Dave Attell Hates Compliments | Bertcast # 576

[@randall7853]

Skanks for the Memories is the funniest hour of comedy of all time!

[@jayneblue2]

Dude - it's 20 years old .... yup, 20 yrs old and STILL the funniest hour of comedy FULLY AGREE

[@randall7853]

@@jayneblue2 hands down the funniest!

[@crh4878]

Not only with the jokes per minute ratio but epic jokes per minute.

[@mainek2132]

To me, it's second only to Robin Williams An Evening at the Met from '85. But Dave kills in Denver: "Ladies, does size really matter?" *women screaming* "Well, the whores have spoken." It's ageless too, minus the M-word stuff that certainly hasn't aged well. (I mean, Peter Dinklage is reason alone to never use the pejorative these days.) But, it was 20 years ago, and Dave clearly has no hate in his heart. Huge fan.

[@mattsloan9056]

Man. I saw him last night. I'd argue every hr he does is the funniest hour of all time. Unfortunately he did not seem in great health, but he was fucking on point

I met Dave after a concert in Portland 11 years ago. I’ve seen every comic you could ever want to see but I couldn’t wait to see him. I ran into him on the street after the show. I asked him for a cigarette we talked for about 30 minutes he was the nicest guy. He wrote down on a card, some of his favorite upcoming comedians for me. He was awesome.

[@TheAverageSavage1021]

@@Gooch_cruiserI guess- but Dave doesn’t need that $- he’d be perfectly okay without it. I think he’s just appreciative of Bert among others for revitalizing, and making comedy as big as it is now. Reinventing the wheel in a sense. Love him or hate him, people like Bert, Tom, the skanks, Theo, Bobby & Santino (to name a few) have reached a new level and made comedy a bigger attraction.

Dave Attell probably won’t see this, but I need to exclaim! In the 90s and early 2000s I’ve watched everything on TV and bout the Insomniac tour dvd. In 2005, I got to see him in Kuwait on the USO tour that he mentioned. He was amazing and I want to thank him for being there and doing it. Words can express how it helped my return to Home from Iraq, but those are for me a I won’t share it. Thanks, Dave, for everything!

[@robertfranks3801]

Breaks my heart when he said he could only afford to record two shows. If Attell released his special with a pay wall or accepting tips I would definitely contribute

[@jeffblack6803]

When Dave said he only did 2 shows for his special because he didn’t have enough money to shoot 4, all I could think was, he’s the most highly respected and beloved comic amongst comics in the world. One call to Joe Rogan is all it would have taken. Joe wouldn’t have even hesitated.

First time I watched Dave was when he had Insomniac show on HBO back in 2001, I was 19 yo. I loved it, I didnt know he was a comedian back then. Im from Argentina, here stand up wasnt too popular at that time, outside Seinfeld. Later on I watched his bits on YT and I liked him even more. Such a cool and chill dude.
