Richard Lewis on 6th Annual Young Comedians

[@thewriterchick134]

I loved him from the moment I saw him on stage. Although his passing broke my heart, he is still making me laugh...

[@bsbungie]

Rest in peace funny man. Thanks for the laughs.

[@JulesLeyheGuitarPlayer]

I love Richard Lewis so much, he's amazing.

[@DebNKY]

He was just a dream. ❤

[@bradleysaunders9614]

RIP Richard, great delivery of comedy

[@thecuriousquest]

Simultaneously fearless and in fear... publicly. Beautiful. Genius. I'm convinced I have similar psychological traits. Comforting. Thanks, Richard!

[@tonyring138]

best hair ever

[@philwillett9102]

He's like, a young Woody Allen...on Speed!

[@sirchubs1]

This guy has had the same hairstyle for 30 years

[@DebNKY]

Rick Springfield hair.

[@nothingness9296]

more like 70 years

[@ellierose2661]

He has a great head of hair. Jealous?

[@reginaDexant]

I was crushin' on Lewis when I was growing up. I saw him the other day for 60-he could still be crushed on. Cute. PS I like his hair.

[@DebNKY]

He was a good looking man. ❤

[@mv1334]

Sharon always ate too!! LMFAO!!!

[@TheGreggiraldo]

from Brooklyn, New York, Richard lewis

[@In_Case_Im_Fake]

first time seeing this guy. he seems very strung out.

[@DebNKY]

That's kind of why we loved him so. He stayed wicked funny in sobriety too.

[@august_astrom]

Lol that mock Danish was priceless!

[@S58PSHIFTING]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[@johngarcia9967]

"I went on machete night"........too funny

[@calisongbird]

This was before he settled into the “black suit” uniform...

[@mv1334]

This is one of the funniest stand-ups i've seen!!! Seriously, I couldn't stop laughing at all!! "I didn't have a needle, needle, sorry i got possesed there for a sec, needle"!! LMFAO!!! "Did you bring any explosives? UHHH!!!

[@crazycasy]

he is in his classic coked up form.lol

[@kennybestt5748]

I have to disagree, bra... Coke, amps, Ritalin... your funny for like, the first twenty min... then you start speaking like a fucking robot, loss of comedic timing & the personality of a wet carrot... you know what?.... fuck it, you are right!.. hes on booger sugar! yup... Xanax to ride smooth , land easy & feel like it never happened... BENZOS... ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE... - Don't cope with dope!... I advocate not, any mind altering substances/drugs whatsoever... I'd support prohibition of alcohol also, first foremost... God Willing... "I just want to make an impression"... " I actually said, "I want to make an impression", which was dumb thing to say"... I LOL'd hard when he said that shit... - end of rant... good day to all.

[@stevespacson3rd613]

that cola flavor is a hell of a drug, great comedy man regardless ....

[@doccreed658]

This is hilarious. I hadn't heard this particular routine. He's a combination of Robin Williams and Woody Allen. Genius.

[@simplenough]

He’s just Lenny Bruce, all the way down the snapping

[@pcbluepunk]

@Crimsonphilosophy It's called the nervous self-deprecating Jew routine, Allen wasn't the first, the difference is there if you're familiar with a number of comedy routines. It's almost like Jewish people have a reason to feel so nervous and paranoid, if only I could recall an event that would cause this...

[@jameshudson169]

delivery is on message. needs more jokes. rip, richard

[@moosenstine]

What's that word??....Danish for splitting the atom???.....The first time I heard that....I almost died laughing.....

[@larrybud]

This is how I will remember him, and not the frail old man on Curb.

[@AeroWrench84]

Is this the first time you've watched stand-up comedy?

[@timin770]

Comedy Royalty

[@Crimsonphilosophy]

I love him on Curb, but this is almost woody Allen verbatim

he shouldve been a seinfeld regular

[@cubicleboy]

SNIFF

[@great567]

He sounds like woody allen

[@verve92]

Woody on coke! Love them both!

[@KellyGreen5555]

Would you happen to have the 5th Annual Young Comedians show? I'm looking for the Mike Binder performance. Thanks!

[@ThePinkZeppe]

host reminds me of anchorman

[@calisongbird]

That’s Dick Smothers, he’s famous, a legend. The Smothers Brothers was a big act in the 60s.

[@CompoundInterest-SG]

The Danish word for atom splitting is actually atomspaltning.

[@TheZagiello]

He's going to be on The Daily Show today. He's not that popular on internet or is he.

[@mattwuxx3888]

Norm MacDonald, Tommy Smothers(shown here), Fred Willard, Gilbert Gottfried, Bob Saget and now Richard Lewis. We're losing all of the greatest ones faster and faster now, folks.

[@bartstarr100]

You realize that Tom Smothers (Not shown here) was the one who died?

[@mattwuxx3888]

@@bartstarr100 Fixed it and added Saget who I couldn't think of. Thanks for your dogged attention to detail.

[@juancpgo]

4:09 who is that? completely forgot

[@tylergordonfilm]

why wasn't he bigger?

[@nickkennypwrz2474]

this is great... but can somebody explain to me, the "needle" joke, why he repeated it like that? ... was that an OCD attack or some shit?... hilarious

[@nickkennypwrz2474]

yeah bro... I have fucking ocd.. pretty bad too... I really think he broke into a Howard Hughes fuckin, repeating word/'s, sentences .. u know like "the way of the future, the way of the future" lol... it was him not being to get off the word "needle" & if any mother fucker out there, with ocd, knows what's up... shit was hilarious though. .. guy is funny, early days till now... people laugh at my ocd bullshit, but it ain't funny, & I'm not complaining lol... but I think that is what's going on here... ... something that people with ocd will never understand... until he is satisfied/content with saying/repeating/quantifying, that fucking "needle", the word... then he cannot move on... cannot shake it, till he's content.. it will be all he can think about, & he's got a set to do... if ocd sufferers get INTERRUPTED OR DERAILED during/from completing a ritual, then either of two things transpire.. for me it became 50/50... if my ritual performance was abruptly halted, I could either shake the thought of it not being completed, and work it off until the next trigger for corresponding fucking ritual... or... this is what is not comprehended. .. an ocd sufferer will be consumed by the thought, compulsion... no matter how embarrassing, irrational, nor distance from the trigger, that the sufferer cannot withstand the idea of his/her ritual performance remain uncompleted... and it is ALL THAT IS ON THEIR MINDS, UNTIL THAT RITUAL IS SATISFACTORILY CARRIED OUT... ... FUCK OCD... ... HOPE U ALL GET THE GIST OF HOW THIS BULLSHIT DISORDER WORKS.. IT'S UNNECESSARY, NOT REAL, AND CAN BE OVERCOME.. BECAUSE IT REALLY DOES FUCK PEOPLE UP.. I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M STILL WRITING IN CAPS.. YO TAKE CARE.. THX FOR TRYING TO FIELD MY QUESTION ABOUT THE "NEEDLE" RICHARD LEWIS THING... ... "YOUR MOTHER SUCKS COCK IN HELL!!" OK... TAKE CARE MAN.. LOL

[@MrHankscorpio100]

they should write the fact he was never in seinfeld into curb, him and larry's confrontations are always fuckin hilarious

[@MrDesertRocker]

0:00 Ron Burgandy?!

[@thoostorm4]

@sirchubs1 thatscomedy

[@oobah2]

Has he ever actually uttered a complete thought without jumping to something else halfway through?

[@AussieGossie]

Is this guy telling his life story or doing a comedy routine? I can't tell...

[@beckyandrus3977]

I think he's hilarious! They have said this is his real self and real life: He's really like THIS!

[@peegeebeedee7563]

NEEDLES

[@NITZOTZOTOHR26]

RIP MAN Should have stayed away from that dam Jab 😒

[@alworkedup]

So Woody-ish :)

[@TheZurul]

i like him on Curb but wow this is not funny at all

[@RhapsodyOfHammerfall]

Totally agree.

[@vinnygalbo883]

Ahh shut the fuck up and don't watch it then... Everyone's a critic lol

[@lankowlllyk]

@@vinnygalbo883 Richard, that you?

[@ericrivera1391]

Bad performance by Richard Lewis he's breaking out in a sweat. Its sad to see

[@Jellogel]

why did I ever think he was funny?

[@DaniboyBR2]

Too PC, he can be blue but I think the show here wouldn't allow it so there you have it, unfunny comedy.

[@kennybestt5748]

ok, yeah... that end rant about passing fucking gas, how it's genetic, running around stage like a jerk off face... I'm sure he changed that outro soon after... other than that, this shit was funny as hell... "Sharon fuckin ate too" lol... "mother sucks cock in hell", "needle", "we have coal mines in Montana, I didn't mean to tell u that" ha... early Lewis I presume, right?.. Hilarious Hebe ova here! his drug use, ocd, womanizing, free basing, Christie Meth, Depression, DARKNESS!. Laugh out loud, okayyy!...

[@ryconle]

Where are the punchlines? This shit is NOT funny.
