For me, the worst part was hearing the birds chirping after an all nighter. Especially when the sun hadn't quite come up and it was still relatively dark outside. Those first chirps were the "uh-oh" moment.
I’m in my 29th year as a stand up. This is sheer comedic genius, and the most difficult format. You could do this routine in a church and it is still hysterical.
After being on the deck of a cruise ship in 100 degree heat with a hangover, keeping that pledge became a lot easier. It's been nearly 20 years since I've been seriously drunk. I didn't give up drinking entirely, just getting wasted. The mild buzz does me just fine.
This is classic. This really brings back some awful drinking days. His delivery and timing is so great that is really makes me not want to drink at all.
A scary thought, not wanting to drink at all, but I understand. Back in the sixties I watched "Days of Wine and Roses" and poured my 4 bottles of booze down the sink and didn't drink for about 3 months.
@@Townes.VanZandt If you're referring to Days of Wine and Roses, I saw the movie version with Jack Lemon & Lee Remick. It was also presented on Playhouse 90 on TV (I think). I just now looked it up on the internet and watched about 20 minutes. It was a little unnerving for me to see and be reminded how people can be developing an unhealthy habit and be unaware.
I’ve had the “thick blue drink” at a sci-fi/role playing game convention. Served at a room party and called Toxic Waste. It was made with Everclear. Don’t know if they used Kool-aide or Gatorade to get the blue but one of the hosts did tell me it had a splash of spearmint Scope. Served in a 5 gallon biohazard bucket with dry ice in the bottom. An alcohol slushee! I was told I held a conversation with a Buddha statue. Ah the good old days.
When I was in the military there was a bar near our barracks. They had a blue drink and no one could ever remember what it was called so we just started calling it "Smurf Piss". It was blue curacao, crushed ice and some other wicked brews. My roommate and I passed out in the barracks stairwell ON THE STAIRS after a night of Smurf Piss.
Yeah, I know what you're talking about, it's essentially the blue version of the old college party standby, "Jungle Juice" (which is red), although the dry ice is a brilliant touch! I don't think that's what Larry was referring to, since they were still in a bar, in theory, but some bizarre, terrible, cheap, and strong pre-flavored liquor...like that 99 bananas/apples/etc type stuff...unless he was suggesting the bar was so crappy that they were just mixing random stuff together like a bunch of bros, lol

One of my favorite comedy routines ever, right up there with Who's on First and the Victor Borge bit about pronunciation. Thanks for sharing. And I don't give a rat's about the tracking. I'm just glad the audio is clean.
In 1969 I was stationed in NKP Thailand and we had a 6AM to 6PM schedule. The worst was 6PM to 6 AM when you had the one day a week off. We got of shift at 6AM and go straight to the NCO Club and drink until about Noon. Then we'd call it quits and leave. The instant we got outside, we'd be greeted with Ol' Big Red and we'd tur around and retreat to the comfortable darkness of the Club , where we would stay another six ours until night fall when we would be safe from Big Ol' Red.
@@Tsamokie good one --- I had a 7pm to 7am shift in new mexico mid 1980's. there was a bar nearby with no windows (just for us). So when I walked outside about noon ... I learned that you needed a small frame pair of sunglasses that would fit under the giant wrap -a- round sunglasses in order to see and drive home.
TDale Martin I got a job at a blues bar, back in the first couple of years of the now more than half of my life living in the US. It was the perfect deal! Free drinks and cultural lessons! It was fantastic! I did it for 3 years and I miss it to this day. Anyway, it was in Atlanta and there were maybe two 24 hour spots in the city back then... early 2000’s, and the one we always went to was called Backstreet. A gay club that all the strippers, servers, bartenders and general degenerates met after 3:00 am when everything closed... it was fucking sweet! Good times! But that feeling when you walked outside and it was bright as fuck... what a buzz kill! Too old for this shit now, but I still see love pulling an all-nighter
This is totally like AA for the comedy goers. I too had some laughs and also looked into myself with sadness because you do go through those levels. You rob from your sleep and money to get a moment of feeling like you are the king of the world with your buddies. For me I would actually go out often alone and see strangers as friends and look at the time and think I can do this. I can go out and still get up for work. So many days of working with head aches and rot gut. I actually see this skit as a confirmation to keep sober.
I'm not sure what stage this was, but me and my friend were in a bar once, and we were so drunk the barman said he wasn't serving us anymore. So we walked out of the pub and immediately forgot that had happened, and said "Ooh, this bar looks nice, let's go in here!" So walked into the same bar where the bartender said ".... I just told you like, 20 seconds ago I'm not serving you" and we were like "OOPS! Maybe we are drunk" Fabulous :D
I was with my local coworkers in Tokyo on Friday night after we finished a training course at the factory. The second hostess bar we went to had only had a Chinese woman who didn't speak English, so they sent a Thai guy who did to me and I don't think they told him it was because of the English. When we emerged at quarter to six and the sun was up, we carried the senior engineer to a cab. We couldn't talk to the driver, but he knew where to take him.
I remember watching this as Comedy special on HBO right before Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson in Tokyo. Freshman year in college. February 1990.
Oh yeah that’s back when we could ...and DID stay up and drink all night with our friends getting all sorts of nasty tore up from the floor up. Wheeeww... makes me think of how many brain cells I must have killed in my undergrad years... 😳
Damn, he nailed it. Recalling a party when I was in the Navy stationed in the UK, around 4am someone had the idea to stay up the rest of the night to catch the 7am train to London and continue drinking along the way... but then the came the sun rise... ouch.
my love songs yeah this guy has been in the background of TV shows and movies without any recognition unfortunately. Just watch the episode of Seinfeld where he was the door man lmao to this day, brilliant .
This is the first time I’ve seen this clip since I was a kid. Can’t believe I actually saw this when it originally aired but always remembered it. While it was funny to me back then, i didn’t understand it the way I do now and the man is spot on. Haha
I remember watching this on VH1 when it first came out and it's still funny today. I always liked Larry Miller and felt he was (is) very underappreciated. Too many comics rely on broad, dirty humor for cheap laughs; Larry was a little more adult and cerebral, which is exactly why I love his comedy.
I'm sure he played the dad in 10 Things I Hate About You, his sarcasm was brutal "You can date when your sister dates and no one will date her. Oh, I like that! I should have thought of that sooner!"
Up all night many times back in the day. When you are buying beer at like 7a.m. at the convenience store on Sunday morning and the clerk looks at you and just KNOWS...
See this kids? This is what actual video tape graininess looks like as opposed to a filter in video editing software. Larry Miller aka the Dad from '10 Things I Hate About You' is funny as hell.
I watched this when it was originally shown , I video taped it and wrote the bit out and learned it . I would do the bit from time to time and once in awhile people would ask me to do it . I remember that version he referred to the blue drink as the “stuff you soak combs in at the barber shop . “ 20 years since I last even thought about it . Thanks for the laughs Larry .
... and the Army. Gotta get to the mess before the bosses. Need that huge plate of free fry up, then sleep all day off, and get away with a day off shaving too. Start looking human again by the next day. And life goes on ... ;-)
My biggest all night drunk ended with me hanging out downtown with a few guys not realizing they were homeless till I noticed their hands out for money.
I saw Larry open for Stephen Wright on Halloween eve of 1992 in Pullman, WA. Did this bit. He had the crowd rolling almost more than Steve did. One of the best comedy acts I've ever seen.
Cannot tell you how many times I heard that 'prayer' while I was in the Navy. "Oh, I feel likeBLLLLAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH. Oh, God, I'll never drink agaBLLLLLLAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHH. PleasepleasepleasemakeitstoBLLLBLLBBBAAAAARRRRRGHHHH."
Same here for the last five years (or maybe 28 years).. until this year.. totally sober and loving it (although I miss wobbly nights I certainly don't miss the hangovers)
Same here, I've drank maybe ten times in the last 2 years but before that I was a Goddamned Heathen. When you can tell the story about that one time you were drunk for a solid week. I miss having a friend called 🍺 that always helped with bad days.
I used to teach a Breath Alcohol course for the Commonwealth of Virginia in the mid to late '90s, and we used this as a mood lightener. It never failed to get the class laughing their butts off!
He is good in everything he does... Anyone remember him in Pretty Woman as the proprietor of a Clothing Boutique in Beverly Hills that kisses Richard Gere and Julia's asses while they were there
you can see it that way, or enjoy the beginning of day.. the birds chirping, the sun rising, knowing you are there to experience all in its totality, being one with nature and grateful for life and this magnificent gift of creation... (that is, before passing out and sleeping it off the rest of the day as your wife writes a list of all things she will be discussing with you; more like telling you off because you know you are in the wrong and that is her time to recollect all 13 years of imperfections and bad behavior you have made while being together which she has kept all records ordered by date..)... but it's worth it!! lol
Christ I was RAN and SF over my 8yrs AD....and you don’t think 25y/o senior NCOs did this in the 1SFG barracks? Oh fuck yes we did! Never before a Group run though...the col made it clear what would happen if he caught one whiff. But in RAN BAT it was fine..ppl puked, just fell right back in. No drunk on duty there...unless we were on red cycle 😳 Didn’t wanna get caught drinking when looking at wheels-up ready in 24 hours on a red cycle... us joes called it ‘banishment’
Jon Mendez haven't seen that one very many times.Thats where he leaves and Jerry takes over as doorman if I remember.Wish they would have had him on more often.
classic bit. reminds me of a time i got fired for still being drunk. i had been written up and warned to not miss another day... so i did the next best thing, came in to work shit faced. some guys tried to cover for me but someone told on me... and that was that. not my proudest moment but there you go.
Aged 18 I came back from the pub at lunchtime whilst working at a meat factory/butchers, with the best excuse I could muster- that the police has been to the pub and refused to let anyone leave😂 As I was professing that I wasn’t actually drunk I fell over and pulled myself back up by gripping on to my managers trousers whilst laughing. (It was a shit job so I can laugh now)
23chrisfm What a coincidence! I was massaging your empty comment with my asshole when I stumbled over a beer bottle! Which is why I accidentally shit all over your comment. Sorry about that.
@@sfm.viciousmane1374 Just in case you are serious about that- get some help. I was a full blown drug dumpster at 19. The best thing I ever did was find respect for myself and quit. That was thirty years ago.
Larry is the man. He was on an episode of AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE: NUMBER ONE IN THE HOOD G, Alongside the man, the myth, the legend Mr. Carl BRUTANANADILEWSKI. Shoot had I been on an episode of ATHF I would feel like the luckiest guy alive, Way better than winning an Oscar, a Grammy .etc,

“Birdie-Birdie”
Yeah, I hate it too. You're trying to drink in peace, and the birds are all out there trying to wake the neighbors and narc you out.
Whoops! I thought that WAS what we we’re talking about!
Crazy how 'looking like Keith Richards' is still an accurate joke 30 years later
OOF!
Even more now

Has it been that long oh my
Maybe it`s because Keef hasn`t brushed his hair since 1967?

Great show
Larry Miller is a national treasure.
Actually had the "we could buy this bar" fantasy with drinkin' buddies in the distant past. Still makes me laugh.
One of the greatest truths of all time. Love Larry Miller.
" . . as long as I get 31 hours of sleep tomorrow." too real.
I never knew this guy did stand up, I've missed out. Been level 5 LOL
Larry's style of delivering a joke is unmatched....even to this day He's the best.
When Larry yelled "We're drivin' to Florida" He sounded like George Carlin.
the 90's were a great time for comedians
Stage 6: We should get some coke...
....you forgot it was a trailer park.
"We should get some meth..."

Waiting for him to go there but he didn’t lol

Pretty sure that’s Stage 1.5
God this makes me feel old but during this I kept wanting to grab the remote and find the tracking button

The remote that had a cable or the remote that only worked if you were 4 feet away?

@@chrischar1969 : : isn't this HBO?
@@johnnyboycassidy749 Sunday Comics, Fox
what about pop up video? that shit was awesome
Yep! MTV, VH1, regular TV was wholesome, not the shit they propagate these days mos def
So true, I lived this comedy routine..years ago
Same here for the last five years (or maybe 28 years).. until this year.. totally sober and loving it (although I miss wobbly nights I certainly don't miss the hangovers)
@@championsoundrecords wobbly nights and gatherings with friends..I miss that
Same here, I've drank maybe ten times in the last 2 years but before that I was a Goddamned Heathen. When you can tell the story about that one time you were drunk for a solid week. I miss having a friend called 🍺 that always helped with bad days.
My much younger days.
Then we grew up
I used to teach a Breath Alcohol course for the Commonwealth of Virginia in the mid to late '90s, and we used this as a mood lightener. It never failed to get the class laughing their butts off!
I never knew he was comedian as I only know him as the Dean from the Nutty Professor.
I know him from Law & Order. I also knew he was a comedian but never checked his videos until I see this one on my suggestions!
I think he was also "The Doorman" from a Seinfeld episode.
@@Cybrsk8r Yes he stepped out to get a beer.
He was also the dad to Julia stiles & Larisa oleynik in 10 things I hate about you (1999)
Never gets old 😂👏
I never knew that this Man was a stand up comedian, all the years of watching Suburban Commando =P
I didn't know this guy was a stand-up comedian, I've only ever seen him in movies & TV.
pantslizard one of Jerry Seinfelds good friends a long time ago if not still I don't know
LUVED Larry as “The Doorman” on an episode of Seinfeld. Very funny stuff here too.
Wow, I remember seeing this when it originally aired.
He was great in the Nutty Professor movies. Guy was a great comedy character actor
He is good in everything he does... Anyone remember him in Pretty Woman as the proprietor of a Clothing Boutique in Beverly Hills that kisses Richard Gere and Julia's asses while they were there
Big Mike That’s it! Thank you
Hilarious in Necessary Roughness too!! :P " I was strict, but fair" LOL
Yea, but he was never the same after the guinea pig thing.
Great classic late 80s early 90s stand up, the stuff they used to show on Comedy Central all the time...Rita Rudner!
you can see it that way, or enjoy the beginning of day.. the birds chirping, the sun rising, knowing you are there to experience all in its totality, being one with nature and grateful for life and this magnificent gift of creation... (that is, before passing out and sleeping it off the rest of the day as your wife writes a list of all things she will be discussing with you; more like telling you off because you know you are in the wrong and that is her time to recollect all 13 years of imperfections and bad behavior you have made while being together which she has kept all records ordered by date..)... but it's worth it!! lol
I keep watching this. It's my life story.
Mine too. I like "now the devil is bar tending" line and he shakes drinks and sets them on the bar!!!
There is a better life...
One of my all time favorite stand up gigs.
Absolutely brilliant stand up
Such a great act. A classic!
I have watched a lot of comedy and this is one of the best bits of all time.
Sounds like every night in a Marine Corps barracks.
Christ I was RAN and SF over my 8yrs AD....and you don’t think 25y/o senior NCOs did this in the 1SFG barracks? Oh fuck yes we did! Never before a Group run though...the col made it clear what would happen if he caught one whiff. But in RAN BAT it was fine..ppl puked, just fell right back in. No drunk on duty there...unless we were on red cycle 😳 Didn’t wanna get caught drinking when looking at wheels-up ready in 24 hours on a red cycle... us joes called it ‘banishment’
I remember seeing Larry do this bit on the tonight show with Johnny hosting. He got called over to the couch.
BTW I love his baggy 80's suit. Lol
This comedians delivery is amazing.
This is the best performance of this bit!
The Doorman in Seinfeld. Larry Miller is one of Jerry's best friends.
You think you're better than me??
Jon Mendez haven't seen that one very many times.Thats where he leaves and Jerry takes over as doorman if I remember.Wish they would have had him on more often.
phxxr650r is this Newman?
Thanks. Driving me nuts where I've seen him before...
That was such a great episode. I never knew who the doorman was but he was so in charge during the scene he was unforgettable. Glad I found him on YT.
new level for quarantine lol
One of the alltime great routines.
A waitress with fresh stitches comes over and i think to myself someday i am going to marry that girl hahahaha
Shoot for the stars sir.
And this time I mean it.
Yeah but the stitches have to be fresh!
@@tolfan4438 They do.
Tofurkey
LM on Law and Order: "We were just a couple of guys having a couple of drinks and.."
Briscoe: "...and what, you became a couple ?"
LM: laughs
"A waitress with fresh stitches in her head comes over..." bwahahaha
This brand of comedian used to make you laugh for real, not a single curse word.
classic bit. reminds me of a time i got fired for still being drunk. i had been written up and warned to not miss another day... so i did the next best thing, came in to work shit faced. some guys tried to cover for me but someone told on me... and that was that. not my proudest moment but there you go.
Did you head straight to the bar when you left work that day? I would've. Or at least picked up a 12 pack on the way home. Deal with it tomorrow.
Aged 18 I came back from the pub at lunchtime whilst working at a meat factory/butchers, with the best excuse I could muster- that the police has been to the pub and refused to let anyone leave😂
As I was professing that I wasn’t actually drunk I fell over and pulled myself back up by gripping on to my managers trousers whilst laughing. (It was a shit job so I can laugh now)
One of my favorite bits of all time. However,
There is only one level of drinking if you live in a trailer park.
23chrisfm What a coincidence! I was massaging your empty comment with my asshole when I stumbled over a beer bottle! Which is why I accidentally shit all over your comment. Sorry about that.
daer devvyl Level 4
I'm 19 and an full blown alcoholic thanks to living in a trailer park 😂😂 you're not wrong
@@sfm.viciousmane1374 Just in case you are serious
about that- get some help. I was a full blown drug dumpster at 19. The best thing I ever did was find respect for myself and quit. That was thirty years ago.
I got a new bar from this before I even watched it.
Watching this all I could keep thinking about was thank God for the DVD. I do NOT miss VHS. That being said,
Larry Miller is still hilarious
If only I had turned the five levels into a comedy act.
god's flashlight and the devil's tending bar, a classic for the ages
Larry is the man. He was on an episode of AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE: NUMBER ONE IN THE HOOD G, Alongside the man, the myth, the legend Mr. Carl BRUTANANADILEWSKI. Shoot had I been on an episode of ATHF I would feel like the luckiest guy alive, Way better than winning an Oscar, a Grammy .etc,
Damn...We have all been there before
