Hangin' With Mr. Cooper

[TubularMonkey]

Hilarious. I wonder if Raven Simon gets invited to those get togethers...

[digitalshrub]

Asterios, I love that I came on youtube to do some research for a Hangin' with Mr. Cooper sketch I'm writing, only to find your monologue as the top hit for my search! I loved it!

[Asterios]

ahahahaha - morrison!

[BuddhaBot]

hahaha, dude that was pretty random, but funny. I love watchin monolouges that make me go WTF. Nice.

[viewer3]

Personally I thought this video was hilarious. Yeah, there are some down times in the monologue, but what monologue doesn't have down times? Besides, the high points are what make this monologue great, and the premise itself of "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper", which was an amazing show, and I love Mark Curry by the way. I love the lines: "In 1996 to even say the phrase 18 billion dollars... cost 2 billion dollars" and "One night while dreaming... I had a dream." Simply awesome.

[geoffreyg]

hey, thanks for the compliments =) you do comedy yourself?

[viewer3]

Yeah, I do a little I guess. Mostly acting/improv/and trying my hand at stand up in a way at times as well. I am also thinking of going to Chicago to join I.O. or Second City.

[skydome29]

still a load of crap a month later

[geoffreyg]

you talking about what's coming out of your mouth?

[stevemeltzer1]

my big fat greek hack (think joey fatone plus 50lbs)

lay off the baklava, i think its affecting your "art"

[Asterios]

wow, old gags from an old man. good luck finding a wife, you 36 year old asshole.

[skydome29]

I dont plan on having a crappy one...im just being frank and honest with my opinion, wont say anything more except good luck in the biz.

[skydome29]

my perception of this guys terrible comedic skill keeps getting worse everytime i force myself to watch this...is he performing to 7 year olds? i still don't get why they feel the need to give this clown pitty laughs

[Asterios]

ahahahahahaha - i gotta admit, i love a good dressing down, and those are some pretty good slams against me and this monologue. still, you're a hater without a life - i looked at your profile, "skydome" - great pick with that "best of family guy". real original. sorry this monologue wasn't easy enough for you to find funny, and have a great crappy life. -asterios

[skydome29]

ok get away from the fact that h.w.m.c was a good show and concentrate for two seconds on how shitty that monologue was, it was horrible and anyone who thought that was funny??? oh wait is that an applause and laugh bar i see above the set? no eh well then i guess the audience had an inside joke against the guy b/c thats the only way i see them even cracking a smile on this guys sub par crap

[Asterios]

eh, feel free to fuck off, pal.

[stevemeltzer1]

hack=you

[Asterios]

hah, well, i'll take that under advisement.

[mrobin26]

f that hanging with mr. cooper was a great show. raven simone had so much potential! and still might

[Vidaberry]

hilarious!

[Lebowsk1]

funny! hard to believe a show called "Hanging with Mr Cooper" ever got made. Hanging with Mr Cooper lol

[PhuckHue]

this sucks

[JackTraven2525]

This guy is annoying

[Asterios]

yeah, mr. cooper is annoying.

[stevemeltzer1]

you're not funny man. you have the same tone of the conversation and remembering mr. cooper existed was one funny thing and you proceeded to assault me with that one thing

[Asterios]

wanna try that comment again, but make a little sense this time?

[stevemeltzer1]

K so this guy maintains the same tone the entire conversation and does not aalter his delivery of his "jokes" He comes off as annoying because the joke is the same joke and nothing gets newer or wittier...just mr. cooper ref after mr. cooper ref. This guy should quit what hes doing and go into computers or something... anything would be better than this crapolaa

[Asterios]

yeah, you're right steve. what comics delivering monologues should do is widely vary their tone of conversation between each and every line, to create hilarity. the first line should be delivered passionately - the next line, with utter sadness. the third should have a hilarious foreign accent, and the fourth should be stated like paul lynde.

[Asterios]

to address your point that this monologue, entitled "hangin' with mr. cooper," should be something more than just references to "hangin' with mr. cooper", the topics should also change with every other word. i'm sorry for not jamming in nods to the war in iraq, michael richards, and britney & k-fed. finally, i spent 5 years working in computers, so i'm tired of them. just like i'm tired of people like you who, at 36 years old, have nothing better to do than argue about videos on youtube.

[stevemeltzer1]

this videos boring and at no time do i say "why didn't i think of that' or "that was clever" somthing that usually comes after a good joke. The outlandish nods to paul giamatti and $18b don't make sense to me and are kind of insulting. Can you explain it?  Like why is he going on about this in the first place and what is the context?

[stevemeltzer1]

maybe i'm going about this all wrong but I'm pretty sure there's nothing in this based on anything real that has the ability in the first place to turn into something funny to begin with.

aspect of mr. cooper + something irrelevent and bombastic= every line of this dreary monologue

[Asterios]

well, hey, at least i struck a chord with you to the point where you keep coming back. if the monologue was unoriginal or mediocre you'd probably have forgotten about it by now. i stand by the fact that a 36 year old artie lang fan should probably be doing something more with his time than trolling youtube for comment fights (and i say that as someone who, literally, has worked for MADtv so i got nothing against lange).

[stevemeltzer1]

that's great, yea change the topic.

[stevemeltzer1]

you worked for madtv? you mean the same madtv that let debra wilson annoy the fuck out of everyone and bring black women stereotypes to a new low? The same madtv that puts mmcd in every single sketch? the same madtv that gave david spades bitch on the showbiz show his break? wow i'm in awe can i have your autograph so i can recycle it and hope it turns into a tree that would be funnier than this bs?

[Asterios]

well, first off, you can't recycle paper into a tree - though i suppose you could mulch the paper and use it to fertilize a seedling. second: you list two artie lange videos in your favorites, so don't claim the high ground when it comes to madtv - he got his start at mad. third: wow, you're really sad, aren't you? well i can't say i blame you - 36 and nothing to show for it. take care.

[stevemeltzer1]

again i'm not 36, and stop changing the topic, your monologue sucks, your dad hated you when you were a kid, get over it

[Asterios]

hey, i'd be pissed off if i were 36 and in an internet flamewar myself. i mean, god knows you should have a family by now, or some kind of life. feel free to take out the frustrations of a failed, miserable existence on this video comment board - though less effective, it's at least cheaper than therapy.

[stevemeltzer1]

you've lost your mind. you are a complete irrational idiot whos lowest-common-denomonator bullshit. If i had the choice of being me or you, I would be me because someday I will be 37. You on the other hand will always be accountable for having a hand in this complete rubbish. You're a hack, embrace it. Successful hacks like peter kay and larry TCG are successful because they can embrace it

[SirDude]

Haha, zing!

Nice monologue by the way; it was frickin' hilarious.

Paul Giamatti is awesome too.

[Asterios]

Thanks, man!

[PlexFilm]

Decent

[DasKapital]

haha, jack black?? maybe, i dont know really.

[ginivisian]

its funny cause its true!
