I had a similar experience to this when I was 11, visiting the Stanley Park Zoo in Vancouver with my parents. We were watching the polar bears along with a large crowd. This was in the summer, in the lower part of Canada, a climate foreign to polar bears, a species used to roaming for miles and not used to captivity. One of the bears turned his ass to the crowd and took a huge dump. I thought it was hilarious,but it stuck with me because I realized the bear was giving the audience the finger.
Because you were high. I was definitely high when I first saw this in the 90's. I am surprised that I remembered the details as well as I did. I was telling my son about this story and looked it up. Thanks for the laughs.
Unlike a lot of comedians, however this is because all of his bits are based on the premise of opening his audience's eyes. This is most often done by him employing an elaborate anecdote or simple truth that leads up to the gut-bursting and revealing truth.
If none of you like David Cross, why did you go to the effort of typing his name on the youtube search bar and leaving a negative comment on his video? I don't know about you, but I think youtube works when you search for people you DO like.
Tampa is one of the shittiest places in the universe. There ain't shit to do there and every corner either has a strip joint, subway sandwich shop or a XXX video store. I got offered a job there last year and passed on it after a month long trail run.
On my test papers for gcse they had some number that was something like 6/6/6 on it on joke. I don't know if this code was on all the papers but it was on every one of mine
Hence, "his bits are based on the premise of opening his audience's eyes." I know not what he is most interested, nor would I assume that you do either. I can say for sure that he does indeed seem--at least to an audience--to be interested in both making us laugh while broadening our perspectives as well.
I’m sorry but Tampa is the shit..if it sucks so bad then why do so many people move here?? Because everyday is a vacation an you can live in any type of area you desire..
@LooneyM3 Arrested Development. Buy all the of the seasons on DVD for yourself and everyone you know, watch it all 3 times in a row (because you will miss a lot of the jokes the first time around), then come back here and thank me.
@CitySkin09 you missed half the joke. "A Jewish kid goes up to his father and asks for $5. His father says $4? What do you need $3 for? Here's $2, give a dollar to your brother."
No, It's David Cross. He has been David Cross since he has been alive. He is from Roswell, GA. He is a comedian, best known for his "stand-up" and "Mr. Show with Bob and David" It was on HBO in the 90's.
yeah, I live in jacksonville, fl. I've traveled to tampa a good couple of times since I've moved. I whole heartedly agree w/David Cross about Tampa, there isn't shit to do there. Boring as fuck.
Sorry, dude. Funny is funny, and that made me laugh. From the way you put it, it sure sounded like you were implying that Tampa's a hellhole compared to Jax. Don't take it personally.
TAMPA, the worst place in the world, where there is nothing to do...so...we went to Bush Gardens...uh...bro...we don’t have a stop light in our town. I would have to drive 20 minutes to even find a Walmart. Oh...and it snows 8 months a year. When it is hot, it’s 90 with 100 degree humidity. So.....
@benjaminpaige I saw an interview where he tried to justify it. He acknowledged that it was a sellout, but said that it paid basically more than anything else he's ever done combined, and it's allowed him to be in a position financially that he can pick and choose what work he takes now.. In unrelated news, David Cross to star in Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 through 14... In his defense, it's a children's show, and there is no such thing as an "indie" kids show. Why would you watch it anyways?
@halfeatenface Thanks! I am watching some of them right now and they're just hilarious. I thought he was funny before (ie. arrested development) I just wasn't into this clip.
yeah, that's what I've heard. and dead on about florida . I'm hoping that my music career will do better when I move out to the west, as there is a far more lucrative music scene out there. sorry bout the nambla joke, after looking at the comment it didn't go over well. I had Zach Galafinakis' joke in mind about how it's hard to get a table for one at chucky cheese's (purple onion dvd). I'm sure I'll be annoyed by the different set of problems out there but I'll sure be glad to leave the south.
A Jewish kid goes up to his father and hits him up for fifty dollars. The dad said "Forty dollars?! Are you outta your mind? What are you gonna do with thirty dollars?"
Your name is 1991stacy, which means you are too young to have lived in the days when people had a real sense of humor. However, this is definitely not David Cross' best work, and I don't blame you for not liking it. You should look up "Mr. Show", that's where most people heard of him (and its epically funny).
the entire logistics of this joke are based on delivery and strategic english composition.. He is a pro with using semi intelligent story frame up until the punchline.. where here he delivers with an flawless slue of adjectives of the elephants pussy.. that right there is the climax. then he settles the joke down but still shakes you with a conclusion to wrap the story up
Am I retarded for personally making the decision to not watch a 6 minute UA-cam video and then sarcastically using an internet colloquialism to explain why not? Yes, I guess I am retarded.
David Cross was born looking middle aged
That likely explains his general serenity towards the world.
Open flannel shirt, ripped jeans, this is from the nineties all-right!
That was my closet for all my highschool years.
yoshimickster he’s wearing the exact same outfit in his new stuff
I like David Cross. I think he's funny. He's f*#king hysterical on Arrested Development.
i love david cross voice...
its soft.
I had a similar experience to this when I was 11, visiting the Stanley Park Zoo in Vancouver with my parents. We were watching the polar bears along with a large crowd.

In fairness, it seems that, in fact, it really gave a crap.
@@mulemule All the world's a stage.
David Cross is a great stand up comic
I live in Tampa... Everything he said about the city is absolutely true haha
one of my favorite recorded bits of his
David Cross should play Elton John in a biopic! OMG
Why don't I remember this?
Because you are stupid.
Because you were high. I was definitely high when I first saw this in the 90's. I am surprised that I remembered the details as well as I did. I was telling my son about this story and looked it up. Thanks for the laughs.
Ur David Cross, *the* OG too much funny memories!
sheriff Bull Conner would of been happy haha what an obscure reference.David rocks,
This is similar to "The Aristocrats;" the joke isn't the punch line, it's the telling of the tale.
i waiting on Raleigh Fingers a couple times at Red Robin(terrible company, don't eat there) in Las Vegas. Bad Tipper.
What a gem to be able to have experienced that, high on top of that. That's a hard story to top.
Unlike a lot of comedians, however this is because all of his bits are based on the premise of opening his audience's eyes. This is most often done by him employing an elaborate anecdote or simple truth that leads up to the gut-bursting and revealing truth.
Well thank you random citizen. And I was born this awesome, so its impossible to not be this awesome
Paton Oswald concurs with your florida sentiment.
thank you david.
Said a man who had never heard of Dane Cook, Larry the Cable Guy, or Daniel Tosh.
"That's nice," said a man who envied his good fortune.
If none of you like David Cross, why did you go to the effort of typing his name on the youtube search bar and leaving a negative comment on his video? I don't know about you, but I think youtube works when you search for people you DO like.
Game Griffin it came in my queue because I’m a fan of comedy. But this was not very funny . I hope Davis cross’ comedy has evolved since this
Same. I was watching something else and it autoplayed.
Tampa is one of the shittiest places in the universe. There ain't shit to do there and every corner either has a strip joint, subway sandwich shop or a XXX video store. I got offered a job there last year and passed on it after a month long trail run.
what is this show, can you get it on dvd or anything anywhere?
Yeah I suppose you're right. You really got me good.
I'm from Tampa and he's not wrong, its the toilet of America
What stand-up special is this from? I can find the whole thing anywhere.
tampa bay shout out! I think there's more things to do now though
Not really
the way he described Tampa, its more like the best place in the world, weed would grow nice there !
most awesome.! great job.! man i got one....i guess i gotta make a video now....hmmm...it was DAMN funny.
+the people drive either 20 mph below the speed limit, or 20mph above.
as someone who had the miss fortune to grow up in tampa i can say with 100 percent certainty that old people are very slow
he pretty much explained the story in 3 words: he was high
Gob gave you a forget-me-now pill.
On my test papers for gcse they had some number that was something like 6/6/6 on it on joke. I don't know if this code was on all the papers but it was on every one of mine
Y'know that thing they say about elephants never forgetting?
You're welcome.
And you sir, are the bess spellir evar
lol, I go to school there hahaha!! sooo true!
Hence, "his bits are based on the premise of opening his audience's eyes." I know not what he is most interested, nor would I assume that you do either. I can say for sure that he does indeed seem--at least to an audience--to be interested in both making us laugh while broadening our perspectives as well.
Thumbs up if you're here from the Zach Woods podcast episode.
so young in this
Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot Pie!
Bad grammar is always funny to see, but when a video title is botched it`s extra special.
Kudos, dingus.
@Metalip blue?
I’m sorry but Tampa is the shit..if it sucks so bad then why do so many people move here?? Because everyday is a vacation an you can live in any type of area you desire..
Todd Margaret Rules!
@samurai1833 -- I know, that joke just came outta nowhere!
@CitySkin09
joke goes: "forty dollars? what do you need thirty dollars for? listen, if i had 20 dollars, id give you ten, so here's five".
Fuckin 90's man
And btw Portland's awesome. Good on you.
I think if he told the same joke today and established that they were high from the beginning... this would be a lot funnier
yes.
@LooneyM3 Arrested Development. Buy all the of the seasons on DVD for yourself and everyone you know, watch it all 3 times in a row (because you will miss a lot of the jokes the first time around), then come back here and thank me.
@CitySkin09 you missed half the joke. "A Jewish kid goes up to his father and asks for $5. His father says $4? What do you need $3 for? Here's $2, give a dollar to your brother."
It appears someone hasn't been to Tampa Bay...
This WAS the funniest thing I have ever seen... David Cross trying to tell an elaborate joke.
@Adam67890 unlike alot of american comedians, i think you'll find that this style is very simaler to almost every british comedian
Ian from Alvin and the Chipmunks
Who knew that the funniest thing was an elephant pissing on Floridians?
The portents of doom..
Agreed it's good okay David Cross but this was probably the middle of an hour show.
Yes. Yes I can.
38 people are from Tampa Bay.
OMG its tobias funke
No, It's David Cross. He has been David Cross since he has been alive. He is from Roswell, GA. He is a comedian, best known for his "stand-up" and "Mr. Show with Bob and David" It was on HBO in the 90's.
I know.
The world's first analrapist.
I'm from Tampa Bay... I agree 100%!! Tampa sucks... although Busch Gardens is pretty awesome...
Busch Gardens has gotten better since then
This is the guy who dissed Larry the cable guy for being anti intellectual?
Get over it, corn pone
@tomsaint316
not sure if troll....
@AgressoExpresso I know I don't. :)
What
He didn't kill his brother
He didn't
I only refer to david as "Tobias"
yeah, I live in jacksonville, fl. I've traveled to tampa a good couple of times since I've moved. I whole heartedly agree w/David Cross about Tampa, there isn't shit to do there. Boring as fuck.

I mean, it's understandable when it's the top comment.
@benjaminpaige I saw an interview where he tried to justify it.

Why would you watch it anyways?
@benjaminpaige WHAT THE FUUUCK DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT DANR COOK!!!!???
This is 1996...
@halfeatenface Thanks! I am watching some of them right now and they're just hilarious.
I thought he was funny before (ie. arrested development) I just wasn't into this clip.
It's all good. I know what it's like. I hope your move goes awesomely well. Meanwhile, keep breathing.
@oneirishpoet Mature.
@lethalintents wow bro, that must be exciting for you. God knows theres not A MILLION other people with that name.
And you live in Jacksonville, right? That's the funniest comment on UA-cam.
@Hurricane333 Just because we don't find him funny here doesn't mean we don't like him in general.
0:22 Truest shit ever

NEXT TO WHAT?
I always like when people mess with camels or alpacas and get spat on 😋
A Jewish kid goes up to his father and hits him up for fifty dollars. The dad said "Forty dollars?! Are you outta your mind? What are you gonna do with thirty dollars?"
Norm Macdonald? Did he say that?
Yeah, I found it a wee bit more funny than I imagined
@RealCoolFreakinGuy What do you talking about? All of the sub-jokes (Joke within a joke?) leading up to it just add to the comedy.
@oneirishpoet That doesn't even make sense... I see you share Cross' sense of humour...
chicks dig a funny dude
not his best but still entertaining. 4 stars
Your name is 1991stacy, which means you are too young to have lived in the days when people had a real sense of humor.

@softan u misspelled metaphor genius
You where really high...
I didn't I'd find this here, poor elephant!
I feel like he missed a punch line at the end there.
