He's not going for John Travolta,, John Travolta was going for Brooklyn,, Dice Clay is from Brooklyn ,,there where thousands of guys just like that back in the day
kevin lif. I’m sure Travolta inspired this character but no. The character is just supposed to be a huge douche from New York that thinks he’s the shit basically. If you think about it, the only thing Travolta and Dice Clay have in common is the hair and maybe the jacket. Other than that, they’re nothing a like
I don’t think you two can really appreciate Andrew dice clay, you guys might be a little on the young side.After the videos over you were more concerned about the dog actions then appreciating the kind of original material he was using for his stand up, no one was like him back in the day.
Yeah, his humour is satire on the ultra macho culture of brooklyn greasers. It's hard to get it since so many of his fanbase were actual bigots, but it makes sense crude humor would attract those too.
After he got real on Arsenio the bigot fans dropped like flies because they realized he was putting on an act and they realized he was making fun of them the entire time 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the DICEMAN is forever a legend
in 1987 when I was 10 years old I sat in front of tv with adults and watched one of ADC's comedy specials....people in the room were drinking and smoking cigarettes...cursing...whatever adults do at party's they were doing it. I grew up to be a respectful , well mannered and responsible person. most 10 year olds today are coddled into thinking the world is a fluffy cloud of joy where everyone is focused on their well being and everything is PG....no surprise that life hits this generation of young ppl hard when they get out in it.
Just so you guys know, even at the time, this was over-the-top crazy obvious offensive, but on purpose. Clay was a "shock comic" playing a ridiculous character. Only thing was, a lot of people didn't understand it was a joke, and Clay was (very briefly) both the most successful and the most controversial comedian on the planet. People on SNL quit the show when he was hired to host, and he received a lifetime ban from MTV. Kind of ridiculous, looking back now.
I have no problem with him making jokes like that, comedy shouldn't be censored, and people should set their joke "woke" attitudes out of the room if they're too offended. I'm half Japanese and thought his joke was funny about the nuke, squinting, and dental floss blindfold. People now days are overly too sensitive, virtue signaling, unable to realize it's just a joke, and need to grow some thicker skin.
Yeah it wasn't like this was a normal comedy routine back then, There was this guy, Sam Kenison and George Carlin, Almost all the other comics were pg rated
The thing you have to understand about Dice is, his material always was, and always will be controversial. He is one of 5 comedians in history to ever SELL OUT Madison Square Garden. Sadly times have changed a lot and this type of comedy may be frowned upon. Everyone is too politically correct. I could see Ashtyn getting uncomfortable , and than digressing to conversation about the pets at the end. While Jon clearly thought this was funny ( although controversial) he covered his mouth as if it were shameful. Hopefully you enjoy any upcoming skits you find. Love comedy reactions
'Dice' was a character he did on stage. When he very first started doing comedy, he had multiple characters he did, but Dice is the one that caught on with the audience and he went with that to great success.
Dice is an acquired taste for sure. If you were a long haired metal head in the 80's as me and my friends were, you learned this guys stuff and repeated it at work, parties, wherever... He was big, edgy, and hilarious. I guarantee you Jon would enjoy his act more if he weren't right next to Ashtyn but rather sharing a joint with his best buddies. Now "GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE...OH!"
This is from 87 (31 years ago) i as 13 at the time. They could get away with a lot more back then. It was the funniest shit i ever heard. It is admittedly teen humor. Some things are still funny, but it relies a lot on the shock value of it all. Watch "The Dice Man Cometh" it his comedy special. It is pretty good.
He was just in character. He was a shock comedian that got shut down with the PC movement. MTV banned him because he was really hard on women (I said hard on). I think he got a shitty deal and will always be a fan of the DICE MAN.
I think it was fair the blowback he received, not because he really deserved it but because it was expected to happen. His offensive comedy turned shit inside out. I mean, while "transgressive" comedy is usually crude and dirty, the Diceman character is the synthesis of everything rude, on steroids. He is so offensive even back then he got "cancelef" by PC babies back when SJWs were on diapers.
He was big back in the eighties as the character Dice and made a name. He's a big sweetheart in private. That was what comedy is entertainment and at that time the changing culture was just a lot worse than you still have people who he personified today like the President handsome of his supporters. That is why there will always be a constant back and forth because of the old school has to die to make a new school then repeat.
Yeah that new school is to scared to be outrageous and funny, because the next day they are on TV and every social media site apologizing for offensive jokes. The new school comedy isn't comedy, it's a disgrace.
the faqct that you cant joke like this now is explanation enough with what is wrong with todays society. Spread the word "The ONLY thing that needs cancelling. Is the cancel culture. Freedom of though it a basic human right too."
That’s how comedy was back then. We didn’t have cancel culture. Also, he wasn’t mimicking John Travolta. He was dressed like a character called The Fonz from a show called Happy Days.
Thats his break out show. He had multiple characters but only Dice Man worked, so thats his character. I think he could do Elvis impression singing as well.
As someone who was about 20 when this came out its funny to see people your age react. I can tell part of you wants to really laugh and part of you is worried about the offensive language and seem to be holding back.. or maybe this generation just doesnt find this kind of stuff funny. We were much more free back then and we didnt get offended over comedians.
Dice was all about shock value - like Gilbert Gottfried, but less annoying. Contrary to his act, though, he was very personable, approachable, and pleasant in person.
Funniest part is watching millennials try and figure out stuff that happened before they were born. Probably entertained my parents when I was that age too.
Im glad yall were able to enjoy it and laugh about it i dont know how old yall are but alot of people in my age range and younger get offended and tore up so easy anymore
He is one of the reasons why my generation is not offended by anything hardly. That was an act he put on. I hear he is actually a completely different person in real life.
He's not going for Travolta....he's going for Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn back in the day. It's a character....an exaggerated character. It's comedy......it's not real.
This was part of a TV special at Rodney Dangerfield’s club. It aired on one of the premium networks (HBO, Cinemax, etc.) and we recorded it on VHS. Watched it many times. Lots of funny comedians on there. Dice’s comedy was way more shocking than any of the others. That was the point. He was playing an over-the-top character. It allowed him to say things that people thought/did but could never say themselves.
He's neither John Travolta or Fonzie. Marlon Brando dressed like that in the 1950 film "The Wild One." It's a tough guy, biker look, over 70 years old. Guys have been imitating that since.
I was a kid when this cameout and laughed my ass off. Today? Kids have no clue whats going on and are confused all the time. Thisbis what happens when u spend every waking hour looking at your phone.
Dice was hilarious! He’s from the time when people had the self confidence to laugh at themselves and life itself without being “offended” like little bitches.
Lol. Yeah. She is so cringy. First saying hes trying to be John Travolta. Then acting confused about a Walkman. I dont think she gets any of this. Way over her head
It was the mid-80s when generation x was in our early adulthood which might explain why we're not offended by much of anything.. he was portraying the stereotypical white man from Brooklyn at the time. He was basically giving everyone what they thought a white man from Brooklyn would be.. but yes he was on the edge even for that time
Hey sweet heart, he's from Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn, he's one of the greatest comedian's to ever grace the stage, he sold Madison Square Garden not once but twice!!!!!!!! Two night's in a fucking row, no comedian had ever done that back then, he is the Undisputed King of Comedy! He also is a great actor, was in the re make of a Star is Born (because these un creative twats can't think of anything original anymore), playing lady Gaga's father, also was in Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen's movie, a true talent. I don't know why we cater to these pussy, phone obsessed, tattletale narcs, safe space, soy boy, transtesticle freaks, fuck all of these pussy fucks, never, & I mean never apologize to these assholes.
A lot of people didn't like this guy even back in the 80s. I remember SNL, they would have a different host every week. When he was the host of SNL, there were people in the audience booing him and making chants like, "Clay, Clay, go away!" This was while he was doing his routine. I have never seen that happen to anyone else on SNL, ever.
You're correct. You could never get away with that now and yet he is still a legend. He even sold out Madison Square Gardens which was unbelievable for a comedian
He's not going for John Travolta,, John Travolta was going for Brooklyn,, Dice Clay is from Brooklyn ,,there where thousands of guys just like that back in the day
What can you expect with THAT generation of clueless twits.
with a little Andy Ramone thrown in for good measure
Today's children have never been exposed to this kind of comedy - or much of anything else.
He’s not doing a John Travolta impression. That’s a character he came up with and it made him huge. He’s one of the biggest comedians of all time
kevin lif. I’m sure Travolta inspired this character but no. The character is just supposed to be a huge douche from New York that thinks he’s the shit basically. If you think about it, the only thing Travolta and Dice Clay have in common is the hair and maybe the jacket. Other than that, they’re nothing a like
No
@@Kgroenholm his characters hero’s are John Travolta and Sylvester Stallone
@@Kgroenholm
No.
The shock on today’s snowflakes faces today,.......confusion, lol !
That’s all I could think about
Today today.
Exactly lol
I love it!!
Isn't it ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS.The shit they must have in their pants is hilarious lol
When she didn't know what a Walkman was.....that hurt bad...I'm officially old(1971). I remember being 12 at 1983 and getting one for Christmas.
Same with me just a few years older 1969. I tell people that while I'm not over the hill I certainly can see the top of it, lol.
Edit: Fixed a typo.
I don’t think you two can really appreciate Andrew dice clay, you guys might be a little on the young side.After the videos over you were more concerned about the dog actions then appreciating the kind of original material he was using for his stand up, no one was like him back in the day.
There were a few who came close, but not quite
Dice Clay wasn’t going for the “John Travolta” look. He was going for the 80’s New York street punk look.
He states that john travolta,elvis,and sly stallone were his inspiration behind his persona.
Andrew Dice Clay is just an act btw. Everyone that ever worked with him said he was a complete gentlemen.
Yeah, his humour is satire on the ultra macho culture of brooklyn greasers. It's hard to get it since so many of his fanbase were actual bigots, but it makes sense crude humor would attract those too.
@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 bullshit

He wasn't acting completely.
That’s his act he still headlining All over the country
i miss real comedy, it used to be edgy and comedians didnt have to walk on glass.
What are you talking about? Yes they did! Comedians got a lot of flack then and they get a lot of flack now. That being said, dice is the man!

Just saw Dice last night at Magoobys in Baltimore. He was great. After all these years, he still has it.The greatest of all time
That chick looks like she's bewildered or somethin'. She just doesnt get it, does she? John travolta? Cme on
80's were a total carefree BLAST in so many ways! We had tons of FUN 'back in the day'!

the voice he does when he's pretending to be a woman sounds exactly like the jewish guy from family guy

Watch "The Dice Man Cometh" it his comedy special. It is pretty good.
Throwback with Andrew Dice Clay. Loved him growing up.
Oh the good old days of free speach
You can see he wants to bust out laughing but is afraid to
He was just in character. He was a shock comedian that got shut down with the PC movement. MTV banned him because he was really hard on women (I said hard on). I think he got a shitty deal and will always be a fan of the DICE MAN.

He is so offensive even back then he got "cancelef" by PC babies back when SJWs were on diapers.
His transgressive streak is what made him famous, it was expected to eventually generate blowback. Once he run with that act, he signed for both.
This dude is really funny and hilarious
Andrew Dice Clay starred in a movie called Ford Fairlane.
He also played himself in the movie Pretty In Pink.
He's also active on Instagram.
Dice man was the shit back in the day. Never gets old.
Real name is Andrew Goldstein. The dice man was just a character of many. Everyone liked it so much he ran with it
Bobby Thompson, I'm not busting your balls, you just got the "metals" wrong, it's Andrew "SILVER"stein!
Yep, just a nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn.
This is guy humor, especially in the 80's, 90's, 20's. I don't know about nowadays, humor has changed a bit.
The greatest of all time.
Dice was the man Lol
He was big back in the eighties as the character Dice and made a name. He's a big sweetheart in private.

"The ONLY thing that needs cancelling. Is the cancel culture. Freedom of though it a basic human right too."
Back in the '80s Dice played stadiums.
No that's Dice that's the way he always talked. But he does do a good Travolta impression
I remember when I use to spend time in Los Angeles and He was the doorman at The Comedy Store on Sunset that was owned by Pauly Shore’s Mom Mitzi.
Oh my GOD. How have these kids never heard of CLAY? And why do people care about their reaction to comedy if they don’t know the greats?
This was norm USA,,,, women loved it too. My HS GF loved him!!!! Model girl (lived Miami then)
One of my husbands favorite comedians along with George Carlin and Eddie Murphy.
That’s how comedy was back then. We didn’t have cancel culture. Also, he wasn’t mimicking John Travolta. He was dressed like a character called The Fonz from a show called Happy Days.
his voice was always like that. hearing opie and anthony mess with him over the phone was the greatest moments ive ever had driving my car.
That was freakin awesome!!!!
😅 when things were normal
He was the first comedian to ever sell out Madison Square Garden.
Thats his break out show. He had multiple characters but only Dice Man worked, so thats his character. I think he could do Elvis impression singing as well.
I would watch this with my old man . Laugh are asses off. Then go outside and spend the rest of the day racing dirt bikes. Man do I miss that…….
As someone who was about 20 when this came out its funny to see people your age react. I can tell part of you wants to really laugh and part of you is worried about the offensive language and seem to be holding back.. or maybe this generation just doesnt find this kind of stuff funny.

I'm so glad I was born in the 70's. These kids today are soft.

Watching her reaction knowing it's only going to get worse
people these day don't know what true talent is..
🤗 Love the dog in the background!!😁👍🏾
Back when people were allowed to be funny.
This fuggin' guy
I met him a few times, when I worked at Ballys in Vegas during college. He was the nicest guy. It's his act.
The chick here wanted the dice man you can tell
I cannot believe you guys have a 192000 subscribers!
Wow! I guess anybody can make it on UA-cam
That’s called the “Greaser” look. It’s from the 50’s. That’s what Travolta was trying for. Funny reactions! -Terry, Canoga Park
Dental floss 🤣🤣🤣
Is the girl always such a buzzkill? She seems like the type who you have explain every scene in a movie too.
He is one of the reasons why my generation is not offended by anything hardly. That was an act he put on. I hear he is actually a completely different person in real life.
Note to people of today... Those other people were laughing all together... The F with everyone! That's what made them.
He's not going for Travolta....he's going for Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn back in the day. It's a character....an exaggerated character.
It's comedy......it's not real.
This was part of a TV special at Rodney Dangerfield’s club. It aired on one of the premium networks (HBO, Cinemax, etc.) and we recorded it on VHS. Watched it many times. Lots of funny comedians on there.
Dice’s comedy was way more shocking than any of the others. That was the point. He was playing an over-the-top character. It allowed him to say things that people thought/did but could never say themselves.
Those two were absolutely clueless watching Andrew's ice Clay
Great comedy!!! I grew up watching his show on TV.
You can see he wants to laugh but his girl is there
Dice was THE MAN!
He's neither John Travolta or Fonzie. Marlon Brando dressed like that in the 1950 film "The Wild One." It's a tough guy, biker look, over 70 years old. Guys have been imitating that since.
Fun fact: Andrew Dice Clay started out doing an act as Greased lightning John Travolta
His Al Pacino was awesome!
I was a kid when this cameout and laughed my ass off. Today? Kids have no clue whats going on and are confused all the time. Thisbis what happens when u spend every waking hour looking at your phone.
Interested watching you guys afraid to laugh. That was a different time for sure
First of all no hes not going for John Travolta. Its hilarious that you guys think that. Not even close actually
Dice was hilarious! He’s from the time when people had the self confidence to laugh at themselves and life itself without being “offended” like little bitches.
It's so funny watching the looks on snowflakes faces the first time they see the diceman
Well today's society needs to lighten up.
Hilarious , kids now days , I Went to marine corps boot camp . Try don rickles. the whole reason this society can't HANG is this video . BOOHOOO lol
*MORE* Andrew Dice Clay please :-)
You can tell the girl just doesn't get it for what it really is.
Lol. Yeah. She is so cringy. First saying hes trying to be John Travolta. Then acting confused about a Walkman. I dont think she gets any of this. Way over her head
You asked what this is....this is what comedy really is
Little boy blue, he needed the money 💰 🤣🤣🤣
Political correctness, the new way of censorship, tyranny with a happy face 😊.

Must be they style back then.... wow! 🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍

Andrew acting??? That’s how He is in real life. He was kicked off of CNN for life.
They don’t know what to think -
People would sit in the front row if his show hoping they would get picked on.
Fuck I wish I was there looked like real riot.Its cool to be part of the joke
He was in A Star is Born as Gaga’s daddy. Good actor
The good old days when comedy wasn’t illegal.
kids and people today would lose their damn minds if they watched Andrew Dice Clay....lmao
That must be an old video? I wish it was today
Comedy 80's style!!!! Love it!!
That girl had no clue….kind of sad.
You're correct. You could never get away with that now and yet he is still a legend. He even sold out Madison Square Gardens which was unbelievable for a comedian
No Hickory Dickory Dock!?!?
I knew you weren't ready for dice
