Brian Regan - The Last Man With A Rotary Phone

[@Fzzt2]

It was so weird hearing him say "welcome to the 90's" I felt old as shit

[@themaggattack]

I felt young again just for a split second. Then I realized I hadn't woken up like my life had all just been a dream... I'm really just middle aged now. 😕

[@Zomfoo]

I don’t think I’ve seen old shit, not really old. Most shot in my experience is fairly new.

[@JeffinTD]

Knew by the hair and the suit he was coming to us from late 80’s early 90’s.

[@shawntco]

He's been using the same jokes for nearly 30 years... and the best part is they're (for the most part) the types of jokes that don't rely on the politics or social issues of the time, meaning they can be just as relateable in 2017 as they were in 1991.

[@rutabagasteu]

It's his face and body movement that does it.

[@Spoomis]

His very first bit was "You Too" as I recall.

[@zissler1]

I've listened to this guy for years and never heard these ones.

[@harrycraft5100]

If it ain't broke don't fix it

[@adameves5970]

Not the same jokes, but the same style. Big difference. Watch how your words come out, otherwise it might look like you said something incorrect(ly).

[@JesseStingl]

Love rotary telephone jokes.

[@erikpetersen-chinguacousys1943]

I've been trying to find this bit for THIRTY YEARS no kidding!! I had no idea this was even Brian Regan. And here I just stumble upon it on KZbin by happenstance. I'm so happy I found this! Can't believe it...

I hope you've also found the Brian Regan Live CD. Most of this is on it, plus some of his best material ever.

[@Thrashaero]

@@klekster12 your sense of humor is terrible

[@dookeland8]

klekster12 why? Because his jokes arent vulgar perversions screamed into a mic? He’s a real comedian who doesn’t have to rely on sex, cursing, or making fun of someone to be funny and that’s real talent

[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

@@dookeland8 , I’ve seen him live three times and he never disappointed. I remember the first time I went. I was anxious knowing I had listened to his material for years and if I would even laugh let alone like the show. He did over an hour of new material and my face hurt from smiling and laughing the entire time. He plays so well to his audience these days, really paying attention to the crowd. When he came out for his encore he explained why he always tries to use new material as most fans could recite his jokes verbatim. He went on to tell the story of a a guy that would look at him and say, “You’re telling it wrong!” and of course it got a big laugh. Anyway, he was taking requests for jokes that someone may have come to hear and didn’t and someone in the crowd yelled out, “Say 8!”. He went on to tell the joke and the entire audience was so quiet as they listened to Brian say every word as it was on the CD. It was fantastic and he received a standing ovation. If you ever have a chance to catch his show, do it!

[@ceejayc6502]

I am good watching him to do these bits early in his career, because he polished them, and perfected the 'pause' like no other comedian ever, not even Chappelle can do the pause like Brian Regan. If you watch I Walked On The Moon (it doesn't matter if you have seen his bits before - it is so funny, i can watch it 20 times and still laugh). My mother is 85 and it is weekly therapy for her and I. Clean comedy act.. safe for church going old ladies and your drinking buddies.. Also check out his brother Dennis Regan... Failed out of Kindergarten. Large families produce funny people. I am from a family of eight and consider myself hysterical... but that doesn't mean anything. You gotta do the clubs, bars, cruised for a decade or two to polish every joke to be a star... the only exceptions are eddy Murphy, who was like 20 when he just walked onto the scene and became an instant decades long star... and my personal favourite (i know he is all down on shit now) Jim Carrey. That guy could make you pee your pants... but I would say Brian Regan's I Walked On The Moon is the funniest.. because it is just as funny 2 days later.

Best KZbin vids are either from his recorded specials or fans taping bootlegs (so vid quality not great). Search for "Brian Regan Live Long Beach Terrace." 8/9 clips of 10 mins each. "Brian Regan SUU" has THE BEST example of Brian's improv skill. I believe it's on video #2. Ignore the vid quality and the breaks between...and don't drink while listening. Enjoy!
