I always appreciate your efforts please don’t take any negative opinions I may have about an act as directed at you in any way. Keep up the great work!
This is only a small part of one of the greatest specials in the history of comedy. Please do more Doug. It takes a while to understand where he's coming from because he doesn't pander to get a mass audience.
Omg...so many blind-faith, humorless idiots in these comments. Doug (most of the time) speaks the pure truth that many people simply cant acknowledge because of thwir own misguided fanaticsm.
I don't understand why anyone would be proud of a country where so many people do not have access to healthcare without going bust, or a place where millions of people get 0 days paid leave, as a a European it sounds semi dark age.
Why do you insist on guarantees in a world of scarcity? Why do you advocate enslaving doctors for your own benefit? From where does your right to a doctor’s labor come? Why is it your employer’s responsibility to make sure you can have paid leave? Since when can people get paid for not working? Liberals make me laugh. Calling anyone who disagrees with their social engineering schemes selfish while demanding guarantees in a world where there isn’t any. It is nothing but bought votes with stolen money and broken promises.
Because it has nothing to do with healthcare or government benefits. It’s the idea of America and what America is supposed to be that we’re proud of. Government staying out of our lives and pockets because they’re crooks and neglectfully spend 95% of our money in ways that do not help us whatsoever, while trying to convince us we need them so we can vote them in and fatten their pockets along with their family and friends. The fact that America was created by successfully fighting off taxation without representation. None of us are proud of or happy with what’s going on now with our overreaching underperforming government. The pride we have refers to what those before us have sacrificed fighting for our freedom from the government, and for some of the few valuable rights we do have left which are constantly being fought to be stripped away from us.
this whole stand up is one of the greatest things ever made in comedy. you need to watch the full thing, its raw AF, more like a guys putting his demons out on display and ranting about the status quo...to me its pure philosphy
I think Standhope loves the country, but he is pointing out how dumb people can be. There is a difference in patriotism and nationalism, you can love your country without condemning other countries. Immigration is what makes this country great and I agree that it should be done in legal channels instead of border hopping, however to say illegals are taking all the jobs is ignoring corporations sourcing out work to less developed countries for cheaper labor so shareholders can get their bag.
respecting and honoring your country isnt the same as taking credit for its history.. thats where too many cross the line.. I didnt fight in the pacific in ww2 to stop the Japanese, but my Father did i can be proud of what HE did without trying to conflate it with anything im doing..
Greetings from your 65 yr old white dude demographic . Love your show. It’s great to see people listen to and appreciate the music of my youth. On that theme I thought you may like to check out Santana Inner Secrets Album esp the track Open Invitation. It’s a Buddy Holly cover that I would rank as good as Hendrix cover of Dylan’s Watchtower ? Hope you enjoy, be well and keep the videos coming. Thanks Michael
Gotta check out Stanhope's version of The Aristocrats. His Deadbeat Hero album/dvd is one of the greatest specials ever. Up there with Dave Attell's Skanks for the Memories. His Mentally Ill vs Mentall Challenged bit (No Place Like Home special) needs to be heard by every American.
It's very cool you react to music, comedy, sports. One of the better react channels I've had the pleasure to check out. Well done and thanks for the videos. By the way that pendulum contraption behind you is very cool can you drop a link for where to get/find one?
stanhope is my favorite. he takes a lot after carlin and hicks. a lot of his sets are improv and not really planned out, he'll typically go on stage with a few general premises for material and just wing it. but when he's doing a special that's mostly material that he's written and practiced, which is something he doesn't usually do. that's why it's awesome to go see him live because that's when he's most in his "natural habitat", and he says he gets uncomfortable on camera. his specials are never as good as his live sets.
Doug is in my top 10 people that are alive. I've seen him live twice; once shortly after he released a special and he had written notes and he still killed. I loved his first book Digging Up mother. I read it when while in rehab for alcohol (self admitted) im sure you can guess how that went after I left. 😅 People either get Doug or they don't because they live in a complete different lifestyle in their head so his jokes aren't always relatable.
It was obvious that Polo felt uncomfortable because the truth was plainly spoken; I dont expect him to reflect on why because if he was use to that kind of reflection he probably wouldnt be so hyper nationalistic and transphobic.
The idea that you felt the need to explain that you are a patriot after watching Stanhope blows my mind, dudes literally challenging you to think for yourself, give it a try.
Totally agree with his opening statement. But, human beings appear to need an enemy to hate and conquer. People are loyal to wherever they were born. My question is, why?
Human nature. We have to be aware of how f'd it can be to grow. We evolved to live in small tribes, tribalism is a natural outcome. None of that makes it "good."
What happens when one group has all the power and these new world order globalists that don’t seem to care the least about poor people have the ability to do whatever they want to us. Make us eat bugs.. tell us that we’ll own nothing and we’ll be happy? What happens when nobody is left to fight back against abuse? One world government is slavery
I personally believe that nationalism and patriotism are fear-based. I'll never forget all the flags that came out right after 9-11. Never saw so many at once in my life (I'm 69). And what I sensed from most of the people flying them wasn't love of country - I sensed fear. Fear. The US had never come under attack on its own soil in modern history and people were afraid of...they didn't know what.
I can’t agree with everything Doug says either, but he’s hilarious and he has great timing. I kinda feel the same about Bill Hicks but Hicks was the absolute GOAT of dark humor and the older I get the more I find myself agreeing with him.
Doug is awesome. Do more, but back to football. Dick Butkis died yesterday. He was known as the meanest player ever. Check out one of his highlight reels.
I am glad you reacted, I hadn't heard of him and it will be interesting to see his take on some other topics, I suspect there will be some gems there. BUT, I think reacting to these things that start getting political is risky. I haven't been into watching reactions all that long so don't fully understand the typical natural progression. But at least a couple I noticed.... interesting and fun reactions when it was about music, movies and the like, but then they got into stuff that was a little political or contentious.... Before long, that became the theme and they were coming off more as a political pundit than an interesting, fun, neutral reactor. There is too much division out there, I think when people start detecting it many will walk away, an many reactors don't even know what they are doing until they have gone down a rabbit hole that will label them.
I’m sure a ton of other people will say this. But do “mother and the after life” Or the abortion bit from Dead beat hero. Those are some classics. Especially the afterlife one.
Low skill jobs are going away whether we like it or not. So yeah maybe making college more affordable isnt a bad idea. Also maybe and i know this is a wild idea to alot of people maybe we shouldn't demonize every single person who doesn't have a full time job.
You obviously have an ideological difference to what Doug is saying here but I would be more interested to hear why you don't agree as opposed to just saying "I'm not sure I'd agree." Doug's persona is the raging alcoholic on stage but his reasoning is quite clear and articulate so it would be nice to have an equally articulate and reasoned response.
Your reaction suggest that you have some hard feelings about somethings that you would be better off letting go. I know for a fact if I had reacted with pay back in mind, prison would be the least of my worries and the cycle would continue.
Libertarians are cool and Standhope is my favorite I think. They lose me when they start talking about abolishing the IRS and going back to the gold standard. A lot of them fail to realize that unchecked corporations are far more evil and negatively impactful on our way of life then the government itself.... Mostly because they own the government ....
Who do you think creates corporations? Could it be that they are chartered by government? Which is what differentiates them from regular private businesses, and gives them extra "rights?"
Probably the only thing dumber than nationalism is hate for your own country. Doug is doing the typical liberal comedian schtick which is let me present liberal politics under the guise of comedy while being completely unfunny. It's just so tedious. "You know what's funny guys, hating on conservatives and calling it comedy, am I right?"
@@alexanderstark5192 Imagine being so dumb as to think I'm triggered but better yet being so dumb as to think "awe" means "aww."

Thinking everything is kumbaya and we don’t have t mind our own? Just naive to the point of purposely. No nothing here was funny nothing was anything but hateful and evil.
@@christopherhebert9069 Thanks for your service. I can believe your intentions were good, but that says nothing of the intentions of those who sent you. Most wars were fought for f'd reasons, factually.

Outside of his left-wing views he's pretty funny. Constantly shiting on people who actually care about their country and who stand up for those values isn't a good personality trait and I don't have respect for those type of beta males. His type of politics and the people he backs for political office is the reason why we're in the situation we're in now. Don't insert politics into your comedy if you don't want people to point out your ass backwards way of thinking. And actually try to be funny if you want to call yourself a comedian.

Projection, is that you?
My favorite bit has to be Doug's take on teaching a man to fish. There is nobody like Stanhope.

"Partiotism is loving your country.
Nationalism is loving your country and hating all other ones."
Nah, they've both hateful, if you're honest
The best comedians speak from truth. Patrice, Stanhope, Hicks, younger Burr.
Younger burr 🤣 💯
Some folks have a problem separating patriotism from nationalism, it seems.
yea too many people dont understand MANY of the words they use...
They should, it's the same bs by different names
Doug is the GOAT. MANY top level comedians say that he is there favorite i.e. Dave Attell and Mike Burbiglia etc.
this whole stand up is one of the greatest things ever made in comedy. you need to watch the full thing, its raw AF, more like a guys putting his demons out on display and ranting about the status quo...to me its pure philosphy
This reaction wasnt one of you better ones for me. It appeared that the idealogical examination put you off. Shame really, Stanhope is amazing.
I think Standhope loves the country, but he is pointing out how dumb people can be. There is a difference in patriotism and nationalism, you can love your country without condemning other countries. Immigration is what makes this country great and I agree that it should be done in legal channels instead of border hopping, however to say illegals are taking all the jobs is ignoring corporations sourcing out work to less developed countries for cheaper labor so shareholders can get their bag.
respecting and honoring your country isnt the same as taking credit for its history..

Doug Stanhope’s bit about his mother’s death is both morbidly fucked up and hilarious at the same time. Please check it out 👍👍
It was obvious that Polo felt uncomfortable because the truth was plainly spoken; I dont expect him to reflect on why because if he was use to that kind of reflection he probably wouldnt be so hyper nationalistic and transphobic.
Yea all those trannys takin all the straight jobs...
Truth? LMAO.
Wait... there's people that unironically believe that Polo is "hyper nationalistic and transphobic?" LMAO
This full comedy special is one of the funniest fuckin things on the planet. I recommend watching it
You didn’t watch it all
The idea that you felt the need to explain that you are a patriot after watching Stanhope blows my mind, dudes literally challenging you to think for yourself, give it a try.
I have and I do thank you 🙏
This exactly. It's weird.
Yep.
Nahh, Doug was seriously off on this one. Most times he nails it though.
Sorry to hear your patriotism has lynched your sense of humour

This was a weird reaction. I think your ideology got in the way of everything
Seems your ideology is getting in the way of what Polo finds enjoyable. Maybe try a bit of introspection so you project less.
Doug is awesome. Do more, but back to football. Dick Butkis died yesterday. He was known as the meanest player ever. Check out one of his highlight reels.
The better part of this stand up is when he is talking about drugs that keep you working.
Polo! Please, please, please check out Stanhope's "60 inches of AIDS." It is one of his sickest and most hilarious routines!
Pretty sure that was the initial reaction Polo was referring to at the opening.

Maybe if you understood the difference between patriot and nationalist you’d have found it funny.
This bit is dated. I imagine Doug railing on immigrants with Air Jordan's and iPhones in this day and age. He was always a perceptive comic
Yeah. He's not. Because he rails on things that are actually true.
