STEVEN WRIGHT - The COMPLETE Works - stereo HQ - (pt.5 of 5)

[Sarasunday1]

wow the audience is really drunk lol

[didgeboy287]

Thanks for uploading. 48,322 have probably said it already, but it's so good to hear this much Steven Wright on youtube.

[94Nonentity]

the expression he retains during this is hilarious. Its like hes looking off in the distance thinking, "huh"

[whitemanwigg2]

brilliant .........

[MrRenzolo]

Anybody noticed the disposition of the dots on the guitar frets? :D

[Darkknight9955]

God's work, you did uploader. *thumbs up

[Narwal88]

What's the punchline at 4:02?

I can't understand his words....

[morpheusatloppers]

@Narwal88 "I said, 'I remember you'." In other words, STEVEN WAS the guy he'd pushed off the ferris wheel. BIG coincidence!

[pbfrk]

@morpheusatloppers In other words, Steven didn't want to get pushed off the chairlift (also very similar to a ferris wheel chair) so he said he had heard of the guy before so he wouldn't be a total stranger, because the guy only pushes off total strangers. That is my interpretation :)

[morpheusatloppers]

@pbfrk Ah! I never thought of it that way. You could well be right. It's a bit ambiguous, that one!

[spacecowboy5000]

They really should freeze Steven's brain. Preferably after he's dead. What a mind!

[gary72carol61]

I past out laughing once when he said.....I have a weird uncle...he has false legs........ but real feet!! :-)))

[skeilak]

"Sure, it's a small world. But I wouldn't want to paint it." - Steven Wright

[Whist75]

I remember one of his jokes...

"What if there were no hypothetical situations?"

[justacoasterfan]

Thanks a lot for posting these. I've always loved Steven Wright and his "dry" wit. Here's a couple more of his one liners.

Last week I installed a skylight in my apartment....my neighbors upstairs were furious.

The other day I went to a general store....they wouldn't let me buy anything specific.

Last night I played a blank tape at full volume.....the mime across the street went nuts.

[morpheusatloppers]

@justacoasterfan - LOL for that last one!

Thanks for uploading! I really enjoy his work. Greetings from Zagreb, Croatia.

[morpheusatloppers]

@gaz2206 - Thanks. Greetings from Thailand, by way of England. It's great to know how far my pieces travel.

[KOI2N1]

@morpheusatloppers the world is a small place brother

[AmericanRover]

I was putting slinkys on the escalator.

[bobbyalligator7]

... and I said," I remember you ! " ... ( and my harmonica sounded awesome !!! )

[BRileyGBR]

what was the punchline for the last joke? i cant make it out

[agnernai]

Well done morph! I recall seeing this when it aired originally. Still the best.

[NOOOQUARTER]

I watched all 5 parts, thanx for posting, i'll buy a DVD of his next time i'm in the store

[twiwonder]

Thank you so much for posting all these. Such good quality

[HunterDX77M]

Wow the sound quality is very nice.

[0mb4857090]

It's a song you're referring to, called 'Friends Of Mine' ..It's featured on the album

"I Still Have A Pony'.

[Godfadr]

Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks?

[breaneainn]

Sponges grow in the ocean...that kills me.

[nellgwen48]

I've been aware of him ever since he came out and I'm still amazed by him. one of the greats. I bought a decaffeinated coffee table, you can't tell the difference.

[ADDfreak13]

so i heard this steven wright joke about a fiend named bob and how he was playing tag on a cliff and instead of tag it was push. ANYWAY, I CANT FIND THE JOKE, IF YOU COULD TELL ME WHAT TO SEACH THAN THAT WOULD HELP.

[morpheusatloppers]

@ADDfreak13 Sorry! I think I've heard his BOOK now - but that one is unfamiliar.

[VoidEternal]

@ADDfreak13 His CD Steven Wright - I still Have a Pony

[theloveshack18]

@ADDfreak13 That joke is from his song called "When the Leaves Blow Away"

[weirdmeatloaf]

@ADDfreak13 Hey, it's "Friends of mine song" on "I still have a pony". You'll find it on spotify

[ADDfreak13]

@weirdmeatloaf thx, but whats spotify?

[weirdmeatloaf]

@ADDfreak13 A music program that lets you stream practically every song you've ever heard of

[doublebass08]

@ADDfreak13 That's on his When the Leaves Blow Away DVD

[simonella12]

@ADDfreak13 it the song "friends of mine" by steven wright offcourse

[blindreefer]

@ADDfreak13 pretty sure it was from When the Leaves Blow Away

[kinglaffo]

People often throw the term "genius" around too liberally, but in this man's case, it couldn't possibly be more apt

[stalledx]

These videos were the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

[belisariusorb]

Timing ... absolutely perfect

[sipralexa]

great, thanks. Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium.

[jondavis1234]

Pure genius! Thank you for sharing these.

[poidog44]

This guy has always cracked me up. When the Wind Blows....

[dasdos02]

I can't believe how good this is with only a couple thousand views. My god so good. Thank you so much for the postings!

[morpheusatloppers]

I agree about the hits. But another indicator of "success" is the number and tone of the comments - which have been many and POSITIVE.

[iSOBigD]

@morpheusatloppers I think that since he stopped doing comedy for about 15-20 years then started up again, he's just not as known as newer comedians.

If he did an HBO special or something this year, he'd get tons of views. Since 2008, I've mostly only seen him on The Late Late Show and I think he does stand-up at clubs and stuff, so he's not really getting too much exposure.

[lllMrGrimlll]

dude thanks for posring this xD

[GreatSammichEater]

You bastard I have reached this part and now I'm offended. I will say good day to you sir!! haha just kidding great posts!

[morpheusatloppers]

@GreatSammichEater - LOL!

[Brunoleite86]

I've noticed that he sometimes begins to laugh and he tries to hide immediately turning his back on the audience. Surreal, deadpan humor.

[morpheusatloppers]

@Brunoleite86 - Yes - his style ONLY works if he stays "in character".

I used to HAVE a Slinky - I wish I'd thought of putting one on an escalator!

[TheJinxrr]

I've tried it; it doesn't work as well as you'd expect. You need to find one with narrow enough steps.

[morpheusatloppers]

Ah yes - I'd forgotten about LATERAL wandering!

[Shadzman135]

I had to watch all five haha. thanks so much for posting these!

[morpheusatloppers]

Again, my pleasure. Just one sentence - "I was putting Slinky's on the escalators" - GENIUS!

[mpc1mil]

thanks again

[danthor19]

Well, I must say, Steven Wright exceeded expectations. Thank you (again) for uploading this master of comedy.

[morpheusatloppers]

My pleasure! So far, it appears that about a quarter of the viewers stuck with this through ALL FIVE PARTS. Not bad for YouTube viewers - most of whose attention-spans are limited to three minutes! (I can say that HERE, as none of them will have REACHED this part!!!)

[locuus]

Haha that's a good one.

[DaleATL2]

@morpheusatloppers -I reached this part, & I am mighty offended!

I owned "I Have A Pony" back when it was released. I have had it memorized to this day. Was surprised that this performance (1-5) had a few jokes that I had never heard before. Also, I was waiting for, "Every once and a while I like to go over to the window, look out, look up and smile for a satellite picture." Guess that one wasn't in here. 1 of my faves.

Thanks for posting these!! I have them downloaded now :-)
