Doug Stanhope - Excess in Moderation

[ihatethatwilguy]

Holy shiiit that bit at the end "You might be the first guy to do it right and be a hero for all of us. Take a chance and learn to fly there, Orville Wright"

[bec6143]

At 1:27 to 2:00 is just brilliant. I want to try mushrooms now....

[Allanlima213]

Yo I just uploaded 2 more of Doug's albums to my channel, go check them out. Its the albums "From Across The Street" and "Oslo: Burning The Bridge To Nowhere".

[jimmyshitbags]

eat the whole bag... amen.

[sandwichtaster]

@jimmyshitbags i did that once, easier said than done. I was fucking flipping out and causality broke, things occurred before their cause and time became non-linear. Everything turned into geometric forms and I thought I had died.

Rock on

[REGRETAM1N]

fucking a

[AfgHijackersExposed]

Cause of death excessive moderation lol

[axeljoserodriguez]

I like how he wakes back up at 2:00

[squeekieballs]

Where can I find one of these $1500 hookers

[lifesblood]

@squeekieballs call charlie sheen

[KTF0]

Wow, The mushrooms thing hit home for me. I did mushrooms once and ate the whole fucking bag mostly because I didn't know shit. It was amazing. Probably won't need to do it for long while.

[angryDAnerd]

this is great wisdom

[bramlettjacob]

Stanhope, Hicks, Carlin,, Enough Said

[pr0dd2k9]

@bramlettjacob Louis CK aswell

[bramlettjacob]

@bramlettjacob Yes you can add that man as well. Idk how I forgot

[fathersky5]

Um... Maybe he's just not my taste.

[robkijktmee]

[Synplicity]

Stig of the dump sent me here

[LighterOfDewbies]

What's funny is I took 5-7 grams once and I only saw colors...I'm guessing I must have a huge tolerance to Psilocybin

[WRF713]

@LighterOfDewbies I'm guessing that you either bought shitty mushrooms or you're lying.

[LighterOfDewbies]

@WRF713 Don't get me wrong it was an intense trip but I didn't physically see god.

[LighterOfDewbies]

Drug comedians rule!

[NeverMind9132]

I love this guy and he lives like 50 miles away in a town I visit. I'm afraid I'll meet him because my panties will get all damp and I'll probably embarrass myself in front of my friends but hey...

[beardedswine]

leary's a filthy hack that sucks ballz

[pauleypauleypauley]

sage advice.

stanhope is the new jesus

[Killerjosh89]

seriously? fighting comments on youtube. I SWEAR EVERY SINGLE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE (FACT) HAS TO ARGUE ABOUT SOMETHING, ANYTHING. goddamn, ppl so fuckin emotional they even hav to start it on youtube. lol so pathetic (my 2 cents, and a minute out of my life, but iv got plenty of minutes lol)

[azx999]

@Killerjosh89 Oh my God! I can't believe you said that!! You are so wrong!!

[FreshNostalgia]

No, youtube, Denis Leary is not "up next". Fuck off.

[somethinguncreative]

@FreshNostalgia LOL. Sometimes you gotta tell it whose boss.

[africaRBG]

@FreshNostalgia hear, hear.

[pretorious700]

Bill Hicks has more fawning fanboys because he died young. None of you pussies even know who Lenny Bruce was, and none of these guys would be able to say what they say without him.

[jjtheslayer69]

hes the shit ,so is hicks, calrlin, and joe

[BartelDoo]

What kind of horrendous cesspool is your mind if you can't just enjoy comedians without having to say which one is "better" all the time? Proof that God exists is right there, in that God didn't make me like YOU, and who the fuck knows what kind of karmic bullshit you're re-paying by having to think that way. You are your own torture-master, your preconceptions and insecurities giving you away all the time. You mock those who know that which you have refused to learn.

[cuntylishus]

Sorry...Hicks and Carlin were fucking hippies. Doug has none of their bullshit idealism. He's a libertarian, not a liberal, and for that I love him.

[CoolerKing37]

@cuntylishus If you think Hicks and Carlin are just hippie liberals, then you're a dumb motherfucker.

[nilbud]

@cuntylishus You're a toddler trapped in an adult's body and your way of looking at things is disgusting to real people. That's why they hate you, it's not just your stupid beliefs it's the tard way you deduce them and what you substitute for reasoning. Fag.

[cuntylishus]

@nilbud Do you enjoy living in a social and economic backwater? I hope the 'Tans buttfucked your grandparents when they were kids xx

[StruggleBunnies]

I want a comedian for president.

[juxtaposeher]

Yes everyone forgot carlin because he stopped being funny and grumpy and became just a whiny grumpy pissed off old guy.

[TurquoiseCowboy]

@juxtaposeher He was still funny when he was a whiny grumpy pissed off old guy. That was part of his act

[photohayes]

Does anyone know what show this is?

I'll try to look out for it online.

[sydneydowful]

I lived in new jersey around 4 and a half years ago when I saw his stand up on HBO or Showtime... It had to be the greatist find.. Hes amazing, and funny as fuck. Nothing like coming home from a shitty job in a shitty state smoking shitty weed to find a great comic like him that makes you piss yourself laughing

[MrJimmu]

As an Aberystwyth student I get to live the lifestyle advertised by Doug.

[CloudMeetsSky]

That's how I live. I get completely fucking wasted twice a year.

[MrDangerwarning101]

life is so incredibly short and there is fuck all after it. We wish there was and it keeps us at ease thinking there is, but there isn't so take you're body and soul and run so hard that when they drop you into the casket there is nothing left, live life on full speed, you have one chance and the ride is over, don't ever forget that, enjoy it now and you're your own worst enemy of success and discovery, push yourself, while you can!

[432b86ed]

Can someone please direct me to the video with the skit where he talks about "drinking "professionally", playing hurt, missing starts"? Peace, J

[MrDangerwarning101]

he points out the obvious, the best part of this is that we can realize, it's all ok, live a little, stop fuckin worrying all the time because you're above ground and life is short.

bronx66

[unlockthepower]

Stanhope is awesome!

[joelandrews1]

carlin - god.

hicks - jesus

stanhope - moses.

and all 3 of them would slap me if they could for making religious similes haha.

[repeatrinse]

@joelandrews1 I like their sermons better than church ones.

[jaydakap]

1500 dollar hooker sounds good until her pimp comes in and takes your goddamn money and leaves you alone to jack off while she is out fuckin her roided up coked up pimp luaghin and sexin his ass

[xyzoneon]

@jaydakap Then just kill the pimp, live a little.

[whitedeviltx]

I just found this guy today hes fuckin hillarious

[Blainne1]

@whitedeviltx If you like doug search Bill Hicks, he is the godfather of comedy.

[thrillphilkult]

Stanhope is indeed up there with Hicks & Carlin. Prophets, all!! Finally got to see him live here in Indianapolis recently.

[chillyrooster]

thls dude has same bday 3/25

[wearylady77]

12 people can suck the truth!

[falloutjosh184]

@WeNeedSomeGolfShoes ha. Actually Hicks is God, Carlin is Buddy Christ, Stanhope is "the Unholy Hungover Spirit" and we're the imagination of ourselves. (And just to fit Lenny Bruce in there, he can be Moses or someone else imaginary.)

[andthereisntone]

@falloutjosh184 lol, hilariously put.

[FatBluntsAllDay]

@falloutjosh184

I'd say Carlin is god, although I fuckin love Hicks. Carlin was just on a whole different level than any other comic.

[simmy3000]

@FatBluntsAllDay why is everyone going on about Carlin?? HE's good but I can think of about 30 other comics who are much funnier, Carlin's stand up seems very dated

[gcmb3790]

I AM THE ULTIMATE DOUG STANHOPE FAN!!!!

[SalSanMar3]

Now that George Carlin and Bill Hicks are dead, he is the last comedian of this kind.

[thegamecow]

@SalSanMar3 untill a new one comes

[mwells219]

big bird costume. have to try that.

[webgeek6]

This is one of my favorite clips.

"Eat the whole bag and see GOD!"

[DwayneJKing]

"Take a chance you might get it right and be a hero for all of us."

That is fucking awesome.

[eldorado61guy]

Sounds as Doug has met many of the type of people I have met

[VexT916]

I believe in this practice! Moderation is one's balancing of frivolous activities and one's responsibilities... so just do the damn thing at the same time and place!

Drugz and work, works for us!

[Visioncliff]

Why does everybody say Stanhope raises issues that haven't been brought up since Hicks? Has EVERYBODY forgotten Carlin?

[trisnjok]

@Visioncliff nobody forgot carlin, but carlin was here before hicks, so maybe they're saying that because of it...

[TheOtium]

@Visioncliff

Lenny Bruce started it all though.

[ElectricIndica420]

@Visioncliff carlin predates them in the 70's

[notthere83]

@Visioncliff nah but carlin only got critical rather late in his career, after bill died. and carlin had no problem selling his soul to advertise bullshit - and i agree with hicks on that issue.

carlin had great things to say but he was more of an opportunist than hicks or stanhope.

[Visioncliff]

@notthere83 Clearly, you've never listened to George Carlin in the 80s when he was calling the Reagan Administration Criminals and ranting about the FCC. Seven Dirty Words? That doesn't strike you as 'critical'? Stanhope was on Hidden Camera shows in the 90s, Did a Girls Gone Wild video, and hosted The Man Show. Everyone's an opportunist, and how do you know if fronted with the option, Hicks wouldn't have a sitcom or do advertising? You don't.

[notthere83]

@Visioncliff and i guess you've never heard hicks' bit about "orange drink". contrary to you, i've listened to all of the albums these three released at least 10-20 times.

[arielrebelfan1]

@Visioncliff cuz geroge carlin fuckin sucks and never could stand his real grounld like hicks or stanhope

[nilbud]

@arielrebelfan1 Hicks was a plagiarist and you don't know what the fuck you're on about.

[Psychologese]

@nilbud Leary was the plagiarist.

[nilbud]

@Psychologese Wrong thread chum, Leary is just a joke whore like mencia.

[Paradox3121]

@arielrebelfan1

You're retarded. I don't like Bill Hicks or Doug Stanhope nearly as much as I like George Carlin, but I'd have to be a closed-minded dipshit sucking the shit from Carlin's asshole to say that they "fuckin suck." So stop sucking shit and open your mind a bit.

[TheTopBloke]

@Visioncliff Carlin's not Hicks or Stanhope.

[AfgHijackersExposed]

@Visioncliff Carlin is the best.

[illuminatusds]

Reminds me of the famous quote:

"Everything in moderation. Including moderation."

[khazal12]

i may have favourited this like 10 times. youtube should really let me know if i've favourited something already. maybe like a little star next to the video or something ?

[Cam3210]

I'm all for moderation but sometimes it seems, moderation itself can be a kind of extreme.

[RDypak]

@Cam3210 there's an eric hoffer quote about asceticism being a deliberate attempt to reverse the chemistry of the soul, by suppressing our most passionate desires we get a sense of pride from what we have not done. why I quote that is that I think you are right, excessive moderation is a kind of personal or independent extremism..

[MrSpieldose]

that is the way I do it!!

[TheReaperx54]

In Chicago not only did Doug stick the bottle in his eye socket but also in his ear and nose and on all 3 ocassions he poured it

[DeathNeedsTime]

@1:25. True.

[allaboutdmagic]

AHHHHH, I love it when Doug sticks the bottle up to his eye socket for some reason. Luckily, even saw him do it live here in Dublin.

[Izahdnb]

Maybe God is in the bottle.

[MrSkate4weed]

weeeelllll, fuck this audience

[johhny3rubs]

doug stanhope is a son of a bitch

[kangaroobin]

favourite comedians are bill hicks, lenny bruce, stewart lee, george carlin, richard prior and charlie brooker even though he's not really standup.

oh and stanhope of course.

[johnstonutd]

kangaroobin, ive just got a book by charlie brooker for xmas, its fucking funny, have you seen "nathan barley"?

[MJFhobby]

you missed Armando Iannucci and Chis Morris

[allthatisandeverwas]

Hahaha what the fuck is he doing with the bottle towards the end? He'll probably die of alcoholism but you know what? More power to him. Die doing what you love.

[mar2871]

ya exactly some ppl die of sports but there looked as more of a hero...but hows it any different?

[Hashishin13]

Hes looking at it from a new perspective, down the hole. You never really know how something looks from a perspective till you actually try it.

Don't believe me? Try lying on your floor and looking around, it WILL be strange.

[tdp1909]

@allthatisandeverwas: Die of alcoholism? Yeah - especially when the label for it says 'X'! Whatever it is, it can't be good for the old liver...

[MokonaModokii]

who is so fucked up to wanna get to 80 and have a guy change your diapers being all they in a fucking chair with a needle plugged in your arm

enjoy that while ppl with common sense enjoy the real life

[tdp1909]

Whereas dying prematurely of alcohol poisoning is so much fun!

Then again, there's always Keith Richards - old as the hills, done every drug under the sun & still going...

[MokonaModokii]

so having a CHANCE of dying prematurely is better than maybe getting to a fucking age where ur kids cant stand u and put u inside a prison with a bunch of disgusting ppl like you

then i think we have very different view of what is living

u think quantity is better than quality its subjective

idk if u will rememeber this cuz of the alzheimer but think about this when u are dying

[tdp1909]

I think you're excess & I'm moderation!

Of course it's worth the risk 2 go 2 excess, but it's a smoker's fallacy that drugs will kill you in a more pleasant way than dying of old age.

Plus, though altered states are amazing, drugs can get really boring & fuck up your life.

I used to sing their praises, but since I favoured them over getting a decent degree, I've realised they aren't always some Bill Hicks' fairy tale (who, despite his boasts, was mostly teetotal during his seminal heights...)

[MokonaModokii]

u are missing the point its not about how painful or whatever ur death is its about ur life at least it is to me

going outside ur house could fuck up ur life but thats no reason for staying in

Bill was fucking unlucky thats it shit happens he would have probably died of lung cancer or sth like that anyway but at least several years later

but i guess some ppl feel better by having a job a house saying they dont smoke and buying a hummer being against marihuana and consuming alcohol

[nemirn]

BARTLESVILLE BRUINS!!!!

[zantrua]

good odin yes, this is epic

[temporaldisplacement]

I would like Stanhope and a comideian of his choice to do a "Lets get political" stand(sit)-off getting stoned throughout instead of drunk. In Spain or the Chech Repubilic (mexico?) etc...

[123sexton]

this guys is fukin hillariuse an gets tipsy by the end of his set lol

[dfdemt]

Tipsy hell! Watch "No Refunds". He admits that he gets smashed on stage and that he's funnier when hes drunk.

[carbo19]

inspirational

[GSnake8]

Stanhope gives me faith that the greats like carlin and hicks live on through people like him. Stanhope and Rogan are both way up there for me in terms of modern comics, everyone else is pretty much all pop-hype non-sensible trash.

[GnosticAtheist]

Indeed. Stanhope is unike, but I would group him with Carlin and Hicks if pressured.

[Toolband42O]

Its spelled unique you idiot

[GnosticAtheist]

You are probably an American.

This is my fourth language. Yes, we do make mistakes from time to time.

[Thrashaero]

@GSnake8 check out jim jeffries.

[zeusdia]

What a serious reality check. He speaks the absolute truth. Slaps the weaklings, huh? Sir, you are a reminder that life is too short for any BS. ROCK ON.

[SmokinBabies]

wow he actually inspires me, its nice to hear someone believe whole heartedly what theyre talking about

[gibbsies]

check out bill hicks

[gruelin1]

Doug is the first fucking guy who will tell you that he isn't jesus, YOU ARE.

[Crawenx]

Amen to that

[rocktheflow]

And yet putting them both up on a pedastool like that insults the both of them, because they both detest that sort of behaviour. Listen to what they say but don't idolise them, you'd just make them both sick in the stomach =P

[holm81]

@Kinjamaimai who's George Carlin then? the holy spirit i guess =]

[NZartfuldando]

@Kinjamaimai Does that make George Carlin Buddah?

[fifinhota]

You're right sir, correct sir.

Which is fine, sir, if that's your thing, if not... relax...

have a nice day, sir.

I appologize for any inconvenience I cause to you or you family, sir.

[tinchoargentino]

he really sucks

[kikon666]

Your probably one of those shit heads his talking about thats why

[tinchoargentino]

hey don't blame me. he is just not good, look around you'll find comedians that are way funnier and less retarded

[chaoszen1]

Doug Stanhope is the most socially relevant and hilarious comedian since Bill Hicks. If you can't see that, the moron in you is raisng it's ugly head.

At the moment there is no better comedian alive.

[RetardicA]

Go watch a Jeff Dunham special, douche bag.

[alicePlagueDoctor]

@chaoszen1

but..you know...each to their own n all that too

[falloutjosh184]

@chaoszen1 Naw, Carlin is God, Hicks is Jesus & Stanhope is the Holy Alcoholic Spirit.

[gbashari]

@chaoszen1 I'm sorry, but what about Louis CK?

[jdubbin78]

@chaoszen1 You said what i've been thinking for the past few years

[Clembo]

You're a fucking tool. I feel compelled to list the things in life less annoying and better for mankind than you:

-Cancer

-AIDs

-Landmines

-The Westborough Baptist Church

-Parkinsons disease

-Elizabeth Hasslebank

-Ethnic Cleansing

-Genital Warts

... and so on...

[EF2000CanFly]

I guess it makes you feel better for the short term eh.....

Then you go home....look at your sorry self in the mirror...and know you got it wrong! Somthing deep within says...I have got it wrong...my life is in vain.

Some kill themselves!

Some go mental!

Demons can possess some of you too!

Your sitting ducks for that too!

Wake up you dead men!

[EF2000CanFly]

Any fool taht would make a living mocking other and making fun of people is a weak, clown.

Doug need to get a real job. It look like the soft handed dude has never worked a day in his life

[omgitslukky]

And?

[drod0886]

He probably makes more money than in one show than you make all week.

[EF2000CanFly]

Is Doug like a father figuar to you guys of?????

This is an interesting study!

[greenday21]

epic

[EF2000CanFly]

Doug is a clown!

A first class jack ass!

You who think he is funny are fools too!

Especially you Greenday!

I have stopped syaing that society has gone to the dogs...out of respect for the dogs after talking to those like greenday!

[greenday21]

y do u give a fuck about society all u do is preach hate to people who dont have your belifes your a grad A shit muncher go watch CNN u turd

[EF2000CanFly]

The only reason I am here is to reach out to you and proclaim the gospel. I have never even listened to Doug. But I know what he is saying.

I have him on mute and 100% write to you!

Becuase I care! And like the Lord, I seek out the lost!

That is why I am here!

[greenday21]

if u havent even listend your a moron..how can u talk about somthing u have no idea of.and the lost dont need some preachy asshole telling them do as this guy in a book says or go to hell.fuck that

[EF2000CanFly]

Is it not interesting how Sodomites like this greenday parasite like Stanhope too?

I guess it makes sodomites feel better to see other people mock God and insist there is no God...therefore no judgement eh?

Keep fooling yourselves!

[greenday21]

Sodomites?u people love that word dont u..thats the your moma joke for nazis. =]

[benatssu]

you are christian yet are lacking in a viewpoint of knowledge of the teachings of christ...

forgiveness, tolerance, empathy, love, compassion; you have none of these qualities.. you say anyone making fun of others is a weak clown, and here you are calling doug a first class jackass, and all the people who think he is funny..

that makes you a hypocrite, and ur giving christians a bad (worse) name...

[zakooldude]

I can't wait to see him perform in May of this year in the South Bay. This is the best skit of his currently online, IMO. The part about the shrooms has me on the floor every time I watch it.

[mindaCat]

for everyone ho didnt knew

doug stanhope is secret child of bill hicks and carlin

[brainiacbelle]

I don't know if you've heard but two men can't make babies.

[Jotto999]

Oh wow, there is still a good comedian alive after all, I had no idea. Maybe there is hope after all.

[blupheonix44]

LMFAO!

[MikroTrip]

funny:)

[Babaldira]

I want to see God...

[anger4bill]

I love Mr Stanhope,he is the funniest motherfucker around.

[alkrin]

holy shit...a good comedian, who is still ALIVE...

[jrizos]

You're getting closer, Doug. Keep it up.
