Dave Attell has probably some of the highest laughs per minute of any comedian.

@@dwayneduhaney6576 Ari (not gonna bother to look to spell his last name) is awful. Hes tiresome and not clever. His delivery is rushed because he thinks what he's saying is WAY better than it is and hes too excited to get it out at a decent pace. Overall, hes extremely annoying. The only reason I know that turd is JRE.

Insomniac & Skanks for the Memories were both defining moments in my younger days. Truly a legend & I'm happy to see he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.
@Samurai784203 жыл бұрын
His rapid fire, stream of consciousness style is like nobody else. The amount of material needed to fill 30 minutes to an hour is crazy. Every couple seconds it's a punchline. Absolute legend.

I love Dave so much. He's such definaly my top favorite of all the comics. I grew up listening to Dave in the 90s. I'm 31 an listen to Dave's comedy when I work at night. Makes it so much more enjoyable an I feel like I have been shaped by him over the years. He's not afraid to say what he feels no matter how lude I love that he makes the audience uncomfortable at times. Only wish there was more of him on KZbin

The John Denver tape costing 99 cents vs a new tape costing 2.50 is such a brilliant joke. I dont think comedians of today come close to this quality. And comedy watchers of today cant digest these jokes. F*cking love this guy.

this is the first ive seen of Attell... normally when Joe Rogan and friends say "this guys the best or this guy is one of the greats" they are usually just blowing smoke up each others asses BUT this was the best 27 mins of stand up I think ive ever seen, this is 25 years old nd still relevant and still funny

In the comedy world, he's pretty much the most overal respected/praised comedian working today, besides probably Dave Chappelle or Norm MacDonald. The mainstream, though, is a different story. He doesn't exactly resonate with the typical casual comedy consumer, so major outlets tend to ignore him.
