Per fakesteve's request, I'll make a thread on quotes I transcribed (from his 2 CDs, and the Comedy Central special) from one of the greatest comedians to ever live. Read a few, have a good laugh, etc.





I like an escalator man, because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an "ecalator out of order" sign, only an "escalator temporarily stairs... sorry for the convenience."

I rent a lot of cars because I go on the road, and when I drive a rental car I don't know what's going on with it right... so a lot of times I drive for like 10 miles with the emergency brake on. That doesn't say a lot for me, but it really doesn't say a lot for the *emergency* *brake*.

You can't please all the people all the time, and last night, all those people were at my show.

I don't have a girlfriend, I just know a girl who would get really mad if she heard me say that.

I got into an argument with a girlfriend inside of a tent. That's a bad place for an argument, 'cause then I tried to walk out and slam the flap. How are you supposed to express your anger in this situation... zipper it up really quick? *zip* *zip* "Fuck you."

Alcoholism is a disease, but it's like the only disease you can get yelled at for having. "Damnit Otto, you're an alcoholic." "Damnit Otto, you have Lupis." One of those two doesn't sound right.

I play golf, I'm not good at golf, I never got good, I never got a hole-in-one... but I did hit a guy. And that's waaaaay more satisfying. You're supposed to yell "Fore", but I was too busy mumbling, "There ain't no way that's gonna hit him."

It takes forever to cook a baked potato in a conventional oven, sometimes I just throw one in there, even if I don't want one. And by the time it's done... who knows.

My friend did this to me, he came up to me and he said "Hey you know what I like? Mashed potatoes." It's like "Dude, you gotta give me time to guess. If you're gonna quiz me, you must insert a pause in there."

I was at a casino, I was standing by the door, and a security guard came up and said "You're gonna have to move, you're blocking the fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.

I hate turkeys. If you go to the grocery store and stand in the lunchmeat section for too long you start to get pissed off at turkeys. You see like Turkey-Ham, Turkey-Pastromi, Turkey-Balogna... somebody needs to tell the turkeys "Man... just be yourself."

Whenever I walk, people try to hand me out flyers, and when someone tries to hand me out a flyer, it's kind've like they're saying "Here... you throw this away."

I was at a bar, I was minding my own business, no one was talking to me cause I had just did a show. This guy bumped into me which is cool, but he didn't apologize, he said "Move", and I thought that was rude so I said "Go to hell", and then I started to run. He caught up with me. He had a mustache, a goatee, a pair of earings, a pair of sunglasses, his hair was in a ponytail, and he was wearing a hat. Hey said "Hey, you got a lot of nerve." I said "Hey, you got a lot of... cranium accessories." *crowd laughs* This is a smart crowd here, when I play the dumb crowd, I gotta say "You got a lot of shit on your head."

Acid was my favorite drug, acid expanded my mind. Because of acid, I now know that butter is way better than margerine. I saw through the bullshit.

When I was on acid, I would see things, like Beams of Lights. And I would hear sounds that sounded an awful lot like Car Horns.

I think Pringle's initial intention was to make tennis balls. But on the day the rubber was supposed to show up, a big truckload of potatoes arrived. And Pringles is a laid back company, they said "Fuck it, cut 'em up!"

I wrote a script, and I gave it to a guy who reads scripts, and he read it, and he said he really likes it, but he thinks I need to rewrite it. I said fuck that, I'll just make a copy.

My hotel doesn't have a 13th floor because of superstition, but come on man, people on the 14th floor, you know what floor you're really on. "What room are you in?" "1401" "No you're not! Jump out the window, you will die earlier!" Because 13 is an unlucky number, right? Well that's what the letter B should be right, because B looks like a scrunched together 13. "Hello, what is your name?" "Bob" "Get the fuck away!"

They say the recipe for sprite is lemon and lime, I tried to make it at home, but there's more to it than that.

I order a club sandwhich all the time, but I'm not even a member man, I don't know how I get away with it.

I saw this whino, he was eating grapes... it's like, Dude, you have to wait.

I was gonna have my teeth whitened, but then I said fuck that, I'll just get a tan instead.

Fish are always eating other fish, if fish could scream, the ocean would be loud as shit. You would not want to submerge your head, nothing but fish going "Ahh fuck! I thought I looked like that rock!"

I went to a Doctor, all he did was suck blood from my neck, don't ever go see Dr. Acula.

I don't want to have my face on the cover of a Wheaties box, I want my face on the cover of a Rice Krispies box. Snap, Krackel, Mitch, and Pop. "Hey, how the fuck did he do that?" Hey, in Hollywood it's all about who you know, and I know Krackel.

I saw on HBO they were advertising a boxing match, they said "It's a fight to the finish"... that's a good place to end.

I had a paper route when I was a kid, I was a paper boy, I was supposed to go to 2,000 houses... or 2 dumpsters.

I remixed a remix, it was back to normal.

I like to hold the microphone cord like this, I pinch it together, then I let it go, then you hear a whole bunch of jokes at once.

I tried to walk into Target, but I missed.

I'd like to see a forklift lift a crate of forks... it would be so damn literal!

You know, I'm sick of following my dreams man... I'm just gonna ask where they're going, and hook up with 'em later.

Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure he did not start to load shit into a truck.

I got my hair highlighted because I thought some strands were more important than others.

You should never tell someone they have a nice dimple, because maybe they were shot in the face with a BB gun.

On a traffic light, green means go and yellow means yield, but on a banana, it's just the opposite... green means hold on. Yellow means go ahead. And red means, "Where the fuck did you get that banana at?"

I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

I know a lot about cars... I could look at a car's headlights and tell you exactly which way it's coming.

I say the word "totally" too much, I need to change it, I need to use a word that is different but means the same... "Mitch, do you like submarine sandwhiches?" "All encompassingly."

This shirt is dry-clean only, which means it's dirty.

I've seen a human pyramid before... it was very unnecessary.

My lucky number is 4 billion, that doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on 4 billion... fuck, 7. Not even close. I need some more dice."

I was in a park, I saw a kid flying a kite, he was so excited his kite was in the sky, I dunno why, that's what they're supposed to do. Now had he had a chair on the other end of that string, I woulda known... imagine trying to fly a chair, you'd have to run like a motherfucker.

If you had a friend who was a tightrope walker and you were walking down the sidewalk with him, and he fell, that would be completely unacceptable.

A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.

I used to do drugs... I still do, but I used to, too.

My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana and I said no...but I'll want a regular banana later, so yeah.

Is a hippopotamus really an animal, or is it just a really really cool opotamus?

Whino (wine) is eating grapes. Grapes turn into wine. They aren't wine yet, so he has to wait

Probably, but the official cause was a heart condition that was supposedly not drug related. 'Course the drugs probably didn't help.

And yeah, I didn't realize, but it has been almost a year since he died.

ManaBlue: Yeah, I forgot those two, sorry. T_T
