To be a bit pedantic, that isn't always true. I worked for a company that made the HITAC tunnel radio rebroadcasting system. And there are other such systems. There is a means to receive, and rebroadcast, radio signals inside a tunnel. Big tunnels all over the U.S. and the world have such systems. Depending on the system, your AM radio and FM radio won't drop out. And more importantly, emergency radios will still work in the tunnel for first responders. And the cherry on top, at least with the HITAC type systems, is that the tunnel authorities can override the what was being broadcast over the air and provide their own message such as "Accident ahead, slow down." or "Tunnel temporarily blocked. One hour wait." Anyone who happens to be listening to their radio will hear the message. At the company I was at, this was just one of several product lines. It was sold off to Canam Technlogy who handles it today. They don't seem to use the tradename HITAC anymore, but they have a web site showing their stuff.
thank you so much for the upload. fantastic comic and great guy in real life. king of the one liners. most ppl haven't even heard of this dude and it's sad. thanks again. awesome and the quality and audio are balanced. great job
"So, what did you think?" "Bob was here." Line I had never heard before. For years I've told students, "everywhere is walking distance if you have the time." He has the funniest lines!
I used to love watching this guy. In the spirit of his humor I wondered if he could still be alive after all this time so I checked and yes he's still alive. I'm 4 months older than him.
He sure is. It's great that he's still around and you can visit his website to get CDs and DVDs directly from his store. He's already successful, but I enjoy supporting his work. He's so underrated and seldom mentioned today.
It gets me how the middle right of his head has a square of hair. You can see it through the thin bushes when he looks to his left. In interviews when he's older it's easier to see it, so in this older footage I lose myself looking for it
Picture two people going to a movie theater to see different movies (for whatever reason). They come out of the theater, after watching two different movies, and ask each other, "What did you think?" What makes his joke funny is that one wouldn't ask this question after 85 years of not seeing someone. It's a short-term question.
oh wow i never knew that zack galifianikis modeled his style after steven. at least thats what it seems like, they both ramble through one liners and short but sweet bits. i really love his comedy, never heard of him but i feel like i just stumbled upon a legend
nateman79 I agree somewhat...but Steven has been around since the early 80s ...really since the late 70s...and he does carry some weight with the "over 50 " fans. For us he has proven himself every time.. Love his approach and his creepy honesty...
I had a dog and when he was a puppy I named him Stay. lmao lmao. I used to drive a helicopter and could never find a place to park so I would just tie a rope to it and leave it running. lmao lmao
Pure genius. Incredibly funny. Doing this was far more difficult than it appears. One of the greats.
“Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.” 🙏
"Babies don't need a vacation but I see them at the beach...pisses me off" lmao.
One of the best one liner comics ever. My fave: my friend is a radio dj. When he walks into a tunnel you can’t hear him.

@@trainliker100 thanks for explaining the weirdest reassurance in this world, I love you.
@@trainliker100 that's a lot pedantic
It actually gave me chills, it's so thought-provoking.
Cool to see the distortion on the bottom of the screen caused by an old VHS tape dub.
Long Live Stephen Wright!
This guy has the most ridiculously compelling stories
In short form, yes. In long form, Norm Macdonald holds the title.
"You never know what you had until it's gone. And I wanted to know what I had. So I got rid of everything." -Steven Wright
He also said, "you can't have everything.... where would you put it?"
Thanks. I had forgotten just how brilliantly funny Steven was when I watched him on the Johnny Carson kinds of shows.
It sure is. Even his responses to Johnny Carson's interviews were hilarious.
This guy is SO great. Classy, and too funny.
Drove by a gas station and saw two signs “help wanted” and “self serve”
So I went inside and hired myself.
Hey! Steven Wright shows I haven't seen! What a treat!
I saw him in London on this tour, God, I'm old.
The genius required to write these jokes is unbelievable
thank you so much for the upload. fantastic comic and great guy in real life. king of the one liners. most ppl haven't even heard of this dude and it's sad. thanks again. awesome and the quality and audio are balanced. great job
"Some people suffer from a fear of heights. I have a fear of widths."
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.
There's people here who don't think that's funny?
I once tried to make instant coffee in a microwave....I almost went back in time.
I have poop on my ass tube

@@MerleBowers Phew! Thank God they ignored your advice 😮
"If you didn't know me, would you think I was a stranger?" - Steven Wright
Did you ever wonder how deep the ocean would be without all those sponges?
Steven is so funny that just reading his jokes quoted by other people on here is making me laugh.
"I heard that you don't know what you have until its gone. So I got rid of everything to figure out what I had" xD
"I had a job once, at a fire hydrant factory. But there was no place to park."
Why would you want to park *inside* the factory?
One of the most original and funny comedian I have ever seen. I wish we had more comedians like him.
Barak Obamish
But then they wouldn’t be original
i know he's being funny but for some reason i believe everything he says
No matter how surreal it gets, he does make it sound very convincing.
I used to love watching this guy. In the spirit of his humor I wondered if he could still be alive after all this time so I checked and yes he's still alive. I'm 4 months older than him.
He sure is. It's great that he's still around and you can visit his website to get CDs and DVDs directly from his store. He's already successful, but I enjoy supporting his work. He's so underrated and seldom mentioned today.
I love how he made himself laugh about giving everything away. I miss Steven.
He's apparently still touring, just not at the same level as he used to. Google it.
Salvador Dali was using a dotted line he caught every other fish just awesome
Sometimes I fill the bathtub halfway with water, turn on the shower and sit in it. Then imagine I was in a submarine that’s just been hit.
"OK, so what's the speed of dark"?
Next to "6,000 ants dressed up as rice and robbed a Chinese restaurant", this is my favorite line from him ever
I know them and they wouldn’t do a thing like that.
"if ya shoot a mime, should you use a silencer?" WIN.
The first few seconds are the first time I've ever seen him smile.
1:00 "What do you mean?" "You know, you are awake, now close your eyes and sleep."
brilliant! Clear school colors...and wake up letter from hotels!!! pool depth hehhehe
“I just paid $30 for a bottle of shampoo.
For $30 I should’ve gotten a bottle of real poo...”
It gets me how the middle right of his head has a square of hair. You can see it through the thin bushes when he looks to his left. In interviews when he's older it's easier to see it, so in this older footage I lose myself looking for it
you need to get out more lol
@@ketchup5344 u right.
Seems to me Donald Fagan consults Steven Wright on song lyrics for those 70's era Steely Dan songs. I lvoe this stuff !
babies don't need a vacation but I still see them at the beach.. Wow I laughed so hard I had tears rolling down my face.. lool
Wright was comic genius...some people just dont get deadpan humor...hes the best of all time at it
Is.
Favourite Steven wright joke is " I want to get a tattoo of my self on my entire body...but an inch taller". Classic.
my favorite was....." I put a blank tape in the stereo. turned the volume up full blast. drove the Mime next door crazy."
@@ugaladh Insanely funny.
"My neighbor had a circular driveway put in, now he can't get out"
Wow, I stole that joke so many years ago I forgot he was the one I stole it from.
356👎 people have no sense of humor are walking dead!
Pure comic genius I’m still pissing my pants!
Maybe you should flush them .
I wish there was more funny like this in the world.
HILARIOUS!! I WENT FISHING WITH SALVADOR DALI.... AND HE USED A DOTTED LINE... AND HE CALLED EVERY OTHER FISH!!!🤣😂🤣
My eyes hurt. I was speedreading and hit a bookmark.
Steven Wright is a beast
It's seems like he's really trying, not to laugh, as he's telling his jokes. That's got to be extremely difficult.
'if you shoot a mine should you use a silencer' - 'if you didn't know me would you think i was a stranger?' - GOLD!
Shane Bray ... This video just showed up. It's 'mime', not "mine".
tremendously brilliant man ,,,!!! i miss him ..
he is still alive I think
He’s not dead
He's still rocking it at age 68, he's the best
Dude a genius...simple yet funny
My favorite ---I bought a box of powdered water...but I don't know what to add.
I live on a one-way dead-end street.
"I'm not naked. I'm in the band."
My school colors were clear..
Top 3 comedians EVER
"My school colors are clear". What a colorful imagination he has. 😀
Picture two people going to a movie theater to see different movies (for whatever reason). They come out of the theater, after watching two different movies, and ask each other, "What did you think?" What makes his joke funny is that one wouldn't ask this question after 85 years of not seeing someone. It's a short-term question.
It’s way deeper than that...
05:16
Much of Wright's humor is surreal so his reference to Dalí is apt and not surprising.
YouzTube99 🙄🥴🤤
How can t you tell?
Aww did you just watch the Gilbert Gottfried podcast w/ Wright as a guest and then think this would be a smart comment ?
@@ibrahimtall6209
No. Until you mentioned it, I wasn't aware the GG had a podcast.
Every day I like to put a little of the time aside and just forget about it, so at the end of the year I have a few days to myself!
Once you forget about a time, it's gone forever, so at the end of the year you'll be left with nothing 😜
You ever lean back on two legs of a chair and just as you’re about to fall you catch yourself ? .......... I feel like that all the time.
"I live in a highrise apartment.
The other day I took my dog for a walk.
On the ledge.
Most people are afraid of heights.
I'm afraid of widths" 🤣🤣🤣
Classic comedy from Steven
Someone asks Steve how he feels.You know that feeling when you lean back in a chair and almost tip over.I feel that way ALL the time..
The King of One liners.
I love how his brain works. I’m jealous . . .
"Ooooooohhhh Steven" please keep working? Where did the time go?
oh wow i never knew that zack galifianikis modeled his style after steven. at least thats what it seems like, they both ramble through one liners and short but sweet bits. i really love his comedy, never heard of him but i feel like i just stumbled upon a legend
He sure is a legend. He's been hilarious for a long time. Was pretty much the originator of surreal one-line comedy.
This is like watching a Proto-Mitch Hedberg.
Yeah, I feel like Mitch and Hannibal burress both got their style from him. Sad about Mitch though.
This guy is still alive. Mitch went down a dark path and got to the point he was asking for drugs on stage before he overdosed.
"If you didn't know me you'd think I was just a stranger" 👌 gold
This is gold. Too good.
It’s... “ If you didn’t know me would you think I was a stranger?” 3:20
My favorite is. “I went to a restaurant that served breakfast anytime. I ordered breakfast in the Renaissance
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You mean french toast during the Renaissance I'm pretty sure that's what he said.
Too many comedians just tell unfunny stories about their lives. It's so nice to hear actual jokes.
Thank you so much for upload,
The babies on the beach one is jokes.
"...it pisses me off."
I remember seeing this when it first aired years ago.
Kevin Anderson hey thanks
Steven is a big fan of Salvador Dali and it started with him visiting a museum on a school trip in high school
2:31 Lmao. Wright is great and classy.
The great Zen Master of the absurd
Jesilnik owes this man royalties
He is one of a kind, brilliant funny.
2:50… First time I have EVER heard Steven Wright say a "bad" word!!
Ahh the guy on the couch
"Yeah..I'll have some waffles.."
I like to read between the lines - but I always take the precaution of checking the timetable first.
Steven wright and Dave attell are the most underrated comics in history
nateman79 I agree somewhat...but Steven has been around since the early 80s ...really since the late 70s...and he does carry some weight with the "over 50 " fans. For us he has proven himself every time.. Love his approach and his creepy honesty...
big time!
I'm going to have to find Dave Atell now!
The master of dropping acid and keeping it together..
I can drop acid and keep it together...(its shrooms that I cant
I had a dog and when he was a puppy I named him Stay. lmao lmao. I used to drive a helicopter and could never find a place to park so I would just tie a rope to it and leave it running. lmao lmao
This guy is like Monty Python on drugs.
There can be only one!
He is pure genius.
Love this guy ... lol 😂
"I got busted for scalping low numbers at the deli."
"Sold a number 3 for 28 bucks."
Garfunkel does "Stand-Up" after Paul says "Enough!!!"
Great one!!!!!! Lol
*Insert line from video we just watched*
Peter Piper 2 things I hate: 1. Hipsters trying to be ironic. 2. Lists.
Babies don’t need vacations, yet I see a lot of them at the beach.
No. Don’t tell em what to do
A National treasure.
Nic Cage
*Thing that a guy said in a video we just watched*
A sign in a lot said 'Lots For Sale'. Lots of what?
The other day I remembered everything I forgot. 😂
the guy on the couch half baked
Steven "is not" Wright but he is hilarious and a genius!
He bought some batteries, but they weren't included. He bought some powdered water but didnt know what to add
Steven Wright looks like Art Garfunkel & Lurch had a child.
Well done, Larry...
totally off the wall!
