Nice to be here. I had a good day today I went to a movie. Before the movie now they show you that presentation where they explain that you shouldn't download movies on the Internet because you're hurting all the people that work on them. They need to feed their families so you shouldn't download the movies. And I saw this and I thought, "Wow, I had no idea. I didn't know you could download movies on the Internet... I don't care about those people."
I find that when people laugh really hard, it's usually because they're connecting and identifying in a way that they hadn't considered. That's my payoff. I'm not interested in other people thinking differently. I don't care. I'm not even educated; it's something that I'm not qualified to do. I'm just like yeast-- I eat sugar and I s**t alcohol. And there's a huge culture that goes with that. Alcohol creates massive shifts in world history, and it changes people's lives. People get pregnant because of alcohol. But the yeast doesn't give a f**k. The yeast isn't going, ""I really want to help people loosen up and bring passion into Irish people's lives.""
"I'm bored" is a useless thing to say. You live in a great, big, vast world that you've seen none percent of. And even the inside of your own mind is endless. It goes on forever inwardly. Do you understand? Being the fact that you're alive is amazing, you don't get to be bored.
It doesn't have ANY effect on your life. What do you care?! People try to talk about it like it's a social issue. Like when you see someone stand up on a talk show and say, ""How am I supposed to explain to my children that to men are getting married?"" ... I dunno, it's your s**tty kid and you f**kin' tell 'em. Why is that anyone else's problem? Two guys are in love but they can't get married because you don't want to talk to your ugly child for five f**kin' minutes?
It's like Platoon. You've got all this f**king stuff; you have an impossible amount of s**t to carry, and usually, a kid sometimes too. And I see parents all over the place with skinny little ankles and, you know, with no particular features and they just, life's worn them down to a basic like human shape, you know. Their personality and whatever they, the lines in their face and the chiseling is gone. They're just this thing and it's like ant strength, and you just have to, you just have to do it to get through whatever f**king, you know, we've got to get from here to there. And she didn't want to be here any more, and she has to go to the bathroom, and I've got a stroller.
I really think it's crazy that we hit our kids. It really is. Here's the crazy part about it. inds are the only people in the world that you're allowed to hit. Do you realize that? They're the most vulnerable and they're the most destroyed by being hit, but it's totally OK to hit them. And they're the only ones! If you hit a dog, they f**king will put you in jail for that s**t.
You're all gonna die. Then you'll be dead for way longer than you're alive, like that's mostly what you're ever gonna be. You're just dead people that didn't die yet.
You've got to be optimistic to be single. Stupid. You have to be stupid. That's what optimistic means, you know. It means stupid. An optimist is someone who goes, ""Hey, maybe something nice will happen!"" Why the f**k would anything nice ever happen?!? What are you stupid?!?
We have white people problems in America. That's what we have, white people problems. You know what that is? That's where your life is amazing, do you just make s**t up to be upset about. People in other countries have real problems. Like, ""Oh, s**t. They're cutting off all our heads today."" Things like that. Here, we make s**t up to be upset about. Like, ""How come I have to choose a language on the ATM machine? It's bulls**t. I shouldn't have to do that. I'm American.""
I was at the airport with my kids, I was at JFK, and they had to go to the bathroom and I had to go to the bathroom. So take yourself through that logically. Where do I… What do I do? I can't take them to the ladies room. I can't just... "Go on in there, girls... Into the public restroom of an international airport." Just release my custody of them to whoever's in there. "Go ahead, good luck to you. Maybe I'll see you later." So I gotta take them into the men's room, that's what I have to do, is take them into the John F. Kennedy Airport men's room. Look here, girls! Nine penises! Nine penises that are all peeing at the same time. Nine farting men from all over the world, with their dicks out, shaking off droplets of pee from their syphilitic penises. Look, three of them have foreskins. You can see the difference now."
When I read things like "the foundations of capitalism are shattering," I'm like, maybe we need that. Maybe we need some time where we're walking around with a donkey with pots clanging on the sides. Because everything is amazing right now and nobody's happy... In my lifetime, the changes in the world have been incredible. Now we live in an amazing, amazing world and it's wasted on the crappiest generation of just spoiled idiots that don't care, because this what people are like now. They've got their phone and they're like "Uh, it won't" GIVE IT A SECOND! It's going to space! Can you give it a second to get back from space? Is the speed of light too slow for you?
I read something in the paper that really confused me the other day. It said that 80 percent of the people in New York are minorities... Shouldn't you not call them minorities when they get to be 80 percent of the population? That's a very white attitude, don't you think? I mean, you could take a white guy to Africa and he'd be like ""Look at all the minorities around here! I'm the only majority.""
A man will cut your arm off and throw it in a river, but he'll leave you as a human being intact. He won't f**k with who you are. Women are non-violent but they will s**t inside of your heart.
I'd like to name my kid a whole phrase, you know, something like 'Ladies and Gentlemen.' That'll be a cool name for a kid. "This is my son, Ladies and Gentlemen." Then when he gets out of hand I get to go "Ladies and Gentlemen, please!"
I thought for like five years that when you have sex, you come and one of your balls comes out. That's what I thought happened, that you have to come a ball out of that little whole at the tip of your dick. I was terrified! That's what I thought, you just... Bahh! And you push a ball out and she's screaming and there's blood everywhere... and you can only do it twice and then you're out of balls. That's what I thought. You come and have two babies, and then you just walk around with an empty sack for the rest of your life. Which turned out to be true...
I think evolution is responsible for why everything is the way it is. Some people don't believe in evolution. Some people don't believe in it and that's OK. I don't think that they're stupid but I think most people that argue against evolution sound really stupid. Because most people that argue against it say s**t like ""Well I ain't a monkey."" That's not... No one said that you were... ""Well my daddy ain't a monkey."" Do you just want to keep going back until you find a monkey? Is that the point? Did you read the thing? It doesn't sound like you read it. It's not, it didn't happen in 1972. It's a whole...
Everybody is different. Some comedy is more musical like Steven [Wright]. His is a pillar of comedy to me. He invented a whole form and all his jokes are poems. So it's different. I wanted to do it like George [Carlin]. Now I do it like me.
