#Charlottesville #Top25

[@alanwallace4413]

The man could walk on stage and just read the ad circulars from the Sunday paper for an hour and it would be hilarious. "You're all represented here tonight." Classic.

[@amourah2003]

This remains, to this day, one of the best comedy bits I’ve ever seen. As off the cuff as it is, it’s so brilliantly constructed. Each moment has a different beat, it builds seamlessly, and man is this man hilarious. I never stop coming back to this.

[@davidwillis1435]

In this day and age of covid ,unsettling elections, etc,it's so refreshing to have Lewis Black. He has me laughing constantly. I've quit watching any and all news , and spend my time with Lewis Black. This man is a national treasure and should have a monument some place dedicated to his ability to cheer up the country at a time they need it most.

[@samiam619]

Just think what George Carlin could have done with tRump…

[@dennismetzger9287]

Me aswell, im so happy that basically since the late 90s Lewis has constantly been comming out and pushing out great content.

[@koogleyou557]

Louis Black you are my therapy. I laugh every time.

[@2010Baldy]

Even if I've seen it a dozens of times. Have a good Week Koogle You 🎈

[@timothyhulbert8336]

This was funny. Lewis is a real hoot. But the list did not come from our Chamber, for whom I work. We do not produce such a list; perhaps we should. I guess it came from our community's visitors' center. I enjoyed the piece and the show. Way to go Lewis!

[@monicasimons7541]

Lewis Black helps me become better at “RANTING”!!!!

[@reneeparker7475]

My hometown, in which I have not lived for 33 years. The biggest entertainment around is sitting on The Mall and listening to how special the new breed believes C'ville is, when it's just like every other city, now.

[@shannonrose4678]

Spot on! 😂

[@tootsla1252]

"The Courtroom Sketches! Not Even a Video!!!"

[@bonnieinla]

Loved the inclusion of the elementary school barn dance :)

[@bonnett5463]

We need a "BLACK & WHITE" TOUR Louis Black and Ron White (double the "MAD"ness)

[@mick81406]

Thats a good pun

[@thethikboy]

It's Arthur Godfrey meets George Carlin

[@sholem_bond]

And then Charlottesville got way more exciting...and it was not a good thing.

[@musicauthority7828]

Lewis Black is a very important part of our society these days. if it weren't for him we wouldn't not be able to let off the pressure that we are under, he's brilliant. thank you so much Lewis Black.

[@maryknight4109]

Music Authority - Please be sure to watch "daylight savings time" and "peanut butter."

[@hannahmore9118]

Finally. Laughing out loud. My stress has made me quite ill this year. Nice to laugh for a change. Thank you!

[@Snarlygraph]

‘Pick your own strawberries’ had me in bits.

[@Theredtail95]

Then, they had it again!

[@cleoz9274]

Pick your strawberries, AGAIN!!!!

[@seanieboi1234]

It's a different farm! It's a different fuckin farm!!!!

[@AzRoadRunner78]

I’m still laughing over this part!!!

[@felidiusz]

Whenever I feel down, I watch this particular piece of Lewis Black. There is no way, I`m not gonna laugh in the end.

[@RR31305]

So happy you shared this. Very disappointed I wasn't able to make this weekends show

[@bluetoad2001]

this gag reaches timelessness. one for our age

[@jv-lk7bc]

um. which one?

[@aarchie8470]

Every time I watch this I almost pee myself. I live neAr cville and my wife works at UVA. This list is sooooo cville.

[@communistjesus]

+a archie " Every time I watch this I almost pee myself "

[@gray1022]

a archie I grew up outside Cville too. I’m the exact same this is SOOOOOOOOOO familiar haha

[@larrybass370]

The sad thing is I grew up in Nelson Co. where most of the breweries are and Wintergreen is at.

[@thedudegrowsfood284]

Beer and Loafing in Charlottesville. Same as it ever was. The Smug and the Sheltered.

[@chriswinkler284]

Beer and Loafing in Charlottesville sounds like an alternate reality to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...Good call =)

[@sunnytaylor9827]

Shout out to beautiful Nelson County! Three of the top five things to do in Charlottesville were actually in Nelson. Let's give credit where it's due. Come on out to the country and visit with us.

[@TheColonelKlink]

Somebody get these drunken beer soaked tourists out of the strawberries!

[@Indysme]

I wish I could up vote this more, as I was laughing so hard I snorted….with tears…. lol

[@lindacarter4498]

Never stop laughing at Lewis!

[@ogersteiner]

Holy Shit ....I can't stop laughing!!!

[@tomcartwright7134]

Lewis Black is the voice of a million old guys who are just f# cking fed up with stupidity. Thank you Mr. Black, I have been heard.

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

For those here that commented "He's not funny ...". He IS funny, the problem is YOU.

[@hopsta5628]

@CMG no, Old Man From Scene Twenty Four is correct and those lacking a sense of humor are the problem and they should stick to watching the Whitehouse press briefings or Fox propaganda services.

[@antediluvianatheist5262]

@@hopsta5628 Nope. Humour is taste. There is no right or wrong. All you can say is 'more people agree with me.' If they do.

[@marcddailey]

@@hopsta5628 They say the sense of humor is last in the human development phase. Please excuse CMG, F him hard!

[@mick81406]

@CMG are YOU sure that ur not on drugs?

[@crowfoot7355]

Wonder why humorless trolls are here.

[@lindacarter4498]

I love each comment on all 25! He's after a DJ! Let's go pick our own strawberries!

[@TheNefastor]

Imagine if he was a politician 🤣

[@earlofsmeg]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 In Congress. That would be festive.

[@TarHeelForevah]

Al Franken 👍

[@zlinedavid]

I’d vote for him. Fuck, I’d move just to vote for him.

[@bgorman1996]

so funny I actually cried

[@tootsla1252]

Brendan Gorman Me, too! He makes me double over laughing - every time! Especially when he shakes his head and his jowls make that indescribable noise. Kills me!

[@gwenfooteprints]

He would be great for making announcements on voice mail or for city events announcments. Love it!

[@charleshawkins4486]

Such a great comedian,i feel the frustration because i live in CH'VILLE. He just explained how it is here and doesnt know it.

[@melvinmccarthy9986]

charles hawkins I live in C’Ville too

[@billrobbins5874]

Heard it's pretty there.

[@carolhart9812]

You're my #1, Lewis, of course I'm old and can't afford to see you. But I enjoy you everyday on You Tube and you delight me everytime God love you, kid!!🤣😆❣

[@byronp2311]

You should play Austin. You'd adore the Paramount Theater. Vaudville time. Beautiful place. Houdini played there, Mr. Warmth, Don Rickles was there before he passed. Hell, even I was on the stage once. 'Course, there was no one in the theater. Janitor had a key and thought we could practice there. Cool memory. Kinda got the guy fired tho....

[@peterk8909]

I'd have to spend much time at Wild Wolf before doing anything on this list with the exception of seeing Lewis Black...brilliant, as always!

[@interstate366]

Sadly Wild Wolf closed a couple years ago.

[@elmakarov]

I would've chosen number 25 as well. And even if I was 4 months older, and officially old enough to drink at some of the beer and alcohol related events, I still would've picked number 25.

[@Tracymmo]

+The Angry Sports Fan You're a legal drinker now. Would you still pick 25?

[@elmakarov]

Probably. I'd hit a bar afterwards.

[@elmakarov]

"Of course another Alcohol Fuck Pavilion." That's the point where I lost it!! HAhahahaha!!

[@wchambers3849]

Can you imagine Lewis Black as an airport voice announcer? "Hurry up before you miss your f-ing plane...at gate 2!"

[@harryrosson9499]

living in charlottesville, I can see myself doing that stuff.

[@jv-lk7bc]

get out of there. go now, before its too late.

[@sameingb110]

"Someone" is in a BAD MOOD in Charlottesville 😠 But if Louis was happy, there'd be NO SHOW

[@earlofsmeg]

I think he was really pissed.

[@dieselwalter]

A win-win: some great Lewis ranting for we fans; some free (?) advertising for all those ranted about. Like the Jon Stewart-Arby's schtick.

[@RandomStranger246]

This may be my all-time favourite bit by Lew! 😁

[@MeanBeanKerosene]

The odd thing is that I'd like to do pretty much all of those things; especially Ida Dengrove's sketches and the symposium.

[@CS-pi5oc]

I drove five miles to see Lewis B. at the same venue on Long Island, NY. He wore dark suits. I sat center table once and once stage left. I now think we gotz uh bond. I now live in Norwood, MA & would love to see him at the local theatre. I can walk there. The only gig in town is a meat raffle & car dealerships galore. Help!!

[@carolcase3321]

This one chapped my butt off!!!! LMAO

[@lwblack64]

Essential tremors are a pain. I know. I have them too...

[@michelmadaire6086]

the 25th one is the BEST Lewis. lol

[@communistjesus]

+Michel Madaire As Lewis Black followers, !!!!WE SHOULD DEMAND AN F*** ing RECOUNT!!!!... The entire thing was RIGGED by the LOCAL ALCOHOLICS who made the list..

[@jv-lk7bc]

I'm sure he feels very complimented.

[@sandravanopbergen]

So funny thank you Sir Lewis..........

[@dottimerritt9306]

My little rant was for the virile ran I heard a moment ago!! Having trouble with my effing fingers! Laughing!

[@nigeldeforrest-pearce8084]

Pure Genius!!!!

[@markskifairer5756]

This is hilarious!

[@ShannonJacobs0]

Interesting that this video was made before the "both sides" ruckus. What called this town to his attention at that time?

[@absentmindedprof]

I haven't laughed this hard since George Bush Sr. Barfed all over Japan's prime minister.

[@tootsla1252]

absentmindedprof 😂😂😂😂👍

[@ohmyblindman]

yeah, that was epic.

[@bobobeeper2]

To be fair, I’d choose number 25 too.

[@lindacarter4498]

I can't even pronounce this so I'm not...! 😂

[@F417H]

thank you :)(:

[@Matt913]

I was standing up. I heard Lewis Black scream "Pick your own strawberries-ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME?!?" I fell down laughing.

[@tamonsmith8538]

I live in Charlottesville and yeah that about sums it up. Beer, that’s it.

[@silascochran9705]

He sounds like me when I first wake up except he's like this all the time🤣👍

[@IronButterfly1023]

I don't remember when I laughed this hard.

[@genelomas332]

I'd choose number 25 too.. :)

[@Augmuse]

A list no one asked for but a list we all need somehow. I agree that Lewis Black is a National Treasure.

[@cfields813]

When you start at the bottom of the list, things can only go down.

[@dildonicplague]

Best lewis ive seen in a long time. Epic.

[@azimuthkaos9661]

There was one in there that definitely seemed like a winner... can you guess which... (winky smiley face)

[@Shinnyuu2]

I’d actually like to try picking my own strawberries 🍓

[@BryceBRussell]

is the 26th sit at home and enjoy a beer?

[@38ddkelly]

No. I think it's something down at the Wild Wolf.

[@AhmedEtman79]

Not just a beer, a beer celebrating American craft beer week.

[@infinitebuzz]

I'd pick 25 every time! And I love beer

[@sisken12]

The beer is for washing down the strawberries…a lot.

[@pupperella1960]

Love Lewis Black da best

[@martialme84]

National treasure. Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. National FUCKING Treasure!!!

[@aureliusva]

He forgot the downtown torchlight tour.

[@dianekirse2122]

I expect Lewis to have a heart attack any minute

[@williamleather500]

Lewis is a Gem . . . . . a top notch act. . .

[@chrismichaels100]

Funny stuff!

[@robkunkel8833]

Seriously, why is he funny? Lewis Black has a way of building the audience to capture his “frustration” at things. He, of course, isn’t really angry to the extent that it is anything other than comedic timing he has use for a very long time. It’s almost like a one man Laurel and Hardy. Life is Laurel and Lewis is Hardy being made at it. ♥️Louis Black.

[@robkunkel8833]

OMG, if he read this in his stand up, I’d be devastated. It would be the worst thing ever to happen in my life ... other than parental deaths.

[@michaelgill2105]
