I have to play this wonderful piece by the late, great
Utah Phillips at least once a year.
An interesting story, a whimsical tale rolled in a bad pun,
smothered in a thick, flaky crust.
How’s that for a culinary metaphor?
I probably shouldn’t post when I’m hungry.
He says a naughty word, you should be fine but if you
aren’t I will try oh so very hard to keep that injury
from entering my Apathy folder…

This is a superb piece by Daniel Tosh.
It really spotlights his mastery of irreverency as a
comedic tool.
His faux smug persona is a pleasure to experience.
Nobody does it quite like him.
Top Ten All-Time in my humble opinion.
Being very intelligent and well informed are a huge
plus in his arsenal as well.
This was recorded early in his career so there are a
couple of things that are slightly dated but all are
quite enjoyable.
A couple of words that when uttered insure your passage
to Hell or, a few adult words that every living person has
heard at least several times before and shouldn’t be a
problem if you don’t listen to this in a monastery…

A classic 1959 novelty tune from The Coasters.
Tells a nice good guy/bad guy story with a
comedic slant.
Reached #9 on the charts when it came out.
There was a time when a good comedy ditty
would hit the top twenty.
I lament that they no longer do that.
Here’s one that did…

Stevens and Grdnic with a great parody of the
old classic television science program that aired
for quite a while.
I don’t how many times I’ve uttered “We will if
we’re not careful, Timmy” over the years.
Some great lines here…

Maz Jobrani with a great set on stereotypes, terrorists,
and the moms who love them.
Maz is one of the original Axis of Evil Comedy Tour
stand-up comedians that started touring in 2005.
They are either from the Middle East or are offspring
from parents that came from that area.
Goodwill ambassadors from the humor side of the equation.
Some good lines here…
