Superdave Osborne on Letterman, 1990

[@jinculvert6620]

I love Super Dave! Love his deadpan!

[@marioiacolucci]

Liked how they used dummy’s for his stunts

[@sblack48]

I love the look of hurt on his face when Letterman or audience laughs at him

[@ericmcallister2817]

I remember watching this when it aired. I was a little boy. I remember feeling so bad for SD, I almost started crying. Haha. I had no idea it was all part of the act.

[@Catlife247]

Maybe because it was one of the few good memories from childhood but the super one always cracks me up!!

[@DavidEisner]

My wife and I were laughing to the point of tears watching this. Just brilliant. Thanks for posting.

[@jasonvale4023]

He made me cry with his deadpan face in the middle of bumbling everything he’s tried

[@sclogse1]

I am just discovering Super Dave, as I didn't see his work on cable in the old days. Today I found out he wrote for the Smothers Brothers, and now...it's all great. Yes, I know he was on Curb. I never knew how he was picked for the show...until today. These are all great.

[@GeoffNelson]

When I was a kid I didn’t know he was a comedian. I knew he was funny but his deadpan delivery fooled me completely.

[@sandyt4343]

The you missed the 3 little Pigs? Oh you got a good one coming then

[@chuckdieselkicksdisks2380]

check out his cartoon on here - quite funny

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

He and comic actor Albert Brooks were brothers.

[@nowaythishappened]

Super Dave was must see stuff for me n my friends in the 80s!

[@mrbig1022]

"your little stunts" wtf!!! I expected him to get up and leave lmao

[@markc5504]

Wonderful comedian, he always lifts be up when i'm down.

[@outofcompliance1639]

Never heard of this until a few weeks ago. No idea how I missed him back then.

[@garyacker7388]

How he maintains that deadpan look. I love it 😀.

His comedic timing in delivery is hard to match. To reiterate what everyone else says, the deadpan is magical.

Bobs ability to stay serious was brilliant. Keep the duck!

R.I.P DAVE!

[@varrick1226]

Just think, SD and Steve Martin wrote for the Smothers brothers which shows you why that show was so great back in the day!

Man, Super Dave's appearances on Letterman are legendary.

[@stupoc6715]

Thomas Affolter - I think thats what made me keep watching Letterman.

[@Nano0k]

Now do Charles Grodin. You're very welcome.

[@jonathanturek5846]

They make a good duo... Me and my siblings would try and lay low key as to not remind our parents it was passed our bed time so we could watch this show .. It is timeless watching them again 40 years later there just as hilarious.. Thank u for posting this VHS recording ! Aloha

[@TAllyn-qr3io]

We used to get high while in college in 1981 and for several years and watch Bizarre with John Byner. Super Dave would make us fall down in tears…god this guy was so deadpan and serious and Fuji and Mike Walden would just keep going and going … loved it immensely 🤘🤘🤘

[@stupoc6715]

Super Dave and Chris Elliot were always the best guests . NIKE

[@Yldcatz]

greatest deadpan

Another Bernard Manning joke! SuperDave and Norm both tell them.

He messes up once in a while.

David Letterman: 😄 Audience: 😂 Super Dave: 😐

[@robzbuzz]

I actually heard this joke on the tonight show. It was told by a Buddy but not Ebsen. Buddy Hackett told it to Johnny. But in the end Bob Einstein probably wrote it originally.

[@kevinknecht]

(5:58) "Was this when The Tonight Show was 90 minutes?" LOL LOL LOL

[@katherinea.rodgers8366]

Best deadpan ever!

[@adamsmashups4839]

I used to honestly think that Dave didn't like Paul,didn't like the audience and at times,didn't think much of Dave either.

[@drServitis]

I WONDER WHERE SUPER DAVE GOT HIS IDEAS FROM?

[@evandunbar5605]

From Ralph’s

Super Dave is Albert Brooks' brother.

Typical Lettermen, just let Super Dave tell the joke without interruptions!

[@modelworkoutinfo]

thats the point its part of the banter routine between them and its genius

[@SirVic42]

NBC Letterman was a terrible interviewer. If you weren't "in" on whatever his running joke of that show was, he just yukked it up without you. The problem with this interview in particular is that he can't stop laughing at Bob's SD bit, as though it was all new to him. That's understandable for an audience member, but malpractice for a host.

[@timsheneman1826]

SuperDave is a hoot on Seinfeld's " Comedians-Cars-Coffee. Those who know.... will know.

[@chriswesterfield4818]

[@timsheneman1826]

Trump being the president is NOT a license to practice your hate. It is a device whereby the powers that be will know who and where you are. Get careful. ( your reply will not be viewed.)
