So smart. At 24:30 Doug start to talks about the “euphemism treadmill.” It’s such a great take on how pop culture & the words we use get aggregated & how that effects how we speak. Real smart comedy from an interesting prospective.
C.I.A mental health bit on Bisby might just be the truest and funniest bit of all time. Absolutely spot on and Gabby getting her grape 🍇 squeezed might just be the biggest piece of irony pie ever served for cutting money to mental health. Don't want to help the mentally challenged ppl..

This man is a national treasure! Doug needs to be recognized as one of the greats not because he's been in in the comedy game for decades, but because his shit is top shelf. I've yet to find any routine by Doug to be subpar.
Ah yes because no one brings him up in the conversation of the greats... This is only the second special of his I've seen after finally taking the plunge but even I, a retarded nobody, have heard his name get brought up for as long as I can remember when that convo came up.
That beheading video bit is the first time I’ve ever heard a comedian say anything that actually pissed me off. I’m one of those people that is constantly ripping on people for getting offended and that one got under my skin and pissed me off. Weird.
@@michaelvaughn-walker5783 Joe Rogan just has a sort of mob mentality about comedy. Don't know if you were a fan of Ope & Ant, but listeners will remember he had this beef with Carlos Mencia that sort of brought out the worst in him in this regard... He's on such vastly different platforms in such vastly different roles, that he pretty much functions more as a hype-man than an arbiter of good comedy (or common sense, honestly). He did have a point though, people who steal jokes seem to just be allowed to get away with it, and people with a public presence should be encouraged to point it out when it occurs. Nobody else seems to do anything about it. Awesome and original set by Stanhope, as usual.
Screw Joe Rogan. His lies and conspiracy theories are FINALLY catching up with him. Sadly, he already got his $millions. He doesn't care. He was always an ass. Life seems to reward the a-holes.
Mentally Challenged vs Mentally handicapped is my favorite comedy bit. I moved to Arizona last year and haven’t gotten my very low priority yet extremely necessary mood pills. Any Jared’s in this house?
Doug will be one the sickest but BEST COMICS IN THE WORLD. I saw him in Cincinnati several years ago, crushed it and glad I did se him. Not sure if you'll ever be back. Glad you stopped by.
True. Stanhope's brilliance extends to his wardrobe. He carefully cultivates his image in that he seeks a specific look for his standup clothes: he said he scours Goodwills seeking to complete the suits he adds to his wardrobe. The bit is (naturally) hilarious but I do NOT recall where I heard it.
Poverty? When cell phones 1st came out i had one the size of a brick with an antenna you pulled out. Combined with a sport coat and a pair of teardrop shade girls would come right up, flirting, offering rides i didn't need, and I wasn't even NEAR a bar!😅
The camp 1 camp 2 gig really highlights his storytelling ability. The way he constructs a theme and makes you think around it is unprecedented outside of very few comedians. He also works towards the punchline phenomenally well when you're not expecting it by easing you into a conclusion with his slow and sloppy delivery.
Him never blowing up because he's to raw and refuses to change any of it makes me respect him that much more. He could be up there with Carlin, Burr and Jeffries but his sticks to his guns and thus allows me to be informed about how he helped his mom killing herself 😊❤
I learned about Doug by listening Bill Burr monday morning podcast. Doug was a guest in one of the episodes. I can see where BB gets some of his inspiration, this is golden.
It's a human "litmus test": provided the individual is NOT gaslighting you/seeking to ingratiate themselves with you by FEIGNING their INTEREST in ANY subject which is a PASSION for you...but a love of Stanhope REQUIRES a fucked up sense of humour AND knowledge of his work, which means it's easy to trip someone FAKING INTEREST as subtle references will sail over their heads.

Legendary: I'm decidedly NOT COOL, but whenever someone TRULY LOVES Stanhope...THEY are ~ as you said ~ VERY COOL guys or girls/men or women.

There actually was a channel that played authentic ISIS and Zetas snuff stuff and fatal street accidents from around the globe. True Gore, I think it was. Real snuff. Horrifying and totally compelling. I miss it.
This dude is so oldschool, if u didn't know him before: shame on you! He's the chain-smoking brother of Carlin, just pure candor no matter the outcome. No place for honesty anymore, everyone just starts crying immediately coz their feelings got hurt and whatever else 30+ yo. babies do for a living...
This guy should ask Brendan Schaub or Bert Kreischer for some help writing funny jokes. Either one of those legends will be able to help this new lad get used to not having to use a laugh track in his stand up to make it seem like the audience laughed. I was there that night, there wasn't even anyone in the crowd for the taping, we all had to leave the auditorium so they could put cardboard cutouts into the seats. We all got to watch the show on TV screens and absolutely no one was laughing, actually that's a lie he did get a few real laughs, but no where near the amount in this laugh track.
Haha ya Kno what's funny, i didn't even know Joe Rogan did comedy until I was looking for more Stanhope stuff on RUclips and that's where I found an episode of Joe Rogans podcast with Doug Stanhope and joey Diaz and that's when I found out the fear factor guy did comedy and had a podcast. Funny how that works lol
He is impersonating Señor Wences, a ventriloquist who regularly performed on the Ed Sullivan show. He would ask his hand puppet, Johnny, " 's'alright?" then Johnny would confirm, " 's'alright."
I see him almost break a couple times just barely holding in tears and holding it together. Never noticed that before. Then I noticed what was in his hand. A fucking coffee cup. 👎🏻😔 no pinche bueno
Clearly not listening to the point. They're paradise in comparison to thailand or some shit. And they should be terrible places imo. Shouldnt have a nice easy life if you kill someone
@@ofrenic Perhaps crime rates are especially high due to other societal factors in spite of high incarceration rates. Or perhaps it isn't a (good) deterrent, after all. Would that be due to prisons being too tough or not tough enough? How would you tell? Perhaps the intensity of the punishment is secondary, and more focus should be drawn towards rehabilitative measures instead. The idea that prison _should be a punishment_ is at best incomplete. It should ALSO be a punishment (not for the sake of just punishing people) as well as a means of restoration dependent on justice. If nothing else, then at least try to minimize re-offenders, and I don't mean by treating them as animals or keeping them in prison forever.
Doug is the best of the best. The only reason he isn't a massive mainstream success like.. oh let's say.. Kevin Hart... is because he lives in a period where only a select few are intelligent enough to get his references and absorb at the rate he is throwing, while the dullard majority of the population hoist Hart onto their shoulders because he said a thing a funny way.
@@themole24 well some of psychosis incidents were triggered by weed and they get better with meds and can be cured. But there are people who never used cannabis and they have schizophrenia or bipolar(like myself) and the thing is these kind of people never will get cured. They will need to take meds for the rest of their lives it's more like a treatment than a cure for us.

His mental illness bit is one of my favourite bits of all time. It’s so perfectly constructed and performed.
The best live show I've ever been to. This guy is a fkn legend
One of the best sets ever performed
This is so inspiring, I'm gonna hurry home after work to Stanhope my drain
one of his best. sorry but hes funnier then carlin, that says alot well... about me really, I'm a type II crazy.
Lmao no he’s not

Thanks for the reupload, Doug's been my favorite comedian for a longgg time. No one else compares in my opinion, his style is amazing.
No one...
Check out Frankie Boyle he like Doug is savagely funny too.
Fantastic special. On of my favorites from Doug.
This man is a national treasure! Doug needs to be recognized as one of the greats not because he's been in in the comedy game for decades, but because his shit is top shelf. I've yet to find any routine by Doug to be subpar.
True!
He kinda ruined most other comedians for me...definitely shortened my list of comedians I thought were "good".
I submit Carlin to you, as i older and more linked to his time kind off Doug. Or Bill ;
Burr, as a kind of diet coke Doig. But thats basicly it.
Whatever
Ah yes because no one brings him up in the conversation of the greats... This is only the second special of his I've seen after finally taking the plunge but even I, a retarded nobody, have heard his name get brought up for as long as I can remember when that convo came up.
Seen this man live 4 times, once in my home town and at the bar afterwards. Class act and my favorite comic, and a cool dude.
That beheading video bit is the first time I’ve ever heard a comedian say anything that actually pissed me off. I’m one of those people that is constantly ripping on people for getting offended and that one got under my skin and pissed me off. Weird.
It's okay, the joke isn't for you - at least you're ahead of the curve and not trashing him over it :)
I heard Joe Rogan namedrop him as one of the best stand-ups ever. Glad i checked him out!
Well he also says Chris D’elia and Ali Wong are “killers” so I wouldn’t trust his taste

Every second of this is gold. Doug is my spirit animal. I still think his version of ‘The Aristocrats’ is the pinnacle of comedy.
He was in "The Aristocrats"?
I couldn't get past Gilbert's rendition.
I wasn't aware he did a take on the Aristocrats joke. I paused this to check it out and I'm ridiculously glad I did. So thank you for that 🤩✌
vomit my way to teeth whitening and a 32 in waist LMFAOOOOOOOO
Absolutely one of the best!
That line about the Nazis and Harvey Levin is one of the hardest lines in comedy ever. Sheesh lmao

"Thrice Daily!" 😆 🤣 😆
"The kid is dying but god forbid he looks bald like you" - LOL
Great to see a comic who doesn't need an edited podcast, a group of chuckle fuck friends and a funny guest in order to get laughs.
I can't take it....he's murdering me
The bingo mental health bit is one of my absolute favorites. I didnt know what special it was from only heard it solo before. Golden.
Stanhope's BOOKS are so well written...the initial Bingo meeting as told in Digging Up Mother is hilarious. As are his bits.
A national treasure for decades and decades
Might be Doug's finest work, just killer bit after killer bit.
I'll never understand why he hates big venues, he'd sell them out - the venue not his values.
You kinda answered your own question with the end of your statement
@@2guns44 your handle says it all - do you understand the word "rhetorical" or "amendment"?
Stanhope is my favorite!! Thanks for the upload
Such brutal honesty has to be known Worldwide! Awesome comedian and student of human nature.

This whole special still applies
Doug Stanhopes house burned down recently
Hope he’s doing okay.
Wow! Hope they’re okay.🙏🏽
little fire ain't gonna fuck with stanhope or bingo - i follow him on fb and seems to be doing fine :)
Stanhope is my sll time fav
This special is his masterpiece I reckon
nah def not better than his earlier stuff
No comic comes even close to this guy nowdays...
Stanhope for president
Doug Stanhope and Frankie Boyle top of the game 😂
People that tell me they love Stanhope and or Banshee tv show I automatically like . It never fails always turns out to be a cool ass guy or girl.

He's the chain-smoking brother of Carlin, just pure candor no matter the outcome.
No place for honesty anymore, everyone just starts crying immediately coz their feelings got hurt and whatever else 30+ yo. babies do for a living...
He's got a bit of a young Milton Berle profile.
the truths hidden layers
23:17 - Personhood is the weirdest thing that ever happened to me. Blows my mind.
50:20 "Jurys still out on that" its the little comments like that which make him the fucking goat of the goats. top goat.
Stanhope is the best! His bit about mental illness is fucking brilliant.
He’s easily my favorite comic ‼️

Who's the other?
I see him almost break a couple times just barely holding in tears and holding it together. Never noticed that before. Then I noticed what was in his hand. A fucking coffee cup.
👎🏻😔 no pinche bueno
Even the bits that aren't really that funny, I still listen because whatever he's saying is interesting.
I love how this is relevant probably even more than back then! Only note is at 1:09:10 the joke would've been perfect if he said HeureCum
Anyone knows what his rose lapel pin is?

how do you juggle balls?
Very carefully?
