Brian Regan Has A Brilliant New Invention | Letterman

[@aclark5663]

Brian's a beast. A great combination of absurdity and physical comedy. So many hall of fame worthy bits.

[@FlamingZelda3]

I've listened to quite a handful of comedians throughout the years, but it's always Regan's jokes which come back to me years after hearing them.

[@sharonkellogg4148]

I listen to his jokes over and over, and I still laugh and laugh

[@user-eh5gj1hx9z]

One of, if not the BEST comedian EVER!

[@briandieck3409]

Possibly the most underrated comic of the last 30 years.

[@craigcampbell1843]

Seriously? Which part made you laugh?

[@nathanmark1118]

The best ever in my opinion

[@leebrock4783]

​@@craigcampbell1843All parts.

[@toreckman8899]

Underrated? How? He’s done quite well.

[@JonBlackstone]

At 60 years of age I’ve seen all the greatest. I have to say I’ve never seen anyone better than this guy. Nonstop laughs without a single crude word or reference. That’s almost miraculous these days.

[@fourscoreand9884]

The best alive

[@hamhead2765]

Writing and persona make Regan great. I wouldn't say it's his omitting of edgier language

[@JonBlackstone]

@@hamhead2765 ​​⁠His refusal to use crude language or subject matter is an obvious sign of his comedic brilliance. Other comedians remark about it all the time. Crudeness is a hallmark of comedians because it’s the easiest laugh; just as it is among teenagers and drunk adults.

[@hamhead2765]

@OnlyKidWithCamera So Carlin, Pryor, Bruce, Hicks, etc were bad comics? That's just your sensibility. That's why they call it a "sense" of humor. Everyone is different.

[@hamhead2765]

@OnlyKidWithCamera Regan has also commented that he has no problem with "obscenities". It's just not how he writes

[@mdj1967]

I think I cried 🤣 every time Brian performed on Letterman. This one included 😂

[@elmolewis9123]

Brian is In my top 5 comedians list.

[@Jim_L]

When Brian Regan is on, it's hard to find anyone funnier. 🤣

[@timroderick2314]

I never get tired of the ironing board.

[@IOI769]

Some years ago, a girl I started dating and I planned on seeing Brian Regan but then a few hours before we were going to leave for the show, she called and told me she couldn't make it due to a family emergency. She then asked if I was still going or instead hang out in the area with her, my reply was, "Yes...absolutely I am going to see Brian Regan...!" She wasn't too happy about my over-exuberant reply to go without her especially since she was a big Brian Regan fan like me. I then rode my motorcycle alone (as my car was in the shop) two hours each way in winter weather and practically froze each way there and back but Brian Regan was so funny it was all worth it. The first and last time I saw him live, and I can't wait to see him again.

[@JoshColletta]

I missed this when it first aired. That joke about who he feels bad for just got a DEEP gut laugh out of me! 🤣

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

That was his best bit, for sure.

[@ppumpkin3282]

Amazing how he and his brother can tell great jokes without obsenities or offending people.

[@wyskass861]

It's not that amazing. These dumb comments always pop up as if there was something at all significant about it.

[@FLPhotoCatcher]

@@wyskass861 Well, I guess Brian Regan offends you with his refusal to stoop to your level - i.e., crude low-brow jokes.

[@Trobtwillis]

Brian is a true humanitarian. I ❤ the way that he stood up for sincere crop-dusters from the Arabic-American Community. ❤

[@cactaceous]

I was once one of the toddlers involved. Well, I was 4. At my grandmothers apartment I decided to slide on the wooden floor with socks and slid onto my grandmother and the ironing board that proceeded to topple over on me. The iron landed not too close but got whooped by the board. My grandmother yelled and cried. I cried. It was a scene. When my parents showed up they yelled some more. I have no recollection of it but my grandmother loved telling the story of when I “nearly died” on her care.

[@dawnt5487]

My husband and I went to see Brian Regan in 1991 for our third date. Have since taken our teenagers to see him and in 2015 celebrated our 23rd anniversary by meeting him before his show. So humble, a great guy!

[@ndiazjr25]

That’s so awesome!! Did you tell him that when you met him?

[@dawnt5487]

Sure did!

[@augusthere7154]

I can listen to his routines over and over and over again and still laugh hysterically.😂

[@Trobtwillis]

Same.

[@7silver78fox]

Love this guy 😂

[@TWLanddotcom]

The hardest I ever laughed was at a 1998 Brian Regan show

[@rocks4brains]

He always reminded me of GW Bush the way he’s so proud of himself after a joke.

[@mafiaserge23]

His ironing board invention joke is pure comic genius.

[@randall-king]

This is some of the best stuff I’ve heard from him, and that’s saying a lot. This is too funny.

[@7silver78fox]

I'm jealous yo💖

[@timothymay6648]

If you haven't yet, you HAVE to go Google the emergency room routine and the hotel routine he does. They are amazing!

[@JoeLaRocca]

That's a high octane set.

[@FeikNeyme]

No

[@justusbowman]

I didn't realize at first, but I had him at 1.5. Haha. So for me, it definitely felt like he was zooming faster than usual.

[@monalisa2662]

I have been to every show when Brian performs in Utah. Purdy sure I have paid for a pair of shoes or two. We love him! Thanks for keeping it clean bro... you are the best! I heard for good physical and mental health you should laugh for a minute a day... Brian Regan is the cure and then some!

[@michaelbonadio3649]

Please add more of his stand up from his days on letterman. Hard to find his comic routines and especially this quality. Well done Letterman

[@dmattinman]

Yes. I was looking for the one where he told the joke about the Planet of the Apes.

[@timothyhosek3551]

I love comedy and I've never hears of him, well I have now! Thanks he IS funny and doesn't swear or tell sick jokes clean. Thank u.

[@ndiazjr25]

Stupid in school has to be one of my favorite bits.

[@gavinmoore6667]

I just saw him live in New Orleans at the Orpheum Theatre. I was hurting I was laughing so hard. Never said one cuss word. Every bit he did was so relatable.

[@eltorpedo67]

hilarious. this bit rivals his walkie-talkie one for making me laugh out loud.

[@uneedtherapy42]

Funny is funny and he is hilarious

[@FeikNeyme]

Don't think so

[@teddyray8597]

​@@FeikNeymeWho do you think is funny?

[@dcool2u2]

It was uncommon for Dave to say how funny he thought a particular bit was when he went to shake a comedian's hand. Seems to me most of the time he would just say "thanks for being here".

[@davereith54]

Just intelligent observations turned into comedy. Pure genius!

[@VersinKettorix]

The ironing board/ Iron bit was hilarious.

[@strats991]

Very cool mic-caught commentary by Dave on the material to Brian; "I like that show horse stuff!"

[@snarflatful]

I rarely laugh out loud, but Brian makes me laugh uncontrollably, til my sides hurt.

[@sharonkellogg4148]

He's still the best!

[@kevsstream6349]

You can see why Sebastian always gives Brian his props

[@Trobtwillis]

Brian is Brilliant!

[@bryanpetersen1334]

That guy causes more tears and doubling over than CS gas. My absolute favorite

[@ursalaminor8457]

Made me laugh and laugh today funny guy!

[@TheBlissMagnets]

One of the best comedians

[@coly4ever]

My iron board sounds just like that! 😆

[@bocagoodtimes1460]

Savage!,,, that crop dusting joke😂

[@kinsmed]

Three. I've attended three of his shows.

[@pureshooter7477]

Three…girth units

[@josefigueroa2877]

My favorite comic dude is just hilarious

[@keithpennington8259]

He is so funny. My favorite has always been Walkie Talkie. Ive seen him 3 times and no jokes were the same and all were so solid.

[@andrewolivetreemixing]

90% applause rate haha what a legend

[@tiaturnbullchampionscoachi9587]

Awesome!❤ True story, My mom thought the iron was unsafe on the ironing board so she put it on the table. When I was 1 year old I crawled up on tje table and burned my leg on the iron. I have had a big scar on my leg ever since.

[@BioSafetyLevel4.]

It probably says CAUTION: SHOW HORSES so you know to stay away from it as far as possible. You maim one of those and you will be instantly bankrupted.

[@paladinsorcerer67]

Customer checking in to the airport, when the attendant says "Have a nice trip", and you reply "Yeah you, too! (In case you ever get some vacation time and can afford to buy a plane ticket to travel somewhere)"

[@daveversion2.2]

I love him and one of a handful of ‘clean’ comedy acts. Still funny in 2024.

[@giraffesareselfish9563]

The big yellow one is the sun!!!

[@TheBlissMagnets]

It's a cup of dirt, I took a cup and put dirt in it

[@jeffbaer5851]

Do yourselves a favor and watch "There's Something Wrong with the Regan Boy" if you like this clip. His bits on baseball and spelling bees and science fairs are some of his best bits. Plus, he was a lot younger, so he's got this weird physical delivery where he's all hunched over and prowling around the stage -- it's just bizarre and funny and adds to his vocal delivery.

[@X9523-z3v]

Well that was a gracious audience

[@jediroya6810]

Hey look the Shermanator grew up and became a comedian!

[@ccavicch]

I embarrass myself laughing out loud at this guy

[@stanmanmedia]

Hysterical.. iron and ironing board thing is hysterical

[@carolhensen8005]

He is very funny and clever

[@charlesclark3840]

I thought he was making up the spy of the same name, but that was real!

[@coincidencecontrol]

what song is the band covering at the end briefly?

[@tylermoser2830]

In My Place by Coldplay

thank you!!@@tylermoser2830

[@TheWhatupfoe]

What’s the song they play when he walks out?

[@finnhaverkamp]

3:16 Simpsons did it. Great episode.

[@finnhaverkamp]

Season 10, Episode 2

[@finnhaverkamp]

@@wildmyke because Simpsons still DID do it

[@finnhaverkamp]

@@wildmyke sure, but "Simpsons did it" is a *thing*, you know? Like from South Park.

[@wildmyke]

I was unaware. My aploogies

[@lsj631]

What's the name of the intro song?

[@papagrounds]

Brian could've been the Jim Carrey of comedy movies if it wasn't for Jim Carrey.

[@oldmoviesinbwwithsubtitles3501]

Not Dead

[@archstanton313]

He is all about comedy. Like Norm was.

[@shawnmc8159]

I wonder why "In my Place" by Coldplay was chosen as the song to play before/after?

[@guaromiami]

If I were a comic, I think I'd rather have the audience boo me than give me that lame ass polite applause.

[@FEROCIOUS60]

very smart comedian ....

[@billnyethesciencedenier1516]

The audience claps well after the punchline.

[@childfreesingleandatheist8899]

Did anyone Google Spy Brian Regan after this?

[@cmarti03]

Funny without profanity…Very few comedians can do it without using insults and foul language. That takes talent.

[@wyskass861]

That's not true. It's a myth that most comedian are foul and for some reason keeps getting propagated. it's like a cliche at this point to hear this said with Brian.

[@FLPhotoCatcher]

@@wyskass861 No, it is true. I've watched many comedians, and they *almost all* use foul language. Those that do not (and those that do) are not usually as funny as Brian.

[@yuvgotubekidding]

What song is the band playing? I know it but can’t pinpoint it.

[@X9523-z3v]

Coldplay - the scientist, I think

[@rw9994]

No it's In My Place by Coldplay

[@kungpaopizza2126]

*2023* most ironing boards are gone.All i know is that people in general,are using the delicate settings on the dryer to un-wrinkle their clothes 👔 👗

[@TrueSaint916]

This might be the most annoying crowd I have ever heard. Every time they clap, Brian pauses awkwardly, and I cringe.😢

[@MM-rr1kp]

This guy should have been the one to reach superstardom and have the successful TV series instead of Seinfeld

[@giraffesareselfish9563]

I love the show Seinfeld, but as far as stand-up, Brian is head and shoulders above Jerry.

[@Sui_Generis0]

what's with the clapping after every joke

[@akshayde]

Just a slower jim carrey

[@rsgabrys----]

Awesomeness!

[@JESUS-SAVES_1975.]

My wife cringes every time I get the ironing board out. She can't stand that loud screech. So I'm thinking about recording it and making it my cell phone ring tone!
