Attell is so cool admitting that he stepped on that one guy's bit.

[@gorgeousgeorge187]

Chuckie Manio, Lets be honest, that bit needed stepping on..

[@bevrosity]

he respects the craft more than anything. thats why hes so respected by his peers and fans alike. world class comic imo

thats glenn wool, he did a podcast with frankie boyle while they were on acid, he's fucking hilarious

[@jam1ga]

The 2 best club comics of all time Attell and Stanhope

[@itsnotatoober]

Greg giraldo was better than Stanhope. Dave attell is untouchable king. Greg is #1 henchman, Stanhope is number 2 lackey

[@Elusive_Pete]

Stanhope is the GOD! It sucks that his brand isn't appreciated in the grand stage scale. Attell sounds like a guy that if he went on tough crowd with his delivery Patrice would tear him apart.

[@Toastybees]

itsnotatoober if Giraldo is so great then how come he's dead? Headberd was great. Hicks was a political force of nature. Giraldo was super funny and lost before his time. While I very much wish he was still around that doesn't elevate him to comedy God status. Dying young doesn't automatically afford that. Attell saw the path he was was on would lead him to an early grave so he stopped. He was smart about it. Only a select few like Farley get a pass because they were so crazy, so beyond control that they were never self aware to stop because they were too busy being uncontrollably funny they couldn't stop. I've seen Attell be serious, rarely, of course. But people like Farley could never stop being funny. They didn't know any other way to be.

[@Jiff321]

You can tell Attel is at a different level than everyone including Stanhope in this video. He belongs with Patrice O’Neal, Dave Chappelle, and louie

[@bevrosity]

i completely agree. stanhope gets the edge imo. as a matter of fact i posted a poll on fb last week asking who was better. stanhope won by 2 votes.

[@94SexyStang]

Attell is a Savage, reminds me of Giraldo, just like an Unlimited amount of Slamdunk jokes every time.

[@BrookJolley]

Conversationally funny and smart isn't something you can fake.

[@gailmargolis8811]

The only people that can match that wit are Jim Norton, Rich Vos or Dan Soder

[@hmackprotection1]

Brook Jolley, true indeed. Dave, the Late Great Patrice O'Neal, & Bill Burr are the perfect examples of perfect combination of Conversational, & Stand up Genius

[@BrookJolley]

Yeah add chris rock, richard pryor, dave chapelle, louis ck, eddie murphy, jezelnik and robin williams and you basically have a list of my favorite comics ever.

[@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239]

Or a really fucked up porno. I mean shut the fuck up :p I can't stop laughing long enough to get off.

[@diegopons4622]

No comedian has ever made me laugh 😂 harder than Dave Attell. He's the best.

[@diegopons4622]

Favorite comedians of mine: 3. Dave Chappelle 2. Louis CK 1. DAVE ATTELL (it ain't even close)

[@mistacoz]

Atell isn't just sharp, funny and quick witted, he positively rejoices when he finds something funny, especially if someone else says it. The happiness in his demeanour at the "if they can run the cafeteria in a museum" bit or when busting Provenza's balls over Stanhope's use of his name in a routine was palpable lol

[@CodeBleu724]

He's right. Alan Havey is a genius. Louis CK took Alan Havey's ball and ran with it.

[@lt.finglefubledingler1972]

“I didn’t know you had the kings of Leon doing bottle service, this is such a hip show dude” so brilliant. This show was just a shit version of Tough Crowd

[@AnnnaPotocka]

"Was it Eva Braun?" 🤣🤣 It's astounding how quick witted Attell is.

[@notbadforanoob8725]

"We're never gonna get on the cover of Yawn Magazine." Damn, Attell is so fast.

Attell just relaxing and being himself, i really miss "Insomniac", this its Dave at his best.

just saw dave at the comedy cellar 30 mins ago. he’s better than ever and also very much the same attell . he’s a 3rd degree coral belt in comedy.

[@bpal7006]

Bring this show back. Listening to comics shoot the shit, tell stories, take a piss on each other, celebrate each other ( as people or some of their bits)… you feel like your part of the club. It’s like backstage access. We need it.

Probably because this was cut for just Dave's best jokes that night, it's a montage.. Regardless, still the best conedian in the room so you're not wrong

[@blkmamba31]

Well Dave is funny, Belzer and the other hole, not so much. Belzer really cut it up with his woke “she’s so brave for blah blah blah blah fuckity blah” 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@Michael-cb5nm]

It's because neither one of them are actually funny.

And he makes it funny. Hes a Jew and willing to say some fucked up shit about Jews. Can you imagine a leftist saying anything even slightly bad against leftists?? And we all know he doesnt mean it, no one thinks hes a secret Jew hater. But a leftist comedian (by that i mean a comedian who puts politics ahead of funny) doesnt want to even have a joke on record if its not preaching their gospel

Thank you Mr Belzer for your observations of Janeane Garofalo!

[@CollinCole-c5t]

Attell is truly amazing. I'm a comic and I've seen him a few times and he bombs so gracefully. Stanhope is my favorite comic, but he either gets mad or turns the crowd like a dickheaded witch hunter when he gets pushed. Attell accepts the comment and runs with it like they're a planted co-worker. I heard a guy scream out "F@&" and he said, "Dad, please be more supportive if you want to come to my shows. Last time, he asked for a picture after the show and tried shoving a dildo into my mouth. Luckily, my mom was too drunk to take the picture." We all fell out. He should never stop.

[@OmtaThien]

[@donniethedonlesser8909]

Janeane Garofalo passes as a comedian without telling any jokes just because millionaire limousine liberals agree with her opinions. Comedy is not about politics or opinions it's about the art of making jokes and making people laugh. There are people like Matt Stone & Trey Parker who actually do a form of political satire which addressees real problems but still focuses on being funny. This is also comedy, but what Janeane does is just talking, like any politician and there really are no jokes..

[@nicosmind3]

Theres nothing worse than a leftist who puts their politics ahead of everything. Always being on preach mode, never going off script, even if its to make a funny joke. And never ever being willing to listen to the other side or concede a point. Just chilling and having fun like a normal human is too much for them. Its got to the point where "funny for a leftist" is a thing now, and it never means theyre funny. Slightly amusing at best, but no one is laughing for real
