As a Gastroenterologist, this is one of the funniest things ive seen! LOVE IT Can he please do this at our annual GI meetings!
There are many things I could comment to you, except I would probably sound like an a$$. Then you would send me a bill. Enjoy your boat.
LOL
Seriously Thank You for putting up with us Butt Holes.

“It left me Chapped”. LMFAO! This guy is friggin funny!
Oh my gosh the way he said that! I lost it! LOL!!
Night Of A Thousand Waterfalls!
When I had my last one at 73, I asked the doctor to write a note to my wife assuring her that he did not find my head in there.
I told the Doc and Nurse "If you find any money up there, YOU CAN KEEP IT! Besides, I crapped my brains out yesterday so we can forget about my brain tumor. IT"S GONE!" (I really did say that. They laughed and Thanked me for making their day)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
His mannerisms remind me of a mix of Kramer from Seinfeld and Christopher Lloyd in Taxi
Yes! Agreed.
"What does the yellow light mean??"

He looks like the nutty professor but he's even funnier - I'm really loving his act!

Had my first one at 38. My mother died of colon cancer. Don't put it off. Get it done.
pughconsulting Yes, get it done. My same-age cousin died at 42 after a 5-year battle with colon cancer, while I held her hand. Testing should start earlier than age 50.
The best medicine: vegetarianism. Don't put it off!
@JoJo Skye
Yeah, it's not a magic bullet, but it does improve health and decrease risk of cancers a lot.
Ditto had my first at 34 it’s never too early . No polyps.
Repeat in 5 years
I'll just let you get it done in place of me. I will pass, but thanks anyway.
Put a TV in the bathroom because you will be sitting there for a very long time
If you can't put a tv in thw bathroom, make sure that you have a strong wi-fi signal in the bathroom and that your devices are fully charged so that you can still watch Netflix , hulu, youtube or any other streaming app while you're sitting your brains out.😂💩🚻.
I drug my tv, NES classic, and iPad, in there!
iPad, Tucs, Vaseline, wet wipes.....the endless night lol.
Cell phone works if you bring in the charger with you...
My wife says to me, "Wow you are really peeing a lot!". My reply of course was "That's not pee!!"
I was working nights cleaning a public pool the first time I had to drink that devil juice.
Nobody warned me.
They should have warned me!!!
I drank it on my way out the door to work. Never had so much trouble unlocking a door and tapping in an alarm code in my life.
I got the job done shortly before the early bird swim began. All I can say is, I'm grateful that pools have so many toilets because I used every single one at least once that night.
You poor thing- I have had to prep for those a couple times and I can’t imagine having to work at the same time!!
I'm 44 and have had 4 of these procedures done. Started in my early 30's. They have found polyps each time except for this last time. My father died of colon cancer at age 64. So if you have a family history don't ignore the warning signs even in your 30's. The age 50 thing is meant if you don't have a history. So just be aware! My dad may have lived longer had he known of or not ignored the signs.
@gypsijewel Blood in your stool is the most obvious. Like several movements in a row. You'd go see your family doctor and he would do an initial examination, talk about your history and family history. Then if he feels it necessary refer you to a specialist.
Been there, done that.
And in my first case .... the surgeon said to me “you’re a very lucky man ... because you had a cancerous polyp, and if you’d left it for another 6 months it would have killed you”.
Everyone needs to have these checks ... for Christ’s sake, DO NOT LET YOUR EMBARRASSMENT STOP YOU FROM SAVING YOUR OWN LIFE !!!!!!!
Wow - VERY glad you bit the bullet and got one. He's right - they don't hurt, but man, the PREP.
Right on. Three-timer myself.
Don't take whatever a doctor says at face value. We're all gonna die one day. Lol
John Swaim yeah but the idea is to stay around as long as you can
When my brother in law was sick with it he got so bad. It was horrible. He looked so awful. He passed away at 62 . 💫🌞
Don’t drink that crap all at once and, be careful when you fart the next day.
A fart isn’t always a fart.
Arthur you get to a certain age that you can’t trust ANY fart, my friend.
mgmcd1 I’m 55 and I’m beginning to find that out.
NEVER trust a fart.
My friend jacob is 34 and he went to Disneyland last month with me and my 11 year old daughter for her birthday right.. we were in line for the space mountain ride.. we were about 40 minutes invested in a 70 minute line.. all of a sudden everyone started whiffing something strong.. my friend leans into my ear n says “I’ll be right back...” and slowly steps away.. me and my daughter got on the ride and had fun, upon our exit my friend was standing by the exit n told me he crapped his pants 🤣 i told him “always test the fart first...”
@@mgmcd1 😄😃😅😆
This human is funny!! Even his face is funny... i like it !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What’s funny: I’m sitting in a waiting room waiting for my colonoscopy right now.
How'd it go?
Hope everything was fine
Loraine Spencer See my longer comment if you are wanting to know how it is. 🤗
Did everything come out ok?
Last time anybody heard from Mr Teff was 4 months ago.....bummer
Ross is hilarious! His connection with the audience, his inflections, his look of surprise and/or disbelief... the message and delivery style are compelling!
cottonclarksa And the hair, don't forget about the hair!
Great advice! I learned I had stage one colon cancer. Grateful that I’m cured after my bowel resection. It was caught early enough that I didn’t need chemo or radiation. If you have a family history of colon cancer talk to your doc. You might have to have your first at 40 or earlier. Peace
I had one in my early 30s. He's not joking about the night before. My butt felt like the nozzle of a heavily used flame thrower. 🔥
Haaaaaaahaaaha good one
Can you be more descriptive? TMI
I've been there too. That was a lovely comparison.
🤣🤣🤣
Hysterical! I was laughing right along (having already experienced the joy of a colonoscopy). When he pulled out the chapstick though I LOST it!!!!!
This guy is a comedic genius
Best tips I got from the internet: lemon juice helps get the prep solution down. Mine tasted like lemon furniture polish. Awful. Bit into a lemon wedge and then, using a big smoothie straw, got the Prep down. But the procedure was the best sleep of my life!
The colonoscopy isn't bad, it's the prep that is hard.
@Chuck Taylor drink half as much, but if it's still gonna be the "night of a thousand waterfalls," gotta wonder if it's worth it. I like my sleep!
If it’s hard, your not drinking enough Go Lightly.
I'm under 50and I've had four of those vile things. The preparation is horrendous! Two of those times I was scoped out both ends! I told them they better use a separate scope for each end! Lol
51 and just had my 4th a few months ago.... I've also had 2 upper endoscopy, those are a breeze.
Same. I’m 35 and had my fourth on May.
I'm 19 and I've had a colonoscopy and a flex sigmoidoscopy with no anesthesia ( and yes that means completely awake with no medicine ) word for the wise don't have ulcerative colitis lmao 😂
@@kimhaze1790 if only ulcerative colitis gave me a choice
23 when u had both ends.
I woke up during the (throat tube) and they were yanking the camera. I felt like Neo in the Matrix when he first woke. Awful.
He is Hysterical, Oh My Stars!!! Chapstick!
This guy is good real good. He's so good you could tell he takes charge of the joke and puts it out there it out there with no fear that's confidence.
I need to make a payment on my boat...
I used to joke about helping my kid’s orthodontist make the payments on his Porsche.
OMG! I actually hurt myself laughing. He was chapped. Hahahaha. So true. Been there, had that done. Snort.
Mr. Bennett I know exactly what you mean!! UGH, I too had my colonoscopy, and "THE PREP" was the worst part of the whole experience. I literally felt VIOLATED... I never want to go through that again. But... The Dr told me to see him in 3 years. I'm contemplating that offer.
Take the offer. I held my same-age cousin’s hand while she died of colon cancer at age 42. It’s a horrible way to go.
@@kathyyoung1774 Sorry for your loss. I'll go in for my 3 year checkup.
Kathy Young so sad ! We lost my brother in law to it, he was 64 . And the loviest man ever. Blessings to you. 🌟🌻
Goes in for colonoscopy...
Doctor looking at screen: is that a tube of chapstick?
Guy: so that’s where it went...
Now that's what I call comedy!!!
He reminds me of Professor Irwin Cory.
I love this guys delivery.
I COMPLETELY lost it when he said now when you're Done with the chapstick....
Hilarious! BTW, There's a new prep that is only 2-16 oz cups.
Just Having Fun
Well, that SOUNDS better...
But, question is, will I need a seatbelt on the toilet?
Oh man, I hope you're right. That gallon is hard to get down. :)
The most foul tasting stuff on the planet
Prep tastes like salted motor oil😝! They should make every colon doctor drink it THEMSELVES once a month! 😂🤣 I couldn’t get it down; I kept throwing it up🤮. I had to be hospitalized. No matter what they tell you, the vile taste of that prep can’t be disguised, EVER, no, not ever!
They have a cherry flavored one... so its like salt water with light hint of cherry.
Just had my fourth one about 2 weeks ago the prep goes a lot easier if you start fasting 2 days before the procedure
That makes perfect sense! I’m going to do that next time and save myself some agony! Thanks.
But the taste.....
Thank for the tip! I just scheduled my first and am a bit apprehensive 😬
Silver Girl you can put some powdered drink mix in it and get it really cold that helps a lot and just chug it as quick as you can
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've had 15 colonoscopies and am now cancer free and no longer have a colon. He is so right!!
OMG
I’m at that point.
I’m going to laugh through the experience.
And throw away the chapstick 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had just turned 50 when I had my colonoscopy. There's nothing like sitting in a doctor's office, being told you have cancer. I had stage 3 colorectal cancer. I woke up from surgery with a bag (my worst nightmare) 9 months of chemo and 2 months of radiation. It was hard. I was told I was in remission but now I have a huge knot in the vicinity of my liver/pancreas which is one of the places colorectal cancer migrates to, the other is the lungs. I mean, it could be a hernia but I'm leaning towards cancer..... I don't know. Don't wait until you're 50 to get a colonoscopy.... Especially if you have an immediate family member that has had colon/colorectal cancer. I'll be 53 in March.... I hope I see 54 or 55.
FenBen for cancer. Check it out. And use flor essence when using chemo and radiation.
When I had my colonoscopy, I asked the doctor that if during the procedure if I opened my mouth, could I shine a beam of light on the wall? The doctor had no sense of humor! Ross's advice based on actual facts is so funny because it's true!
Okay....that was funny! Great timing....well executed! And not a single curse word or vulgarity! Well done.
Thank you for this. You will save lives! This is too funny and so true!
Can I borrow your chapstick? Um, yeah, um, ummm, here's $2 dollars...I suggest you go buy a new one
Oh my gosh! This guy is AWESOME!!! 😄😄😂
This is great. I will have to share this one!
Due for my second one in October. First one the prep was so severe the doctor said it was the cleanest bowel he ever saw. I told him that I guess so, I passed my tonsils that were removed in the second grade. Embarrassed my daughter but I laughed with the doctor.
The prep, oh the agony. It’s tastes like metallic salt water. I had my 4th one in May. I kept throwing it back up. 😩
Carmen Hall That’s why I won’t get one. Salt water gags me. I can’t bring myself to do it. Sorry you’ve had so many. 😑
@@silvergirl3688 i guess it depends oin what brand of prep it is but mine was lemon flavoured. I had trouble as instead of drinking it in 2 hours i had to stretch it out to 5 hours as i couldnt tolerate so much liquid all at once.
Silver Girl your playing with fire then pet!
i got 3/4 of that thing down before i started throwing everything up.. couldn't even stomach plain water anymore.. tasted like $h8t. and i can't handle having a stomach full of liquid.. Being only 27 at the time, i was not ready for that mess... its been only 2 yrs since but i'm fearful of the next time , which will be within the next few yrs :')
My first one, it tasted so freaking bad. Decided to alternate drinking cranberry juice and golytely. Next thing I know I'm puking cranberry juice and golytely. Now that is an evil taste...
I’m under 50 and I’ve had two. Ugh. My poor dad just had to have one and they found something. Not sure if it’s cancer yet, but if there is something there...I’m glad they found it.
Hope it's benign. Rooting for your dad.
Pray pray pray to Jesus!
My dad had benign polyps. I was clean as a whistle. It's better to be proactive - it can save your life. Wishing your father a good report!
Just found out they’re benign, but still considered pre cancerous. I think they run in our family. But for now everything is ok. Thank you for the prayers
Fenben for cancer. Check it out.
Im 36 and have had 3 so far due to UC. My word this brought tears to my eyes. Good stuff
Grinning up til he got to the part about chapstick, then I was rolling.
Btw, sensitive skin baby wipes will help, too. Use those instead of toilet paper. Just remember they're not flushable, so you'll have to toss them into a trash bag and throw it out when it's all over.
Eww most can work that out themselves😝💩
Hope Filled Sinner Most. For some you have to specify. Sadly.
I was advised to use *lots* of vaseline jelly. I pass this advice to anyone who expresses the slightest concern about a colonoscopy. Maybe we have a different *prep* drink in the UK, but, while I wouldn't choose the flavour for every day, I didn't find the taste all that unpleasant, however, dealing with the quantity was a problem..... I'm due another next summer
Red T I use Charmin (butt wipes) always! And they are flushable! 🌝
Baby wipes say they're flushable, but it's not a good idea to flush them. They'll either eventually clog your drain or the main sewer.
Chapstick. LMFAO
Did “bowel prep” for a surgery in my 30s. Hard time getting it all down... tastes awful. I can confirm the unpleasant results as well. 😫 BUT, it’s better than the consequences of *colon cancer* which is *100% treatable* if caught in the early stage!
This guy is amazing!
Have had three. Not so bad and the best nap you will ever have.
I had one at 45 and had 5 hobgoblins removed. I turned 50 three months ago, so I'm overdue for another. It really is painless. That anesthetic is amazing. I was talking about the 1994 Pink Floyd Pulse Tour show I saw in Clemson, and right before I could tell the doctor that he didn't need to use all 30 feet of that camera cable, I was out cold. 45 minutes later, as soon as I came to, I picked up where I left off in the telling of that Pink Floyd story. Remember these two very important points, though folks. Number 1. You only have one body. You won't get another. There are no trade-ins. Number 2. It's always a good idea to shake hands with the doctor before he gets started. Never afterwards. 😊
So, I guess Lewis Black has a little brother.
AndreNGropo yeah but this guy is funny. Lewis not so much
This guy is right on target!
Brilliant set!! Hahahahaha
Best laugh I’ve had in a while 🤣🤣🤣
First I found ms pat now this guy....I been under a rock!
I can't remember when I've laughed that loud at a four minute routine. Thank you.
This guy is awesome! Also watch Jeff Foxworthy colonoscopy stand up too. It’s hilarious!
MrNikkishandbag
Ok 😭

You're right about Jeff Foxworthy. I got hysterical when he talked about "having to give the air back" after the procedure! 😂
Oh my goodness, this guy!!! :D :D
I had to watch a second time!! TOO FUNNY!
😂😅😂You're Soooo Super Funny!! Loved it!!! 😂😃👍👍
I once saw a farmer kissing a cows arse. I said why are you doing that? He said his lips were chapped. I said does that cure it? He said no but it stops him licking his lips for a while.
I love this guy. I had a colonoscopy at 18. I'm glad I can look back and laugh...through the trauma
My dad had one go bad...they wrecked him in his rectum.
Ironically the colon screening for cancer found no cancer....but after antibiotics failed to clear his septic state....they opened him up...and scrubbed him with visual assisted elbow grease action....a few days later..had to open him up again (cuz they missed some)... And this time...they let him heal from the inside out...
I got to see human meat when the nurse came to the home to do dressing changes. This does make me wonder if humans taste like beef...
Looked just like something you'd find in the meat section at the grocery store.
I had no idea what to expect for mine... I should have purchased stock in toilet paper....
Our water bill was higher that month.
I was done with the solid food being cleared out in less than 2 hrs....and I thought ... This should be easy. I was still going more than I thought possible (or necessary)...
I was in a dept wide weight loss competition during this time..
And one of my teammates suggested they ALL do the prep!
I told them I was not a fan. I was able to lose more water weight by running and it took less time than all the running to the toilet.
I told my wife that the next time I need to do this.... I'll go to a hotel...
Jeffrey Potter Can we assume this was not recently?
@@kathyyoung1774 dads or mine?
@@kathyyoung1774 I'm answering both. Dads was quite some time back. He was in the military and when his healing time was done...while at PT he tried to do a sit up and gave himself a hernia...which led to a medical diacharge.
My colonoscopy was less than a couple months ago.
Yes, the odds of severe complications are 5 times the rate of any benefit to undergoing it. General public has a .5% chance, or less, of colorectal cancer, yet the chance for negative complications resulting from the scope is between 2 and 5%. I will take my chances and forego the scope altogether.
@@johnswaim3919 my middle brother ended up having colorectal cancer and due to the experience with our dad... He was not wanting to deal with the docs. He thought he was dealing with kidney stones. He now has a ileostomy and is on chemotherapy. Wiping his energy out. The docs are saying they got all the cancer...but are still going through the full therapy. (Just to be sure)
Not fun.
.....
So important. I lost my Papaw. Then my Uncle, then my father all in less than a year. All from colon cancer. I've had them done since I was 40. It doesn't hurt. Just do it. It can save your life! Period!
I love this guy!
I think they should rename the prep to... I think I'm dying.
I had precancerous polyps in my 30s. That was long ago. I then had to have this every 2 years. Never knew bc no symptoms. My Mom had 80% of her colon removed bc of this.
I'm all good now. The actual Colonoscopy is a breeze, you will find out just how strong you are, the night b4 😂🤣😳😜
Talented, quick, endearing...dark
The worst part of the colonoscopy is definitely the prep.
That’s so true and funny after I’ve had one. Lol
Would love to see your show whenever your in SF.
Sioux Falls?
You are a funny Person!😅
So funny! Colonoscopies can be life savers. Mine found stage 3 colon cancer. That was almost 19 years ago thanks to some great doctors and the colonoscopy I have not had a recurrence.
Dude I had a colonoscopy at 14 and another by the time I was 18.
The man speaks the truth.
Hysterical! And true.
Oh my truth! Had a colonoscopy and woke up in the middle of the procedure, will somebody answer the dumb phone, I hear the dr tell knock her out knock her out and I said are you at least going to answer the phone first!
I like a colonoscopy! The deep NAP that you get outta the deal is a gift! Best nap! LOL
Very true I enjoy it, too bad i got to wait another 4- 5 years oh darn 😄😅😃
I usually get my colonoscopy and endoscopy together once asked the doctor which one he performs first he said if you wake up with a bad taste in your mouth you'll know
Two thumbs up.
Hilarious . In an appropriate way .
Funny, funny, funny, thanks
Funniest thing I've ever seen in a long TIME! Lol
In the UK we had a great comedian called Ken Dodd...this guy reminds me so much of him
I told the doctor I have a tattoo back there. He said they have seen it all. I said you don’t understand, it says “EXIT ONLY “. They all had a good laugh as I started counting backwards and only made it to 8
HILARIOUS!!!
I like the old fashioned comedy very classy
I didn’t find the drink to be very bad, the elimination round was really no problem. No pain from procedure & if you have any polyps, they are removed during the colonoscopy. Don’t be shy, the specialist sees butts all day, he/she doesn’t think anything about it. You don’t HAVE to have drugs to sleep thru the procedure, but most people do. They told me some people are awake through the whole thing if they want to be. Not me, no thanks.
A lady I know who was close to my age was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. So as soon as I hit 50, I didn’t wait. The polyp I had removed could have turned into cancer if it hadn’t been found. They will nearly always be cancerous if left untreated for 10 years, and catching them early is so easy & removal was easy & 99% painless(to me). After having a polyp, you return for colonoscopy in 5 years.
Bloody legend
LMAO!! You are great!!!🤣🤣🤣
Super funny!!!
Throw the chapstick away.
Give it to someone you don't like. Tell them, here use this. You can keep it.
Don't put back in your pocket because you'll forget and use it later.
Mine is scheduled a month and half from now.
This guy makes great funny faces.
"they won't go in your hiney until it's bright and shiny..." Wow!
Guess I better buy some turtle wax... 😁
Don't wait as long as I did. Cancer was Stage 2 when it was found. All clean now except for the bag I have to wear. Might try a reversal in a year or so.
I've had one and I hope to never have one again
Liz They aren’t fun, but I hope you live a long and happy live. Don’t put these off.
I had one ten years ago at 57. The actual procedure is fine, but the 5 day lead-up with only bland food and finally the awful drink on the final day nearly tipped me over the edge of sanity. Then I woke up and heard those dreaded words. "Bad prep. Go straight back on the diet" In other words, I failed. Another 5 days of gut torture. Surely with all the medical advances there should be a way to shrink the 5 days down to 2. What about a colonic irrigation cleanout? I'm getting desperate and hysterical now, I. know. Maybe a gastroenterologist will read this and just tell me why this is not possible.
wooses! jeez, if that's the worst you've had to endure, you've lead a sheltered life!!!!
