Not everyone gets Sam Kinison, and he's not always this funny, but I think this routine is great. Video quality isn't very good, but sound is fine.

A hilarious entertainer that died waaaaaaay before his time. I can honestly say I've probably laughed my hardest at some of Kinison's material.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Sam was the man.

I had several of his cassettes.

I was on my way to Myrtle Beach, the morning I learned he had been killed by a drunk driver.

While not everyone's cup of tea, I miss Sam, he was a funny, funny man.

Kinison's 'starving kids' bit, Murphy's 'Aunt Bunny' routine, and Cosby's 'Noah' set were what I grew up on.

Good times. Big Grin

Oh man, I hadn’t thought about Sam in years. My buddies use to constantly play one of his acts that was on cassette tape. Brutal. Big Grin

I laugh like heck for the Sparky and the dog psychiatrist routine.

I doubt I'll ever stop laughing at Eddie Murphy impersonating Richard Prior, Bill Cosby, and Elvis, and particularly the phone call between Cosby and Murphy.

"If I get married again, I want a guy there with a drum to do rimshots during the vows."

I've been a Sam Kinison fan since I first heard him in the 80s, still have several of his albums on vinyl. The routine he did with Rodney Dangerfield in "Back To School" is a classic:

Professor Terguson: You remember that thing we had about 30 years ago called the Korean conflict? And how we failed to achieve victory? How come we didn't cross the 38th parallel and push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China?

Professor Terguson: [rips a desk apart] Then take the fucking wall apart

[shouts]

Professor Terguson: brick by brick and nuke them back into the fucking stone age forever? Tell me why! How come? Say it! Say it!

Thornton Melon: [incensed] All right. I'll say it. 'Cause Truman was too much of a *pussy wimp* to let MacArthur go in there

[shouts]

Thornton Melon: and blow out those Commie bastards!

Professor Terguson: Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think. I'm gonna be watching you.

Thornton Melon: [chuckling to his classmates] Good teacher. He really seems to care. About what I have no idea.
