[hanscarter]

God I miss this show!

[LOKJazz]

6:00 OMG!!! LOL! Sick Chappaquiddick reference. The [sick] beauty of Emo...

[EzekielWhateley]

Emo Phillips is the Real Deal.

[116Bears]

As much as I love Dr. Katz, Emo Phillips sucks. I could not even listen to the whole thing.

[Bassbait]

@116Bears Obviously you just don't understand his sense of humor. It's a combination of anti-climax, irony and paraprosdokian. His humor style is similar to that of Stephen Colbert or Mr. Plinkett. You can't say he sucks because you know next to nothing about him. You'd have to watch lots of his videos to understand, and usually someone who says something "sucks" doesn't do much research to come to that conclusion. Look at it with an open mind. Don't be so naive.

[CilverNightHigh]

@Bassbait When I watch a comedy routine, I don't research a comedian. If a comedian doesn't make me laugh, It's not because I 'didn't research them', it's because I didn't find their jokes funny, and that means the jokes don't appeal to my demographic, and no comedian appeals to all of them.

Don't get me wrong, I love Emo Phillips, but don't say someone is naive because they have a dissenting opinion about a comedian.

[Bassbait]

@CilverNightHigh Well, that's the thing. If a comedian doesn't make you laugh, it might have been THE ROUTINE ITSELF. If you hate a comedian based off of one thing you've seen them do, that's ignorance. When I say "research" I mean watch more of his stuff to determine if he's funny. I call someone naive when they base Emo Philips' career on this one guest starring role in a TV show, and don't even bother to look more into it.

[CilverNightHigh]

@Bassbait The way he sounded, he'd seen more and disliked it. Plus, you say that he has a certain type of humor, and if a person dislikes one act odds are they won't like another.

[Bassbait]

@CilverNightHigh Except for when it's for TV, that makes it a different case. Usually, when it's for a TV show, the person will act very different. For example, Emo lacks his trademark humor in Miami Vice, Weird Al Show, UHF, and Relative Strangers, all of which he is in, and two of which are TV shows. Maybe the guy saw him in one of those...

like Tosh? I don't think he's that hilarious in Tosh.O, but I LOVE his stand up routine. Sometimes.

Comedians aren't a one act breed (except Dane Cook).

[CilverNightHigh]

@Bassbait So you think unless someone sees all a comedians work they can't accurately dislike it? That's like saying you can't like a comedian until you see all their acts.

[Bassbait]

@CilverNightHigh No. This is what I mean - Metallica is a crappy band, and has been since the 90's. However, their 80's material is great. It's unfair to say you hate Metallica if you haven't heard the 80's stuff, because you're basing your judgment off of a false perspective. If you have only seen Emo Phillips from one skit, you have missed out on what kind of comedian he actually is, as with this case, you ARE missing out. So you should at least see a VARIETY of material before you judge.

[CilverNightHigh]

@Bassbait And by his tone he seems to have, yet you still called him naive

[116Bears]

As much as I love Dr. Katz, Emo Phillips sucks.

[AttackMyAss]

@116Bears Yeah, he tries way too hard.

[fardinhimself]

love it

[smichael61]

I just love to watch a video of still shots.

[Yungblade41]

Its Shannon!! (home movies)

[chr1sfenton]

Philips is one L btw...

[residualbill]

Emo Philips is awesome onstage but I think I like hearing him even more when he has someone to bounce off of, like Dr. Katz or "Weird Al" Yankovic.

[MydniteDaun]

lol. I love Emo Phillips

[ziplocMASTER]

i didnt open the car door for her, instead i just swam to the surface lmao!!

[eldorado61guy]

@ziplocMASTER What a great line Haha.

[megamarsvin]

"Lassie was a collie" XD

[xoO0oO0ox]

I don't think this is Emo.

[SamGr4evr]

Hahaha...these are 'Home Movies' guys voices!!!

[sanelately]

it doesnt sound like emo

[bigfilmhat]

What is the bleach doing in the floor wax bottle?! Food needs to labeled correctly danmit!

[chrisbary]

Yes! Funny stuff.

[BobbyRice2]

Is that really Emo, doesn't sound like him at some parts! Oh well, still hilarious.

[Nathanamerican27]

My dad use to give me Hebrew lessons...how to spot them. Funny!

=P

[carolin988]

"you never get over that, when you come so close to staying exactly the same" lol!

this is so funny ,thanks for posting!

[SRL5689]

No, sounds like more fighting is needed.

[residualbill]

I grew up in Downers Grove, Illinois - Emo Philips' hometown (and also Denise Richards and "Macho Man" Randy Savage's childhood home...so DG's got that going for them... ah). Never met him though. Never so much as seen him walking around. I mean, sure, he looks, talks and moves just like everyone else so it's not like he'd stick out like a sore thumb or anything...

[allexx123]

@residualbill Hum, he would stand out alright. You think that anyone that has a haircut like that and looks like a tall skinny bird would not get noticed? I knew him for a few years and loved him dearly.

[residualbill]

@allexx123 Oh...Agh...Ow. Making me remember something from 6 months ago. ...Woo. Good thing I'm sitting down.

You knew him. I can only imagine how he was.

Strange, I'm saying 'was', as if he died. He's still alive and I'm glad.

Actually, I've seen a few people more recently with his hair style, but they each had a skateboard under them. Emo, the pioneer. ;)

[allexx123]

@residualbill Actually off stage he is rather boring and can be very critical of others. Don't get me wrong he is a nice guy and all, but sometimes he can piss you off. He still has a slight strange mind, well he has to since he thinks up all these weird funny lines all the time. He still delivers great stage stuff today.

[5023849465]

I hate it when the fire goes out.

[BarnabasFrid]

Hobby Shop... best part

[5023849465]

This is darn good writing.

[240warheads]

How would you like to die?

OK

[SSonvo]

It's Shannon and Melissa's dad.

[JonYoungandJCashFan]

[segould]

"Well I'm taking saxophone lessons. In fact, I was playing for my friends the other day. Well when I say friends, I mean my mother's ceramic elves." LOL

[stargirlme65]

"If someone's a pedophile you don't give him a midget in a cubscout uniform" love it.

[gdmadix]

Darn it, I miss Dr. Katz. It was hilarious. It was an original. Where did it go?

[RitheeRithwando]

gdmadix: Well, where does fire go when you put it out?

[blinkies88]

"I hate being divorced. I'd much rather be a widower."

[skotoseme]

"The whole notion of what's appropriate or what's inappropriate in therapy is something that I write about extensively and talk about publically, so...the short answer is-- not really."

Love them both but that was the funniest part for me for some reason.

[morepiepleaseTV]

[skotoseme]

[morepiepleaseTV]

Really? Oh wait, ahh fuck you man! xD

It took me a second, i did that to someone too, haha, that's funny

[skotoseme]

i suppose you deserve some explanation after that; this is from the extras on the DVD of whatever season of dr katz had emo phillips was in. it might've said the story behind it/date, but i've never seen it; my friend saw it but she's since sent the dvd back to netflix. so there!

[morepiepleaseTV]

[KairuHakubi]

[JaniFace]

[Lndp4]

sex is logically impossible after marriage...you have to overcome the paradox between 'this again?' and 'where did you learn that?'

[joelkazoo]

Katz: "How would you like to die?"

Emo: "Okay!"

ROTFLMMFAO!

[Norogoth]

This is fantastic.

[024yeknom]

When I was a kid I accidentally go a dart stuck in my brain, and the surgeon said that if the dart would have entered the brain a hundredth of an inch in any other direction, it would not have mattered.

LOL

You dont give an ex-pedophile a midget in a cub scout outfit.

HAHAHAHA

[kaoruthescenekid]

"Lassie was a collie"

[024yeknom]

I was doing some improved stand up at a karaoke thing while I was waiting for the song to start (they couldnt find it at first), and I "Borrowed" that joke.

[srvinfinity]

Emo and Johnathan are wonderful together. I become codependantly immersed. Make the next session much sooner than a few years. PLEASE? (God, grant me the serenity to except the things I can not change,---)

[Cyburn2005]

[Norogoth]

Who is that in real life though?

[Norogoth]

I love the way his t's and p's are insanely amplified.

[Brendanofthecult]

Its Jonathan Katz as Dr. Jonathan Katz

[Norogoth]

Oh, Emo Phillips, got it.

[Chocoty1]
