Lewis Black's Rantcast

[@MrAnthonyinsf]

Long live the Rubber Chicken! As Carlin once said, "Chickens are good people". And Mr. Black, you are a cutting edge and brave comedian for daring to bring the Rubber Chicken back and incorporating him into your act. Don't let the assholes sway you from your artistic vision.

[@christinegatto7426]

Lewis, please lose the rubber chicken. It sounds like an obnoxious teenage boy prank. You don't need it.

[@metrodonkey8093]

i love rubber chicken, if we gotta vote again to keep it i'm ready 😂🐔

[@rangers-loyalist321]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bjdefilippo447]

Exactly! Cluck 'em if they can't take a joke.

[@ovidemiguez6766]

Fiuck art her ititis

[@ThePMcDonald]

3:16 - But you DO have family, Lewis -- each one of us, your fans, are your family -- you give us your wit & wisdom, we appreciate you, and we love you for it ❤

[@kathrynmceachern9503]

I concur! Well said.

[@taniagordon2589]

❤❤❤🤗🤗💙

[@tashuntka]

Love him... I count him as my normal family.. Family isn't who you are born with.. it's who you love..

[@colettewaddell8362]

If only one of my family members had the sense of humor that Lewis has I’d count myself blessed. We are indeed your family Lewis❤️

[@RickFruckberry]

Totally true. We are all brothers and sisters. Cool people who accept each other's humanity and appreciate the differences. And mind our own business otherwise. E Pluribus Unim.

[@lalah9481]

Rubber chickens need love too! Employ the rubber chicken, he’s funny and silly. We could all use some silly now. 😘💕💖✨🤣

[@macguffinvirtualproduction6183]

All hail the Rubber Chicken!! 🤟🏽🐓

[@maeviss-6823]

😂😅😂

[@spamletspamley672]

The Chicken stays! It's been great to hear him again, so long after he had to emigrate when outed during his fabulous run as the duck, with Ray Alan's much missed Tich and Quackers Show. I had almost forgotten about him, but it all came flooding back on the happy day that I discovered your gloriously insightful Rantcasts. Far from putting him out to seed, he should be allowed to rant forth more often himself! Bless you both for being such a reliable resource for lifting the spirits. (y) (y)

[@reneeelias9514]

Damn Right THE CHICKEN STAYS!

[@eduardoxavierismael1414]

That rant made me want the rubber chicken even more. 🐔 Don't choke the chicken, Lewis. You'll make God cry. 🙏

[@christophergerber6468]

So sorry for your losses and many thanks for your humor during these sucky times!

[@joanclawser5990]

Sending positive vibes. Rants are one thing but meanness and nastiness are another. Wish I could send more than vibes. You break my heart.😢

[@JMack42]

I hate the rubber chicken BUT if it makes you feel happy I insist you keep it! I want for you anything that will make/keep you healthy, happy and with us to keep us happy and loving you. Please keep well and know you have millions who love and appreciate you.

[@Jen7867]

You sound like a loving and compassionate person! Thanks for having such a kind attitude. 🤗❤🤗 I hope you enjoy your holidays, Louise!!

[@steppenwolf3252]

Right on, Louise!

[@notbraindead7298]

God bless your compassionate soul, Louise.

[@jerrycratsenberg989]

Lewis, I love, love, love, love, your rubber chicken routine. I come from a long line of rubber chicken lovers. When times are tough and things look grim, just the sight of a rubber chicken restores joy to the universe. From my personal point of view, the only thing more sane and comforting than a rubber chicken is two rubber chickens. or, or, a huge flock of rubber chickens. It is that time of year when song birds and water fowl migrate from the frozen north to warmer southern climes, but the rubber chicken is always faithful and stays where it is bound to attract attention and generate smiles roosting, head up, in the center of a pine bough wreath hanging on my front door. Buk-buk-buk--cluck! Buk-cluck Buk-cluck! Thank you, Lewis, for being you!

[@kathrynmceachern9503]

I have actually happened to collect a small flock of rubber chickens and I am surprised at the variety of the size and color variations of the ragtag little group of birds. I love your comment, by the way. (in case I wasn't completely obvious?)

[@onecalledchuck1664]

What we need is a Lewis Black Funko Pop figurine!

[@tashuntka]

I Want One.... Now... right now...

[@melodyschultz2595]

I must admit, I'm not crazy about the rubber chicken, so I just advance the video a bit ( just as you suggested to this assaholic ). It's not hard, and rather than make a huge stink over something that you enjoy, I can focus on your rantcast. Simple. No 'quack -quack ' necessary ! Love you, Lewis Black ...my favorite anger translator 😍😍😍

[@Jen7867]

You are a wonderful example of what everyone who doesn't particularly care for the rubber chicken should do.👍 Everyone should be allowed to have their own opinions and preferences. 🙂 But it seems like some people need to learn to choose their battles a little bit more wisely and save their complaints for things that matter more than a goofy rubber chicken should. 🤣 Take care, Melody! 🤗 ❤️🤗 I hope you enjoy your holidays!!

[@lindaflagge5796]

Mr. Black you are a fantastic comedian. So much so that I named my son, Lewis, after you! Come to Tallahassee (please!)

[@susanforrest128]

PJs work well. Chill over the holidays. Wishing you well Lewis. Enjoy B.C. this canadian loves your humor!

[@NewMessage]

"I didn't try it... others wrote in about it." That KILLED me.

[@Me-zr2xi]

Oh I want you to keep the rubber chicken even more now than I already did. 🤙🐔

[@krazyhorse448]

The Rubber chicken is the best part of the show! he says what we are thinking!

[@donnamaitlandw7460]

I love watching the rubber chicken make YOU laugh. Your reaction to it makes me laugh too!❤️

[@ladyfabula8533]

RUBBER CHICKEN MUST STAY!! I love your comedy, Lewis, and my boyfriend and I like to hear that great chicken wisdom!

[@awntie]

I'm in the Keep the Rubber Chicken camp! You keep me sane. Thank you and give greetings to the Rubber Chicken.

[@garyscott5237]

YES!!!! Let the Rubber Chicken stay. I love the rubber chicken. I laugh and laughing is the greatest gift. I love to laugh. That's why I love you Lewis Black. You are the best. We see you every time you come nearby where we live. Thank you for always making us laugh. Wish the Rubber Chicken happy holidays and the same to you and your crew.

[@lindarivas1506]

Love your comedy. We saw you at the Kravis center for the performing arts. Your show was my anniversary gift to my husband and he loved it. Thank you for keeping us sane during these very trying times.

[@Glicksman1]

Listening to smart, funny and insightful people liked you helps to give the rest of us some hope that human intelligence has not completely disappeared. Don't stop for long, sir. We need you. "Inside Out" is one of the hundred films in my top ten. I've probably watched it a dozen times and see something new in it every time. Your voice performance as "anger" was great, and if I may I say so, casting you in that role was brilliant.

[@lucillehopple5883]

Keep the rubber chicken. I absolutely love your interaction with the rubber chicken, to include your smile and laughter.

[@steppenwolf3252]

Lewis! I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't know...I'm so sorry for your troubles. Sorry you lost your parents and your brother. Keep the chicken please. We love you!

[@mdillian5438]

You really make me laugh at a time that we all need to laugh . Thank you very much. I’ve always liked you.

[@ytivarg5371]

I love that you throw in whatever standup set you did around the time you record this its a nice juxtaposition that i wish more comedians would do

[@KK-xd7wb]

You and your rubber chicken are beloved by countless, Lewis Black. You are an artist who has the right to express yourself as you like. If people (and cowards like assaholic "Arthur") don't like your act, they can tune out or walk out. Your show is NOT Burger King: people can't order it their way. Keep doing it your way, Lewis. And thank you.

[@glomontero6011]

Keep the chicken Keep the chicken! I like the rubber chicken. Sometimes only the rubber chicken can say it just right.

[@joewhip9303]

Love the chicken! Lewis, it is OK that you talk to anger. When Anger starts to talk back to you, seek some help!😂

[@doppelell]

Lewis, you are the best-educator, entertainer, lover (probably). Much love from a german (sic!) plumber.

[@kimberlyb1180]

I love the Rubber Chicken! If the person who wrote this rant didn't have enough guts to state his/her real name, then...F'um! Seriously, keep doing what you do Lewis. My son treated me to a ticket to go see you for my birthday this year when you were in Charlotte in November. I love you, Lewis! Thank you for what you do. Be safe and Happy Holidays!🎄🎄🙂

[@thatguy3332]

As long as you have fun with the Rubber chicken keep going.

[@tammystansell406]

Holy 💩! Arthur Itis is...angry and in need of an anti-inflammatory for starters...he needs to find an AA meeting. We love you and the rubber chicken ❤️

[@paulaswigoda280]

Love you and the rubber chicken!!!

[@daguard411]

Do I like everything you do? Well, no. Yet understand I appreciate your talent on quick responses and casual observations added, or intentional, I don't know to your act......but I also am thankful that a well studied performer gives us a mix of history and current social observations. Give me also the best thing about you, and very few other comedians, is that whenever I watch one of your performances again, I catch something I didn't get hold on the first time. Thank You.

[@ubercaulking3656]

I'm a brother from another Mother and I lost my Mum 20 years ago to. I am sorry to know that you are spending a few Holidays without your Mum for the first times. They say it gets easier as the holidays go by, anyway it doesn't. Always think of her everyday and you will become more peaceful in your thoughts of her as time goes by. Good luck and happy new years to come. Heaven is made up by the memories that we have of the departed good and bad. Good, thoughts of them is Heaven, bad thoughts are Hell (within the restrictions of that myth). We are all stardust and memories are the only afterlife energy. R. Young

[@tekkaman-blade]

Please give my best to the Rubber Chicken! I wish them a speedy recovery!

[@gregoryjohanson2467]

Keep the rubber Chicken. It is an appropriate comedic symbol. As an older person, I like to be reminded of what is good about the past.

[@andreawalker7138]

I know it's not the same, but we are your family. We love you! And we love the Rubber Chicken!

[@sandrabarney285]

Big fan of Lewis Black for a long time

[@AnneliOberman]

Keep the chicken. I like him and the history and memories of the past that he represents. Also, I just like the silliness of the rubber chicken.

[@heathermiller923]

I like the little anger guy. the chicken is a bit irritating, but has his place i suppose. Happy festival of lights, Lewis. God bless. You have alot of people thinking of you during this first holiday difficult time for you.

[@dartfluke]

Yes to the rubber chicken. Hoping for a New Year with more sanity in the news. There would still be plenty to rant about.

[@jimihanlon5544]

I love your Rubber Chicken Schick; it’s the Banter of Your Ranter that sets the pace, for what’s-a-matter-u I Look forward to most!

[@db5823]

1:00:25 The projection, the denial and delusion, is ridiculous. But it is heart warming to hear Lewis call it out. Happy Holidays!

[@scotthoughton7245]

Hey Lewis, my cat Louis, a female, woke me up at 6 am to get her food treat. Picked up my phone and there you are. Assoholics is a term i will use daily. Waking up laughing is a great start to the day. Rubby Chicken is a must. Englehart, Ontario Canada. You are welcome here anytime.

[@michellerobinson5061]

The rubber chicken stays!!

[@mrrareclassprodigy]

Such a formal way for real live fans to throw their ranties up on the stage

[@270poundJane]

Lewis, pardon the too-familiar tone, but we are about the same age. Please do not quit; we need you. Lewis Black is more than the usual comedian. It is true; no need to deny it; slow down on letting the Bigot's chatter get to you it is just bull shit. That is all it is blaming someone else. I am 73, and when I became aware of you through the years. I follow you. Your freedom of expression, something I am referenced with, verifies the truth. Straight to the point with flowery language, it gets the point across and gives me the will to continue.

[@sherylF5610]

Do NOT have the Rubber Chicken leave the rant. And I did miss him before you mentioned why he wasn't there. That Arthur dude was a major creep.

[@chul074]

Rubber Chicken, the Jason Vorhees of the rantcast. I thought we were done with this after Halloween. Long live the rubber chicken! Why can't we have both Anger and rubber chicken?

[@michaelkissane6138]

Lewis, please realize that we, your followers, though not be blood relatives, but you are virtual family to us, and hopefully the feeling is mutual. (Also, you were so upset you said a gazelle ate a baby hyena....ooops)

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Hmm…I thought he said he watched a hyena eat a baby hyaena?

[@IMeMineWho]

Mike..not that I am Lew, but I'm in his position (sadly). I have a few really great friends who are like family, but I think what he means when he says he has no family, he means he is last of a great line which he refers to..and of course if you have great parents, they are missed beyond anything (it is immense aching and pain), but if you have great friends and fans, of course they bring comfort, laughs and glimpses of happiness. I hope you have a great holiday Michael. Hope that kind of explains that (just surmising he feels as I do).

[@brianmaxei8898]

Out of all of the comedy people both men and women Lewis black is the finest hands down long live the rant

[@charlesmiller1446]

Thanks for NO rubber chicken. It just dilutes your messages. Love you Lewis!

[@erikred8217]

Here's to you this Season Louis, hope you have a great one on way or the other. I do comics on the day often. No fam either ;). Thanks again Boyo. lOve.

[@tinat8811]

I love the rubber chicken. Please send him my Get Well wishes!

[@debrahelmlinger6256]

Lewis, keep the rubber chicken. I ran a Vaudeville Show for 100 years with Kids and Teens and we often used the rubber chicken but not every year so maybe surprise visits by the rubber chicken and the ones don't like it are free to fast forward 🤗

[@pat7989]

Lewis my condolences for your many losses. But u will go down and remembered as one of the best of all time. I think u got big in the 2000s and been going strong ever since. We love u Lewis and we’re all here for u.

[@BrianPeloso-ln4ry]

I'm smart and funny too at least my ego tells me so but ...the best jokes...the greatest insights...that I possess...come from great minds like you..I have to plagiarize in order to sound sane...so please keep it up. Love what you do...and your buddies...make me envious. ✌️🇨🇦🙏 Grateful.

[@vacbrewernut]

So much LOVE and respect.

[@scottkaercher1733]

Im sorry to hear about your brother. I lost my baby brother in a car accident then 2 years later i lost my dad to cancer. I'll always be heart broken and thats a pain that never leaves. Ya feel all alone and wonder why their gone so soon. Again im sorry i know what your going through. 😢😢😢😢😢😢

I lost my Mother last year and in between crying prayers, your rants really helped save my life and my sanity. I'll never forget that you were the first and last part of those agonizing days. You are a true treasure and may your dear beloved Mother never leave your side 💔❤️‍🔥❤️‍🩹🙏

Take a break from the celebration because your alone do what you need to.i hope you understand we all love you and that your not alone. Ps your always invited to the cookout.

[@ThePMcDonald]

47:30 - "Listen to how SPECTACULAR the silence is ..." - I LOVED THAT!!!!! If people knew a bare minimum about WHATEVER they reject as "un-American", MAYBE we'd ALL be MUCH. BETTER. OFF. Full disclosure -- I am a refugee from the cesspool south of the Yulee, having wasted TWELVE YEARS there to be closer to family ... it in no way resembles the "fantasy" that my father chased when he moved my mom & siblings down there in 1984 (as I stayed "home" awaiting departure to boot camp) and it only GETS. WORSE. Whether due to the carpetbaggers or the retirees or the native-born, it DOES. NOT. MATTER. TO. ME. -- Dad was an IDIOT, and I thank the stars that my wife and I escaped before destroying our marriage and/or our lives ... one son agreed with us, and has fled as well; our daughter and her fiance' are achieving realization and considering escape plans; just need to find a way to bring our other son and our daughter-in-law along, and we will BE closer to family without sinking in the Cesspool south of the Yulee ... My opinion, and I am ENTITLED to it, if ONLY because I gave TWENTY YEARS to this nation while watching reality unravel due to INSANITY and IGNORANCE ... /s/ USMC (Retired)

[@patriciamurfitt4590]

When I first saw you pull out the rubber chicken, I thought that I knew what you meant. Probably actually have several levels of reasoning for our chicken friend. All hail the rubber chicken 🐓

[@donjaeger2149]

[@infirmedwarishell6318]

If the rubber chicken recovers I want him in the show.

[@DanEaton73]

The chicken has got to stay. The opening few seconds are an adorable, psychotic palate-cleanser. If I get no laughs during the entire thing, there is always a fond smile and appreciation for the crazy-ass chicken conversations. It would be lazy and hackneyed if you didn't elevate what is obviously dubious. It's a smart stupid. Now a whoopie cushion or spamming a soundbank, that's truly where garbage lives. ChickenForLife, my man!

You should visit Kathleen. I am sorry to hear your brother died. May the memories be a blessing.

[@christopherbramwell8262]

OMG. I really like parts of this interview with Jerry Seinfeld & Eddie Murphy. Other parts I just LOVE. Because Eddie is 100% GENUINE and Jerry is VERY INSIGHTFUL. A CANDID interview with good questions from the "facilitator" that Eddie answered, again genuinely. Seinfeld is just experienced with stand-up and he reveals some of the components. Actually, he reveals more of the nuances in other interviews. Yes, two of the best stand-up ever. Maybe THE TWO BEST. My last mention is giving a tribute to Red Foxx. I understand that he was quite crude during stand-up but the character he played on Sanford & Son was hilarious. Again, EDDIE AND JERRY. TWO GIANTS.😅

I remember asking in the past for more rubber chicken than there usually is. He's great. It's hard for me to not want to ignore the troll guy. Just print out what he said and take a video of the outside of the bathroom door. Start recording right before you flush the toilet and then flush, sing or hum something, and come out of the the bathroom saying I just wiped my ass with that. Sorry I have no proof for him.

[@jameskirschling7887]

Lewis please keep the Rubber Chicken. I don't know if this is the reason you use the Rubber Chicken but I always take it as a representation of the people on the far end of both sides. You know, those people who squawk about every little thing that annoys them, I believe Mr. Ritis is in one of those groups, that the media makes look like the majority of the population. This is for Mr. Arthur Ritis, if you don't like the Rubber Chicken portion of the Rantcast USE THE FAST FORWARD OPTION!!!!!
