I was a fan year's ago of Steven Wright when he delivered this one liner. "I got up one morning, couldn't find my socks, so I called information. She said, "hello information". I said, "I can't my socks." She said, "They're behind the couch" and there they were!"
Finally! Been suggesting this with every dead pan comic. He is the inspiration for most of them.
All I see is a heroin addict trying to shoot a purple rhinoceros 🦏 with a sniper rifle while sleepily fighting Robin Williams. Is that just me?
Oh Britt!!! I've been waiting for you to discover Steven Wright!!! Do more! :)
Steven Wright was one of the funniest “clean” comedians ever
Comic GENIUS
I haven't started the video yet. Just had to say Steven Wright is one of the greats. Glad you are reacting to him. OK, now I'll enjoy.
There are sponges that are made out of man-made materials and there are natural sponges that are still sold today.
Love Steve Wright. “Have You Ever Experienced Deja Vu & Amnesia at the Same Time” 😂😂😂
I saw him back in the 80's. My favorite one liner : Everything is withing walking distance if you have the time. Truth!
I think my first exposure to Steven Wright was when he did a guest spot on Becker back in the late 90s/early 00s. He played a crazy guy who heard the voice of "Henry God" in his head, telling him to do things. As I recall, Becker medicated him so he wouldn't hear the voice anymore. Wright then stopped taking the medication, because he missed the conversations with Henry.
Love your cute laugh and your so beautiful smile Britt.Thank you for sharing this video with us your so awesome on your youtube channel Britt. 🌹❤️👍
A one liner he once said, umpteen years ago and I've never forgotten it. "My house got broken into and they stole every piece of furniture I had and replaced them with exact replicas."!!! For some reason that has stayed with me for at least the last 30 years.
I heard that one too way back then.
You missed his punchline…
“I called my friend in here and said ‘look at this, it’s all an exact replica!”
“He said …’do I know you?’ “
The one that stuck with me was accidentally using his car key to try to open the door to his home. Then it started up.
My favorite of his was... "I used to work at a place that made fire hydrants, you couldn't park anywhere near the place"
One Soldier, One Soldier, One Soldier
"One Soldier" is a black-and-white short film (30 min) from 1999 starring and directed by Steven Wright. It's my favorite b&w 'movie' ever.
Back in the 80's I was friends with this couple, A(f) and B(m). A had a brother named Stephen.
Stephen Wright was going to perform in the area, so we were talking about it one night.
A asked B, "Have you ever seen Stephen Wright?"
B answered, "No, but I've seen him try."
Steven was a local guy here in the Boston area, one of my favorite comics back in the day. I still have his album "I Have A Pony". At one point in time I had every one of those bits memorized just from listening to it so much. Great comedian!!
He goes back to the Carlin days - I wouldnt doubt they were friends and played the same clubs together. He was extremely popular.
Steven Wright is consistently my favorite comedian. My favorite line of his isn't in this compilation: "I went to the store to buy batteries....but they weren't included....so I had to buy them again." As for knowing/not knowing about my death, I think that's a very circumstantial question. I guess I could say that in most situations I'd rather not know.
Awww I was waiting for my favorite Steven Wright joke. I had dog, I named him Stay, he is in therapy "Come here Stay, Come here Stay"
I saw Steven Wright in 1985 at Philadelphia's Tower Theatre. This was soon after he released his "I Have A Pony" LP (yes, comedians used to release albums). It was the funniest concert I've ever been to. I judge this by how much my face hurt from the constant 90 minutes of jokes that had me smile and laugh. The two women I was with felt the same. We complained the next day at school that our faces still hurt but we would go again in a minute. Love SW!!!
Sponges originally came from the ocean. In Tarpon Springs, Florida (near Tampa) you can go to the docks and see the sponge diving ships. Great Greek restaurants and you can buy a real sponge in the gift shops.
Steven Wright's genius is his ability to take everyday concepts/expressions and finding a humorous meaning behind them, often just by taking them literally. An example: I went to a store that had a sign that said, Open 24 hours. When I got there, the guy was locking the door. I asked him why since the sign said it was open 24 hours, and he said, Not in a row.
Or my personal favorite: I once played poker with tarot cards. I got a full house, and four people died.
This is a rabbit hole you can really enjoy visiting. His deadpan delivery makes his humor so much funnier.
“I went to a restaurant that said ‘Breakfast Anytime’, so I ordered French Toast during the Rennisance”
Loved Steven Wright since forever. There are some compilations out there of Steven Wright vs Mitch Hedberg, pure gold.
3:38 “Do the sponges we buy at the store come from the ocean?”
I freaking died here lol
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I'd definitely want to know, cause if I suddenly find out that I'm due to die in like a year and it's set in stone, I'm gonna take out loans, quit my job, travel a bunch of places, and make sure to spend the rest of the time with people I love. And if I find out that I'm due to die at a nice old age peacefully I can just relax, and as the time draws closer make sure my affairs are in order to abscond from the mortal coil.
I took this joke as she asked because she was thinking of killing him. Hence, the 'forget it'.
Love, love, love, Steven Wright, I used to watch him a lot when I was younger, I love his dry sense of humor!
Good one, I first saw him on The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson in the eighties and was caught totally off guard with this type of deadpan humor.
I was hooked and anytime he popped up on late night TV I was tuned in. A very unique dude indeed.
The sneaking out as a fetus and the 6,000 ants dressed up as rice and robbing a Chinese restaurant, Hilarious !
Peace ❤
Steven Wright has been my favorite stand-up comedian since I first heard him back in the '80s. He bumped Rodney Dangerfield into my #2 spot, which was no easy feat... Rodney is a giant.
Genius. Been my favorite comedian since I saw him in the 80s.
Him and Mitch Hedberg. The two top dogs of one liners. Way different.
Real sponges do grow in the ocean, but they don't "absorb" water until they're dried out.
“How does he deliver these jokes in such a monotone voice?“ The answer is genius.
The last "Jewish cowboy" joke is one of my favorite jokes and the first time I heard it I think my eyes were watering I was laughing so hard. BTW, he's from Boston and I believe you can still buy natural sponges from the ocean, but 99+% of the ones you see in stores are manufactured from synthetic material. When the use of sponges first became popular many decades ago, the only ones available were the real ocean sponges and there was a big sponge harvesting industry based out of Tarpon Springs, FL.
I love steven wright, he was one of the first comedy cassettes i bought way back when.
I always heard he developed this style because his teeth were all jacked up and he was self conscious - so he never smiled or opened his mouth much to hide them. My favorite joke of his - you can’t have everything, where would you put it?
I live in the median strip of a highway. Nice grassy area, I like it there. I named my dog Stay. "Come here, Stay"
If I may: If you find yourself feeling down, just know that someone thinks you're a very pretty, and charming young lady.
You questioning the sponges makes me think of Bert Kreischer! "My kid is so stupid she makes me stupid by proxy"! Then he goes into his joke about the deaf child sign!
Love steven...one of the funniest deadpan comics...try bob nelson...definitely not deadpan but hysterical...still almost makes me laugh so hard tears run down my leg...HAHAHAHHAHAHA...jiffy jeff and the entire football team are my favorite bits...enjoy
Every time I play the harp I can't help feeling nostalgic.
Love Steven Wright! He is so so funny!!
He's the king of monotone one liners!
Massive rabbit hole for the world's great one-liners. Try the great Canadian Stewart Francis, or the brilliant Brit Milton Jones. Happy laughing Britt! 🤣
So glad you mentioned Stewart Francis. I steal his stuff all the time.
Britt.
If you call the power company and say you aren’t paying for what you can’t see, they turn off the power. This has helped electricity customers over the decades learn why that doesn’t work.
lol
There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot. Fine line indeed.
For more one-liner comedians, I second the recommendation for Stewart Francis, and also suggest Gary Delaney, though his stuff is a little more adult.
Comedians tell there jokes so many times, it becomes natural. It's when they improve is were you can see them laughing.
Damn. Missing my fave!. "I spilled spot remover on my dog and now he's gone"
"I want a tattoo over my entire body of me. But taller"
"On the other hand you have different fingers."
You can enjoy CANADIAN BACON (John Candy, Alan Alda, Rhea Perlman, Dan Aykroyd 1995, for more Steven Wright in a role).
"I called up the airline to make a reservation and the woman asked me how many would be flying. I said, how should I know, it's your plane."
The normal like yellow and green sponges you get are manmade but you can buy natural sponges. They're more expensive and somewhat irregularly shaped.
My favorite joke of his that wasn’t included here is “I bought some batteries the other day, but they weren’t included, so I had to buy them again”. 😆😆😂😂
Last year Steven Wright wrote a really good book called "Harold." I advise everyone to give it a read.
"One of my grandfathers died when he was a little boy." I've tried using that joke and nobody ever got it.
There’s two schools of thought regarding knowing how and when you’re going to die. One is that you will constantly be in fear thinking of your impending death. The other is that since you know how and when you will die that you can live in the moment of what seems like a dangerous situation but you know that you don’t die this day and you can carry on free of fear.
Sponges really do absorb water. And, originally, sponges were harvested from the ocean, They are all synthetic now.
One of the best and most original comics ever
Britt he's like the sober version of Mitch Hedberg!
To me there is a direct link between him and Anthony Jeselnik. I think Wright was a major influence on that kind of comedy.
i always thought Mitch Hedberg, but you are right about Jeselnik. the style is very similar except Jeselnik are usually more than one liner types and much more dark, but the style is so similar, had to be influenced by wright
@@bobapjok4241 mitch hedberg too. That is a fair comparison.
Some of his jokes were actually thought provoking, like the speed-of-light joke and how deep would the oceans be if there weren't sponges in them.
"You can't have everything. Where would you put it?"
My favorite comedian!
“How is he able to contain himself?” I'm pretty sure he's heard the joke before. 😂
I spilled spot remover on my dog.
And now he's gone.
I bought some used paint.
It was in the shape of a house.
I have a full size replica of the United States.
It's outside.
My favorite stand-up comic! Brilliant!
Went to a restraunt that serves breakfast anytime........ so i ordered french toast during the Renaissance
The rest of the death joke is, of course : " I already know when I'm going to die, because my birth certificate has an expiration date on it... "😁
All good comedians make you think.
“I lost a hundred dollar bill, so I put up a reward sign. Reward: $100; if found, just keep it.”
Love Steven Wright ❤️
Love Steven Wright!!
Next up: "12 minute joke" by your favorite comedian's favorite comedian. You look cute today! Norm next though!
Yes keep going down the Steven Wright rabbit hole there’s a great interview with him at five years ago on Craig Ferguson the comedian
I think my fav is. If bread always lands butter side down, and a cat always lands on it's feet. What would happen if you buttered some bread and straped it to the back of a cat and droped it. 😂😂😂
Loofahs are actual sponges that come from the ocean. most sponges are synthetic though
He’s hilarious! Good reaction.
I seen him on T.V. years ago and he didn't even crack a smile
“Wait a minute, our sponges are made…”
…technically, ALL sponges are made…
From what I have read, Steven Wright was encouraged to do standup by his college friends, because of the random comments / observations he was always making.
Just to clarify, that fine line is fishing line.
BTW, you certainly can purchase natural sponges. One of nature's little wonders.
If I could know when I was going to die, I would love it. I don't care how I'm going to die. Since we're all going to die, it's not something I'm afraid of, but if I knew when, I could better prepare for that day and know exactly when it's going to happen. I then wouldn't be too worried about all the other "small" things that could kill me before that point and would probably enjoy life a little more.
Please watch some of the Rodney Dangerfield skits especially with Johnny Carson… he was the king of 1 liners.
He never got any respect though, for some reason.
"my uncle was a weird guy... he had prosthetic arms....and real hands"
I wouldn't want to know when or how I was going to die. I would want to know where I was going to die...I wouldn't go there.
Wow, for some reason I thought he was dead. Have not seen him forever. Who could I have been thinking about?
He said..Why are there locks on the doors of 24 hr 7/11’s? ❤️🔥
And, no, I wouldn’t want to know ahead of time. With my anxiety
I would die a million times…if I was holding a person who was
mortally wounded or hurt, I would lie so hard..just so they wouldn’t
be afraid. Peace and Love from. 🇨🇦
you can get both natural--from the water--or man made sponges.
'Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time
The “fine line” is the fishing string. Lol. Just gonna leave that here
My favorite joke of his wasn't in this one!
I had a dream that a group of midgets were trying to assassinate me, so I bought a bullet proof car. But, since they were midgets I bought a convertible.
To answer your question, he comes from Boston MA.
Light always moves at the speed of light. It’s Einsteins whole relativity thing. So the light from the headlight would move away from you at the speed of light. Crazy!!!!
Where did he come from. He's one of the great Boston based comics . Actually from Burlington, Massachusetts. My home town.
Demetri Martin also has some great one-liners
You can buy natural sponges. But most are manufactured.
Another great person you should react to is James Veitch his “ Bad roommate / Ducks “ is funny
fishing one is my fave of him.
There is one reason i would want to know. If i was going to die i could determine when i could retire (or quit) working and live off the money i have saved. right now, knowing when to retire, like at 55 or 65 or whatever is a huge gamble because if you are going to live to say 90, you need a lot more money than if you were only going to live to 80 or 70 or whatever and you could end up not being able to spend all the money you saved for retirement if you are going to die sooner, or run out of money if you are going to live longer.
You always here people say stuff like "they're life was cut short right in their prime" as if that's a bad thing. If you didn't know when you were going to die, wouldn't "in your prime" be the best way? Or in your happiest stage of life? No suffering, no regrets, no sorrow, etc. sounds like the best way to me
Yes I would want to know. I have a list of people that would go half hour before me LOL
