Patrice O'Neal - Elephant In The Room REACTION!! | OFFICE BLOKES REACT!!

[@TheTrillestOne]

He wasn't lying about his days being numbered. This special came out February 19, 2011 and he died on November 29, 2011. This whole special is great you'll should check out more of it.

[@shroomlord4206]

We lost a great one

One of the few dvd specials I had to actually buy

@Zsuzsanna Varga yeah bur that not giving a fuck us what made him special. Even about his own health

[@stradag21]

One of the best to ever do it! R.I.P Patrice!

[@MovieGuy808]

Patrice was one of the best to ever do it. RIP

[@robertanderson9460]

My all time favorite. The ofb would probably like his infamous Fox News clip

[@MJKFanatic]

He said "I'm 40, my days are numbered" and he died before his 42nd birthday :[

[@joshjohnson2753]

Bernie Mac talked of health issues as well a few years before his passing. It's sad, like they know they're on their way out

[@dayra6425]

@@joshjohnson2753 so did biggie and Tupac

[@joshjohnson2753]

@@dayra6425 Yeah but they were killed, and being a rapper and the lifestyle they lived, it's always a possibility. Bernie and Patrice just died of health issues both before 50

Ncooo😥 that sad he was so young, gosh!

*Patrice is the funniest person I've ever met and it's not even close.* *-Bill Burr*

[@inttrovertedmonk851]

Kevin Hart was on stage one night and Patrice threw a phone book on the stage and yelled, "READ IT!, it has better material!". He literally helped shape a few comics careers with his insight.

[@justincredible9593]

Still might be true today lol 😂

[@renx81]

The fact that Patrice was like that to other comedians tempered a lot of today's good comedians. That's a good thing.

[@isaiasguilarte]

I don't disagree. He'd hate Schulz tho

[@koosoos123]

RIP to the legend!! Such a hilarious man!

[@sheawalls5825]

With a pencil in its head lol

[@coryleopold9075]

Unfortunately i found out about my favorite comedian of all time after he had passed but luckily there is hundreds of hours archived on youtube. RIP to the funniest man to ever do it.

[@soulsimplistic]

That's the beauty of Patrice O'Neal. He was already canceled. He just didn't care, and people loved his comedy anyways.

[@AhmedzackHD]

Cancelled? Tf you mean he died in 2011! Before cancel culture!!

[@soulsimplistic]

@@AhmedzackHD No no no. Studios and gigs were actively avoiding Patrice due to his public stances and his mouth. It's why he wasn't as popular as he should have been. Basically, he was cancelled before cancelling was a thing. Loved him though.

[@jonm7888]

Who's actually cancelled?

[@dayra6425]

@@AhmedzackHD they’ve been canceling people for years .. cancel culture isn’t new .. did u just get to earth

[@AhmedzackHD]

@@soulsimplistic yeah I didn’t know that part but that’s what I meant cancel culture wasn’t a thing like it’s now

YES! please more of Elephant in the room!

Type in opie and anthony Patrice O'Neal there's hours of him dropping knowledge

[@devinewonson]

Black Phillip for the win!!!

Love the episode when he was talking about Dr Phil then came up with black Phillip on the spot. Great comedian who also spoke so much truth.

Him going at it with Louis ck was frickin brutal .. u can’t even have people listen to it cuz it goes too far .. I listen to it all the time by myself and laugh my ass off

[@KennyLM3]

@@frasefra5297 that is the bit that got me into O&A and Patrice. Everyone should check it out

[@wakawaka5131]

He carved out his own niche in the comedic world for sure. Made comedy gold out of the most mundane.

[@bboyshotty]

MORE from this special for sure..To me, this special was the perfect culmination of his genius, where it felt like he was hitting his sweet spot of comfort and wit

[@muttocycle]

There's so much patrice oneal gold. Its amazing

[@joevaldez9822]

Patrice will always hold a special place in my heart. I listen to him almost every time I'm in my car off to work or wherever when he was on this podcast type of show called The Opie and Anthony Show. We are blessed to have enough of Patrice's material out there. Could use more tho, one of the best.

[@hanaj]

He was a comic’s comic.

[@brandyperry-giotis9962]

PLEASE do Patrice's "High Quality White Women". It's HYSTERICALLY HILARIOUS!!!!

[@blaze4888]

Yes do more!!!!

[@mrdavidashley6892]

Great! The Bit about the woman and the fish, or Natalie Hollaway, they were amazing!

[@devinewonson]

Patrice, Kevin hart and Bill Burr all used to kick it in the same crew. Patrice is my favorite comedian of all time.

[@phineaspepper3530]

I have never heard him before--he's so good.

[@cobykerr8940]

Patrice built the path for these comedians that don’t give a shit about offending ppl one of the goats

[@MrVvulf]

Regarding Patrice's reputation among comics - there was an article in NY magazine titled "The Comedian Comedians Were Afraid Of". Well worth the read. Ricky Gervais, on Nov. 13 2018 answered a fan's question "Who is your favorite comedian?". He tweeted - "Patrice O'Neal".

[@emmef7970]

So many big comedians claim Patrice is the goat. Hard to argue with. :)

[@RiseOfThePhoenix30]

Thank yall sooo much for all the Patrice you can do!

[@VJHatFPC]

Patrice was a comedian whi operated off always being 100% honest with himself and philosophy, which cost him in both recognition, and money from opportunities he had but wouldve had to compromise in a little bit, he wouldn't do it. A true artist.

[@johncurtis7186]

More Patrice and more Carlin. Two of America’s finest comics ever! There are a lot more gem routines, from this “Elephant In The Room” special.

[@Re5ist_ance]

Patrice O'Neal = legend!

More of Patrice O’Neal please lol

[@stonerviking4079]

Aww man I thought it was going to be the entire special after seeing the description. Elephant in the room was the name of his entire 1hr long special

Great to see people from all over recognize Patrice's brilliance, RIP Big Man.

[@johngriff914]

Big Man really left us with his masterpiece

Rest King Patrice 👑. Dude was amazing

[@theimmortalone506]

His bit puppies in a cup from this same special is one of the greatest bits look it up

[@adventureswithjonny87]

Patrice is a legend. This standup special elephant in the room is my favorite thing he did. He is going to talk about contraversial topics and try to make it awkward and uncomfortable. Once you realize he's trying to make you feel uncomfortable then you're free to laugh your balls off.

[@ChrisDogan]

The Patrice O'Neal roast where Bill Burr goes at him, and then Patrice goes after him still makes me cry laugh everytime I see it

[@billnye2112]

elephant i the room is amazing from start to end but you especially have got to see the part in it about women/ relationships/and sport fishing. its one of the funniest comedy bits ive ever heard

[@tobe1207]

My favorite moments with him was on the radio show Opie& Anthony. There's plenty of Patrice-centric compilations made on youtube, quite easy to find. Some of my favs is him just talking about movies

[@_MOORE_1986]

Patrice O'Neal - The Nasty Show (part 1 & part 2) is a must to react to.

[@arthurbarrios888]

Thank you for checking out Patrice, he was more than just a comedian he was a philosopher and super smart

[@MS-wh5lt]

I was just thinking the other day I wish you would do something from elephant in the room! 1 of the best standup specials of all time!

[@catolfhitler]

Do other clips of elephant in the room. Also "Harassment Day"

[@Jason_Van_Stone]

lmfao , Men are grizzly bears and women are salmon hahahaha dipped in honey

[@Doughboy1027]

I would love to see someone take the time to react to what he was trying to do with the Black Phillip Show...That would take some time it be so worth it.

[@57kwest]

Rest in Power Mr. O'Neil 🙏

[@Kacholfus39]

that Special is something else.. 🙌😎

[@gabrieltrevino942]

Patrice never wanted to sell out who he was and wouldn't tap dance for TV show execs. He stayed true to himself. He was his biggest obstacle from stardom. He does have appearances on Chappelle's Show and had a recurring role in the American version of The Office.

[@jackthelad9933]

One of your best reactions. Don't worry about pausing. If you're enjoying it, we're enjoying it. Feels like we're in that shitty meeting room with you blokes :-)

[@Zenon0K]

Patrice was amazing. I didn't discover the bulk of his work until his passing, but I'm glad I at least got a taste and knew of him enough to watch this when it came out before he died. Just started getting into O & A, knew some of his previous work... but yo. No other special like it. Killing Them Softly (Chapelle, who could have 2-3 entries in the top 5), Thrilled (Tom Segura), etc, Elephant in the Room stands alone. Most comedians, you're hoping your career specials might be a .650+ on base percentage and you'll have 4-5 home runs. Patrice was hitting game 7 grand slam, ticker tape, bottom of the 9th, down 3, 2 out, moonshots with every swing of the bat. Diverse material, well constructed, flowed well, improv'd and fed off the audience and the set dressers. Genuinely brilliant special and a crown jewel in his career no matter what he ever did or would have done, he made Elephant in the Room. Crystalline real performance here.

[@mr.niceguy777]

"The greatest story ever told on radio" by patrice is crazy interesting. Even if it needs to done in parts please check it out.

[@PRBoricua23]

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before but you guys consistently rank Burr & Patrice at the top of the comedy game, and I think that's great because they "came up" in comedy together and were best friends. Burr talks about Patrice all the time if you listen to his podcasts. He truly loved the man. RIP Patrice.

[@dongargon763]

R.I.P the legend ,his appearances on opie and Anthony alongside bill burr are hilarious ,check them in your own time

[@deepjunky]

I'll have a drink for you guys. Keeping one of the best ever alive.

[@iovino1219]

[@HBK_Mook]

With people Canceling Comedians because they no hold barred comedy 🎭 it’s ironic he pass away before then. In which that kept his comedy more Rare I guess I can say. He very funny 💯 RIP 🪦

[@drug.3797]

Great fkn choice gentlemen!

[@SPAMDAGGER22]

He makes a good point about typing. In grade 9 we had to take typing. It was 1980 and we were still using manuals. I was catching on pretty quick, so the teacher wanted to move me to an electric at the front of the class. I wanted no part of being the best male typist in my grade so I declined for fear of being called gay and the accompanying bullying. Now I am a slow two finger search and pecker on the keyboard.

[@CanadianGrown]

My favourite story is Kevin hart saying he was on stage and hears something land on stage and it was a phone book then he’s Patrice yell “READ IT..ITS FUNNIER THEN WHAT YOUR SAYING”

[@barnabydodd8956]

The thing about Patrice is he didn't give a F. He told people exactly what he thought and pulled no punches. He would have had an absolute field day in these current cancel culture times. He hated political correctness. He would be un-cancellable because he just didn't give a F.

[@antman149]

All right now

[@shanemwood]

Definitely my favorite comedian. Ralphie May is a close 2nd.

I memorized how to spell restaurant after first seeing this bit. You know, just in case. I break it apart by rest-au-rant.

[@missyvon88]

People say Patrice O'Neal would have been cancelled, but I don't think these people know him well. Patrice had enormous empathy and was very understanding of the suffering of people. He would absolutely be Woke. He was already Woke; just listen to his points about racism and inequality. Most of his work is over a decade old and it's still relevant to us today, more so than many comics from that era or after.

[@alvajjoe]

I recommend you check out Patrice O'Neal: Killing Is Easy if you haven't seen it. It is a documentary on Patrice produced by Bill Burr. Was released in Feb. on Comedy Central.
