Bobcat Goldthwait - "Is He Like That All the Time?"

[@UltimateGamerCC]

i feel like i just unearthed and opened an old time capsule.

[@reddlycrow5839]

Love this guy. Gained our affection with a character-voice, then showed us his mind.

[@HappyHimitsu]

My left ear loved this.

[@JBLAKIE1]

HappyHimitsu thanks to you I realized my earbuds were on backwards

[@munkeybutt]

PhantomPanic the right ear was like "You LAUGHED?!"

[@aldoparziale5669]

[@arksurvivalplay1693]

Lol! Definitely a lefty. Still sometimes funny.

The left ear on my earbuds doesn't work...

Thanks for making this awesome show available. Bobcat is certainly an underrated performer and a very talented comedian.

I wish I could have been alive to hear bobcat goldthwait wake me up on the radio

He plays his character to perfection. He does seem like he is Coked up out of his mind. Which is the character that he did back then.

[@maineeveryday796]

He claims he's been sober since 19

[@GenericSpace]

The 80's were so awesome!!!

[@RichGraf6]

Bob Golthwaite abandoned this caricature years ago. I do understand how difficult it would have been to carry this on through aging years. But this is just about the most gut wrenching laughter that I can remember. I loved his persona back in the 70s. The man is a genius. And I had no doubt back in the 70s that he was a genius . It is probably best for him to have abandoned this persona just because it requires a younger man to do this. I laughed so hard watching this link that it superseded all of the previous you tube postings that I have seen since I got a computer to watch this stuff on. A comic genius. That's all that I can say. He does guest on NPR's programs on Saturday occasionally. He is a brilliant man. Kudos Bob!

[@shilohstore6086]

To be honest I don't think there was enough cocaine to sustain this caricature... 😂

[@Lordmij]

Ummm, didn't he start in like 81 or 82?

[@the-np4mr]

@@Lordmij he did shows at his school, maybe this guy went to the same school as him

[@shiroibasketshoes]

You seem very kind, but I am confused. You think that highly of him, yet you still misspell his last name Goldthwait in two ways.

[@coalblooded]

​@@LordmijYeah, I think he was a kid in the '70s. Always hilarious though.

[@Binkx1982]

I love how animated he is and how he interacts with his audience.

This here, is a perfect example of pure comedy. We have either lost the great ones, or, they have faded away. We need this again in our lives, and around the world. Comedians would make things better for everyone.

[@joerequa2554]

Most people are going to watch this and think that the only thing funny about bobcat goldthwait is the voice and his character and that's not true he's a brilliant comedian and one of the greatest filmmakers of our generation I watched every movie he's ever made, and they are all brilliant. Bob, like it or not you are an icon. One of those comedians that actually can make you think. I love this guy.

[@liquidbraino]

Very humble too. I met him a few years ago, really nice guy.

[@coalblooded]

And an incredible writer and director. I fucking love this guy!

[@laurencewhite4809]

I love the fact that the top comment on this video is someone saying "I know this isn't funny at all, but, but, but... he directed some films" What??? One of the greatest filmmakers of our generation? Are you high?

All these Sacramento radio stations I grew up with that no longer exist...great little time capsule here

[@ericblom9568]

Same here. I grew up in Fair Oaks. I left CA in '97 because the greater Sacto area had turned in LA north. It was taking the better part of 1.5 hrs to get to work 10 mi away, so I bailed & moved to TX. Best decision ever...

Amen!! I too missed the 80s. Good old days

[@Roosters-rants1977]

Me too. Sa bad. I watch these young kids acting Trans, non binary. Thinking they a reinventing the wheel. It's been done. The 80s were great.

[@patriciovalenzuela6119]

This guy has the balls to be creative... he’s successful, his act is unique, he is different, and he is funny...

[@jennifertochi6253]

He is wonderful. I agree with you.

[@jennifertochi6253]

Love you for putting this on too! Fell in love with him after watching him in One Crazy Summer. Love his Stand up. Hey I was a teenager.

[@johnm8086]

Just saw him live, he was awesome!

[@charlesrobinson7469]

My Friends & I loved Bobcat when we were 8th graders(1986-87). I also loved His speech at the end about being an average height to his kids. He was part of some of the best times of my life. Thank You Bobcat!👍

[@yvessanchez1]

We love you Bobcat!!! 😆😄😍❤️

[@laurencewhite4809]

We? As in two people? I can believe that.

[@ElephantsinMud]

Damn. That ending. Hell yeah, Bobcat.

[@PeterPasquale]

Bobcat is brilliant. I saw him in character in San Francisco and he blew my mind. I never miss a chance to see him in San Francisco.

[@spydrmac4010]

This gives me life! Thank you Bobcat!

[@JavierHernandez-fq4hu]

Wow. That is a humble ending. The bit with his dad and the kids really hit home.

[@MiloXaben]

Agreed! ^_^

[@colewilliams6623]

Javier Hernandez Yeah, I didn't know that back in those days he ever broke character. It was a nice touch.

[@davethrash9707]

I didn't expect that ending; very well said ... (Both Bobcat, and you, Javier) ...

[@taylorkeahey8748]

This is my favorite show of Goldwig’s “scream” period, especially since I used to live in SF, and saw so many shows at the GAMH. Glad Bobscratch is still doing comedy…his current stuff is easily the best of his career. Go see him.

[@coalblooded]

I've always found him so attractive lol And he's still got it, obviously.

[@MrSunturion]

I saw this on Cable not long after it was released. I was a 14 Year Old Teenager, so I didn't get a lot of the Adult Punchlines at the Time. But now seeing this again as an Adult it's even more Hilarious. love Bobcat.

[@i4zetec]

Red shirt guy's best night of his LIFE!

[@prinstyrio0]

Wow, this was a really good quality video. It felt like it was recorded more recently like late 90's or early 2000, but all the hairstyles, clothes, cars and the age appearances don't match up, it feels so weird! xD

[@BearAmbrosia]

i dont mind your opinions, if you're gona hate me just understand why you hate me. learn to hate correctly thats all. beautiful.

[@BrEaKiNg_Brad]

Thank you for uploading this. I love Bob

[@truththestrangerfiction9099]

I saw this on HBO when I was a kid, this is my favorite stand up act of all time! That's a a serious statement!!

[@StormLaker]

He reminds me 100% of my brother in law- and I mean the character that Bob has created and has made his mark with. When I first met my brother in law, I was in middle school, and he was a senior in high school (back in the 80's)....and hadn't yet met my sister who was in college. Anyway the police academy movies were pretty big stuff at the time and of course my brother in law hammed it up.......and it never has taken much effort. He doesn't even have to try, he pretty much talks, snorts, paces, etc. And the more excited he gets the more he does it......until he get's pissed off. Then you had better leave the county for a day or two.......

[@kylejosephsen9388]

StormLaker1975 He might be a neurotic... *Snorts*

We wonder sometimes, haha!

[@Lordmij]

2021 now

[@RobHeathers]

He looks so different in this compared to his newer stuff. I grew-up with him via his game show on FX "Bobcat's Big Ass Show" and I had a total couch on him. His movies these days are great.

[@thunderboydavid]

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! -- i can't tell You how many times i watched this when it came out. i have the VHS tape up in the attic. This performance is my favorite of his!! So Funny! i found Fontaine - Why Am I Straight about a week ago. WAY TOO FUNNY!!! So many memories from way back.!!! Thank You!!!

[@ChadJuiceAck]

Bobcat is a legend behind or involved in so msny things good in comedy in Hollywood over the years.i wish he would have kept doing his fake voice when he got older and more into directing and stuff that he didnt need tobuse it and kind of disappeared.i wish in WINDY CITY HEAT hecwould have done his voice with his mega phone or whatever it was called he used

[@DimitriosChannel]

I never liked him and thought he was weird but the ending showed me that he has a mind and heart and that's not his normal voice which I thought it was. Watched like 3 interviews of him and he seems like a cool guy.

[@tkkalverm]

There are so many ingredients in Tab it says at the bottom of the can... "See other can". Ha! He's brilliant.

My mom and dad had this on VHS, and it was the first stand-up special I ever saw. Thanks for the upload.

[@sarahschrauwen232]

Especially the last part! Super!

[@liquidbraino]

I don't think most people realize how much this man influenced modern comedy. Even people like Louis CK who seems like he's just making it up as he goes and falling apart but in reality it's all planned, he knows every beat he's gonna hit and has impeccable timing. But I think he got that from watching RFG. Even his Magic Mike routine seems like it may have been influenced by this special. Not necessarily stolen or copied but who else has the balls to stand on stage and say "I have homosexual tendencies"? Bobcat did it first.

[@Yuneed2no]

Absolutely! I'm getting my kids to watch "scrooged"! I want them to know just how amazing he is! Just like bill Murray. Comedian genius!

[@Roosters-rants1977]

I love how he doesn't just be crazy but makes political points.

[@danrion8839]

Bobcat was Jim Carrie of eighties.

[@Shindai]

I dunno how serious he was about homosexual tendencies, but even as a bit it's pretty damn bold to share that during the AIDS crisis, fair play to him. I'm a bit late to the party of looking up what else he's done besides Police Academy, but I've decided I like him a lot :)

[@coalblooded]

I first saw him in "Scrooged" as a kid and absolutely loved him, but it wasn't until my adult years that I sort of re-found him and started watching more of his stuff. He is an incredible person.

[@garryryan4465]

Been looking for this for years.

[@MarcyTrivette]

I noticed that this was originally aired in 1988. It's interesting to listen to the issues that he makes jokes about from that time because I was only 8 years old in 1988. So, I was too young at the time to care about anything political or otherwise going on in the world at the time. Back then, all I cared about was playing with my friends and being a kid.

[@Roosters-rants1977]

This had to be so exhausting. I bet he loved his fans but they annoyed the hell out of him.

[@patsyr3919]

LOVE HIM!!!

[@yomyomcam]

[@jeffreyvitale2510]

[@faerefolke]

Always made me laugh. Even when he appeared on Finding Bigfoot.

[@alexdekarske7415]

I fast forwarded it to the very end because I thought i was going to cringe every few seconds and then I would keep rewinding it becouse I thought I missed the bit everyone was laughing at and I ended up rewinding it to the beginning

interesting how he really zones in on the production and cameras and shoots the crowd around 23 mins-- considering over time he's probably more accomplished as a director and auteur.

[@soeffingwhat]

True, its a Character he created and played.

[@georgelarson594]

he did talk that way in the police acadamy movies and in one crazy summer.

If I remember correctly, it was a persona/character he created to help him deal with stage fright or social anxiety or something. I could be wrong, but I think that was the reason.
