Saw him in ann arbor Mi long ago maybe late 80’s.Funniest guy I have ever seen. Sides hurt, gasping for air, tears running down my face. Begging him to stop. A great one gone way too soon.
Dennis Wolfberg was indeed a singularly funny fellow, in the world of academic comedy (no pun intended). He is sorely missed- he could whip Martin Lawrence, Lisa Lampinelli & Adam Sandler in one breath. L'chaim, Dennis.
he worked very hard for his style. years and years in nowhereland with audiences not responding at all. brave guy. i think i should be clear about dennis -- we grew up together. he was my cousin. and i was very proud of his success. he was a hilarious guy. what i wanted to say is that his delivery and material came after years of very hard work and that he had the courage to follow his dream at a relatively late time of life compare to most stand ups. he had already been teaching 11 years in ny public schools when he started.
RIP...Saw him on TV in 1993, he was soooo funny! He came to Boston a few weeks later the weekend of Father's Day, I took my Dad & brothers to his show, we had such a great time. What a damn shame such a creative and insightful entertainer was taken away so young.
Listening to Patrice O'Neal name Dennis Wolfberg as his favorite working comedian that he ever saw live in person on "Patrice O'Neal on O&A #71 - Asleep At The Wheel" brought me here.
Yes that's always my favorite part too. I think this show was the first time I'd seen him. When he got to the part about resisting temptation when they see an attractive seat cause there'll always be another one I pretty much laughed my soul out onto the floor
My favorite comedian ever. I saw him at the Irvine Improv in Irvine, CA around 1990. Never laughed that hard before or since. Truly, a great performer...gone way before his time. RIP.
One of the funniest guys there ever was. We shouldn't have had to lose him so soon. He might well have ended up on the very top run, which is populated by 10 or fewer people.
I remember watching him with my dad when I was a kid in the 90s. Still holds ups. even better now, that I understand some of the jokes better. Absolutely great!!!!
Dennis was one of the greatest comedians ever! I have been looking for his work online for years! I was so looking forward to seeing him in person. Unfortunately, he passed away before he came to NJ. RIP Dennis!
I saw Dennis Wolfberg in person in the old comic strip in Manhattan many times. I was shocked to learn this young man with all his talent, passed away. He was the best, I can't think of anyone else that made me laugh as much as he did. Sometimes we had to leave early because of exhaustion from laughing so much.
Indeed ... in fact, the first time I heard him was in the background while I was trying to sleeeeeep and I started laughing so hard I peed in the bed... all without a 4 letter word
when his wife got pregnant he looked at her pregnant belly and claimed he knew it was his child; there was two bulging spots that he claimed were the outline of his baby's eyes.
He was HILARIOUS! I'd always wondered why he disappeared from the scene. I had no idea that he'd passed on, MHRIP. Guess I'll begin collecting his videos now. Thanks for posting.:)
i had no idea gushie was so funny i love him him on quteum leap too bad they didn't have much written for him . he was really hileroius what a great Comedian it wasnt just the material but how delivered
I miss him. His recorded work is very limited as he did mostly guest shots on others shows (tonight show). I use to live in Culver City in the 90s and I remember one of my favorite resturants had an autographed photo of him on the wall. Thanks for posting this.
And his tongue going side to side. Great delivery and very creative use of language. Always makes me laugh till it hurts. That's a pretty fine legacy, the gift of laughter.
L9NG ISLAND LOST A MAJOR TALENT THAT YEAR. GRATEFUL HE ONLY SUFFERED. 2 YRS. THANK YOU GOD FOR SHARING HIM EVEN THOUGH EVER SO SHORT OF A TIME. AND BLESS HIS FAMILY TOO
Watching this in 2020 is so interesting. Referring to an STI as a "Social Disease" and officially labeling a student as a moron or idiot are such relics from the past
Dennis was and still remains one of my favorite comedians!
He died far too young. Here it is 2021 and you are still making people laugh.
He was one of those guys who made me laugh until it hurt. I had a chance to see him live - ringside table too.
I saw him too. Table right next to the stage also. My husband and I laughed so much. I will never forget that show.
@@lisanoone7402 Very envious but very happy for you.
I saw him at Igby’s in West LA. I seriously got frightened at one point that I was going to pass out in my seat from laughing so hysterically.

I can watch Dennis anytime and I laugh so hard every time. His delivery was second to none as far as I am concerned!

JoJoGunn fuck you
+Jack Schimmelman Was the stuff about the public school true? Even if not, it was a riot.
@@jackschimmelman6355 Thanks for adding this insight. Dennis was absolutely incredible. Without compare.

Same here.
Me too
now that's what you call a comedian...
His mannerisms and delivery were the greatest ever.
I could never get enough of Dennis.
I wish I could find the complete episode myself. He was one of my favorite comedians.... RIP, Dennis.
I was fortunate enought to see Dennis live in Seattle. I always laugh when I watch him.
His writing, timing, and presentation were exquisite. Grade AAA+++
I just love this guy's stand up! Always have. He left too soon.
Man, was this guy a riot. Love the teaching stuff the best.

Keep 'em laughin' above the clouds Dennis...may a smile cross every face that views your work!!!
"I had the SLOW class....I used to think of them as STATIONARY....LOL!!
One of the funniest guys there ever was. We shouldn't have had to lose him so soon. He might well have ended up on the very top run, which is populated by 10 or fewer people.
One of the all time best!!!
He couldn't help but be funny. Wolfberg's a legend.
One of the funniest comics who ever lived. Gone much too soon. I miss him.
I remember watching him with my dad when I was a kid in the 90s.
Still holds ups.
even better now, that I understand some of the jokes better.
Absolutely great!!!!
The funniest comedian EVER!
his command of the language is and was impressive.
I miss this guy. I knew of him even back in the late 80s..
I Miss Dennis Wolfberg!!!!
Me too!
Dennis was one of the greatest comedians ever! I have been looking for his work online for years! I was so looking forward to seeing him in person. Unfortunately, he passed away before he came to NJ. RIP Dennis!
We miss you, Dennis! May your unique style and humor live on through CZcams.
He was my favorite. RIP
Memories from childhood. Loved him and his delivery.
I just found out he passed away. He was really funny and it's a shame. Rest in peace.
He was one of my absolute favorite comics back in the 80s.

czcams.com/video/64QbwWpy_eU/video.html -- this is the one where he talks about his eyes. I don't know if he mentions his wife's pregnancy.

I remember watching him on tv many times. He was great, always made us laugh hard and deep. Sadden when I heard he passed.
i had no idea gushie was so funny i love him him on quteum leap too bad they didn't have much written for him . he was really hileroius what a great Comedian it wasnt just the material but how delivered
Imagine him and Mitch up there on the same stage...awesome. Love em both...
RIP Dennis, gone much too soon! Loved you in the 80’s, and had my kid repeating parts of your act in the 2000’s.
@lostinmindseye46 Me too! I was happy when I saw Seinfeld and a bunch of other comics did a benefit for his children.
Yes he was amazing!! He was my favorite too!

this guy was a riot...
My Housemate and I still,to this day, pay homage' to DW by doing his signature "inflection" at the end of observations.
I enjoy Dennis. Lots of laughs!
One of the best ever!
This guy was so funny. I saw him live at Igby’s in West LA, and I couldn’t staff laughing.
love this guy
A little Gilbert Godfried in his routine but easier on the ears. I remember watching this on T.V. 26 years ago.
Love Dennis, till this day I crack some of his comic lines and style among my old friends and it gets them every time. Great soul!
Dennis Wolfberg was funny as hell. His facial expressions puntuate even further a funny ass joke. He rocks!! (Rocked)
Those eye gestures just kill me
+bob gillespie That was another great gimmick he had.
And his tongue going side to side. Great delivery and very creative use of language. Always makes me laugh till it hurts. That's a pretty fine legacy, the gift of laughter.
dennis is sooo amazing and is there really 3 people so stupid that they gave dennis a thumbs down?sheesh
+David Gravilla Probably Chuck Wagon and the Dover twins who did that. Maybe even Dick Hertz.
+David Gravilla I know! Who could not think this is funny?
Who cares?
@@rudolphguarnacci197you have no emotional intelligence and your attitude is rude.

This so brings me back... I am laughing my ass off over this, nearly crying, damn this was so good
I loved him, so funny.
Great comedian who died before his time.
TY TY for posting this... i miss his comedy like no other. surprisingly hard to find for such a funny comedian.
R.I.P. :(
oh he was so good/
I laugh so hard at Dennis that tears roll out of my eeyes. Damn, I miss that man!
He was definitley one of the more unique comedians.
His take on fiber was hilarious
RIP
Not the coolest or angriest just funny as hell.
Comedy gold.
Gooshie from Quantum Leap.
Dennis was hilarious.
he was great . problem is he died around the same time bill hicks died so bill gets all the comedy central tributes . they both were great and missed
he was a great. u was lucky yo have seem him perform
His name was More Marvin. Hilarious!
I haven't seen the font they used for "DENNIS WOLFBERG" on anything but a Mexican restaurant menu since this was released.
Gushie! Center me on Marvin!
Watching this in 2020 is so interesting. Referring to an STI as a "Social Disease" and officially labeling a student as a moron or idiot are such relics from the past
I agree ---and im picky with comedy---
Not seen ANY of his brilliance since the early 90's! He & George Wallace did a unity tour after the LA riots! A clip exists via Entertainment Tonight.
Wonder if the South Bronx was worse than the South Central schools?
@chayhurst Couldn't have said it better.
can someone post some jay hickman plz
@chayhurst when and how did he die? i always wondered what happened to him
Colon cancer I think
Gilbert Godfrieds father!
