Lewis Black's Rantcast

[@blackscreenstories3704]

I still can't believe the amazing Lewis Black read one of my rants on air..... It was like an artist hearing one of their songs on the radio for the 1st time.. Lewis you inspire so many peoples funny bones. thank you😊

[@p5rsona]

seeing your take on the current insanity is a great remedy.

[@archaicsoul4597]

Thanks to you and Madigan for informing people about the library defund. Apprently you two have way more reach than whatever news outlet actually reported it

[@EpicJasonX9000]

I don't know about charm or wit, but your comedy is definitely funny, intelligent, and logical, which is why I love comedians such as George Carlin, Jon Stewart, and even Steve Hughes. it's because of comedians such as yourself that allowed me to think more critically and question both authority as well as the madness in our society that we're constantly surrounded by. you have been a major influence on my life, and I wish more people would be more like you and the comedians like Carlin to keep that flame going and teach the younger generations to start thinking, questioning everything and everyone, and to use that anger in a useful manner.

American liberals are so marvellously ineffectual.

[@EpicJasonX9000]

@@paulclissold1525 except I’m not a liberal you fucking idiot! Nothing I said was a political statement nor was it liberal in in any form of context. So, you can fuck off with your dumbass liberal horseshit!

[@SharynCollins-gi1le]

All I can say is touché great thank you for your post. Epic Jason X9000.

[@andreawalker7138]

I've been enjoying watching your specials on KZbin. Thank you for making your material available to us to watch again.

[@Styphon]

I used to love seeing Mark's specials on PBS, even from Canada. There were never enough.

[@esmerelda6003]

Thank you Lewis - love how you look at life.

[@loranv3435]

THANKS FOR SHARING.

[@EpicJasonX9000]

hopefully I'll be there. coincidentally, that will be 4 days after my father's birthday. which we went to your show at the Warner Theater years ago back in 2018 which I treated my father to dinner before hand for his birthday that year before we saw the show. when we used to live in Maryland, we used to listen to parts of your cd's when grocery shopping. sadly those days are gone. but, despite now living in Texas I'd love to see another live show with my father again.

[@IIBNG76]

I might have some good news for you then, "The chief Senate budget writer said he plans to restore state funding for Missouri’s public libraries that was stripped out of the House version of the state’s spending plan.".

[@kathleentucker1238]

Lewis uses comedy to highlight the events in our world. Wish he visit libraries and read funny children's books 😂

[@kimberlywpb]

As the daughter of the sixth man on the moon, I’m bursting with pride listening to your wisdom. I’ve been enamored by you for decades, Daily Show and more. Here’s a quote that remains my fave from my dad, as he tried explaining what he experienced traveling to the moon and back. You would have liked my dad, for sure. And he, you. “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’” - Edgar Mitchell, Lunar Module Pilot, Apollo 14 🚀

[@garygraham2513]

One of my all time favorite comedy lines comes from Mark Russell. Talking about an upcoming General Election, and right after both Conventions had finished he said, "Well folks, here we are again, stuck with the choice between the Evils of 2 lessors"....so accurate.

[@Huneidu]

I still miss the rubber chicken, hope you get a week of hosting The Daily Show.

[@dangerouslysane]

Thank you for honoring Mark Russell, Lewis. He was a class act and will be missed. You are correct-Mark Russell had the gift of being able to very sweetly cut down a fool. Some folks could just drown you in the milk of human kindness. May he rest in peace.

[@hemeoncn]

I too love to watch and hear Mark Russell as he spoke truth to the political elite. My condolences to you Lewis.

[@suzannahirwin7165]

How do we keep stupidity from winning? Defunding libraries? Come on!

[@htopherollem649]

your special is just that; special!!! thank you Lewis ❤

[@kathleentucker1238]

I suggest that parents go WITH their children to the library, and maybe they could get an education too!

[@Dr_Philknows]

we love you Lew

[@suzannahirwin7165]

Lewis is spot-on with Tunica, Las Vegas of the Ozarks. Only casino experience I've ever had. I wandered out into the daylight after playing slots all night, a woman in a wheelchair with a freshly amputated leg was outside taking a smoke break. How did I know her leg was recently amputated? Her stump was undressed and still had metal staples along the incision line.

[@reneeelias9514]

Badam bam!

[@JazTrance]

Mark Russell passed?? Omg 😢 Not a single word about him in the news. I saw him live when I lived in Alexandria and used to watch all his specials on TV. He was just great. We've lost a legend.

[@joanclawser5990]

I’m getting a cowgirl outfit for the roundup! 🤠 I am encouraged by your calling out the discriminatory and autocratic decisions we’ve seen lately. It helps me feel like I’m not crazy! Take care and have fun. BTW oysters = months with an R. So, April is fine😊

[@iamanomas]

I remember him too. He was brilliant. Both of them. Look them up folks. History and music.

[@CCampana64]

Met you in Manhattan before the daily show when Jon hosted great show

[@quinn-tessential3232]

Well, that issue with the TN legislature is typical of modern American politics. Democratic legislators shouting their protests loudly and inappropriately with the legislative chamber, and Republicans equally inappropriately expelling them from the legislature. Both sides think they're right. Both are wrong. In terms of guns, it's insane that anyone believes private citizens should have access to weapons of war. Insane. Gun control is a must for any civilized society. I guess we don't live in one of those.

[@textureweb]

Thanks for the future rant/ May 2/23

[@suzannahirwin7165]

Lewis, there is also a Yell County Arkansas. Surprisingly, Yelleville is in Marion county.. FYI, Yelleville is close to Flippen, Arkansas. No shit.

[@dccyo444]

Turkey trots is a symptom of bird flue, Ha!

[@desi4227]

Looking forward to the special!🥳🤗

[@johntanner1579]

some want representation others just want a ruler

[@silverknight6831]

My public library is we're I discovered philosophy, the idea that thoughts and thinking should be examined and understand.

[@Ch33ziTzsk8R]

I liked Cracker Barrel till I went to Georgia and when I ordered chicken tenders… it was cooked in catfish oil so the look and feel of chicken but tastes like fish… and I said NOPE!

[@Jen7867]

I'm so happy to hear from you, Lewis. Thanks so much to your YT team - These Rantcasts bring us so much joy. Sadly I had not heard of Mark Russell until you mentioned him - but if he makes fun of everyone in politics, then he sounds like my kind of satirist! I'll be sure to check out his work. My love goes out to his friends and family. ❤ Take care of yourself while you're out on the road, Lewis! And have a great time. 🤗

[@ingridwheeler3180]

Mark Russell was the precursor to our beloved satirical Capitol Steps, who were unfortunately aged out by the Covid Shutdown. ( No judgment) The new incarnation is "The Reflecting Fools," and I look forward to seeing them soon!

[@aysada]

The thing that pisses me off the most about parents wanting books banned because they’re worried about what their kids will be exposed to. Is that those same people are the ones who have TikTok accounts open for their children

[@BrandonOsborn404]

the first I've heard - condolences to his family - we have truly lost a great mind and wit

[@kenbranaugh8251]

Omg so sad . Huge loss.

[@feliciaschneider77]

I was pretty sure I knew what day it was today I just bought tires and the receipt says 4-12-23, am I living in the past?

[@bobwoww8384]

I’m sure Miss Kathleen was pleased to learn at least two people from Missouri (probably more,) represent intelligence.

[@acenasty1298]

Thanks for not shiting on Canada Lewis

[@dannyratliff1847]

Mister Black : To the far left of your mom and dads picture there is a picture that I would like to know just what it is? .....I have tried to blow it up but can not make out what it is ,.can you please inform me please.

[@1tsrhodes]

I did a deep dive on Tom Lehrer after Lewis mentions him. The guy's a genius. No idea how he got away with some of his stuff

[@reneeelias9514]

Gotta remove the Bible. Lotta sexual content in there.

[@davidg813]

I'm for hi, controls and I'm all for the background checks and all that but in New York State our governor has gone overboard. Now you can't even buy a semi-automatic hunting rifle it only holds five rounds or a semi-automatic shotgun that only holds up to maybe three or four rounds without havi,g to register it, Where does it end ,what's next Banning bulle?

[@ShannonJacobs0]

Gosh, I HATE those Amazon ads.

[@Henry-teach-Chinese-in-jokes]

I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture. My native language is Chinese. I teach Chinese in humorous way and with cute pictures. Hope somebody recommend my videos to those who want to learn Chinese.

[@kathleentucker1238]

I’ll be waiting 😼💊

Did I hear that 1200 people a day are moving to Florida? Do the math!

[@adamberg2736]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! I'm watching from youtube!!

[@549BR]

If you didn't appreciate Mark's cutting humor, you were one of the dummies he was referencing. 😎 As if we haven't polluted this planet enough, now we're leaving our trash on the Moon and Mars.

Why would you think Trump is cheating at golf? Lord knows during his presidency he hardly did anything but f around and practice his golf swing

[@TamTran-vw7zm]

Im a long term follower of you from the Daily Show, and im with you 100%--except--as much as you both-sides the two parties, you almost always use as your gripes things the right has done. I done love either party, but in this fight i have to come down on the side of our democracy, and real policy change for the betterment of all americans, rather than the course of revenge set upon by the republicans. And their only solution is to cut social programs that people need, and social security/medicare/ Medicaid. Please lambaste the dems for their faults (which are many, especially for being invertebrates too attached to the status quo) but dont toss them into the pot with massive scandals, threatening to destroy our financial standing in the world if they dont get their way, and refusing to negotiate many, many bills even after being solicited. All crime is not equal.
