I was lucky enough to go to one of his shows. He really was the funniest comedian in America. Watching him on you tube brings back that wonderful time about 30 years ago. He certainly will never be forgotten
Yea , everyone was laughing including me but most of what said was true all over , back n the day. I can remember being afraid of taking a pocket knife to school. If anyone was caught or told upon they went to the principal. Our principal had a solid oak desk. No idea the weight but when he told you to bend over and take hold to the top edge, then took his custom made paddle and smacked your bottom end must would pick up that side and inch or so from the floor. I heard another student say he melted the comb in his back pocket. 5 were the norm and 5 were enough. That is untill you got home and had to show and get signed the note to your parents and return the next day. Another round or a second choice that wasn t as painful but more timely. No, seldom was a knife found on a student. Back then it was traditional to settle any issue with knuckles then see which one could lift that desk higher than the other.
Me too! My uncle used to say, "Oleo makes a man sterile". 7 kids later... I'm thinking some of the fancy-name other products would too. I could not even begin to imagine what he would say about the "underwear". 🤪
James while being a gut wrenching comedian also is so right about our “civilized new world. People have become so weak minded it isn’t hard to figure out why James is so funny and he doesn’t have to use the “F” word every other word, to be so
I'm 64 and I remember when I was around 12 and my dad told me that if I ever got arrested and got thrown in jail, he wouldn't get me out. When I asked him why, he said "because you'll be safer there". I know he wasn't kidding.
I come from Australia, there was a story of an Aboriginal child that was up a tree and refused to come down. The police were there and pulled out the gun threatening to shoot him if he didn't come down he just laughed at them but when the father pulled his gun out the kid came down straight away. The policeman ask the child why he wouldn't come down when the police asked he said cos you wouldn't shoot me my father would
I hear you, my dad told me that if I got arrested don't waste your phone call on calling home, you got your dumbass in there, figure out how to get your dumbass out...
I relate to James Gregory. Yes, I do. Healthy food isn't fun to eat. I prefer ham, or a small fried pig as James says. White bread, with tons of strawberry jelly or butter on it, and milk. I tried margarine, which doesn't hold a candle to butter. Went back to it! I relate to James.
Only thing he left out from his daddy’s breakfast was black coffee. Damn BLACK coffee. None of this lightly tented water swirly foam on the top ice cold through a non plastic straw “coffee”
WHAT IS REALLY THE PROBLEM IS THAT PARENTS DON'T HAVE A STRUCTURED MEALTIME WHERE THE WHOLE FAMILY SITS DOWN TO EAT EVERY DAY WITHOUT A DAMN CELLPHONE IN THEIR HANDS
I CANNOT believe some kids these days don't like some real meat and potatoes. It's clear to me that their parents were too lazy to make family meals. Instead they'd throw them a can of spaghetti O's or McDonald's. Blows my mind
Mine too. I lived with him the last 10 months after my mother died. Bacon eggs fried potatoes and toast. Real butter. Supper. Meat potatoes vegetable and salad. I took my dog to his house and as a kid we caught heck for this. He sat there eating and fed the dig off his plate. I wouldn't change those last 10 months for anything.
In my late 20's and early 30's, I ate bacon, eggs and toast or oatmeal and eggs for breakfast. Then I went to work in a grey iron foundry, starting as a laborer and leaving as a coremaker apprentice. After 7 years of grueling, dangerous work, I was lean and muscular. After that I sold life insurance, worked for Orkin, then in a machine job, and finally spent the next 34 years working as a nurse. I did not get fat until I was in my final career, ballooning up from 170 lbs to a whopping 230 lbs. My wife was cooking what the doctors and health promoters advised, using non butter and other processed foods. Now, 9 years after retirement at age 70, I weigh a consistent 188 - 192. I took over the kitchen a year ago, and we are back to eating REAL food, not processed food! I buy 3 lbs of butter at a time! I still eat bacon and eggs for breakfast!
Man, I hear that. My wife laughs at me because if there is yolk left on the plate, or bacon grease, SOP IT UP. Gravy from biscuits and gravy or taters and gravy, you sop it up. My grandpa used to take some white bread, (usually homemade) and dip it into the frying pan before gramma made the gravy. I still do. Lol.
This funny man passed away last Thursday, May 9. 2024. , and I will keep watching his videos here on RUclips ❤, he was 78. years old. Hey. He was making us laugh for a long time. You can rest some now. James.❤
Man, I am 65. If I talked to my Pop the way some of these kids do, I wouldn't be here....lol. Pop would tell you to do something and if you didn't get up right away then there was one warning. Didn't I tell you to clean your room??? I never stuck around for the warning but once. Because there was no other warning. Now, let me get this straight. Pop whupped us. He didn't beat us. There was no slap in the face, he never left no bruises, no closed fist. It was a spanking just hard enough for you to know you got spanked. On Sundays Pop always made breakfast for us. Fried eggs, bacon, toast. Pop liked Grape nuts as far as cereal went and to this day I still eat that. As I got older, more and more of Pop shown through me. Just as my son is a spitting image of me, I am with Pop. Especially through my mannerisms. I really miss the days before computers (I know, I am on my phone, lol), and political correctness. Gregory does a bit on having a front porch. I agree totally. I spent a lot of time on the front porch with my family. Great great times.
This man is right about butter, flour, sugar, pork. These things suddenly became bad. My thinking is follow the money. How did we survive as a nation all this time without the health police dunning us.
Yeah, it's very difficult to even find what they call "whitey tighties" anymore! Or briefs. They have boxer briefs. And I've always worn briefs cuz they hold up my junk. That is what I'm use to & it's hard to even find them anymore. But he is right! It's like today's men are afraid to be men! I don't eat veggies! Parents use to TRY to make me eat veggies. I couldn't do it. I'd sit at the table for hours & still not eat the damn things. I AM CARNIVOROUS!!! Vegetables, in my opinion is what FOOD eats!
I grew up in the seventies my mother bless her would get up before we went to school every morning she would have a smorgasbord of food grits bacon homemade biscuits pancakes scrambled eggs and sometimes we had homemade fig perseveres to have on our biscuit and what's better on pancakes than syrup oh my goodness mollasess jackrabbit that is and a cold glass of milk with real butter on top of those pancakes I wish I could go back to those days oh how I miss it these kids these days have no idea what they are being cheated out of
I enjoyed this. I never saw my dad in his underwear but I did know his belt personally. Something is broken. Who's at fault? Most times I didn't know why. Something is missing. I didn't know why but I knew there were consequences. 5 children lined up and to this day, I don't know who did what, but I do know our backsides got busted. If we wanted breakfast, we ate oatmeal, rice, or cold cereal. If you wanted lunch, better make a sandwich to take with you. There was no not doing your homework. We all knew what the belt was for. We learned the rules early in life.
Sadly, a self sufficient childhood is lost these days. Most people can’t manage to prep for the next day or get little Connor and Gauge up, much less have the kids eat cereal. They run them through fast food. “Modern” family cars/vans smell like feet because of those entitlements. I miss those days when fathers were in the home and mothers were stern too. It was a better world and made better people. All they understand now is their pergola backyard financing and McMansion mortgages. Kids fall somewhere into the fray. SMH.
Back in the 60's I knew my father's belt too, mostly for being disrespectful to him , my mother or any other adult. And he wore one of those thin belts, not one of these 2 inch wide belts.
I remember those “line up…” days well. There were four of us kids and you better not run around in circles to keep the belt from making contact with your hind end.
That line up was hilarious at my house, my sisters were Diana Ross and the Supremes, singing out all the recent transgressions to absolve themselves. Me and my brother were like Perry Mason and Matlock, trying to explain the obvious hypocrisy of my scheming, blackmail artist sisters. Back then they used belts, slapping them in their palms like the Gestapo, alright what happened???People say I lived in an abusive home, I say my parents were angels sent to teach me how to live. 😉😉😉🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Country ham, red-eye gravy, biscuits and scrambled eggs. That's how I rolled when I was growing up. Fried chicken on Sunday, which was great unless the parents had invited the damn preacher!!!
Bacon, eggs ,sausage, toast with butter and jelly or apple butter for breakfast with a glass of milk. No oat milk, no margarine, no turkey meat substitutes.

Cheese grits,fried eggs,sometimes scrambled, bacon or sausage, toast, biscuits on Sunday,and milk. Hot chocolate if it was cold outside.

I worked as an entertainer and I never belittled myself by having to use the f word to get a laugh
Look at his video talking about relatives at Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Easter dinner. It's hilarious. You'll love it.
Love this sweet man!!
Mr. Gregory has lived and learned.
He is right on the money!
I love Larry the Cable Guy but you do top him you are the funniest comedian in the world LOL
As a Brit, .this man is brilliant !

You're preaching to the choir Mr. Gregory. Times and people damn sure ain't what they used to be.
Only thing he left out from his daddy’s breakfast was black coffee. Damn BLACK coffee. None of this lightly tented water swirly foam on the top ice cold through a non plastic straw “coffee”
Yeah, the kind you poured on your battery terminals to get rid of the corrosion. 😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🙄🙄

Absolutely true! A little fear of what our parents threatened kept us in line......for the most part anyway😉
Whatever happened to wait till your father comes home ? he's probably now gone and the woman's collecting single mother benifits
His daddy didn’t spend hours sitting around. People then worked physically and burned it all off.
So true. People today are a bunch of pansies.
Doesn’t sound like his daddy burned it all off lol. But yeah, people back then could/needed to, eat more than us these days for sure.

The thing with kids these days, they never heard their dad zip that belt off his waist and come walking toward you. I did a lot of times, 😅😅
And they always a saying "I'm done telling you" (or something along those lines) and does that "snap" with the belt, a "call to start the whopping"
Absolutely love his humor 😂
