    Gallagher isn't really the bookkeeper, but he certainly is aware of the three things that appeal most to both bookkeepers and the Average Joe: Money, Money, and Money. No one is safe from the Mustached One's freewheeling barbs, especially not the IRS. Gallagher's comments about what you and I foolishly spend our hard-earned cash upon is also good for a few hearty yocks. But never mind all that....here comes the amazing Sledge-o-Matic!

    My aunt and uncle went to one of his shows once. They sat no where near the front so they didn't bring any protection. Here comes Gallagher up the isle with a hose, sees theme sitting there,
    "BET YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFE DIDN'T YA" and blasted them.
    I love this story.

    I saw Gallagher live 4 separate times in Jacksonville, FL (1993, 1996, 2001, and 2004). I had a blast each time.
    RIP to a truly funny comedian.

    Part of my childhood and into adolescence, teen years are going. It's sad. Gallagher was one of those comics that as a kid I grew up laughing too, but as I go a little older I LEARNED things from his comedy and then found myself agreeing with and views on things aligning. Gallagher was great, simply great. The smashing of the watermelon, etc... it's so, so... American. It could very well be SYMBOLIC. There was more to it. Perhaps we'll discover it's true meaning, or interpret his performance art into something meaningful.... OR... simply Gallagher smashed them for the hell of it! Why not!??!! Thank you Gallagher!

    6 times Ive seen him live, Im thankful. The tent in warwick, ruth ech hall in clearwater FL,CT, Exeter RI, Heck in providence RI, I remember his sledge o matics were stolen in true RI fashion. He was pissed. He smashed food with the bar stool and it was his birthday to boot! The show must go on.

    I guess its just me, but I don't find this guy that funny or entertaining. He is doing a show in my area... $25. Nobody I know is going, but i am sure he will draw a crowd. Can't see paying $25 to watch a guy smash watermelons and such for 2 hours. Maybe I haven't taken the time to watch full act and am missing something, so can anyone tell me what is so funny about smashing a watermelon or any other food?

      Watch one of his whole shows sometime. When I saw him, he did a lot of political jokes, prop gags and more. When he came to my town, some of his jokes were town-specific as in he researched the area before coming. The sledge-o-matic is only the ending and it is a satire making fun of those outrageous late night infomercial salespeople selling products which often are pretty much a joke themselves. :)

    • @OAleathaO
      @OAleathaO 8 років тому +11

      +61elle --> He doesn't smash food for his whole act...he only closes with it. It's about 10% of his act. He added it to distinguish himself from other standup comedians. He is a current events comedian and does comedic commentary on society.

      It's not the whole show. This is the end of the show. He does other stuff too.
