My wife and I saw this guy on the floor of a convention in Las Vegas somewhere around 1990. My wife blurts-out “I’ve seen you!”, and, without skipping a beat, he replied, “I’ve seen you too…through the window.” Great original comedian.

[@meedily]

He's incredibly brilliant.

Gentle (but firm) with the ladies. Ladies need firmness.

@@Krbydav328 "Yknow he's good with the ladies": Only with the, 'hot mamas'. He was at the club the other night, going from bar stool to bar stool, with no luck...no gum under any of them.

[@discobikerAndRosie]

My brothers & I discovered Emo in the 80s. He's a comic genius! We laughed our butts off! His jokes never get old!

[@apothecurio]

It’s so timeless, which is why it’s still so funny. Never really mentions anything modern or current to the times.

I was a huge Emo fan back in the day....he and Judy Tenuta were extremely creative for their time !! I still tell Emo stories/jokes to this day.

Emo my favorite ❤

[@EarthSurferUSA]

It is sooo nice to hear good humor again. No divisiveness or mocking masked as humor, (as seems dominant today). Just good humor that makes the best part of us laugh. I hope he is rich now! :)

[@KairuHakubi]

In fact he has that whole routine about how silly divisiveness can get, the one where he's talking someone down from suicide.

[@monolithsound]

Artist. Fearless performer I think.

[@IanMHaraldsonDecker]

this has always been my favorite bit, this is the reason i love comedy

[@hansknutson2327]

Just found Emo on comedy 800 Bakersfield I heart Hilarious ! ! !

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

First time I heard that cellar door joke I about peed my pants. His punchlines come out of nowhere!

[@KairuHakubi]

and he pauses just long enough for your brain to go into neutral. it's like a fighter who just stands there so long that you have to eventually break your stance, and then he kicks you in the nuts from behind because it turns out that was an Emo standee.

There is only one of these geniuses in this universe. He is the Salvador Dali of comedy.

[@SnackPackSilkens]

Okay I've been on a binge of Emo Philips videos lately since I was reminded of him when he was in Weird, that Weird Al Movie...where he played Salvador Dali. Had to comment on that when I saw your comment.

I've seen him 3 times in person and he was fantastic every time. I just wonder why he doesn't know you don't use common denominators when multiplying fractions (only in adding).

[@lindaeasley4336]

This looks like very early in his career - late 70s maybe around 1980 or 81

[@marktretter4928]

Emo! Emo! Emo!

[@AmiUnhinged]

Lol I gave up toothbrushes after my wisdom teeth fell out at the back. I pretended it didn't even matter to me at the time and kept brushing my teeth. Then I realised I had been listening to Disturbed at full volume and instead of air drumming I was rage brushing my teeth until I was a foamy dribbling mess. Anyway I was sure the stick was to blame and I broke up with it.

[@thedolphin5428]

Too much acid in 68.😅

[@AmiUnhinged]

Haha, the old 'running up the stairs instead of down the hall' joke: I mean....first you have to positively affirm you aren't in a movie, before you laugh since some people do that every day. Once, there was a low-hanging thunderstorm near my house and when the thunder cracked across the sky I screamed and ran for the door, which broke since I was clearly an elephant at the time and it turned out it was made of cardboard and from America. I was like 'is this some kind of a joke?' American doors? Anyway there are other sure and gory ways to die in horror cliche: 1) you fumbled the keys at the door and dropped them (and DIED) 2) You went to the park in the night time to meet...some one. About...something. (and DIED) 3) Professor Goodbody is organising a backpacking BYOB geological expedition to...the. middle of creepy nowhere.

[@AmiUnhinged]

4)someone asked you out on a date on the Internet...(and you DIED) 5) there was a domestic disturbance outside your place at night and you went out to see what all the screaming was about (and died)

Some of his jokes are funny, but I just can't take the voice and his body movements, very annoying.

[@professorswaggamuffin7572]

He's actually pretty funny but the movements and weird voice kind of detracts.
