David marzolino i agree. I am somewhat of an authority on Carlin and I can say this is the closest to Carlin that I have heard. Stanhope will be a huge star, should he wish to be, should he play his cards right, and should he have someone like Jerry Hamza managing him.
Same I just went around the Carlin Illuminati bandwagon videos to correct the Qanon crowd because it annoyed me. I obssessed enough to memorize the last 20 years. I toss Doug in anytime burr is compared. Burrs funny he's ok, louies great ** the asterisk is gonna stay there for reasons Jefferies was my new interest that changed immediately with Doug. 3 years and he's the closest. i love Hicks to death. He's probably my favorite just because he did give a fuck. But his material I would say compliments theirs Doug definitely has the balsiest bits George had time, and obssession with language that made it a legacy. IDK ranking them is difficult if Doug was in 92 hed have been blacklisted and performing in the uk .Carlin luckily had 20 years of fan service. Internet really made me an addict for these bits. I don't even subscribe to Libertarianism but I love this Because They don't give s fuck about you they don't care about you at all at all at all .id say RIP but i hope Georges corpse gets dug up and a homeless shelter is put there.
If the American norm were against authoritarianism, unconstitutional laws wouldn't have been proposed in the first place. So it doesn't matter, jury nullification will never happen, most people in the US are in favor of the erosion of rights.
Enough of all the youtube fighting shit. Doug Stanhope is a brilliant comedian, and so were George Carlin and Bill Hicks, they were legends. All 3 do have the same similarities, ranting, and satire, but they all did it in their own way. Since Carlin and Hicks are gone, Doug Stanhope is here to take over.
The only difference I'd say is that Carlin was much more calculated than Hicks and Stanhope. Dude would work for years on specific bits before putting it out where as in Hicks and Stanhope's case, they'd work on it while on the road. Not taking anything away from Hicks or Stanhope, as Stanhope is my personal favorite, even though I acknowledge Carlin as #1.
@PearlPerlita Venegas clearly you have not heard enough Stanhope if you don't know his thoughts on AA and that ain't happening. So go down the rabbit hole and just enjoy him while he's here.
almost every comedian sounds like a successful comedian who influenced them until the newer comedian crosses some success threshold where they become their own success & act it's the comedian's rite of passage. takes at least 20 years roughly. honing s skill like comedy is like making an ancient katana, EACH HAS AN EFFECT ON PEOPLE & CAN KILL WHEN USED RIGHT.
Those last couple lines made me say "Wow" out loud when I heard it. "You were born free, you got fucked out of half of it, and you wave a flag celebrating it." Well said.
@@pipsantos6278 Oh yeah? Where do the politicians come from? They are products of society. Politicians come from the people and by extension, wars too. Violence is part of human nature; war is just humankind's propensity for violence but amplified on a massive scale.
@@Sam-ui1ll substitute kings for politicians in your reply and you might just get it. Those who accept the tyranny of politicians are as stupid as those who accept the tyranny of kings.

“Next thing you know, I’m walkin’ through Customs with a condom of coke in my colon!” Somehow, that is a beautifully alliterative sentence. This is the best Stanhope I’ve ever seen, really just incredible. Wow. Great, great daring and truthful stuff; our generation’s Lenny Bruce. Totally DGAF. Never really enjoyed him before, but I gotta say, I’m a big fan after seeing and hearing this. Perfect drinking buddy.
Jason Muldoon I’ve just found it now and I’m answering a 5 year old comment!! I’m like a time traveller!! I need your clothes your boots and your motorcycle. Astalavista baby
"Mother!!!" In case you haven't seen the whole special, that's a brick joke from earlier where he says he wants his suicidal mother to be a suicide bomber just to get rid of something that annoys him.
In reality he talked about helping his mom commit suicide with medication and how they got drunk beforehand. I forgot which show that was from, but yeah.
@@MladenMijatov And then he maxxed out her credit card straight after she passed, and didn't publicly admit to it until three years later when the Statute of Limitations had expired. Genius.
I claimed the exact same thing regarding the pledge of allegiance as a kid. I did it without thought until the 7th grade (small hick town), when I finally realized what I was doing. Pledge of Allegiance......when we're being taught about the German/Nazi pledge, etc. I started to refuse to do it. I was sent to the principal a ton and then they got my father involved. Even he was mad at me until I told him why - basically how insane it is and now felt to me, how un-American it seemed. From that moment he gave the ok. School still harassed me a bit and I after another talk with my dad they never forced me to do it under threat of punishment. I'd just stand and say nothing. A few friends understood when I explained it to them but they didn't stop until no longer asked to do it in the 9th grade. I wasn't at all trying to cause a stir or gain attention, btw! I was admittedly a bit of a class clowm but this was serious to me. I still don't like it and don't think it should be done at all. It's the opposite of what people think they are when claiming to be patriotic, free and American. It's swearing an oath to government, exactly as he Doug claims. Took me until age 12-13 to realize it. Crazy.
That's crazy, in Italy we sing the hymn while raising the flag at the beginning of every school year, but nobody checks if everyone is singing, I never sang because I found it retarded. I'm sorry you guys have to endure such idiocy
A forced pledge is like a forced promise... ... it's void. (I've only seen one bit of evidence for a so-called 'German/Nazi pledge' - it was part of an US-propaganda newsreel and obviously produced to be an awkward version of the 'pledge of allegiance'. In Germany, a pledge was always more of a lipservice-like ritual for those, who could not be confronted with an oath.)
I don't know who you are mate, but today you're my hero. (always bewildered me, the land of the free requires an unconditional pledge of allegiance . . ?)
The pledge of allegiance has a very important function. It teaches kids that adults are idiots who are obsessively preoccupied with incredibly stupid, trivial shit. The natural talent that all people have for detecting bullshit hasn't been suppressed in kids and the pledge of allegiance is bullshit from start to finish. Why are the adults making you recite this bullshit over and over? What possible purpose could it serve? But it seems to make them happy so the only conclusion you can draw is that adults are stupid and the entire system of adult rules etc. is just going to be more of the same; meaningless repetition of empty bullshit.
Doug Stanhope is the new George Carlin. Way ahead of his time. This is an amazing understanding of what most people can't comprehend. One of the best to ever step on stage ✌❤😊
Hahaha! John Ashcroft was a weird fuck, wasn't he? And for the well-known so-called "victimless crimes," I agree. Some matters aren't cured by imprisonment. Just feeding the fucking system with our drug war is all we're doing in America. This comedian really speaks his truth. This Bud's to Doug Stanhope!

Doug Stanhope would have a mental breakdown if he lived in Canada. If you are libertarian than Canada is hell. The fact that he lives right by the Mexican border kinda proves my point.
How many people have broken the marriage contract or divorced someone after a few years that they said they would love “In Sickness and Health” and “Til Death Do Us Part”!
"You were born free, you got fucked outta half of it, and you wave a flag, celebrating." Truest shit I've heard today.
because you love balls you ball handler
I like to think of Doug as the Diogenes of our time.
That's pretty accurate.
Diogenes is an excellent parallel!
Yup
Absolutely
YES
"30 million advertising the new $20 bill..... who is the competition!?"
That was fucking great.
balls and yamakas will ruin you all
"If marriage didn't exist, would you invent it?" As usual Doug asks THE question. "Honey, this is so good---let's bring the government in on this!"
Your iq is low
So good even the hecklers are encouraging him.
That is fact and very observant of you! Truth is hard to bear but can also be freeing if it comes at the right time and in the right way, eh?
LMAOOOOO!!!!
You got a argument? "No". Good for him. Stanhope would have destroyed him.
don't hold back. Accent timing and execution be .EXE
Ya I got the feeling Stanhope was deciding what to say to the heckler, I really wanted to hear it.
I watch this every few months.... for my sanity!
I haven't seen Stanhope in almost 4 years. I ended up on my favorite work of his.
Good advice
#metoo
I still do to this day
This is hands down one of the best stand up routines I have ever heard. Awesome
Out of all the preachy bits I've ever heard, this is the best one. And best closer.
Jay Bird. Second only to George Carlin.
David marzolino i agree. I am somewhat of an authority on Carlin and I can say this is the closest to Carlin that I have heard. Stanhope will be a huge star, should he wish to be, should he play his cards right, and should he have someone like Jerry Hamza managing him.
I love how he can take what some would call a pessimistic worldview and make it funny. That's not easy to do.

WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL
DISCLAIMER: Must be 18 , void where prohibited , some restriction may apply , not available in all states
That liberty and justice for all bit sounded like something George Carlin would say.
100%
_conditions may applyy, not available in all states_ yeah. it"s good to hear.
Carlin is overrated
Goyon Man oh stop
@@goyonman9655 he was cute
We lost Bill Hicks,But we still have Doug Stanhope!
His point on jury nullification is spot-on. That's how we the people void unconstitutional laws. NOT GUILTY!!
Yeah I got off a jury on a border crossing drug case and really I should have stayed since I myself did the same thing and got away with it
Not guilty!
Problem is most suspects take a plea deal rather than go to trial
the problem would be getting your own people on jury duty
If the American norm were against authoritarianism, unconstitutional laws wouldn't have been proposed in the first place. So it doesn't matter, jury nullification will never happen, most people in the US are in favor of the erosion of rights.
"hey don't hold back"
what a fantastic 'heckle'. 10/10 would heckle again.
And the continuation gets even better:
"You got an argument?"
"Nope. Keep going."
Truth through humor.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you. -Oscar Wilde
Or humor through truth.
Good humour usually cuts right to the truth, that's why it's funny - we're all thinking it, but until now no one had the balls to say it

This is the greatest piece ive ever heard. Astounding ! Carlin too would be proud!
"What if I don't want a leader where does that vote go?
I don't want to be led I do alright on my own."
"Hey dont hold back"
"You've got an argument ?"
"Nope keep going"

Its true lol
Wow....this is pretty much everything I believe, just articulated more humorously.
WAKE UP, PEOPLE!!!!
They left their TV on. They can't.
Almost all liberty was suspended two months ago. Everyone is still asleep
I like this guy you
This is prime Stanhope. He's still a genius, but everyone has a peak
That dude who yells "Hey, don't hold back". I actually appreciate him. He has become great scenery to the backdrop of this bit.
best heckle ever
i agree, that little exchange was awesome...
‘you got an argument?’
😂😂😂
Kinda threw a wrench in the close though.. People should be quiet unless they have something to actually say.
Erik Frankfurt exactly you can tell it threw him off and the close was abruptly after
Na he should have shut the fuck ip
This is 15min of best stand up ever. He speaks the things I want to say out loud but never have guts to do it.
1:08 that's how I feel about christmas, I don't want to participate in it, but if I don't buy people gifts, then I'm an asshole.
He will one day be known as one of the greatest comedians to have ever lived
The pledge of allegiance says the opposite of what The Declaration of Independence says- Interesting fact.
I never thought about that!
And then they started another oppressive government to take away their freedoms again. Makes a lot of sense, huh?
The pledge of allegiance was written by a communist so what do u expect
The pledge is a contradiction within itself...
The under god part was added during the cold war red scare days.
