Lewis Black Stand-Up

He's hilarious and he is right about colonoscopies. The best sleep of my life. I'm pretty sure when I woke up I told the anesthesiologist that I loved him. I definately told one of the nurses that I loved her. I may have told a piece of hospital equipment that I loved him, too.

[@salamanca1954]

So true!

[@gorillaguy1000]

Gosh all those f-bombs he had to get rid of haha the struggle is real

[@this_site_cant_be_reached]

A Lewis Black set without "fuck" just doesn't feel quite right...

[@AlexisColeman]

"the siege of Stalingrad" LOLOLOLOL

[@MrNotThatFamous]

"say fuck, SAY FUCK", lewis fans will get it XD

[@KategariYami]

Fuck fuck fuck, fuck fuck fuck, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! Just say fuck! He said fuck! You can say fuck too!!!

[@TheFingledorf]

Paul Wolfowitz ran up to hug his parents, and it was the creepiest moment of their lives.

[@fahnfieldfilms]

Quite possibly the best 5 minutes of network late night stand up I’ve ever seen. Hilarious!

[@LauraCrest]

I LOVE Lewis Black!!!

[@gustomobalot]

Jimmy Fallon should invite more stand-up comedians! This is awesome :)

[@SuperFuzzNutts]

Soooo accurate! When I woke up, I asked how long I was out for. They told me 20 minutes. I felt like a new man. Like a high I'll never feel again.

[@LJY08]

Anaesthetic is the shit! I've had it twice and never felt better in my life when I woke up 😃

[@JRibs]

His delivery is very original and well thought out. Not my favorite bit of his, but the man is one of America's best comics alive.

[@salamanca1954]

I have been through 2 colonoscopies, and it's my favorite bit ever.

[@JPumpkinKing]

Friday's show was GREAT! Lewis was really funny. The colonoscopy bit had me rolling! Funny stuff.

[@joshvasquez3898]

I laughed so much watching this routine. You don't know until you've been there.

[@mariebrom7327]

LOL! "The sleep angels", very funny act.

[@mustardsfire22]

Still one of the funniest human beings of all time!

[@kasnitch]

I'm not used to laughing so much before my first coffee is done. I have lived with Crohn's for 35 years, and this was hilarious. For the bonus level, have a feast of Taco Bell before the guzzling of the "Oral Fleet", smoke a joint and try to relax. :) Up here in Canada, when I had my plumbing "inspected" by this procedure, they gave me a valium, a computer monitor to watch the video, and a new appreciation for magic, since I never thought 9 feet of what looked to be 3/8" cable could disappear into my colon.

[@markus3533]

literally spat coffee on my keyboard reading this. thanks for the chuckle mate

[@Voular]

He's good. Get more people like Lewis on the show.

[@mattbrauner8529]

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying lmaoo

[@dridadbunkerphd6523]

The string of pearls had me LOL.

[@ANDUAN93]

Hahaha I love Lewis Black!!!

[@jarrodhroberson]

I vote Lewis Black to take up the slot that Andy Rooney used to have on 60 minutes!

[@wardoc0435]

I think that that's a fantastic idea.

[@picklepoe4480]

I like his ranting style!

[@donnazasgoat2274]

That propofol is great stuff. I felt so refreshed.

[@Michellethompson5231]

I love Lewis Black!! He’s brutally honest & so hilarious!!

[@benrobertstv5695]

I love his rage!

[@thew60]

Lewis Black is by far my favorite comic. He is however much better when unedited as he has the most creative use of profanity in his routines.

[@timchester6869]

Do i look like a skipper!

[@notdotdw]

THERE'S AN EASIER TEST THAT CAN BE DONE BY MAIL.

[@jonssyy]

Love him! Come to Ohio Lewis!!

[@HCPACstage]

And Harrisburg, PA!

[@redhead5150]

Lewis Black is awesome !!!! Tells it like it is !!!

[@yohanson7097]

Lewis Black is the best! Cant wait to see him in Albany

[@flatulatingmarmoset]

Bwhahahaha! Lewis Black always is hilarious.

[@zepcrazyfre]

I love this man.

[@koizumiayumu4946]

How the hell did they get Lewis Black?? I love him!

[@pd39aol]

My first one, at age 55 more than 20 years ago, was the best. I was positioned on the table on my left side, put in a semi-conscious happy state, the doc stood behind me and did her thing. I was able to watch the procedure as it explored inside my colon. It looked remarkably like the Star Trek episode Day of the Triffids, where everybody was running thru a cave and the ballon "rocks" were moving in the passing breeze. It was over in a few minutes. The worst part was when she injected air into my colon to expand it so the camera could move freely, the best part was seeing what she was seeing and being able to talk with her and ask questions and understand her explanation as she was going thru the steps of the procedure. Until you can actually see what they are talking about, it's just so many words without pictures.

[@MeisterofAwesome]

Is he the guy who was the bug professor in The Big Bang Theory?

[@scorchat]

Yes he was

[@stevemandl5140]

i remember watching this when it actually aired

[@m2to653]

Hilarious as *uck! xD And yes, the procedure is as described...

[@abbykimmes9457]

Pulp Fiction reference For the WIN!! LOL

[@chasehampton7954]

Dat was da best movie Eva!

[@Debb_J]

I love Sleep Heaven :)

[@TheGmoney4980]

Legend.

[@MetallicaBand2]

I thought he was Al Franken at first. Funny stuff.

[@Gvantsa]

Sounds like a really awesome sleep

[@tracylester116]

The bad thing it"s all true!

[@neon-tv9ie]

He looks more like a Gilligan than a Skipper to me....

[@HCPACstage]

You hit the nail on the head!

[@ericbwertz]

Vinay sent me. Glad to be back here.

[@sandycracco8466]

Thank you, the King of well-spoken sarcastic common sense...too bad he's not in government that POS would actually help our country.

[@frostychickenprods]

colbert's latest book basically has the same joke but about the high colonic. Also, Lewis is the only comedian other than myself who has used the "God, why hast thou forsaken me" in a bit

[@cellgrrl]

Dave Barry had a similar commentary, which agrees with Lewis on the "prep". But he did say that the best part of it is that they give you really great drugs. I guess that will keep you coming back again and again.

[@bruninhooliveira9371]

This is the best honor we could get of our speciality. We just try to do our best, in the worst time of others. And it works! Lol. As an Anesthesiologist, I'm REALLY happy. As I'm usually. Most of people we care of, even remember our names. Is it good? Oh, no! But they don't remember pain, unconfort as an ambarrassment for procedure. Far away, in Brazil, I'm proud. Anesthesiologists are the "men of your dreams". Search, and trust the best.

[@greimalkin]

Wish someone had said that to me about my cat scan liquid. Would have made it more fun to drink

[@EnzroGreenidge]

awesome

[@momopclucid]

AWESOME

[@BlueScr33nCorp]

Hey.. I'm from France. :(

[@nonchalantd]

As an American, I've never understood anti France jokes.

[@jerseygrl5]

For the record I'm an American and I like France.

[@jaysonpietz175]

Im American and my dream is to go to France! I'm even learning it

[@BioHazard634]

Taylor Liuba By the way, you're*, sorry...

[@chaddamewood9840]

Just realized no one likes you?

[@kel5944]

I've had it done twice. The first time was fine except the prep. The second time, I found out I can't handle fentanyl. When I woke up I got sick and puked and dry heaved over and over while still drugged and with an empty stomach. Not fun.

[@iamnormal8648]

5:08 Very respectful. I didn't know Westerners still had such form of respect for their elders.

[@cackschtool]

Classic...

[@JoanJniece]

He was sooooo funny

[@malekbohsali4285]

I love France!!

[@jmgonzalez4]

Lewis Black is a legendary comedian famous for yelling his punchlines and being grnerally stressed and seething on stage. Ideally Sam Kinison would have been Anger -- nobody screamed more as a comedian. He screamed! And his voice was so unique and gritty. Sadly gone too young, like Chris Farley. But Lewis Black made so much sense for the role.

[@martygould5114]

I've actually read Ulysses. Not an easy read.

[@derekyee5001]

wow i understand what you mean "cough"

[@AbhilashMirji]

Jimmy should get Reggie Watts to perform!

[@ezrafastman5455]

who here in 2021?

[@JoseEllen1]

LOL

[@MeyzaMusic]

Great

[@DEO777]

sounds like a laugh track. Does The Tonight Show think we're idiots?

[@TheFingledorf]

Honestly I think it's real, because I almost /never/ laugh at stand-up comedians, comedy movies, Family Guy, hardly anything that's suppose to be funny, yet I find Lewis to be *really* funny. And if I actually find him funny, my guess is people who actually laugh at Jim Carrey movies may find him hysterical.

[@DEO777]

TheFingledorf I don't see any intersection in a Jim Carrey and Lewis Black fan Venn diagram.

[@dkhadouken8383]

I will never forget when Lewis Black saw the end of the world.

[@eblalgen]

Bow down, Jimmy.

[@frostychickenprods]

try the humiliation i had of at age 17 being 260 fucking pounds and needing a colonoscopy

[@maddyperezstan]

Funny dude

[@noelsturrup3817]

I agree. The night before is a bitch. No eating except clear liquids. #Colonoscopy

[@frostychickenprods]

he's starting to look like robert klein

[@weman4000]

Was i supposed to laugh can i have 5 minutes of my life back? this is poor maybe my standards are too high British comedians just seem to have such stronger acts, and no i do have a good sense of humour and i do like American comedians Jimmy Fallon being one of the best out of the lot.

[@michaelmappin4425]

Thank you. Not funny.

[@heartwisdomlove]

Lewis check out gutsense.org yes the liquid you drink before a colonoscopy is the same chemical used by painters to clean walls in preparation for fresh paint the better solution for colon cleansing care is sonnes.com ( seven day cleanse ) also check out veirons.com and colema.com

[@musicauthority674]

Lewis Black is bad ass. it's no wonder why George Carlin approved him. the only comedian that George Carlin approved.

[@geoffreyyoung3558]

It sounds odd without him cussing.

[@LizKS48]

ROFL!!

[@johnnynewell8565]

lost me the whole time :(

[@davisrash5982]

hi

[@RonJammin]

What a sh*tty set. (

[@frostychickenprods]

his eyebrow muscles were surgically altered to make him look angry all the time. why is he too wearing the same glasses as louis ck, stephen colbert, woody allen, etc?

[@lastofmykind8]

Not funny to me.

[@TheFingledorf]

Out of curiosity, what do you find funny? Family Guy? Kevin Hart?

[@lastofmykind8]

WorstCaseOntario you should realize that comedy is subjective and one's name alone will not make me laugh.

[@lastofmykind8]

Curiosity killed TheFingledorf

[@TheFingledorf]

Well, I tried to bridge the gap. Guess it's not going to happen.

[@Lando0824]

Jokes about congress?! Get some better material Lewis Black. -_-

[@utalkin2bdm]

Legend.
