Richard Jeni - Bill The Belching Gourmet

[@jennifermordini3809]

Love him. Saw him anytime he came to Chicago or surrounding area! He was one of a kind! His humor was fabulous! Just hysterical! I miss him. I wish he would have lived forever. ❤️😔

[@FrethKindheart]

That was epic. Richard was a unique talent.

[@maestro48239]

I was lucky enough to see him live once before he left us. I was so sad when I heard he took his own life.

[@delfin7461]

same here -- I laughed so hard, my sides were actually sore after the show.

[@liamg2271]

The dude was crazy talented. Great material but his pacing and delivery was just pure genius. The comics today are nowhere near Jeni's level. Very sad his life ended far too soon.

[@alworkedup]

I miss him so much :(

[@gekritzl]

+alworkedup R. Jeni was my favorite. I saw him live maybe 6 times, in DC and MD. RIP, Richard.

[@awesomedogs7]

Saw him in Vegas in the early 90s, he was great!! RIP Rich!!

[@barrypfost2963]

He was the master!

[@joannlopez5807]

A comic genius. Miss him too.

[@awparamount]

Comedic genius. Never missed a beat.

[@jbfan6360]

Richard Jeni is one of the great ones. Greatly missed, but never forgotten.

[@tomp5331]

Loved you Richard, You were great!

[@delacruztaylor]

"we never said it was" best line

[@heavnnnsent]

there were so many best lines in this footage. Jeni was the best there ever was

[@rastapastaman]

gotta have some great laughs up there with Jeni! The very Best!!!

[@g26s239]

He was brilliant! And this was a great piece here.

[@mrmusic248]

Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside. RIP.

I loved Richard Jeni.

[@Naturegirl1976]

I loved the hell out of him. I love the dead rabbits on the highway bit, lol.

[@FrancisNStein]

Just..God bless him! loved him

[@SourGummiWyrm69]

Welcome to cooking on the planet Mars!

[@damnyankeefl]

saw him twice and he was such a great performer. the last time though, he seemed off. I think the depression was starting to get him . very sad.

[@OntarioAndrews415]

One of the best. Sorry that he left us so very soon.

[@tomp5331]

Love Richard Jeni

Hold on Bill, my wife is yelling about something in the other room... how duh ya like that? It's a boy!" 😂

[@Slopmaster]

“Before I go off a tangent” 😂

[@barrypfost2963]

Never fry bacon when you're naked!...rip Rich!

[@3dprinterjam263]

"Can't Believe It's Not Butter" is the best part of the whole thing. So many genius lines. "You look at a lawn chair and say 'I can't believe it's not butter.'" Why not?" "Cuz I'm stupid." And, yeah, "We never said it was. We only said we couldn't believe it wasn't." I miss him so much.

[@FriscoCtiy415]

R.I.P. this guy was a great

[@rickos1915]

He had talent to burn......makes today's "comedians" look pathetic.

[@boylibrary3533]

Ricko s funniest man ever, I’ve heard about him doing 4 different hours in 4 different shows. I would give anything to see his joke notebooks as a comedian, all the fucking gold in those books that never was recorded

[@jbfan6360]

The Arco station. I wonder how many people who are watching have never been to an Arco station.

[@lynn1494]

Never Fry Bacon, When You're Naked. Oh, the pain you must feel to get that kind of motto...

[@johnrondeau1180]

He was the best.

[@tomp5331]

You were great Mr. Jeni

[@jman6987]

one word that would be I COULDN'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT

[@libertatus]

Richard Jeni: Brilliant and tragic....

[@Joeyland]

one of the best

[@heavnnnsent]

the best. Period.

[@rogerwallace6647]

Other than maybe robin williams no one comes close to jeni's speed and accuracy of delivery, it's stunning

[@selfproclaimed3112]

By far the best 2 comedians ever. My absolute favorite.

[@katashley1031]

And Rich did it without cocaine.

[@tomp5331]

Love Rchard thats for sure

This is very funny I will say, but I love to cook for my family, and one of my favorites is home made chicken noodle soup with lots of noodles;0))

[@heavnnnsent]

sounds like an excerpt from the fan mail to the Belching Gourmet.... And what else is your point?

[@stevehammond9156]

The comedy world is such a poorer place without the Platypus Man!

[@rickos1915]

After him, today's "comedians" are unwatchable.

[@heavnnnsent]

oh hell yes

[@SourGummiWyrm69]

Today we're going to make a massively complicated dish with ingredients you've never heard of...

[@CaptainVideo75]

3 dislikes? really?

[@flatsfishingonline]

genius

[@keepcalmycarryon]

I too enjoyed this videographic performance. Is Mr. Jeni available for private appearances? Good Day.

[@katashley1031]

He took his own life in 2007. So no.

[@GLynnQuint]

6:11 XD

[@baylinkdashyt]

One of those rare comedians who could violate the Law of Conservation of Amusement - he could laugh at his own jokes and the audience laughed too. Though, for the record, I do like Clamato. Not so much on the Flounder Apple.

[@SourGummiWyrm69]

Utensils you can't afford...

[@tomschueller2912]

Clam ato juice

[@keepcalmycarryon]

Like... had a bad set?

[@Ziz62266]

No, literally just suicide. He had depression issues at the time and couldn't figure out how to get past them.

[@jbfan6360]

A great many people suffer from depression. Sadly, many of them succumb to suicide or die of an overdose. It is time to remove the stigma of mental illness and encourage people to get help with their problem.

[@katashley1031]

He struggled with schizophrenia as well. I knew Rich, we dated around 1990, I don't think he ever got over his career not hitting the height she saw others ascending to. He had very little self esteem that wasn't tied to his career. The meds they gave him also likely made it worse. I was terribly sad when he left us the way he did. I still think of him often. He was kind, and he was a genius.

[@Ziz62266]

Well, considering he died in 2007, I'm gonna guess not.

[@keepcalmycarryon]

Oh. I guess that's pretty funny.

[@keepcalmycarryon]

Career suicide? Oh, so he "bombed?" I shudder at the impropriety: he must have been just "morftified!" Ugh.

[@Citan1981]

George carlin was better. But this guy is the real platypuss!

[@heavnnnsent]

George was great. But not better. They were both equally great at what they did and they were both the best and the funniest

[@wa2k99]

Screw Carlin
