  • Why are you translating?

  • @MsCathy42 Sest mitte igaüks maailmas räägib inglise keelt.

  • 4:41 "WHO HADN'T PAID HIS FUCKIN TAXES"

  • Now it's whack a mole 2012

  • Come to Japan to see peerless train system. ;)

  • this makes me want to watch a real comedian

  • it might be just me, but i think the audience is not really bright. at least not while having to translate English.

  • I am an American, and yet despite this setback, I can empathize with the venom spewed at us from other countries. However, need i remind you thatt WE INVENTED THE GOD DAMNED BIG MAC! SO FUCK YOU! ..and i mean that with all my heart. [falls down dead from a coronary]

  • @ZachsMind i presume u r placing the big mac in the food category and u seem to consider it great.. poor u

  • Hahahahahahahahahhaa oh damn...you guys are almost as good as he was. The fact that you all came on, presumably listened to him, and he's a comedian. Yet you're still some of the most miserable conglomerations of skin this world has ever had the cruelty to spawn, fighting over little bits of nothing as if...as if your opinions matter on youtube! Bahahhahahahaha oh shit! I'm not bashing any of you don't worry! I need people like you guys, your pointless misery makes my day!

  • So much hate for americans. You people are exhibiting some of the factors of americans you claim to hate so much, good job.

  • Even on the video of a comedian people still manage to start arguing and raging against each other about their own small and meaningless opinions. It seems some idiots still can't rise above their own petty prejudices.

    Pathetic.

  • Can you all, for the FUCKING LOVE OF GOD, knock it off with the xenophobia for FUCK'S SAKE! This man is teaching you not to do that, he is telling you why you are stupid to think that way, and yet you type away like morons, WHILE WATCHING/LISTENING TO HIM SPEAK. We are all PEOPLE! no one person is "better" than the next person. He says fuck a lot, all i hear is love. NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET THE FUNNY MAN BE FUNNY

  • The subtitles are annoying though

  • Awesome, Lewis Black in my country and on a channel I can actually get.

  • So what he is saying is the only reason a black president is in charge is to hide the dumb white president before him ?

  • IM THE GREATEST FUCKER HERE, AND ALL YOU SNIIVELING SHITS WOULD DIE WITHOUT ME

  • @saintconnnor within a week i will kill you... then eat you just to absorb your power.

  • @saintconnnor

    *kills you. Then eats you to try and absorb your power*

  • He's getting old. His delivery isn't as sharp as it used to be.

  • This crowd doesn't laugh enough. 0/5

  • @Krawtchuk Do you judge a show always on how much the crowd laughs? Did it ever occur to you that it might have been the acoustics? Or that the crowd actually thinks about his jokes before they laugh instead of immediately roaring with laughter at everything he says like a bunch of mindless sheep?

  • @XxSweetDelicious and @Krawtchuk The crowd doesn't laugh enough because unlike people who laugh at everything he says, the crowd's attentive and thinks about what he's saying, and when he's trying to talk, they let him talk. It's out of respect.

  • @TheLast2nd Er, yes, that's basically repeating what I said in the last part of my comment.

    However, I doubt that that's the case. I think it's just the acoustics.

  • aren't there any dutch comedians out there, that you have to fucking import american ones? your little, insignificant country really must suck... on top of that, his material is about american issues...

  • @DennisTaylor1988 your a american for sure the biggest fuckers in the world

  • @DennisTaylor1988

    Way to go numbhead! They are not American issues. They're world issues (unfortunately) mixed with typical dutch issues. You wouldnt know caus your brain doesnt let you!

    Isignificant fuck! And there are dutch comedians.........but again you wouldnt know....

    Enjoy life in what you would probably consider the best country in the fucking world.....

    I am just proud of my little insignificant sucking country....

    A dutch man

  • @DennisTaylor1988 I wouldn't be surprised if this came from a dumb American mouth... I mean, you don't seem to even understand the meaning of 'import'? It is fairly ignorant, and VERY American, to think that a country does not contain any comedians of its own.

    You don't even have an understanding of what comedy is. Ever heard of opinions? Ever heard of taste? No of course not, you only live in your own dreamworld, learning nothing of the real world. Because really, you are just a son of a bitch.

  • @DennisTaylor1988 - Other than most Americans, we like too see beyond our own borders. And yes, there are Dutch comedians, but you wouldn't come across them on Youtube, let alone understand what they are saying. That's our advantage...We're multilingual! So grab a burger or choke in a bucket of KFC, fucking redneck. 

  • @doemberg im from the north and i resent the redneck part. im a yankee by your foreign standards.

  • @doemberg let's analyse your stupid comment for a minute here.

    1. you do not "LIKE" but "HAVE" to see beyond your borders (USA, UK) for popular culture and entertainment media (movies, tv shows, music) because your "little, insignificant" dutch community can't create enough quality and quantity.

    2. you did not "CHOOSE" but "HAVE" to be multilingual, because the dutch world just fucking IS too "little and insignificant". why aren't the french as fluent in english as the dutch? think about it

  • @DennisTaylor1988 Because your issues are significant to the rest of the world? Your stupidity can drive the whole world's economy down, for example. Not to mention, americans are the dumbest western country by a mile. Your school system is an insult to education. So yes, we love to listen to smart comedians like Lewis Black, while he makes fun of your messed up country.

  • @75samuel75

    Wow, your whole argumentation is just self-contradictory.

    -You claim that america as a whole is "dumb" and "poorly educated", yet you do state that america is of "high significance" in global affairs and world economy.

    -So how does such a "dumb and uneducated" country like ours with only 4% of the world's population manage to have the biggest global economy, military and political influence?

    -Did your great education system not teach you to avoid "self-contradiction"?

  • @DennisTaylor1988 I don't agree that the whole of the USA is fumb. Of course it isn't, yet, the majority of PHD students in Science and Technology fields in the USA today are from overseas. An majority of professionals in those industries at high level positions are imported or on Genius visas. The USA as a whole ranks very poorly on several international indexes, including education. Simply put, that the USA has managed to be so powerful only obscures the inequality within it.

  • @UberNoodleX LOL that I typed 'fumb' instead of dumb. :D Keys are next to each other, after all.

  • Someone has to explain to me what's wrong with that subway

  • @kubek

    The whole country said it wouldnt work, would be way to expensive, would cause way too much chaos in the infra structural system, but politics......you guess again.....

    They disagreed and were inadmissably proven wrong.....

  • Lewis Black ftw

  • We party every day ;)

  • "He speaks in paragraphs!"

    More like: "platitudes."

  • Obviously the Netherlands fucked up building a subway but when/how did this occur? Anyone have a link to a story? 

  • Comment removed

  • @JJvanOmmeren thanks

  • @56jmoney Visit Amsterdam when you can for at least a week and you'll have a good time.

  • @56jmoney It's probably about the Noord/Zuidlijn (North/South line) "the underground part of the line caused historic buildings to subside and the city's budget deficit to explode. Initially the project was budgeted at €1.4 billion and it should have been finished by 2009. The total costs were re-estimated at around €3 billion and the line would not run until 2017"

  • @GLANL Oh, I see now. Thank you GLANL

  • Im American....... AND IM THE GREATEST FUCKER HERE!

  • @Kdubslugga You poor bastards would DIE with out me! Hahahahahahaaaaa! X3

  • @Avidity "poor bastards"? Is that what he said over there? Over here he said "snivelling shits". I enjoyed THAT much more !!

  • @Kdubslugga

    I guess by the end of the week, we have to kill you, then eat you, just to possess...your power : )

  • 3 people helped build the subway

  • This is on The audio CD i have and DVD named "Stark Raving Black". Perfect Comedy

  • Where can I download this?

  • He wasn't pandering. He was setting up the joke...

  • Excellent quality and funny as hell. Thanks for posting.

  • Lewis Black pandering? Are you joking?

  • I was here!

  • @reza2468 Me too!

  • Thanks for uploading his show man.

  • I think it's really telling how effective a comic - and by extension, a human being - Lewis Black is, that he has gained an audience that is willing and wanting to attend an evening of comedy that is not spoken in their native language. They judge his comedy with clarity and intelligence; one can tell this by the variety of timing and response from the audience, rather than conditioned response to base content. The greatest challenge for an entertainer is an unbiased crowd. Much respect.

  • @DrooBazooka wow that was a beautiful eloquent (spelling?) comment, wouldnt have thought it from your user name :D

  • Black on the Law of Diminishing Returns. Preach man, preach!

  • And a lot of people who didn't were upset lmfao

  • when was this performed?

  • @tmzrox Are you kidding me, the satire of people asking him what he would do now that Bush is gone, and then actually mentioning the corporate scum that Obama brought on board for his cabinet. It's priceless.

  • hah, 'Whack-a-Mole'...do the Dutch even know what that is? hell, does anyone under 50 know what that is?

  • @oneirishpoet

    I do, and i am 29 AND Dutch. ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • A ranting genius

  • thumbs up if you surf youtube just looking for lewis black

  • how bout the ladies tits in the white shirt god she was hot!

  • His whole "fun to have a drink with" thing is hilarious in hindsight.

    Beer summit, anyone?

  • When was this filmed?

  • I was at that show!!! 2nd Row to the right! behind the college douches yelling at him he was so amazing. Still got my ticket, thanks for uploading!

  • The tunnel has been in the pipeline, no pun intended ,for a good decade or so, costing circa 10X as much as expected. AND IT'S NOT EVEN DONE YET!

  • long time coming, thanks a million!

  • He seems awkward here, But I'll still watch the whole thing, and give it a shot, cause I love the dude.

  • The one thing I love about Lewis Black is that he states the obvious. It's funny, because it's true. I think it's good that we have him around for a reality check every now and then.

  • @Dakarn I totally agree. I think all good comedians do that.

  • Amazing - when he's pandering to the crowd, telling them how beautiful their city is and whatnot, they're silent & observant... anywhere in the US they'd be clapping their hands raw and screaming bloody murder like psychotics off their meds.

  • @StevenBee2 Yes, we Dutch can be terrible at receiving complements. Someone telling us we have a beautiful city is something we don't hear to often.

  • @StevenBee2 its cause we know its a goddamn beautiful city, but we fuck it up a bit, and that's where we dutch start laughing ;)

  • @StevenBee2 That's because the dutch are smart enough to see the punchline creeping up on them...

  • @StevenBee2 yeah, thats our country :)

  • @StevenBee2 Really? I don't observe that in any of the crowd responses from his US shows.

  • @suzbethful It's hypothetical. May not be in his, but any other vid you will definitely see it. How many times do you hear people say WHO LOVES FLORIDA or OHIO or NEW YORK? Then people go crazy.

  • @StevenBee2 Thats the dutch for you :) Sober as hell even though the world thinks different...

  • @Stormshade1492 yeah, but at least they have health care, good education, jobs that pay a living wage, real vacation time and other benefits, take care of their children and elderly properly, no poverty, no gun violence, no crazy religious whackos, etc...oh and they tax the rich appropriately enough so they pay their fair share

  • @StevenBee2 a lot of the crowd are americans ..they live there or are stationed there with the military.. it isn't hard to travel in Europe unlike in the US ..they have trains that take u everywhere at a reasonable price..u have to fly in the US to get anywhere unless u want to fight the roads and traffic

  • @StevenBee2 So what's your point?

  • @NavySealWannabe67 no point; just a cultural observation.

  • @StevenBee2 what's wrong with that? It's a comedy show, not a cathedral. When did it become uncool to be proud of where you're from?

  • @marineranegrita When did it become uncool to be cool about where you're from? There's an equal amount of respect to be found in a loud cheer and a silent smirk.

  • @StevenBee2 That's the Dutch way. When we find something funny we laugh. if we don't, we don't. Mr. Black knows his audience and our culture, which shows much respect with a little cynical touch (the way Dutch people like it best). I went to see Eddy Izzard a year ago. He didn't know what to do with the audience. Just because people were not howling with laughter doesn't mean they don't like the show. I have great respect for a comic who knows his audience, and none for one who doesn't.

  • @GoldenXBoots Well, that just goes with Lewis Black, doesn't it? That's just his brand of funny, so it goes. Eddie Izzard is more just improv and observational, and is a bit "bigger" in his comedy, as it were, so it just doesn't go as well with the Dutch humor. Doesn't mean he's a bad comic, he just works much better with English/American crowds because of his style.

  • @sopralto817 I hear you. I didn't say he was a bad comic. I just think he did not know what to do with the Dutch audience. He came across as incredibly uncomfortable on stage. In fact I felt a little sorry for him. Know what you can expect of your audience before you hit the stage...

  • @StevenBee2: We Dutch aren't so loud and obnoxious as the Americans. That's the reason we're not screaming.

  • @Leviwosc lol that's his point......

  • @StevenBee2 A good observation, although I doubt it was pure pandering, Amsterdam IS bloody lovey, after all ;)

  • @StevenBee2

    1. Yes, because Lewis Black panders. Have you even been to Amsterdam?

    2. NO ONE is louder than Americans. Doesn't mean that they're not proud.

  • @StevenBee2 That's the culture of America, people have become so used to being loud as a crowd, even if they don't want to be, they will anyways. Go to a soccer game Italy, Spain, or any soccer heavy country, everyone is going ape shit, and I bet most of them are generally very quiet well behaved people, but in those stadiums they go nuts, it's just the culture and the nature that a country has adopted.

  • @StevenBee2 most astute post I've ever read. Seriously well observed.

  • if these are all dutch speaking hollanders, how are they understanding and laughing at his jokes?

  • @wazmlp1 Loads of people in Holland, and most other western european countries speak english. Holland especially as from what i could tell in my time there %75 of their tv is in english with dutch subtitles.

  • @wazmlp1

    Obviously we arent centralized fuckwits that only care about our Fucking selves. We need to speak ENGLISH or else we cant communicate with the rest of the world, theres only like 16 fucking million of us.

  • @wazmlp1

    Because they speak English?

    Learning more than one language sounds like a magical skill in the U.S. but, to quote a bit of the world, it's simply natural.

    We're #1! USA! USA!

    Bullshit. We are just as enslaved, less educated and just ass oppressed as any other people under a government. Yet, we do have a magical skill. Somehow, a great percentage of our population has convinced themselves they're "free" even though men with guns rob them on a regular basis and it's LEGAL.

  • @Zen5012 I agree with everything you said. Brainwashed zombies running around this place

  • @sov6rulz Ohh the irony.

  • @Cyanide7830 What because I agree with someone I am a brainwashed zombie?

  • @wazmlp1 I'm dutch and my English is just fine. I started speaking it actively when I was only 8, because all of our children's shows were in English. And then the Internet gave my English a nice shiny finish. Besides most people from the Netherlands are good at foreign languages. I speak German and English. My mother speaks English, Italian, German and French. My whole family and all my friends speak English. The Netherlands is a small trading country so it's required when you want most jobs :D

  • @Superfluffyfish Dude, fuck your life story, your spelling is off from the second word.

  • @wazmlp1 because most of us can speak english too...im ditch too and i was there...

  • This is Stark Raving Black but he changed it a little to suit Amsterdam audience.

  • Awesome show! Is this available on DVD?

  • I WAS THERE THAT EVENING!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D it was a very special show cause people from all over the world were there:D LEWIS IS A SAINT:D:D:D:D

  • :o woowhoo!!!

  • Is this Raving Stark Black?
