in Utah, that's a full on mood right there. 😆😆😆😆
Titus has always been great. Any artist that can turn that much pain into their art is okay in my book.
I remember watching this on comedy central in the early 2000s. This was the special that made me a fan.
nothing scares me when you drive your drunk dad to your moms parole hearing what else is there! bring it on!
If the timelines had overlapped and allowed it, Titus would have been perfect to cast on Married With Children
I've been a fan of Titus since I was a teen. His TV show was my introduction to his genius. Then I found Love is Evol, which is still one of the best stand ups I've ever seen. Got to see him live twice and met him once. He will always be my favorite comedian.
Great setup and delivery every time ☺️ Titus is a truly great comedian.
I saw Christopher Titus years and years ago and they a few years ago at a local comedy club and he was great! It was a very intimate setting which made the experience more personal
I felt akin to him, his dysfunction was very familiar. It was great and even cathartic to laugh at all the crazy. I laughed so hard I even hurt for a few days from all the laughter. He is one of my favorite comedians.
Damn I can relate to this. Had to stop having beer at the family reunion to stop the fights

It's Marine CORPS.
I put a pair of scissors in the electrical outlet once and my dad said that very thing, "I bet you're not going to do that again , are you ". Thanks for that memory.
My dad said the same thing to my brother after he stuck a butter knife in an outlet. 😂
Prove your pops wrong
@@alastairatcheson1407that's ok , but you're more than welcome to try.
@@Oldconcreteguy lol. Over here we run 230 volts in the sockets. I die if I do it. 😂
Christopher Titus as a comedian is very underrated ! He's one of the best !
I remember this tour and the TV show he did . Both where brilliant.
Don’t know if I am laughing or crying.
Pure therapy. Thank you.
I had the type of grandma that would sit down and file her nails into razorblades before she would go shopping. "Grandma why are you sharpening your nails?" "Cause we're going shopping me and you.".

Ummmmm are you ok from those nails?........
Saw this like 20 years ago. Still think about his different bits on his specials.
Coming from a chaotic broken home I totally relate to chris titus espiecally his dad..miss you dad ❤
He reminds me of a cross between Jim Carey and the guy that played trash man in the original The Stand tv show
Matt Frewer/Max Headroom. Yeah, definite resemblance.
@@MountainWoman68 TIL that the guy who played Trashcan Man & was the team leader in PSI Factor & was the principal in Senior Trip was also Max Headroom. Dude's got range.

... You say "Red Panties"?
There is a story attached to that last sentence isn't there?
💜💗💜❄️💜💗💜
Always great Laughs.
💜💗 Thanks 💗💜
Coming from a dysfunctional family. I can honestly say he speaks truth.
Stacy Keech was awesome
As his dad on the show
Funny thing is, I had a 77 Olds. Delta 88 in an ugly puke green with rust all along the bottom that reminded me of spots of dried blood!🤣 UGLY boat with wheels and giant doors and a brown rag top!

Love this bit. Such great material.
Me too 🙃
imo this is probably his best special.
Some of the best memories I have with my dad were watching Titus and Christopher’s stand up
The episode with papa Titus in the white area was my favorite of his series. Definitely underrated as a whole
And quit bein' a wussy!
The life this man must have lived...
His show was great

WE NEED a new TITUS special on netflix!!!
80% Bill Burr, 20% Jim Carrey.
You hit
The nail
On the head❤
%100 as current, or in Burr's case, even earlier. But, not as well-known for some reason.

@04:44 Normal people have not cracked yet and THAT makes them unpredictable. Scary.
Similar childhood,everything tracks. He hit the nail on the head,”be scared of normal people”.
Oh man back when Comedy Central was good. Late night Uncensored Comedy stand up during my formative years was crucial 😂
I miss this Titus. I respect his views and understand why he shifted, but still, I miss this Titus
No, wait, wait....sooo good
My dad loved this guy when we were younger because my family is full of mental cases.
Al Bundy
Archie Bunker
Fred Sanford
Ken Titus
Best tv dads ever.
He is phenomenal.
I miss his show. I have the dvd collection still
I've seen this before, but only now have noticed the background set. Fucking fantastic.
I forgot how good CT is at standup.
LOL, You must be a relative Christopher,,, cause I had 8 Step-fathers, manic depressive, multiple personality, alcoholic mother.
Everything you said,,, is everything I felt growing up.
Also,,, Tssshhhhhh,,,,, that popping bear sound you make,, Effing perfect.
Good for Malcom in the middle
Delta 88 is legendary now. It's the car from the Evil Dead movies.
Always start with a positive attitude, way ta go Chris.💜😈
I always thought Titus looked like Kyle Reese from the original Terminator movie. And they were a lot alike, too.
Kyle Reese survived the terminators.
Titus survived his family.
how i meet titus. love it perfect, still holds
Dont care for his politics, but titus is one of the best comedians out there.
I just guessed "A bear?" with every picture.
That's crazy. *MY* first car was a 1977 Delta 88 Oldsmobile!
EVERY 70's car movie: Playful Drunk Driving.... every 70's family road trip: a 6 pack of schlitz and your dad/grandfather's savarin coffee can in the back seat in case he had to take a leak....
Show me a FUNCTIONAL family !!
Better therapy for most people than comedy...truth serum
Man Bill Burr is a deep method actor..

Mine was a two time communist killing Vietnam veteran. Threw me out on the street after I came hope from Iraq war.
I realy miss the days when comedians where allowed to be comedians.
I loved the show. The comedy is unfortunately very relatable, lol.
