A classic! Thanks for posting this.

@IllumRising Welcome.

@zxcv1234vcxz His voice and mannerisms draw you in almost like in a hypnotic trance. A lot of the great stand-up comics often have such a signature and unique voice. Hard to tell if that is how it always is, or they affect one for their routine. Recognizable anywhere. The only reason I knew Pete Holmes does the baby's voice for eTrade was from this fact.

This is one of those sketches that everyone knows every word before they hear it, that there are no surprises in what he says.

It is all in the delivery, the timing of the telling, that makes it an all time classic.

My all time favorite stand up bit. Still haven't seen anything better than this. Larry Miller is still by favorite stand up comendian. Shame he only did two HBO specials.

My all time favorite stand up bit. I've been looking for it for a long time but I'd forgotten who did it (and the correct title it turns out). I watched another Larry Miller bit tonight and voila.

There is another post called "Larry Miller Drinking" that has a better sound level. However, this one has more of the beginning.

Great long-form bit. Possibly inspired by Cosby?
