Yeah. This was 38 years ago. Steven Wright is a legend and has been at this a long time. Mitch Hedberg had this style of non-sequitor type of humor as well, but addiction got him young.
I saw him in Chicago in the late '80s. About 2 minutes in he said "I just remembered I'm not supposed to talk to strangers" and walked off stage. For the next few seconds he kept poking his head out from behind the curtain. I never heard an audience laugh so hard.
I performed at an open mic at a Boston comedy club in the 80's with Lenny Clarke, Steve Sweeney & Kevin Meaney. The MC was Jimmie Tingle. Real high caliber comedians all. Out walks Steven Wright real mopey & says "I'm so tired that I probably should have stayed home tonight. I spent most of the day putting in a skylight at my place..... The lady who lives upstairs is really pissed off." He just killed the whole room!!
-I picked up a hitchhiker. After climbing in my car he said, "you are brave, what if I am a serial killer"? I replied, "Ridiculous, what are the odds, two would be in the same car"?
Steve Wright was touring years ago when he was scheduled to do stand up at a local club in my hometown. I had Reservations. But I went anyway. He's been one of my all time favourites since.

How funny that back then he could make a joke revolving about the Rolling Stones still doing it, and here we are 38 years later, and they are still doing it.
Yes, great point. when he made the joke the Stones were only together 21 years--though back then, that seemed like forever. It's been now 40 years since he made the joke and even They Might Be Giants have been together for 41 years!
You know a guy is funny when you rewind a video a bit to hear something you missed, and you go back too far and hear a joke you heard already, and you _laugh a second time_
He made a joke about kicking a dead baby at the beach. When we all laughed he looked surprised. Then he said, let it be known that Nashua, New Hampshire thinks it's funny to kick babies at Hampton Beach.
"I woke up this morning and discovered that everything in my apartment had been stolen and replaced with an exact replica. I told my wife, "Isn't this amazing?" She said, "Do I know you?""
I saw this live when he first performed this on SNL. I was of course, much younger then. And it never occurred to me until just now, with that last joke, why it was really funny. In case you didn’t get it, now that Stephen said he remembered the guy, technically, he wasn’t a total stranger, so now the guy couldn’t push him off the Ferris wheel. I missed that the first time.
You know that feeling you get when you're leaning back on a chair,and youre just about to fall but you catch yourself at the last second.....I feel like that aaalll the time.
The ski-lift / ferris wheel joke - this guy is so inventive. I used to fly a lot and saw Steven on the plane. When we landed I told him I couldn't figure out how he didn't get blown off.
Wow, this is the earliest Steven Wright clip I've ever seen. I listened to "I Have a Pony" so much during the late '80s/early '90s I can still complete almost every one of these jokes from memory as soon as he starts it.
@@jennifersman7990 no, Carson was his debut. That appearance is what kicked off the Boston comedy scene. Before that the talk shows got all their comedians from New York or LA, they didn't check other cities. The booker heard about this comic in Boston named Lenny Clarke and flew to see him. Steven was on the same bill and ended up getting picked for the show first. Gradually all the other comics got picked up by the shows and Boston quickly became the place to go for comedy. Colin Quinn moved from New York to Boston to get noticed. There's a great documentary about it called When Stand Up Stood Out
Steve was a regular at a club where I did sound back in the 80s. He is not much different when off stage. A prime example of the huge amount of comedic talent that came out of Boston back then.
Steven Wright was ahead of his time. But then I realized my watch stopped! Thanx Steven for the decades of laughter and now I'd like to say piss-off for making my incontinence so much worse!🤩
I loved _Rutles: All You Need Is Cash_ . While filming segments in New York, Eric Idle got Mick Jagger to talk shade about the Beatles ... er, Rutles. Really evil.
A rare breed of comedian who doesn’t feel the need to swear all the time, savagely pick on audience members, or tell offensive jokes. It’s a relentless set of well-crafted and supremely delivered jokes.
He has the Salvadore Dali equivalent in humor and perspective. It's endlessly entertaining. It actually physically hurts that he doesn't have endless amounts of this quality of jokes. He did some of his best jokes up there. My incredibly cool Grandmother used to play Steven Wright for me when I was 5-8 yrs old on weekends when I'd visit her. I loved him then so much and still do.
@@Menibor1 if you think his humor is lame you need to see a better commedian lmao. That's what makes the humor so damn funny because its dry as hell which is combined with his monotone delivery of it.
@@cindeamulholland6338 HA! 😀 It sounds like you do what I do: I post my comments BEFORE reading other people's comments so I'm not influenced by what they post. It's nice to know that people with a good sense of humor have been placed on planet Earth at the same time!
My personal favorite: I accidently sprayed spot remover on my dog and he disappeared.... You know a guy is funny when all he says is "I went skiing in England" and the crowd laughs ... not because that is a funny line, but just the anticipation of knowing that whatever comes out of his mouth next WILL be some extremely funny/witty line that makes you think 'why didn't I ever think of that'
"I went skiing in England" is a pretty funny line. England is not known for its mountains - if you're going to fly overseas to Europe to ski, why not go to the alps?
Here's one of my favorite Steven Wright jokes. --> So this morning my girlfriend asked me if I slept well. I said to her: "No. I made a couple of mistakes."
This aired on my tenth birthday. Most bizarre is that this man is the one professional comic I have ever seen live. Valley Forge Music Fair outside of Philly. Sometime in the 80's.
I always wanted to send him a joke I made up: "My kid got into our medicine cabinet and saw a small box that said 'Glass Eye Cup', and he ran into the room and said "Who has a glass eye?"
You'd have to be able to get dry humor to enjoy Steven Wright. It isn't for everybody. People who enjoy the type of humor like in Airplane and the Naked Gun movies would get him. Regardless if someone finds him funny or not, he's done well enough to make a living, and live comfortably. And that's all I really matters.

Never ceases to amaze me how every so often we get a comedian like this that has found a whole new approach/style/thinking. Its really quite amazing.
How I feel also. Great thought

I have always believed that Steven Wright has never been given the recognition he deserves! He is a Class Act!
Well, he's been working for almost 4 decades and only released 2 albums. I don't know why he doesn't record more stuff.
So true DAVID. . LOVE THAT STYLE. Im doing a rally next week. MIMES LIVES COUNT. I THINK THERE FACES SHOULD B HERD.
But he's just One Soldier.
You are so Wright!
He’s not that funny that’s why
His best line, I went to visit a psychic, I knocked on the door, she said who’s there? I left.
I spilled spot remover on my dog, now he's gone
I went to the store & bought some powered water but I didn’t know what to add.
Went the store and bought batteries, they weren't included.

Very True. Slowly but surely. At first people are sort of perplexed by him but they eventually catch on.
His jokes also rise in the imagination required to get them.

I laugh at his delivery., Very dry, very witty.

I'm convinced Steven Wright lives in some sort of dream world and makes a living telling quick stories from that realm.
It's adjacent to the world of "Adventure Time". It's called "Borrowed Time", only...the person who they borrowed it from...wanted it back.

He made a joke about kicking a dead baby at the beach. When we all laughed he looked surprised. Then he said, let it be known that Nashua, New Hampshire thinks it's funny to kick babies at Hampton Beach.
My favorite joke from him, "I tried to hang myself with a bungee cord....i kept almost dieing..."
My favorite joke of his is, ".... The other day I was..... Oh no, that wasn't me"
