Carlin would have loved this bit. Carlin's, bit "the rich do zero percent of the work, collect shitlloads of money and pay fuck all for taxes. The middle class do 90% of the work, pay all the taxes they work just to get by. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. We are all working for 1 fucking carnival cruise before we die.
@EraOfBloodtv Black Metal pays protection money to Nu Metal and bends over to be fucked by the long,not-as-popular-as-it-used-to-be-but-very-much-alive,hard cock of Grunge.Black Metal stands on street corners with Thrash Metal offering blowjobs for pocket-change.Punk Rock is Black Metal's sugar-daddy and Heavy Metal is Black Metal's shower-daddy.So,in short,yeah,it's not too bad in my opinion. ;)
i dont know bout yall but driving a fork lift around doesnt sound that bad at all if you ask me XD, i can drive it around after taking some add medicine, go home, smoke some weed and bulid retarted gadgets out of pvc pipes
doug stanhope is the only rationalist fun down to earth guy i've ever heard... he is a genius and if everyone in the world was like him the world would be a good place to spend the 80 years of life we've got
i dont buy shit. i take all the stuff people throw out and laugh my ass off at people enslaving themselves over material objects while they laugh their ass off at me for being poor but im not really poor im richer than them cuz they are my slaves hahahaaaa
@PhilanVortex Its true. I'm a poor Belgian writer and i'm going to live with lots of friends in an anti-squat building which is HUGE! It was an artschool a couple of years ago and has like 30 big empty rooms, but now we can build a commune to help young artists and musicians. When you have a shitjob (most jobs are shite btw) you don't have time to think what you really want in life. Money is becoming more and more irrelevant.
@MomoTheBellyDancer Thats a bunch a shit man. I don't think anyone is talented. You just have to find something you really like doing and try to be a master of it.
@Blitzed135 No cubicles involved thankfully. I manage stock in a warehouse and send it out to a store. It's quite soul destroying really but im using the experience as a character building exercise, it certainly forces you to become humble. I'm sure i'll find a career i like one day but for now i'm just taking care of business. Thank christ we have human beings like Stanhope to get us through!
@masterthehate2 Oh and I went to jail for punching a tranny in the face and didn't have the balls to tell the Texas troopers who beat off to bald eagles that I was in bed with a tranny until I found out it was a tranny.
its also true that we shouldnt HATE what we do. we should be enthusiastic. Enthusiasm will ALWAYS gravitate us towards what we REALLY want to do.
All i see here is people complaining about their shit jobs, and how the economy is fucked. complaining is only keep us in the same cycle of shittyness.
ps. lustfordeath is an idiot. why does he have that many thumbs up
I'm 24 and haven't worked a day of my life. And I gotta say, it's an awesome job! I love when people try to look down on me based on that fact. What people can't have for themselves, they frown and cry about. Consumerism n capitalism have paved the way for my family. People need to stop bitching and save n invest in original ideas. Not spend thousands of dollars for christmas gifts every year and insist on having the biggest LED TV. We all could have gotten a piece of the pie but too late!

@PiPphiltitley Im starting work tomorrow actually, but real laid back, shady, cool, clean work. Im glad someone can appreciate the no work policy tho, most people including some of my friends leech off the government and free load their way through life by stealing other peoples shit. That system doesn't work too well in the long run, but fuck it if it works!! Idk why H2GM09 is getting so pissed? Live love laugh, not work, slave, and die!!
@datazndood thats great for lazy bastards like you but imagine if the whole world was so fucking lethargic? we would still be in the bronze age worshiping our own farts. You're right the world doesn't necessarily need you, clearly you don't have alot to offer this planet but don't turn your nose up at people who do work hard everyday cuz we're the only reason you can live the life you do.
@H2GM09 Spoken like a true slave. The ironic part is I am working tomorrow because I just bought a car.

@BillKiernan Society's are built on myths. Without them things would never run. Myth's such as happiness, liberty, equality, the American dream and etc. The judicial system is a periphery of that myth, it upholds intangible values that are inconsistent with reality, enter lawyers and there you have your actors. The dirty secret to civilization is that there's nothing civil about it, it's just a well constructed lie so that those who are privileged with power can hold on to it.
@WATITDOO16 "it's just a well constructed lie so that those who are privileged with power can hold on to it" indeed. the lucky ones are the ones that end up in the civilizations that throw the biggest bone to those not priviledged, and who give them a shot, albeit a longshot, to become one of the priveledged. aside from that, it's always been the same game, staus quo fighting with all its might to maintain itself. fuck it, human nature, i don't think there's a way out.
@BillKiernan You got a point there, the idea behind giving some sort of shot to the underprivileged, enter a meritocratic society. Some semblance of hope for the dreamers but at the end of the day, realistically speaking merit can only get you so far and even that is hindered by the fact that if you're born underprivileged you're access to means will reflect that, which calls into question the whole giving them a real shot or just giving them the illusion of false hope to keep them working.
@WATITDOO16 "if you're born underprivileged you're access to means will reflect that" indeed. and even when you "make it," in that case, you're still an outsider. you're never "one of them."
@BillKiernan Which begs the question if social classes are divided on things that aren't so politically correct, like race, religion, culture and of course income. The modern day tragic hero is the man who finally makes it but has nobody to share it with, he becomes alienated by his own success.
@BillKiernan I hope you don't work a shitty job, and I hope you have more ambitious designs than the comments section on a youtube video. You are wasted on here you Bastard.
I love listening to Hicks, Carlin, and people like Doug. They keep me sane in this insane and unjust world. They're actually down to earth and analyze whats really going on; reading between the lines of truth and lies.
@fahim113 I can't remember a time when news anchors actually had a clue what they were talking about whenit comes to societal functioning, esp compared to people who spend their lives observing society like comedians do.
@Badgerinthenight Damn right. RIP George Carlin too...one of the greats of the last few decades. Compare him (and stanhope) to bill o'rielly's popularity...and i get scared for humanity's prospects!
@fahim113 This is and always has been the job of a comedian in society. If you ask me what's sad, I'd say it's that most comedians these days are absolute shit and don't contribute anything to the intellectual integrity of society. Of course doug stanhope isn't even that good of a comedian, but he's better than most.
yeah i hate working too, been working for 3 years now 8 hours a day and its horrible how much time you waste ...slavery never really got abolished it just got cut down to 8 hours or 12 how many you work
@americanu197 take the money you saved, say 'bye bye' to your 'job' and go live like a saint/beatnik. pick up an instrument, write your stuff down and don't let this system get you down. you will have a blast in this short life on this planet :) trust me. Don't work too much.
I used to work hard, had a good work ethic. I thought that is just the way it is. Then I got a hernia. My own body gave out and was telling me not to work hard.
He's not saying it's cool to be lazy, he's saying that if you get your priorities straight your life will feel less like work and more like you, just doing what you would do for free anyway. Look at him -- he makes it look easy to go onstage, get drunk and tell the truth, but I guarantee he works his ASS off on his material so he doesn't suck, and when the people laugh it validates his job.
I was talking to my older sister about how I want to weld together cool-looking frames with joints and with my electrical degree and computer knowledge make them into robots and I got bitched at about how it won't make any MONEY!!! MONEY........
By my reckoning, Doug is the 3rd best standup in history, and the most influential act currently working anywhere in the world. Even crappy mainstream acts are taking a significant influence from him now - unfortunately mostly in the form of stolen jokes
@andrewsurtees He is always way out on the edge and not afraid to say the unsayable.More than that he has a great amount of discipline and talent.If he would dumb down his act he probably would have his pick of TV shows and movies to make.But he doesn't sell himself out.You have to respect that.
@hairyneil YeS it is a lITtle bit anNOying. WhY doesN't it bothEr you that hE's sounding dIstOrted all the tIme? All he needs is somebody to talk to him about his technique or equipment, but I suspect that he doesn't do listening to advice and is the kind of arsehole who sees constructive criticism as a personal attack.
@wyrda222 As I haven't met the bloke I cannot say from experience, but that is what I suspect. When you have suspicions do you refuse to air them simply out of fear of using long words and so being thought too well educated? If so that's very sad.
@Badgerinthenight There is a reason he is the leader of the group of comics called "the unbookables" The language is part of his bi-polar mind at work.
@Badgerinthenight Way to totally misunderstand my comment. My point was that there are a lot of loser comedians out there who curse just to curse and that's not really all that amusing. Stanhope is intelligent, and altho he curses a lot, they're well placed with meaning behind them, bringing us to the part of my comment you must have overlooked .. where I said he's "totally awesome". It's ok, dude.
@MagzHalo It's entirely possible to think he's totally awesome at the same time as thinking that "Cursing for cursing's sake" is not in reference to this video.Considering that you didn't actually state in your comment whether Stanhope's use of curse words were "well placed with meaning behind them" or not then it is perfectly natural to assume that you were actually referring to his use of language as "not awesome".If you don't want people to misinterpret your comments,I suggest you be clearer.
@Badgerinthenight Well, since you're the only person to have misinterpreted my comment, I think I'm doin all right as is. Sorry you didn't understand it, but that's what we get online in return for ease of communication. Someone's gonna misinterpret things. No harm, no foul. You have yourself a super day :)
"They mold the laws for who ever is in Power". Wow, I thought I was the only one who noticed that. The richest 1% gets to do what ever they want. That is the very definition of Captialism. People who have the captial (money) are the Kings !
Stanhope is one of the most under rated comic's of all time. He is definitely in Carlin's league when it comes to life perspective and philosophy. There will come a time when we wake up, realize this reality is just a dream. We are ALL slaves, regardless of our "financial statements" or "tax bracket"... We could live SO MUCH MORE FREE if we realized money isn't the only way. A civilization focused on spreading life throughout this universe, as was intended, by our creators. It's time to wake up
Yeah well in the US the prison system is a commercial profit-making set-up with stocks and shares floated on the Stock Market.
Watch Kevin Booth's (Bill Hicks' best friend) documentary 'American Drug War' for the inside info on victimless crime, corporate profits from the prison system and other injustices
i agree. stupid ppl are working VERY hard to overpopulate the planet, squander resources on pointless shit they donrt need, and fuck up this once beautiful world. nice one. still, our free, one shot, mega energy source is running out. our house of cards lifestyle will collapse with it. few will survive the converging crisis of overpopulation, energy shortage and environmental collapse.
@JustinR81 i hear you... i just found this guy now.. he says some funny shit .. not exactly new thinking but its still good. its wack how everyone gives you a thumbs down for expressing your opinion.. you should get thumbs up for that.
@tOOballs Yeah I know, thanks man. It is ironic considering the fans of Stanhope or anyone with an enlightened point of view seem to be the most closed off to any criticism as if their own ideas are being personally attacked. I totally agree with Stanhope that's the thing but I personally don't find him that funny or inspiring and who really gives a shit because it's only my opinion and DS himself wouldn't even care. It's just like bargain basement misanthropy to me.
@JustinR81 no it doesn't, there are no other comedian like Stanhope and very few address consumerism. Doug is a comedy genius, and well established at that. your shit just simply doesn't apply here, it's not carrot top. way to be a hater douche, you fuckhead.
@dr1345 It's funny because recently Stanhope has become my favorite comedian. I've gotten my girlfriend, brother and friends into his comedy as well, so when someone writes something that's over a year old it may not be relevant, just like yourself.
@JustinR81 yeah it's real funny when you openly shit on the brilliant gifted comedian, and then take all your trolling and back away like a bitch. yes, it is quite entertaining ha ha ha! now go watch Russel Peters and Mencia, they make funny voices and joke about their strict immigrant parents! oohhh!!
p.s. see i don't like Beatles, but i don't shit on them, because i recognize that they are talented musicians who produced quality music. it's just not to my taste.
@dr1345 Dude, you're a fuckin loser, as if I'd back-pedal to placate someone like yourself. I barely remember writing that comment and if it offends you that badly you're either so pathetic you have your self esteem hitched on the back of Stanhope or you're the guy writing angry blogs in the middle of night because you think your opinion is important- In both cases he probably doesn't want stupid fans like you anyway. I watched Stanhope in Vancouver last month, I'm a legit fan. Please fuck off.
@JustinR81 lol! well you did back-pedal like a bitch and got called on it, and now you mad. YOU are the fucking loser. because it's better to trash someone and then stick to your principals. that at least shows character. and no, going to a live show doesn't make you a real fan, you tool. as for me, i don't write blogs, so don't try imitate Doug, like a fucking hack you are. and I've been to his show in chicago, had a blast too. so go fuck yourself. you're not a fan, you're a cocksucking troll.
@dr1345 That was meant to be like Doug.. you're a smart one. Getting a lesson on principles from a guy spewing hate at strangers who might have a different opinion? Think of all the activities in the world and weigh that up in context, I feel bad for you dude, seriously. You're either severely poor or a social retard or both. There's no possible way someone like you could have anything remotely good going on. Don't wanna get dragged down to your level any more. You truly are a fuckin loser.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
were talking about worst actors,, since he brought up brendan fraiser,, sure he is a VERY bad actor,, i figure a few more we can add to the list, Edward Norton was one of them, i felt like he made the movie Fight Club suck. He always seems to fuck things up in movies,,
Brendon Frasier seriously is the worst actor alive,,, if there is someone worse,, post in reply. Im sure there could be one worse, but damn Stanhope picked a shitty ass actor lol.
now i disagree, he was 'watchable' in fight club, but i think Brad PItt really carried him in the movie. If Ed Norton wasnt in the movie, would u still watch, me personally sure. But if Brad Pitt wasnt in, defiantly not. Hmm hopefully that doesnt sound gay lol
I rarely laugh at Carlin, Stanhope or hicks, yet I love all their material. It makes so much fuckin sense. R.I.P to that old fuck Carlin and Hicks. I hope one day when I make it in showbusiness I'll meet this guy. Hopefully that'll be before the government or some disease conveniently kills him off.
i met him after a show in sweden, he seemed dazed and unhappy to see me.
i got an autograph.
you should meet him after his show, its easier to meet doug than you think. he's very underground. He sells his own bootlegs after the show and sign your shit
@lotzx5 nobody!!!! Stanhope carries the torch of the mighty fallen greats Carlin and Hicks....period, anyone else even close to Stanhope, who can point out how fucked the world is(especially here in america) and make me laugh till i piss myself, please let me know about him cuz far as Im concerned its all about Doug!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
S-O-F-T!!! softest comic this side of the pecos.
a 40+ comic talking down the u.s. is pathetic. most countries would grind his ass into oblivion for this type of entertainment. it's soooo easy to say everything sucks. takes absolutely no brains to come up with this shit. here is a 40 yr old man, wearing clothes a 20 something would be embarrassed to wear, and taking positions that are of a teenage mentality. no nuance, no wit, no flair and plenty of gray hair...down there.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yes, by all means, let's follow this asshole and his trenchant insights into a better tomorrow. and a moron named stanhope (poor man's tom waits) shall lead us. money equals morality; capital means no capital punishment..blah, blah, blah....that being said, brendon frasier sucks.
I believe the word he's looking for toward the end is MANIPULATIVE...and he's FUCKEN A right it is!!

I love listening to Hicks, Carlin, and people like Doug. They keep me sane in this insane and unjust world. They're actually down to earth and analyze whats really going on; reading between the lines of truth and lies.

@fahim113 This is and always has been the job of a comedian in society. If you ask me what's sad, I'd say it's that most comedians these days are absolute shit and don't contribute anything to the intellectual integrity of society. Of course doug stanhope isn't even that good of a comedian, but he's better than most.

He's not saying it's cool to be lazy, he's saying that if you get your priorities straight your life will feel less like work and more like you, just doing what you would do for free anyway. Look at him -- he makes it look easy to go onstage, get drunk and tell the truth, but I guarantee he works his ASS off on his material so he doesn't suck, and when the people laugh it validates his job.

hotmercedes 5 months ago
@Badgerinthenight Way to totally misunderstand my comment. My point was that there are a lot of loser comedians out there who curse just to curse and that's not really all that amusing. Stanhope is intelligent, and altho he curses a lot, they're well placed with meaning behind them, bringing us to the part of my comment you must have overlooked .. where I said he's "totally awesome". It's ok, dude.
MagzHalo 5 months ago
@MagzHalo It's entirely possible to think he's totally awesome at the same time as thinking that "Cursing for cursing's sake" is not in reference to this video.Considering that you didn't actually state in your comment whether Stanhope's use of curse words were "well placed with meaning behind them" or not then it is perfectly natural to assume that you were actually referring to his use of language as "not awesome".If you don't want people to misinterpret your comments,I suggest you be clearer.

Stanhope is one of the most under rated comic's of all time. He is definitely in Carlin's league when it comes to life perspective and philosophy. There will come a time when we wake up, realize this reality is just a dream. We are ALL slaves, regardless of our "financial statements" or "tax bracket"... We could live SO MUCH MORE FREE if we realized money isn't the only way. A civilization focused on spreading life throughout this universe, as was intended, by our creators. It's time to wake up

@tOOballs Yeah I know, thanks man. It is ironic considering the fans of Stanhope or anyone with an enlightened point of view seem to be the most closed off to any criticism as if their own ideas are being personally attacked. I totally agree with Stanhope that's the thing but I personally don't find him that funny or inspiring and who really gives a shit because it's only my opinion and DS himself wouldn't even care. It's just like bargain basement misanthropy to me.
JustinR81 2 years ago
@JustinR81 no it doesn't, there are no other comedian like Stanhope and very few address consumerism. Doug is a comedy genius, and well established at that. your shit just simply doesn't apply here, it's not carrot top. way to be a hater douche, you fuckhead.
dr1345 7 months ago
@dr1345 It's funny because recently Stanhope has become my favorite comedian. I've gotten my girlfriend, brother and friends into his comedy as well, so when someone writes something that's over a year old it may not be relevant, just like yourself.

@JustinR81 yeah it's real funny when you openly shit on the brilliant gifted comedian, and then take all your trolling and back away like a bitch. yes, it is quite entertaining ha ha ha! now go watch Russel Peters and Mencia, they make funny voices and joke about their strict immigrant parents! oohhh!!
p.s. see i don't like Beatles, but i don't shit on them, because i recognize that they are talented musicians who produced quality music. it's just not to my taste.

@dr1345 Dude, you're a fuckin loser, as if I'd back-pedal to placate someone like yourself.

I watched Stanhope in Vancouver last month, I'm a legit fan. Please fuck off.

@JustinR81 lol! well you did back-pedal like a bitch and got called on it, and now you mad.

dr1345 6 months ago
@dr1345 That was meant to be like Doug.. you're a smart one. Getting a lesson on principles from a guy spewing hate at strangers who might have a different opinion? Think of all the activities in the world and weigh that up in context, I feel bad for you dude, seriously. You're either severely poor or a social retard or both. There's no possible way someone like you could have anything remotely good going on. Don't wanna get dragged down to your level any more. You truly are a fuckin loser.

a 40+ comic talking down the u.s. is pathetic. most countries would grind his ass into oblivion for this type of entertainment. it's soooo easy to say everything sucks. takes absolutely no brains to come up with this shit. here is a 40 yr old man, wearing clothes a 20 something would be embarrassed to wear, and taking positions that are of a teenage mentality. no nuance, no wit, no flair and plenty of gray hair...down there.
