There are levels in any game. So funny, effortless and filled with truth of human nature. Watched this six times. Rest in peace. Philosopher King.

[@hippiesusesidedoor191]

Timeless. Epic. Unbelievable. I am in awe by his independence and raw, unwavering stance against commercial comedy. This is his Magnus Opus, his cosmic and eternal gift to our shitty little comedy world. So underrated, but not forgotten. Enjoy this man's final gift to us mere mortals. REST IN PEACE PATRICE

One of the absolute GOATS, that fishing bit is still one of the best ever.

[@AndrewBarsky]

He made it look effortless. He was a man who was a philosopher who had a sense of humor. Just like they said on O&A he was JUST about to “make it” on his own terms. God himself decided he needed a laugh, and he needed it bad. RIP

[@torianj37]

Thank you for this comment. I couldn't understand why he would take patreeky from us so soon. I'm going on 30 and I've been listening to this guy for years. Came back to see this one more time. Salute to you brother

[@usiltond]

Richard Pryor and George Carlin will always be on top of my list (they truly changed comedy) Dave Chapelle rounds out my top 3. That being said, this is my all time favorite set… just nonstop laughs that lead to tears!!!! I wish he was around longer, he was so talented and would have so much more material to work with! No RIP to one of the greatest of all time!

[@JohnStockton7459]

Carlin insanely overrated. People who saw him live in that era never thought of him like you internet reddit carlin lovers do now. He genuinely is so overrated, the most basic, low IQ bits of all time. People think theyre smart when theyre a fan of George Carlin, couldnt be further from the truth.

[@DamnAwesome]

God damn Patrice is so damn funny, I wish he was still alive today to keep making people laugh!

[@RizZy28]

Gotta be one of the best comedy specials ever, the first five minutes are pure gold. RIP Legend.

2024 . Just came back to watch one the best to ever touch a mic . R.I.P

[@garethmarshall7724]

12 years on and it’s still an absolute classic. Patrice was unique and if he were with us today he’d be so famous (or cancelled!) it would be unreal! I watch this special a couple of times every year, I know parts of it word for word but still keep coming back because despite the hilarity of the act, the messages Patrice subtly spreads resonate with me so much. A true legend, rest in peace brother.

[@AndrewBarsky]

You can’t cancel someone like Patrice. He’d tell them to eat ass and he’d just keep doing him.

The best stand-up special I have ever seen !!! I love being able to re-visit greatness!!

[@jiiig8667]

The "Killing Is Easy" documentary is must watch. ❤ Thanks for posting this. I think this album greatly captures comedy for kids growing up through the 80s and 90s. Patrice is the Godfather. RIP ❤❤

[@birthdaysk1]

Just heard him on a radio show, & he said his lady is the one who wrote and performs on the guitar during the intro Thats hard

[@andrewspicecake]

The simple fact that way back in 2011, his special ran longer than 70 min should tell you something 😎

[@samuelcohen2362]

The greatest stand up comedian and the greatest stand up routine. I never thought I could miss someone I never met 😢 Edit: Patrice helped me become a man beyond the grave through his archived advice.

Every time I watch this I keep checking to see how much time is left. Never want it to end. I know it’s the last video stand up of him and it’s just heartbreaking.

Greatest performance I've seen by a comedian

[@BigDome1]

If Patrice was here today, our culture would probably be very different to how it is. It's amazingly powerful to have someone calling everybody (including themselves) out on their bullshit. We don't have anybody doing that nowadays like he did back then. A huge loss and such a funny guy.

[@Humungojerry]

hahaha no dude

from the time he walks out till the time he ends the show nothing but bangers, this dude was crazy hilarious! R.I.P big homie!

🐘=🐐 translation: Patrice O’Neal is the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time)

[@Somefrostybeverage]

I have to say, the fact that Patrice saw that "looking up with the hat" part as a douchechill moment made me love him even more. It looked so great, so awesome, but he hated it. Seeing a man who is absolutely amazing, but still self-aware and self-conscious is amazing. Wish that fucker was still around.

[@monkmodementor]

Randomly decided to watch this during my vacation after a while. Wanted to take a second to share appreciation for the prophet of game. God bless you Patrice. Hopefully meet you someday in Heaven, I'm sure Father received you well. Amen.

[@cnf241500]

I'm on here because the uploaded video that had the most views had thier comments turned off. I'm here to say that if there was anyone that I wish was still alive in the comedic community it would be this man. I love him to the core because he never held his tongue and always told the truth. He stood up for what it really was wether you liked to hear the truth or not. He is a legend and he will be forever missed and the fact that he is missing on all this new wave of raunchy comedy coming from the Midwest and Joe Rogan and Kill Tony and just podcast in general. It's a damn shame because he is and was a legend amongst his peers in this type of comedy. God I love this man. God bless him and his brain. ❤

[@marleybando4212]

We miss you out here family. You’re one of the greatest comedians this 🌍 has ever seen and I know your spirit is forever ascending. You passed on my birthday and I remember seeing this special years ago as a youngin, didn’t think you’d be gone so soon a the time. Long live Patrice O’Neal 🕊️🏆🙌🏽🫡

Regardless of how many times I watch this it just gets better and better! Literally he did not have any sort of chilled moment where it was not that funny! Every line just kept hitting and hitting! No way in hell are Chris rock, Chappell or Kevin hart even close to this level and they know it also! Absolute genius!! Metaphor after funny metaphor just wooow!! And I’ve recently been diagnosed at 40 years old with type 1 diabetes so this hits hard for me also, considering he died of it. Smh Legend, we miss you bro!!🙏❤️
