Larry is one of the all-time greats. I can remember a few years ago now, him talking of watching his father cooking a barbeque. I so wish I could find video of that routine.
This truly is one of the greatest comedy bits ever...and SO. DAMN. TRUE. I remember seeing this early in my high school years before I'd even tried drinking, and thought it was hilarious. My friends and I would quote this a lot.
I always liked Miller's material. Excellent writer. His delivery style was too stilted and mechanical to enjoy watching him more than a few minutes. I always thought he could have had a bigger audience if he came across as more at ease on stage....... And, yep! Gaffigan sent me here. Terrific post!
I agree re: "become 21, turn 30". EVERYBODY thinks it's Carlin, including a friend who knew him personally and says he heard him do the bit. But I've never found video evidence. I have a clip Larry doing the "aging" bit, from a UK broadcast of this same show (Montreal Comedy Festival, c.1989?) which converted from PAL to NTSC. I did find a Carlin bit here called "Aging", where he says "You say you're 11-1/2, going to be 12, but you don't say you're 26-1/2'". That's as close as I could find.
"Runners are always going on about this runner's high. After you finish a 26 mile marathon, you just feel incredible. That is why I... smoke, and drink. I get the same feeling from a flight of stairs!" ~LM
The most dead on, true to life, we can all relate, funniest comedy bit's in humor history. *hic* excuse me. BTW as long as I get............--plot-- Never mind.
This brings back SO many memories! The bit about age is also hilarious! I taped this on VHS from the HBO special back in the day... my tape is long gone... do you have the whole show? PLEASE upload it if you do!! I would be most grateful if you are able to do it. Anyway, thanks for this bit! K
One of my favorite comedy routines ever. I've worked with Larry and he is funny on and off of the set all day long. He speaks from experience.
I love this clip. I hear it on the radio every once in a while. I've had nights like that.
1 of the BEST comedy bits Ever!
Always loved this!!!
I raise my drink to him,LOL!
I like his delivery. Its kind of classic 1950s stand up. Even his voice. Good stuff.

We were just on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship where another standup comedian did this bit from 1988 almost word for word.
I love it when he says . . . . the Devil says I gotta be in Hell by 9 !
Love this bit. He walks aroung the village three times, then sets it on fire.
Light up
Been to level 5 once or twice! Never ended up with a "Ruby" tattoo, however!

I always liked Miller's material. Excellent writer. His delivery style was too
stilted and mechanical to enjoy watching him more than a few minutes. I
always thought he could have had a bigger audience if he came across
as more at ease on stage.......
And, yep! Gaffigan sent me here. Terrific post!

"You are artificial turf."
This is hilarious if you have ever been in this situation. I have...a lot....alcoholism is sad...
LOVE THIS GUY IN 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU :P
@TheMaximusprime13 No, but Level 5 certainly hit me.
@Nertrender Oh his delivery is great. I meant how is getting that drunk appealing?
Oh my god, I've done some of this
This brings back SO many memories! The bit about age is also hilarious! I taped this on VHS from the HBO special back in the day... my tape is long gone... do you have the whole show? PLEASE upload it if you do!! I would be most grateful if you are able to do it. Anyway, thanks for this bit!
K
RIP vhs
@scottw182 by and large i don't think it is but every one craves some sort of alter conciseness.
@scottw182 i kind of like his unique delivery style.
@Sonicmountain09
I agree wholeheartedly
How I'm feeling right now
@qix77 I just wish i can find his take on skiing and why it's evil :D
hellafunny, great to see this part of the performance up here.
no tattoo but i think almost an equivalent
Anybody here ever reach level 5?
It took me a lot of effort, and trial...almost. No tattoos yet.
Is this what they based The Hangover on? :P
Why is it you can find this bit on drinking but not the aging bit everyone attibutes to carlin from the same special
Man, what year was this performed?
The correct ratio is .92 alcohol and .08 blood.
Don't you mean 99.92% blood .08% blood? .08% BAC is the legal limit.
soooo level 6 is like...drinking onwards even though i saw the sun?! :)))
I've hit level 6. He explained it in his podcast, check it out!
@wildbill92 They ARE artificial turf!
what is the name of this i cant find the rest of the jokes
one of your unemployed friends !
Near miss for Larry recently, he almost died from a brain injury.
@Sonicmountain09
Um, he's Jewish . . . .
This copy has too much back ground noise from moving, talking etc, too bad, I am looking for a better quality copy
Still works, funny...
