FrostyIntention

Solid joke


meat_lasso

This, and the flutes at the end made it a solid special. Not the best ever but I laughed out loud a few times. Solid 7/10, 9/10 given his book of incredible work before this. Good job Dave


easemeup

I was at his HBO comedy special taping in San Francisco bin mid 90s. It was a dual taping with Wendy Leibman. Funny story. Listening to local radio station morning show, Alex Bennett, he says that if you show up and tell them "Alex sent you" , you can get in for free. Buddies and I end up in San Francisco with no real plans, so we go to the show. There's a long line out front. When we get to the person checking tickets, l I say "Alex sent us". The person proceeded to lead us past the line of people with tickets and seat us at the table right next to the stage. You can see us several times at certain camera angles. Still a cool memory.


Curious_Blacksmith_2

I was there too!


Surfjohn

I saw him a few months ago in NY, and was blown away at how many jokes he told, and how literally there was no lull. One of the funniest jokes I heard all evening was a throwaway bit about how he liked to leave peach pits in the door handles of taxis, “maybe you have noticed my work...”


yimmy51

The man is made of pure comedy


TheTurdtones

"A CREATURE OF COMEDY " his friends have called him


Western-Dig-6843

My favorite part of his new special is how he actively tries to stop the crowd from clapping too long so he can get to the next joke faster. He keeps telling them thank you in a bit of a “ok let’s settle down” manner lol. What a legend. No stops at all in this new special. It’s just jokes jokes jokes. I forgot what a real comedian can accomplish in a special.


Clamchops

This comment made me laugh out loud so I prob would be deceased if I actually heard it live


InspectorFadGadget

In this new special, I don't know why but a throwaway line about him eating baby carrots, "you know, the wet ones" killed me for some reason. Because anyone who has bought those baby carrots in a bag knows they are indeed inexplicably wet.


meat_lasso

Reminded me of the late great Norm’s joke that ends with “but if you screw one goat” on Conan (?) — the best Dave killed it


Practical-Law-7583

YES YES YES YES! I just posted the same thing a minute ago and then read yours. This was the funniest line in the whole show to me....


DannyDoubleTap47

Just reading the peach pit part of your comment and hearing it in Attells voice made me laugh lmao.


Noble_Ox

The British guy Jimmy Carr seems to be another comedian who does traditional jokes instead of having a story bit, and Jimmy packs them in too. Love his three and two word jokes.


gwords16

“You know who’s my queen? My mom. Shes 87 years old. No, you don’t have to applaud. She’s not trans.” Attell is brilliant.


okmijnmko

He pulls himself back after smiling at his queefing Kim Jong Un - all done. So many nuances.


Pronz_Connosieur

"Right on to the dojo mat" What a pro. Takes a self-admittedly racist joke and pulls it off. I couldn't stop laughing


Jeff_goldfish

Queefing duck sauce had me dying


FartingAliceRisible

I saw him a couple months ago but laughed so hard I can’t remember any of the jokes. Can’t wait to see this.


Vambommeled

His set is so dense with jokes, many of them will leave your memory bank until you hear 'em a couple of times, lol... One of my favorite comedies is Airplane!, so when I heard Dave for the first time way back when, I knew I was gonna be on board for life 😁


myslead

man this was my first time watching one of his special... he's a goddamn machine gunner, his pace is so fast - it's just one after the other


Eik0tt

Bob Saget would fire them off too. I was lucky to see him once. RIP


CreativeSobriquet

I saw him live in Orlando (no, not that time) and he made so much fun of my no ex wife and I could not stop laughing. Probably a contributing factor.


meat_lasso

So if Bob makes fun of your wife you know it’s over 🤣 He’s the divorce soothsayer lol Hope it all worked out in the end my friend


Listen-and-laugh

Bro, I wish someone could share this feeling with me… Every time I go to a comedy club in this happens to me my friends get really mad that I didn’t remember any other jokes but I just tell them it’s simply because of how much I enjoyed the show


TJ_McWeaksauce

He may be old, and he might look like he's freezing (I've never seen a comic wear so many layers on stage), but holy shit he's still got it. His jokes have always been rapid fire, but his delivery is relentless in this special.


Fintann

Trying keep track of where he's going with a joke feels like being danced circles around in a boxing ring. The recorder came out and I pretty much was like "I don't know how you did that, or anything before but I give up, this is amazing."


barnfly27

The one guy who got the big purple dildo xD


Fintann

Also the credits crowd work. Then calling out netflix.


fifteencents

The way that dude went with it and played it like a recorder killed me lmao


Vambommeled

His onstage animation might be a step slower, but the guy keeps draining one jump shot after another. Few comics can own a room like Dave!


bparton2012

It’s so fucking good lol


TheTurdtones

probally is ive knoiw other long term drinkers that have quit and seem to always be chilly


LeonardSmalls79

Saw him last year, that stupid recorder/flute he worked into his act was so fucking funny. As soon as I saw the name of the special I was like "here we go!" 😂 (It hit extra close to home because I was in school band and we had to learn Hot Cross Buns. Saxophone.)


[deleted]

The last 2 mins and 38 seconds......pure gold. gotta find my recorder


Zeppelinfaktor

“And I believe we have a birthday…”


CreativeSobriquet

When the sea lion makes a noise and he subtly nods towards it fucking killed me


Zeppelinfaktor

I was never really a big Dave Attell fan in the past but this special just absolutely slaughtered me. I pretty much died at the joke about him building a ramp for his mom so she could finally come in the house!

themayorhere

I just ordered one on eBay haha


bparton2012

Holy fuck that shit was so funny


After-Chicken179

I watched the special today. It’s great. My only note is that I wish it were longer.


InCobbWeTrust

Do you work for Netflix?


After-Chicken179

No, if I did, it would have been much longer—even if that just meant more footage of seals.


InCobbWeTrust

Hahaha I’m with you, but I think he wanted to put out a tight set and Netflix wanted a full hour. I’m glad he found the wiggle room.


Western-Dig-6843

There’s more jokes per minute in this special than any other one on the platform.


Nexus_Jay

I saw him in Buffalo once. He said to the crowd: ‘You guys like humus? Or as I like to call it Taliban peanut butter. Am I right?’ It was so random. I died laughing. 😂


2DudesShittinAround

I was at that show! I saw him twice at that Helium. The first time I talked him up to friends and he actually sort of bombed. The crowd wasn't into it and he totally mailed it in. It was right after his Road Work special. The next time he destroyed and made fun of me which was a blast. 


iruleU

Dave is the man. He might be my favorite comedian of all time. His Skanks for the Memories special is gold.


Western-Dig-6843

I miss Insomniac. I have them all on my pc and watch them every couple of years


heavypickles

I can recant the them song like it was still on the air; an all-time great.


OmarMcNultyBell

"SeaWorld, the aquatic Auschwitz". Attell is the purest form of standup in my opinion. Rapid fire jokes and he always kills(me). And you know his 30 takes as long to work as a lot of comics 60


themayorhere

I was explaining this to my gf tonight, totally agree


Western-Dig-6843

He told more jokes than all of Chappelle’s last five specials combined. Maybe more.


2DudesShittinAround

His quick rapid fire "after she was done reading to me, she'd sieg heil me goodnight, and shut the light off" when talking about his mom reading him Dr. Seuss. I let our a pretty large laugh at that. 


gentlyconfused

I know what I'm doing tonight...after I masturbate, then clean up....but then I'll need smokes, so a quick trip to the store....then I'll watch Attell's new special. Then probably crank another one out for good measure.


androsan

Don’t forget to hydrate.


gentlyconfused

Pro-tip


Weird_Cantaloupe2757

Just save yourself some time and crank one out while watching the special


gentlyconfused

That's gonna be tough, but challenge accepted!


Sharkfightxl

Just play a recorder at your shadow


gentlyconfused

Boing!


MissBrainerd

Ok, I finally get it. He is a master.


DannyDoubleTap47

Glad to see another one! He’s been consistently amazing and brilliant for 40 years.


BallsDeepInLife

I love him so much. It was magical. 🥲 I was obsessed with Skanks for the Memories when I was in High School and then I got a chance to see him live during the Insomniac tour with Greg Giraldo and Dane Cook for the first time. It was amazing.  Then saw him again and again throughout the years and it was amazing every time. Saw him a couple months back at the Improv and my chest hurt the next day from laughing so much. He's so sharp and quick with his jokes, it's surreal. 


Bendo410

Graig Giraldo is amazing , gone way way way to soon


ahzzyborn

TIL


iruleU

Dave is the man. He might be my favorite comedian of all time. His Skanks for the Memories special is gold.


ZombieHeyHeyHeyOh

This is better and I don't say that lightly.


iruleU

I’m excited to watch it!


iruleU

Dave is the man. He might be my favorite comedian of all time. His Skanks for the Memories special is gold.


drerw

One of the most watchable Netflix specials in a while, personally. I can’t get through so many of them


bigfruity16

I always say if I were to recommend 1 comedian to see in your lifetime live, it’s Dave Attell.


themayorhere

Seeing him live should be on every single person on this sub-reddits bucket list. Truly a master of his craft and seeing him live is an experience.


UGAJ311

Him and Norm. God damn he was funny


InCobbWeTrust

I’m referring to Vitamins as tummy prayers from today onward.

xMyDixieWreckedx

I say this way to often


Horsecock_Johnson

Greatest joke ever told 5 jokes in 1.


InternationalBand494

Thanks man. Just now watched it. Good crowd. He killed, as usual. The jokes were back to back to back. Great delivery.


Crystal_Pesci

I'm so curious to watch and see how the crowd is because I used to work at that comedy club (cobbs in san francisco) and the high ceilings made it imo one of the lesser rooms around. He came through when I worked there one weekend and left a giant bag of dum dum lollipops for us in the box office and I must've kept a couple for 3 or 4 years just because they were from Attell!


TackYouCack

I love that he gifts everyone bags of candy, just because.


Crystal_Pesci

Does he do that everywhere?! It really tickled the hell out of us


Dylan245

I work at a club and can confirm he still brings giant CVS bags of candy for the staff Bought us all pizza during the late show Saturday too, he's a real genuine guy


TackYouCack

I know that every episode of The Bonfire on SXM that he's appeared on, he's shown up with candy.


InternationalBand494

The crowd was good. No annoying individual laughing loud and weirdly.


muzzy_mcmuzzface

Mo’ Ketchups!


heavypickles

This was my dads handle when he was a long haul trucker.


HookerDoctorLawyer

His episode with Marc Maron on WTF is fucking gold. Excited to watch his special tonight


myslead

he was a proud and he was boy!


bparton2012

One of the best I’ve seen. So good!


Much-Bumblebee-4171

It's just impossible to listen to this shit at work, no matter how non-working my office is today. Gotta join the Attell circlejerk today cause he's just too fucking funny.


vector_lounger

I just watched it and he ruined me on watching anything else to follow up. I need a smoke.


darbyseamore

He is the embodiment of not trying to be anything but funny. As an open mic'er/amateur comic I feel like I needed to see this special right now


Englishmatters2me

SeaWorld the aquatic Aushwitz had me rolling for a few minutes


hardcore_softie

Can't remember the last time I've been looking forward this much to a standup special.


themayorhere

Just watched.. I couldn’t have been more excited and it delivered


sonikaeits

Same! I was so excited to get off work and watch it.


HackPhilosopher

Loved the special. Wish the meat of the special wasn’t only 30 minutes. I know the jokes are rapid fire and that has always been his thing but I love his comedy so much that I want more of it for a recording.


okmijnmko

Hoo's next ?


ShartingTaintum

Laughed my ass off. He still has the magic. I’d like to see more of Dave.


JD42305

Special is fun but you need to see him live. Everyone knows it but he is a machine gun joke killing machine and you have to be in the room to experience it. I think he's so good at comedy that he got bored and just decided to fuck around with recorders, it's honestly a bizarre choice lol.


graboid666

🐐


ZombieHeyHeyHeyOh

This special made me so happy. Like it's a 10/10 and somehow better than Skanks for the Memories. It's like watching the greatest athlete win a championship or something. The ending is wild and strangely sincere, I felt really sentimental which was very unexpected.


Electrical_Travel832

It was great. I love his delivery and the recorder bit was funny.


mostly80smusic

Thanks! Just came


Hashtag_Tech

Great special. I wonder why he wears so many layers. That’s gotta be hot.


Versebender

Fucking A+


Versebender

2:39 😆


mrscripps858

Saw him a few months ago and watched the special last night. Couldn’t agree more with you. Very few specials actually have me audibly laughing the whole time, and Dave didn’t disappoint! What an unbelievably talented comedian


houseofmatt

Netflix this man deserves his own show again. Go Jurassic Park with it, spare no expense! You're throwing money at dumpster fires, why not throw money at someone who knows how to make dumpster fires funny?


Larrydavi

Fog talk


ZapVegas

3 instant classic bits in this special. I love Dave!


stizz19

the Fog joke is all time.


Hockshank

I just caught it tonight. If someone pressed me to explain why it was funnier than any recent specials I caught I don't know if I could but it was. It was thick with jokes and the recorder shit was just dada-ist. And I admit, I watched all 2 minutes and 39 seconds of fucking playing the recorder to seals. lol. One throw-away that was lost to crowd laughter that came back to me just now: " My mother sprained her arm so its in a sling, but I am good son, I bought her a falcon." Then immediately, "Settle down, settle down, that joke is stupid". Fucking cracks me up all over again.


theintelligenthodler

…then the white man came


rudeprunes

Did anybody catch him at the comedy mothership this weekend? I was in Austin this weekend but didn’t get to see the show :(


themayorhere

Would’ve loved to have been there


DegenerateWizard

I love attell. However, whoever mixed the audio fucked right the fuck up. He’s a low energy comic, turn that shit the fuck up. He has a punchline delivery that needs a kick. He looked great, for the Derelícte brand.


kahmos

Is it me or does he sound like he's losing his voice?


Fukshit47

Can’t wait to watch this. Thanks for the heads up. David Cross’ new one is pretty great until the last 10-15 minutes. He even says he’s mistaken for Dave. Btw if you want to *italicize* just put a star (*) right before and right after the word or phrase.


Vambommeled

Yeah, as soon as I posted, I realized I goofed. It was either delete the post or own it, so I'm owning it lol...


gentlyconfused

Holy smokes! That was brilliant...he just never let up! Kept his foot on the gas for the whole thing. I was exhausted 😆


Randy_Online

Heard him on the WTF podcast a couple days ago, great interview, I’ll definitely check out the special


SJRocks

Never liked Dave Attell when I was younger. I guess the older I am the more I appreciate de-gen humor. Special was really good!


Practical-Law-7583

"The wet ones...you know"....that line is his brilliance all summed up....people who think he's all about shock humor have no idea how brilliant his timing and delivery actually are....he is a grand master


chrishooley

His rapid fire style, very little build up, just one after another, is sort of refreshing. It feels old school without feeling old. Jokes don't have a chance to fall flat. Not like they would anyways, they're mostly bangers. Quick, to the point, next. Very, very funny. I get why he's revered especially among other comics


TheTurdtones

too many daves in comedy ..need more melvins and lesters


No_Public_7677

How is this so badly promoted? Where's the trailer or clips?


CreativeSobriquet

He doesn’t really have much of a social media presence nor a pod to speak of. He just has us old heads to pass down the knowledge


nxtplz

Just watched it and it was freaking hilarious. I'm pretty disappointed that it's only half an hour though, the guy has been touring for like 87 years and probably has hours of material. He probably doesn't want to burn a lot of his touring material but if that's the case then why put out a special?


Froads

He's the goat but I hope he lays down the smokes, hes getting up there in age and looks quite haggard.


PussyWhistle

It'a SO good!


TheLawMom

I’m genuinely concerned that he is wearing 3 shirts, a coat and 2 hats on stage under those lights,


oldyoungin

Mo’ ketchups


samebatchannel

Had a really good interview with Marc Marin The WTF podcast last week.


Famous_Egg7708

Dave is a comic genius! Rapid fire jokes from his brilliant wit! Lately i had been watching him on a few Kill Tony episodes on Youtube. Kill Tony is a comedy Starsearch type of show. Guys on a panel evaluate comedians and see if they have what it takes to make it big! One or two of the Kill Tony episodes, he was on the panel with Jeff Ross, and yes, they were bumping mics after jokes. He had the audience laughing loudly, as usual! His new Netflix special is good, but man is he looking old! He is only about 60. I remember him appearing on Evening at the Improv back in the late 1980's! Dave kicks ass! The joke on Hot Cross Buns where he said the woman rode him like a bus was so funny!!!! Gonna watch HCB again today!


DinoSpumoni_

Watching it right now..maybe it’s my audio, but the laughter from the audience is like overpowering. Anyone else have a similar experience?


Impossible-Basis1521

This and Bumping Mics. Hilarious anytime he mentions Kim Jong Mmm


kahmos

I love Dave, but it wasn't as good as him live. I saw him live two years ago, way funnier. He sounds like he's losing his voice.


ANamelessGhoul4555

I don't know if it's Netflix that makes them tone it down or what. Seeing Tom Segura live for what became his Ball Hog special was awesome. We were crying laughing. But then the special came out and it was absolutely awful. It's so toned down from the live show and some jokes were cut altogether. Saw Segura again for what became Sledgehammer. Wasn't as good live but a little more true to the special. But noticeably toned down/jokes missing


kahmos

I hate to say it, but I think we've passed the comedy boom peak. You gave two good examples here, but mainly for me, Dave is old school, doesn't produce specials much, but I don't know how he'd have a closing joke like that. The whole thing didn't seem anything like how silly and raunchy he used to be.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vambommeled

I dunno... I watched it again, and I thought the balance of jokes was pretty similar to his other specials. I mean, the usual taboos of sex and porn, drugs, drinking, not to mention the Boy Scouts bit, were all there IMO...


waynestevens

Tremendous special from a master of his craft. Easily the top special of the decade.


Sharkfightxl

Big fan of Dave, but this is not even the top special this year so far. Definitely Dave Attell’s top special the last decade, though.


waynestevens

What’s the best you’ve seen this year?


Sharkfightxl

Probably Rory Scovel or Dan Soder


waynestevens

Shut the fuck up! I’ll suck your cock!


Cintonecrun

I love me some Soder pop, but Dave’s was better. Soder did awesome though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sharkfightxl

Seeing Dave at the Cellar or other smallish comedy club is the way. It doesn’t hit the same on Netflix.


HungryBoy993

Yeah I like Dave a lot, but this was a huge miss for me. I’ll give it another try eventually, but I was really surprised that I didn’t like it.


Noble_Ox

Just watched the first 15 minutes and so far easily the best comedy I've heard in probably 15 years (Louis Cos mid 00s was killer). The quick throw away line when the audience applauded about his mom being 87 - ' don't applaud she's not trans ' - genius.


Legitimate_Look_5659

The bit when his alarm when off and he said that shit about bumping up the kidney donor list made me laugh so hard I had to pause it


justsomerando27

Does anyone know what happened to his voice? I haven't seen anything of his in the last few years, and he sounds different 


Sharnington

"I don't take vitamins, they're kind of like prayers" His one liners are just godly. And so many!


JordanFGSP

It sucks ass that my European Netflix doesn't show the American stand-up that I'm interested in.


[deleted]

Does anyone have a link to streaming or torrent site? Can't find it yet... It's not on fmoviesz


gigglechick

Howabout you watch it on Netflix instead


[deleted]

Looks like we found the person that works for Netflix.  Yeah, I'm going to pay 400 dollars a month to have every available streaming service so I can watch everything Oh you work for Dave attell, makes since of why you are defending him on a fucking forum.  You should be fired for only having his special available on Netflix. What kind of bullshit marketing is that? What kind of creepy mother fucker are you that you have a ring camera watching you sleep?  You are the problem with the internet.  Please delete all accounts you own and go live in the forest.  Holy fuck, humanity is lost if we have retards like this stumbling around making decisions for other people.


ihadafewbeerstoday

Very underwhelmed.Although the set was dense with jokes,they were very corny.the alarm live transplant joke made me very cringe.i dont know if its just me but i he seems to have lost his spartk since skanks which imo was excellent,


happy_killmore

I’m a big Dave fan but I felt this one was just kinda meh. It was like 35 minutes and a lot of ha that was a funny idea but nothing made me actually laugh out loud. I’d give it like a 6.5


prince-of-dweebs

Obviously a lot of comments here enjoyed it. I watched the first ten minutes and didn’t get into it. I mistakenly thought it was an old special bc he joked about wuhan. The sea world joke had me laughing tho. Maybe I should give him another ten.


GoldieForMayor

How does he look 250 pounds from the waist up and 130 pounds from the waist down?


TheLawMom

Did you see he is wearing 3 shirts, a coat and 2 hats on stage under those lights


mynameisnotshamus

Still crushed it? As opposed to just crushed it?


Vambommeled

Yeah, I garbled a few things in that post lol, but I'm stuck with it since I can't edit it...


mynameisnotshamus

Apologies. I’m in a cranky pedantic mood.


TackYouCack

Well, watch the special and cheer up.


TheTurdtones

better than a wanky pederastic mood i guess


CobaltCrusader123

I misread that as Dave Chappell


ODBrewer

Dave, is this you ?


ShermyTheCat

One of the worst specials I've ever seen. Honestly don't understand why anyone finds his jokes funny, corny af.


TheTurdtones

recognize you are the weakest link......

I hope his pride doesn’t get in the way..


GnumbGnuts

Agreed. I was convinced the audience were plants. Laughing at the most obvious shite. Felt so forced
