      DeathWatch 1212 personally (and I forgot to say that in the original comment) the failed Xanax story is number one. This and Horse in a Hospital are tied. Others are anything regarding eighth graders and Horse in a Hospital. Honestly, John Mulaney is the best comic working today and everything he says is hilarious.

    How many people started playing Tom Jones’s “what’s new pussycat” after they heard this? I started playing it over and over again to see what would happen to my brain. And John is right. After about four times you can’t be sure if you’ve only heard it once and it’s really long, or if you’re hearing it a dozen times. This technique could be used as a kind of weapon of psychological warfare to use against enemies.

Brother caught on after the 3rd that something was up, niece was oblivious.

I heard this story, same diner and same song, from their perspective, and I thought it was hilarious, it’s strange knowing that it lines up to be the same occasion, and quite possibly, the angry man is my grandpa and one of his kids is my mother.

Anyways, I discovered John Mulaney early last year, and I absolutely loved him. I remember hearing his album version of this joke, and I was like "hey this is the joke, but this isn't the way I remember it being performed."

So my friend and I snuck up to the box and put "I Like Bread & Butter" on. As soon as the guys heard that song there was pandemonium and screams so we ran out laughing. I still chuckle when I hear either one of those songs.

    Though I've grown out of it to an extent, this is the kind of evil perfection I love to see in our lives! Seriously, in a weird way it brings hope. The worst I've done has been sneaking a speaker into our workplace (it's relatively calm there), and setting up rimshots to play when puns are made. That's been fun on it's own, but getting people used to the sound and then playing it for a non-joke is a surprisingly great way to get "what's new pussycat return" - style reactions. This is actually still ongoing, and nobody's connected the dots yet.
