151 Tough Crowd - Patrice O'Neal, Pat Cooper, Jim Norton, Nick Di Paolo, Keith Robinson

[@xwixsticky]

Who still misses this show and wishes Patrice was around today to hear his take on all the craziness in 2024

[@AndrewBarsky]

Dude, a Pat and Patrice a radio show would have been unreal. Pat was one of the only dudes that could go toe to toe with Patrice and not even break a sweat. Those dudes were hilarious.

[@AhmadAmr98]

Pat is overbearing you would get tired after a while.. It's like listening to gilbert gottfried for any amount of time.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

I wanna know why they cut what Pat’s “I’m sorry” was at the end of the show! They shared everyone else’s except for his. 😢

[@carlosfernandez1502]

@@AhmadAmr98 I don´t think so. In Opie and Anthony he had so many great stories and jokes that is quite different from what you are trying to imply.

[@rubberchix]

​@@AhmadAmr98so was Patrice

[@jefflabbecomedy]

Sadly, Pay hated Patrice, and even went so far as not taking a liking to comedians who associated with him too closely.

“She’s from inside a lava lamp.” JESUS FUCKING CHRIST 😂

[@brenthoward760]

The show was 20 percent of what went on at these tapings. I had the privilege of seeing the taping a couple of times and they were relentless on each other and would go after the crowd if someone moaned. It was quick, brilliant and spontaneous.

[@mateowannacomedyremasterz6605]

Oh lucky that would be amazing. I can only imagine how hilarious they were when on break. Congrats being part of a super cool part of comedy history =)

@@mateowannacomedyremasterz6605 thanks for the polite comment to a stranger. Haha. It really was like sitting and watching geniuses in their own right, eloquently and quickly destroy another human only to have them give it right back an no one got emotional. Glad these still survive.

It was also poorly made, though.. I fucking love it, but god it could've been legendary & suer-famous if colin just stopped being so afraid of success.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@BLACK KNIGHT Me too! That shit was _ON POINT!_ And Pat’s line about who looked better as slaves. 😂😂😂

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@BLACK KNIGHT I know, man. Dude, people are so lost today that my sister-in-law got super pissed off at me and called me (me being a woman in my mid-40s) a “sexist” because I said the word “butch” in the statement that “no matter how butch a woman is, they’ll never be as strong as a man when working out the same amount.” (Wow, right? Who knew the adjective “butch” is now off limits to say lmfao). And… She also got pissed of that I said women aren’t the same as men, and certainly aren’t as strong as men - that they shouldn’t be hired to do some of the jobs that have historically always been men’s roles (like military front lines, on the beat as police unless it’s doing undercover work where being a female is necessary, etc). Her 17 year old daughter (my niece) had joined in on the debate, where my niece was arguing until she was blue in the face that women are just as strong as men, but maybe it’s that they are stronger in different ways (like their abdomen muscles she said lol). My brother, a UPS delivery man, sat there quiet-as can be the whole time, which I took as meaning that he knew I was right, but was too timid/whipped to speak up and support rationality, because he would never hear the end of it by his girls after I left. Or maybe he wants his daughters to join the military? Lmfao! I kicked myself later for having forgotten to ask him at the time just how many female truck packers and delivery women UPS has as employees at his branch. 😂 His wife got so pissed off by my simply calmly speaking sensical truth and reality, and my brother not shutting me up, that she went and locked herself in the bathroom until I left. 🤪🤡 Anyways, back to comedy. Earlier today, my sides nearly split when I was listening to an Opie & Anthony podcast… Pat Cooper went on a tirade to Patrice that was all compassionate and complimentary about his peeps ‘n shit, and then he ended it by saying “now get up there and tap dance!” 😂😂😂 The entire room exploded in laughter. And in a roasting of Patrice in a Boston joint, Rich Vos was talking about how Patrice needs to be in more movies, because all he’s ever seen him in was the one with Sigourney Weaver, where he was “in the Mist.” Oh, and there was also a clip I played back too many times today in tears… it was of Louis C.K. and Patrice, where they were saying what the origins were of different sIur words. Louis described the origin of the “N-word.” Omg it was hysterical af!!! And not only would it never be allowed to be repeated to today by a comedian or anybody else, they would get “canceled” for doing so, when it was the funniest shit ever and made everybody laugh their heads off! In fact, I’m surprised that instead of Louis getting canceled for what he was canceled for, that he wasn’t canceled earlier just by someone bringing up that clip (like what happens when old tweets are dug up that famous people wrote). Obviously YT would never allow me to repeat the joke, and I couldn’t even get close to making it as funny in text as it was with Louis’ delivery, so you’ll have to check that out here on YT yourself if you haven’t seen it yet. Yes, amazingly it is still available here to listen to, which is mind blowing af these days. When you type in both of their names, it’s the one where there is two different country flags depicted in the thumbnail. Hang in there, buddy. We live in some seriously shitty times. At least we have a decent amount of those older/better times still archived to keep enjoying, for now. Watch and listen while we still can, because good lord such things keep being removed right and left! P.S. Sorry this was so long! Haha.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@BLACK KNIGHT P.S.S. Hopefully you got my last (long) remark. I just realized that the clip I described with Louis C.K. needs a bit more description for you to be able to check it out. “Patrice O’Neal Louis CK mexican” is what you need to type.

[@jonamoe878]
