Emo Philips @ David Letterman #2, 1986

[heatbucspies55]

I usualy don't say this, but the Ausience is terrible.

[PirateOfTheInternet]

Letterman's a dick.

[djdj42]

I watched Emo on several shows on utube and he uses same material

[silverstorm1000]

@djdj42 so do many artists. do you know how many times I have heard the joke about the packet of snakes alive?

[mtumey6]

This would be huge if it happened in the youtube era. If fred could get popular this certainly would in themed minute long shorts. this character is great

[StortSettVittig]

Letterman really is full of contempt of comics on the show. Always a lot of invective in his jests when talking to comics, from what i've seen - if he at all gives them the courtesy to sit in after a performance, which is a rare thing.

[Jacobs328]

Can't wait till HAMBURGER comes out.

[imabookie3]

Dave is hopelessly out of Emo's league

[enuvune]

the crowd is stupid.

[beasst94]

@enuvune no worse than letterman

[funkluv]

Ok forget that I get it now

[funkluv]

TimothyDeLaGhetto can you specify in a vlog or vid what specifically you like about this vid

[1997basty]

Thumbs up if TimothyDeLaGhetto send you here !

[torukmaktwo]

timmy sent me here!! haha

[SurfieInACT]

I think Emo's comedy isn't supposed to be laugh-out-loud funny. It's meant to make your brain scramble abit. He's great :D Hooray for speech therapy lol

[Guitarist2095]

@SurfieInACT haha he makes me laugh alot

[sheao50]

Woooooow, shit crowd

[foxkieran]

"...So I backed up the Buick."

[kasimovaya]

LOL dude the cowboy beer comercial just reminded me of brokeback mountain

[kasimovaya]

my mom has his haircut. its hard to take seriously

[brunstar81]

Holy fuck, there was a film called Hamburger?!

[jayci68]

"no way Raul" fucking hilarious!

[Maxpow33r]

Which single motherfucker cocksucker of a dane cook fan disliked this

[AccordionManiac]

that was great!

[OtterpopSlaughterMop]

I'd like to swat Letterman with a big stick.

[oxlena]

Tough crowd.

[MrStratster]

I've always thought that Emo is really funny, but since I started looking at utube clips it seems like he only ever wrote two routines. Has anyone got a clip of Emo doing any new stuff or what is he doing now?

[Wlushbough]

With the internet today any comedian can seem like they have little material.

[angelodaBarbarian]

Im guessing the crowd wasn't there for emo phillips

[GirEatsChewyMeatPies]

Blow out the candles on the COLESLAW.

[openmindedproduction]

the dangers of homonyms joke is awesome and I love the using blanks joke...fucking hilarious. Damn Letterman crowd sucks, probably a reason why I never watched his show.

[UFOProductionsLtd]

What movie was Dave talking about? I'm sure Emo's been in a few but the only one I've seen him in was "Weird Al" Yankovic's "UHF"

[franzfafka]

@UFOProductionsLtd he was in a movie called Journey to the Center of the Earth, but it got horrible reviews so I guess Emo keeps it on the down low...

[go8smosh]

nah, i think that David and Emo get along well.

[FeelOfFriction]

David = Dick

[eli210]

Thank you Emo

[unfortunatebeam]

I get the impression the Letterman actually doesn't like Emo Philips

[ArtfulDawdger]

I get the feeling he doesn't like alot of his guests.

[LouisLambert]

Dude, yeah-- Dave has is _own agenda_. That IS the alpha and the omega of Dave. For better or for worse....

[LouisLambert]

At any rate, I disagree. I've watched way too much Letterman and I recognize that as Dave's way of mucking about and/or playing off the awkwardness that is a part of Emo's schtick.
