I just saw him last night for the first time. SO funny and such a really great guy. Spent a lot of time talking with the audience and interacting with all of us. LOVE him.
@Lawlesslady1968 Yeah, I think you were on the right and I was on the left. I was the phone company guy. I also offered him a chair when he said the stool they gave him had nail polish all over it. Afterward I told him he didn't need to be afraid to do political humor, we weren't all on the far right down here, and he asked me about Occupy Atlanta. He strikes me as a super nice guy, no egomania at all.
@arthowardatnight I remember you. I saw you when you were trying to give the stool to him. He seems really genuine and nice. My friend has a big crush on him, so she & I did our "Emo groupies" bit and we kept cracking him up. Can't wait to see him again.
edinburgh is a very dirty smelly city.dogs;'poos are everywhere.thousands dogs poo in the city day in day out.i m not kidding.this is true.whole city is like a big open toilet or like burst sewage.i dont understand why tourists come to edinburgh.junkies insult and disburb strangers all the time.the food is very unquality,very unhealty.neighbours are very ignorant and noisy.they make too much noise to disburb chinese or polish or russian or indian...racism is very bad in here.very disturbing...
@icatchrye relax bro. i said that 3 weeks ago. so i obviously caught my mistake. so how bout you just go back to your porn sites and world of warcraft or whatever nerds are into nowadays
This is Emo -even with the glasses. This is Emo, post-(bad) marriage with Judy Tenuta (the thought alone will have you rollin'). No disorder, folks; just perfect, classic comedic timing.
@TheAaron404 If you know someone who does drugs that is as quick witted and unique as Emo, please ask them how much it cost! I'll take it on auto-ship!,
I understand why some people wouldn't enjoy his style but I think he's incredibly funny. Not many comedians make me actually physically laugh beyond a smile, but Emo gets me every time.
Emo is hilarious, and I think these days people don't really appreciate this kind of comedy. Back in the 80s, Emo helped popularize a kind of "awkward" comedy that a lot of other comedians used back then, like Joel Hodgson. Many of those comedians went on to do other stuff(or nothing), but Emo's still performing and still has one of the most original acts I've ever seen. Seeing him live is even better; I've seen him live a few times, and everyone was in tears he was so hilarious!
@PirateOfTheInternet "I like to go to the playground and watch the children running around, shouting and screaming and running... of course, they don't know I'm using blanks." Saw him in London in 87, and never forgot that joke.
Theres not too many people who have been doing comedy as long as he has, at least since 1984, and still doing it today, he must be funny enough for that.
Oh I agree.None of his work is particularly funny,humerous yes but not full-on belly-laugh funny.And yes,he IS extremely annoying.I actually doubt even Emos would appreciate this!
@nostalgicdrummer his style of delivery is either hit or miss. If you find his awkward bumbling delivery funny, you'll think he's hysterical. If you don't, it's just annoying. Personally, I love it.
Emo was and still is a bloody genius. His haircut at Just For Laughs freaked me out. I don't recall him doing a lot of Jew jokes in the past though, maybe I need to rewatch some of his stuff.
Does anyone else find that he's not as convincing as he was in the 80s?
He's still incredibly funny but he's mellowed somewhat with his years and yet still tries to keep the mad persona up at the same level. It doesn't quite work....
I stood in line to meet him and say hello after seeing his show this last Nov, and the closer I got the higher his IQ went up. At least 250. I felt like mine was that of a carrot. He is so much fun on Facebook. Yes, he answers back. He does love a good verbal duel. A Kind gentalman, and a VERY smart & funny guy.
@HartsChannel He sounds the same from when I saw him on TV and radio in the mid-80s! I always remember him saying "my proctologist likes Philip Glass." I've never been able to hear about Philip Glass without remembering that line.
@SpiritOfTheWolf1995 techinaclly you were an atom(well many) because nothing in this universe can be created frrom nothing or reduced to nothing sorry about the science gun hitting you with all those truth bullets and emo is quite magnificent
"your another year older!" "lets hear you blame that on the jews" me and my friend nearly died laughing. just a thought anyone else think that he was the first emo?
He looks much younger in the flesh and without glasses. I saw him perform and met him three months ago, and if he'd dyed his hair black he would have looked pretty much the same as he did in the 80s.
