Kids sniffing airplane glue [Lenny Bruce]

[ufo9or8die]

Universal Hero!! As Important as Bill Hicks and others. Or is it the other way around?

[jringler6628]

Mister Bruce... What really is left to say? In his autobiography he basically splits people into two of one personalities: those who pissed in the sink and those who pissed in the sink and denied it.

[animekornfan]

lenny bruce says airplne glue bill hicks says judas priest

both awesome and i can see how bill hicks was influced greatly by this great man

[Jeansieguy]

At 0:02 he says areoplane glue, not airplane glue... Q. when did Americans stop saying Aeroplane, and start saying airplane?

or,

Is this just perculiar to his accent?

or have you always pronounced it as areoplane, but spell it airplane?

Just curious... :)

[JuxtaposeMystery]

@Jeansieguy USA doesn't have one unified culture -- it especially didn't in the mid-20th century.

[timothy790110]

Is this where Seth Macfarlane got the voice for stewie?

[cyphrinfinity]

HAHAHAHA Love it!!! Give me some assorted candy and 2000 tubes of airplane glue *snorting laughs* rofl heh:D.

[Sigolet]

Not original, not "edgy," not insightful, and most of all not funny.

This is the "legendary" Lenny Bruce?



[CoolerKing37]

@Sigolet You may not find it funny, but how is it not original? Name me one comedian from the 50's who had this same bit.

[DisidenciaTricolor]

@Sigolet umm....he was big in the 50's and early 60's..?

[hankstervil]

@Sigolet for shame

[Kevo216666]

10/10 for the English accent too. American's rarely get it right. Robbin Effing Williams are you listening?

[McDutchMaster]

Felica! Felica! FEEELLLLICA! Come here you freaky doggie!

[kelrebec]

oh my children - you have no idea how much we owe to Lenny

[KrassSucks]

We would be no where without this man. <3 love ye Lenny

[iwannabeyourdog1969]

i have never got high on glue. Is it any good?

[syuhas2]

Lenny Bruce to me sounds like if Rod Serling and George Carlin got together, fucked, had a baby then that baby grew up and developed a 15 year smoking habit.

[1CRA2YM0F0]

Horse hoofs, balsa wood......that's wood glue.  LMAO!!!

[Frequent2001]

heyyy now

[lowgrau]

nice store you got here Mr Shimmler...

[RoyFive]

...and 2.000 tubes of airplane glue!

[SourCum]

sniffing glue 4 spiritual purposes

[faffaflunkie]

Nobody did this kind of comedy back then. I'd say a one dimensional pee hole like George Carlin (who was very funny in a hacky way nonetheless) served to ruin Bruce's memory.

[jakster2]

@faffaflunkie The influence that Bruce had on Carlin was colossal but the real difference between the two comedians is that Carlin was actually funny. There was a sharp intellect that Carlin possessed that no other comedian including Richard Pryor or Bill Cosby could match. You are one of the few people who would call him that but whatever.

[faffaflunkie]

@jakster2 I stated Carlin was funny. He (Carlin) was a most talented hack. It was when Carlin tried to be philosophical he became a bit whiny and one dimensional. Carlin actually had a far better career than Lenny Bruce ever did. Carlin had an amazing career that anyone in show business would envy.

[nubient]

@faffaflunkie hey they were both great

[BrianMChampion]

I hope you can sleep tonight, Mr. LePage.

[ocnoreen]

Great!!! He was really funny when he was doing his bits. But so much truth and I even liked him when he was not funny. He told the truth.

[betterthanyification]

4 people were laughing so hard, they missed the "like" button. :D

[cartmangreko]

you can see how craig ferguson has been influenced by him as well

[switchtokryptonite]

I've done it! I'm the Louis Pasteur of junkiedom! haha

[SargeFromWackbag]

Lenny was the one who suffered because of the "bad" language.  George Carlin was the one who succeeded.

[Redgrant80]

That was probably the funniest thing i heard in a long time

[Debzwb]

Yup, I can see where George Carlin got his influence!!!!

[FeelOfFriction]

@Debzwb Even his speech pattern is similar.

[Debzwb]

So true!!! Too bad George got more credit than Lenny, but if it wasn't for Lenny, George wouldn't have had the career he did!!!!

[JimHolland8]

" Out of my Skull for 10cents" Damn inflation is a bitch.

[IraqiVet38]

smell it! You freaky little Doggy You! an gimme 2000 tubes of aero plane glue!

[bryanaccount]

lol - lighten up - what's your iq?

[Rawk4Life]

You need a life, so stop posting senseless comments.

[bryanaccount]

i have a life or else i would be dead, ever think about that, Rark4Life? ;p

[Rawk4Life]

Do you not understand metaphors? Gimme a break!

[bryanaccount]

maybe i like you because you took the bait, *smiles*

[bryanaccount]

Have a good night, Rawk4Life

[Rawk4Life]

No probs, same to you.

[D0g63rt]

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID

[JazzyJonas]

It's a shame there wasn't more video back then. His facial expressions were genius!

[LunaCat59]

LMAO...Lenny was the man!

[Jazon999]

lenny bruce was one of the last people to be arrested for speaking crudely in public. at one show he gets arrested and the cops find this guy there at the show and they're like "lets see some ID." and the guy says "i dont believe in ID." so they throw him in the back of the car with lenny bruce. you know who that guy was? it was george carlin. does that not blow your mind?

[livewire66]

nice rip off of penn and teller

[dapunkof1975]

Hahah, you can hear the Lenny Bruce influence in George Carlin.

[angrymallard]

Creepily so at times. There's few moments when I couldn't distinguish the two if Lenny's voice wasn't a little higher (though I suspect George was actually higher).

[MyersKills]

@dapunkof1975

particularly in this bit. yes, i thought that too. even the tone of voice is similar.

[nachoisone]

@dapunkof1975 Richard Pryor, Don Rickles, Andy Kaufman and every comedian henceforth after him.

[austenbosten]

@dapunkof1975 especially the "Louis Pasteur of junkydome" Is defiantly George Carlin.

[videocre]

Good stand-up.

5-Stars.

[firebird63]

[Osiris1st]

2,000 tubes of airplane glue? You can dig where that's at man, the cat's having a shindig ;)

[chrissstopherG]

Andy Griffith: "2,000 tubes of airplane glue? What on earth is Aunt Bea cooking up now?"
