For those unfamiliar with his work, here is some of his material:
I tried walking into a Target, but I missed.I once saw a forklift lift a crate of forks. And it was way to literal for ME.
I would imagine if you understood Morse Code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.
I was walking down the street with my friend and he said “I hear music.” As though there’s any other way to take it in. You’re not special. That’s how I receive it too…I tried to taste it, but it did not work.I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, “You’re gonna have to move, you’re blocking a fire exit.” As though if there was a fire, I wasn’t gonna run. If you’re flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.
You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don’t want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something.
I haven’t slept for ten days, because that would be too long.
I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. “Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Boy, you really like Tide.”
I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.
This shirt is dry clean only. Which means…it’s dirty.
I love blackjack. But I’m not addicted to gambling. I’m addicted to sitting in a semi circle.
One time a guy handed me a picture of himself and he said. “Here’s a picture of me when I was younger.” Every picture of you is of when you were younger. Here’s a picture of me when I’m older. How’d you pull that off? Let me see that camera.
I think foosball is a combination of soccer and shish kabobs.
A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.
My friend said to me, “You know what I like? Mashed potatoes.” I was like, “Dude, you have to give me time to guess. If you’re going to quiz me you have to insert a pause.”
