Dennis Wolfberg - One Night Stand (3 of 3)

[John76Adams]

I must agree...one of the top 2 or 3 FUNNIEST comics of ALL time....love Dennis Wolfberg...miss him...R.I.P. .

[pesadilla143]

My new favourite comedian. Why do the funny ones always die :(

[VERB65]

Sad that this medical procedure that he's joking about was probably the start of his diagnosis of Colon cancer that killed him. I wonder if he knew at this time he was dying?

[mistermattmoose]

LORD I MISS THIS GUY!! HILARIOUS!!

[ProdigalSin]

One Of My Favorites He Was Very Funny. Thanks for youtube

[2legit64]

You Tube is wonderful in that I get to relive great moments in television over and over again. I loved this guy. His humor is hysterical and timeless. I can only imagine how huge his career would have been had he lived.

[orvacephus]

amen he was a great talent lost much too early

[maychop]

R I P... a true KING OF COMEDY ... !!!!

[Waterlow56]

His style compelling he used vocabulary so effectively. Ashamed that I lost touch and didn't know of sad demise. Ironic it was colon bearing in mind his wonderful ditty on the topic. Is interesting that of the few comedians I enjoy, Michael McIntyre and Tim Minchin, both have Wolfberg attributes. Delivery (MM) and vocabulary (TM). Will enquire at HMV for dvds but pessimistic. Have re-watched, after 25 years, the vids here and laughed continuously. Yes RIP and thank you.

[Nadatin]

My wife and I had seen him twice around the year that he died. His second show, although funny, he spent alot of time doing jokes about his kids...he was going to miss them, and looking back at that night, I understand why I found it odd that he was talking so much about them...very talented and sincere gentleman...very missed.

[Langerrealty]

I had the privelage of seeing him live at a comedy show in Long Island--I believe he was one of the funniest comics ever to grace this world. I truly hope his family knows how talented and special he was.

[kamikazei]

I had no idea he passed away from cancer - too sad.

I only learned about him back then when I saw him on a rerun of 'Just for Laughs' and knew that I had to see him preform. I too caught him live in the early 90s and laughed so hard that my head ached afterwards!

It really was his facial expressions that made him so hilarious that gave the right emphasis when he needed it. His colonoscopy bit is probably the hands-down funniest performance EVER...

You will be missed Dennis...

[jontau1]

For 'iralarry': Dennis did have cancer in his colon, but it had metastacized to many of his internal organs, beginning with the skin cancer known as malignant melanoma. His promoter was explaining to the concert manager in my home town, why he had to cancel, after two postponements (I had seen him at this venue once), and I too was despondent...the same disease killed my brother in 1992. Dennis was indeed a BRILLIANT comic...and I actually wept, after hearing that he died, and the reason why...

[themostestcatlady]

He actually died of malignant melanoma on 10/3/94. The good news is that there is now an (albeit brief) entry on Wikipedia about him. I would have to agree with you that he was the funniest guy who ever lived, with perhaps the exception of Rodney.

[manichaze53]

this was great. i have to ask though, has technology improved since then? or at least will it in the next 19 years?

[ud777]

saw this saturday on hbo comedy so glad i could get a chancee to watch it again thanks

[1worldcurrency]

Saw him at Caroline's in Manhattan, only about 100 seats. I've seen many of the most famous stand-ups live, and they get an enthusiastic welcome when they take the stage, as did Dennis.

Except one guy at a table totally lost it within the first few seconds. People were looking over curiously, but I understood completely. Dennis's first facial twitch had reminded him of previous routines, which never failed to induce complete hysterics if you liked his shtick.

My favorite stand-up ever.

[555sss]

This guy was outrageous. Saw him a few times late night in the 80's. Laughed till I hurt.

[arewethereyet1]

Part 3.

[smitty8054]

I love blue humor as much as anyone. But DW proves that it is much more difficult to work "clean" while still being hilarious. I only wish that I could have seen him live. Gone far before his time.

[bbstopit]

How does he prove it?

[JTB1956]

Pure gold. Without a doubt the best comic I've ever seen.

[GravitationRocks345]

I can't breathe after listening to this guy. My favorite part is the doctor visit.

[iffytipton]

I am thrilled beyond belief that I finally found these. I have been looking for anything Dennis Wolfberg for years. Hilarious Still.....

timeless...classic...BRILLIANT­!

[BeatleUniversity]

I finally found the genius of Dennis Wolfberg online. I have been looking for videos of this comic genius for years! I miss him very much. God bless him!

[stumiller]

If I laugh any harder at the Fiber One and rigid sigmoidoscopy routines, I may collapse. This is pure classic.

[JohnnyStorm2007]

Imagine this comic line up...Opening, Mitch Hedberg...then Dennis Wolfberg, and the main comic...Sam Kinison. Now I know why they call it Heaven.

[wbsterling]

Oooops! Maybe this IS it. I hadn't listened to the entire thing. WHAT A FIND!!! THE best ever!!!

[wbsterling]

He was the greatest!! Wonder if anybody ever saw his skit about getting a proctology exam. It may have been THE funniest skit I've ever seen. It was on TV many years ago and I haven't been able to find any record of it. What a shame to lose that.

RIP Dennis. Such a Deal!!!

[jonnybgood88]

Brilliant RIP

[iralarry]

I have to suggest that this is the funniest guy who ever lived. I laughed so hard I woke my wife upstairs. I had been wondering recently where he disappeared to and I discovered he died, of colon cancer no less in the early 90's! and I was despondent for days. I went to wiki him and there is no entry, NONE, ladies and gentleman. I feel compelled to start it out. Please, start or add a wiki entry, he so deserves it, so does his family. Such a loss,but the vids are always here. RIP dear man.

[MikeUrciolo]

@iralarry I had the exact same thing happen to me! I was watching it with the headsets on, and I was laughing so hard, I shook the bed and woke her up!

[MetuNtr]

Does it get any better than this?? No. I remember the first time I ever saw him was on Byron Allen's late night show (yeah, he had one!) and I was screaming!!!

I was so sorry to learn of his passing and I hope he his blessed and safe. Even if it was just for a few minutes, he surely made me smile. Love you and miss you, Dennis. The angels must have needed you at home.

[squonkdh]

Saw Dennis in Irvine Ca Improv 1988,I have 3 girls,twins were second batch just like Dennis,but his are boys,so I immediately identified with him.Funniest guy I ever saw.Met him and talked with him after the show.The most humble and genuine person I have ever met....Miss him so much.Hope his boys and mom are doing well.

[milwaukeewave]

Saw him live in Indianapolis about 15 years ago with my first wife. I was in tears at least 3 different times during his set. Still goes down for me as one of the funniest to ever live. And so underrated, mostly because video is so hard to come by. A great posting. Thanks!

[ThickAzABrick]

Just the visual of Tony the Tiger "squatting", will keep my laughing the rest of my life

[woodylynn]

the funniest comedien ever - hands down !!!

thanks for posting this - i have never laughed harder

[Slightlybent]

Thanks so much for posting this Toptrotter! Dennis was always one of my favorites and it is so hard to find any of his work around. If you have anymore Dennis video, please post!

[MIT1369]

Hands down one of the great unappreciated comics of our days. Thank you so much for posting this. I've been looking for his stuff for years!

[bigbandbob]

Dennis has always been my favorite comic!!

He was brilliant!!!!

R.I.P.

[kanaiela]

I saw Dennis and George Wallace in a double bill in Portland in either late 80's or early 90's in Portland Ore. I never laughed so hard in my life. At that point most of use never realized that he was fighting cancer at the time though we had heard later. George was funny but Dennis brought down the house. God bless him. And I'm sure he is entertaining all of those in the heavens above. God bless his wife and children. Thank you toptrotter.

[Maghorn]

Oh that's so damn funny. This brought the rare laugh to my day, a much needed one. I wish this guy hadn't died. He could have offered so much more laughter this world needs.

[DrNSalmon]

Comic genius. Classic routine of one of the funniest human beings ever.

[VassagoX66]

I've been looking for this patricular show for quite some time- thanks so much for posting!

[tomg212]

Saw this show on HBO last Saturday night. I had seen it a long time ago and was delighted to see it shown again.

[audionautix]

An incredible talent taken too soon. One of the funniest. Incredible comedic timing.

[maregee]

i've been searching the net for YEARS trying to find him. Thank you!

[cartfanhef]

This guy is (was) freakin FUNNY! RIP D.W.

[Rzlodn]

[wchapman643]

[Kroy5312]
