He's the only notable person I felt a connection with, and I miss him every single time something ridiculous happens in the world. I just want his take on one more thing in life.

Seriously. Just today I finished the last of all 150+ appearances of him on O&A that I could find of him on YouTube. Estimating just off the top of my head, that's about 400 hours of Patrice? And now there's none left. I've been listening to it on my iPod at work for the last year and now I don't know what I'll do. At least I still have the Bill Burr podcasts amongst other O&A stuff... but still. Maybe i'll just start over again at #1 Patrice appearance.

I found O&A (and by proxy, Bill Burr, etc) all because of my impression of Patrice on the Charlie Sheen Roast. It's weird to think of the impact he's had on me :s

patrice o'neal show, black phillip show, webjunk, tough crowd, rare standup spots. i haven't watched mr. p yet for this exact reason. once i do that, there really is nothing left.

Tough crowd on youtube or dvd set?

youtube, unfortunately.

Yeah I figured that, thanks. I was hoping I missed an announcement that the have a box set.

ah. i wish. would make a great christmas gift for, well....me.

boo hoo faggot

I hope someone slashes your throat right to the spine and makes you a fucking dead Pez dispenser.

Great edgy teenager joke.

joke?

I kill people all the time for fun. Shit now i seem like the edgy teenager.

8======D now who's edgy

lol wow guys, why so mean this is how patrice would joke right? ew

Your last sentence made me tear up.

Patrice O'neal quickly became one of my favorite comics after I heard a few minutes of his stand up and I still can't get over how funny Patrice O'Neal is and how no other comedian gave me so many different kinds of laughs or made me laugh harder. Credit must be given to Opie and Anthony for allowing him to be on their show. His cumulative appearances on their show approach some kind of canonical status to me. They are some of the greatest comedy ever. I still, courtesy of amazing youtube up loaders, listen to them frequently.

I don't think I'm perceptive or knowledgeable enough to describe how Patrice made almost everything he said so funny, but a few things stick out to me: his curiosity permeated everything, his ideas were original, he always found an opportunity to turn a conversation silly "this fucking guy is smart as shit. FUCK!...you mothaFUKA! man, go on jeporday nigga, what u doin? ", the rhythm of his speech was hypnotic, and its volume, when he wanted it, was arresting and forced you to pay attention, his laugh did too. He had a knack for finding the right phrase to encapsulate entirely what someone said - "Nigga was a feelin'". He could always give a caustic summary of a person - "You look like you want to fire me but you can't", "Tolu, got your spear on you nigga?". He would not let people off the hook, and he had the skill to do this while still being likable (eg Dr. Z). His openness made you feel like you knew him - when Black Phillip was getting set up he was openly discussing how much he wanted to be paid during live radio.

I remember appreciating his discomfort with all the really mean-spirited stuff Opie and Antony did (when they fuck over Bobo or Stalker Patti) and always letting Opie know when he found something Opie did was funny.

The greatest moments are when he was shut up by people being funnier than him: when Chris Rock schooled him, or when Colin destroyed him on one of his last O&A appearances, "This N...incompoop", "Thanks, Reverend Run". The greatest radio I have ever heard was him telling the rape beef story. And the funniest anecdote I remember was him being embarrassed about a douche chill moment he had when he was pepping up his high school football team near Halloween, "theyre going to get a trick...and were going to get a treat!"

His anecdotes had the greatest details: "this mothafuka cupped his hands...", "a subaru outback". He gave me more belly laughs than anyone.

I love that I understood this and empathized with this.

He was amazing. AN Original.

Oh man I never heard the high school football pepp story!

I think I found it! starts at 2:33:17

The Grinch's heart grew three sizes this day. For a sarcastic, cynical and straight up mean fanbase it says a lot that Patrice is universally loved and respected. We can keep him around.

God I wish I could hear his take on that faggot youtube "comedian" who was stealing his shit a while back. But he probably wouldn't have even done it if Patrice was still alive...

I hated that mother fucker! Wanted to beat him for taking Patrice's thoughts and jokes and acting like they were his..

His advice on the black Philip show is genus

Hearing Jimmy and Blobby talking about how much they miss him yesterday on the Advice Show was just heartbreaking...

[deleted]

He kept everyone in line, he was hilarious, and every show he was on had the ability to become a 'best of'. Patrice was my favorite part of the O&A show, and the show definitely does not have the same feel since Patrice passed.

found it

"You'll be there soon enough; don't rush the process." Damn.

Be where?

The grave. The quote is a couple minutes after the time /u/fireants linked.

[deleted]

Who is that Uncle Fester cosplayer he is with?

Goodbye England's rose.

You were, louder than them all...

"YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE LOUDER THAN ME."

Context? or evn better, a clip??

shit man, i would be looking forever. i think the context was him describing an argument with a woman that was trying to embarrass him publicly by yelling stupidity at him, maybe after a show or while he was onstage. honestly, i only remember the specific words when he said them.

but goddamn, one of the last people you probably ever wanted to be was some run of the mill broad trying to shove female entitlement in his face. he was ready.

he was always ready.

LMAO he was especially right with the second link, i couldnt believe that broad's face.

I dont think I could do that to someone. Still fucking hilarious though.

Patrice, without you... it's cold out here.

Well,... go inside!

They got coffee in there!

Jesus Christ

he was too real for the business

The guy was a fucking shaman. Smarter than Jim, Opie and Ant put together. He really did operate on a higher level, I didn't agree with him on everything, but he was a fucking sick human and it's shitty that we lost him.

I just saw a clip of Bill Burr talking about patrice and he broke down. Made me so upset

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6LD5Gl-OE8

Bill is a hilarious man, who comes off as harsh or stern in his comedy, but this clearly shows how much he cared for his friend.. When I first saw this I imagined him thinking "fucking Patrice making me emotional in front of America!" Then laughing at the jokes Patrice would've made..

One of Patrice's best lines ever was (talking about intern David): "Look at him, he's just so Jewish. He still has pyramid brick dust on his fingers."

That's fucking hilarious, I loved his metaphors..

You made me sad :-( it worked.

Thanks for the memories Patrice...

I'm so thankful to have seen him just 2 weeks before his stroke. He truly was the funniest person I've ever seen live. No one has ever made me laugh like he could.

WTF!? Patrice is dead?

Love you Patreeky.

Jimmy looks like a fat version of the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland.

[deleted]

Too many favorite moments on OnA to list off..but have always loved the Unmasked with Patrice and this was one of my favorite parts.

RIP MR. P

Christ, you're all a bunch of fucking cucks.

Oh, is that so, Jimmy?

Who the FUCK downvoted this shit? Mandatory CASTRATION, you pitiful shit-dandruff motherfuckers.

aww are your widdle feelings hurt?

i'm glad this fat fuck is dead, all of you fags need to stop talking about him, he was a hacky nobody who couldn't hold down a job, go cry moar now

Nice 4chan bullshit homo bag, this tells me you're a dickneck teenager who's had someone ejaculate in his mouth so hard it looked like his teeth melted. I would sincerely like to back over your head in an automobile and park on the stain.

Probably a clone of that planetbullshit guy that comes in and shits in here from time to time. The mods really need to do something about the trolls in here.

He's just looking for attention and I gave it to him and he's got jack shit to come back with. This motherfucker will die tonight.

wow, ur so edgy bro. nice personal threat, glad to see the mods allow this.

Fuckin faggot, where did I threaten you? You could die of natural causes tonight. I didn't say I would kill you. Why would I kill you when you bitch yourself every time you post, a fate far worse than violent death?

wow you're so fucking mad and edgy! you must be a real tough gy

I'm not mad, I'm disdainful. I would like to see your bitch ass struggle with your lungs full of piss. Your mother did right by birthing you on a chopping block.

lol yes you're so mad, your rage gets my dick so hard

Now I know you're lying, unless 'your' dick is lodged somewhere near your tonsils.

so much edge

die.

:)

you first.

miss the big guy

I liked Patrice, but all of the exaggerated public mourning stuff from random people who didnt know him on any kind of personal level kind of gives me douchechills. Are you people really tearing up at the mere mention of Patrice two years later?

I don't actually get pissy-eyed, but it does bum me out. I think a lot of people (myself included) didn't know about him until him right around the time he died, and even though he did leave a pretty sizeable body of work, it feels like he was constantly getting better right up until the end. That's way worse than if he'd gone out at his peak, or after putting out a shitty special or two.

I don't get teary eyed but Patrice definitely had an impact on my life. I've never met a number of people that have influenced me through art or something else. There doesn't have to be direct relationship to have a connection with someone you dumb fuck. I know you're trying to be edgy like the show with words like douche chills but you come off as trying to hard. Just stop. I've spent something like 400+ hours listening to Patrice talk on the show, or his stand up, etc. which means I've listened to Patrice talk more than some people I know in my real life. He's definitely impacted how I think which is an important aspect to who we are so I can see why people would mourn his death.

Jimmy cried on the show once for something most people wouldn't cry over. People cry over different things sometimes that they find a connection with. Jimmy finding out that Roger Ebert no longer could talk probably bothered him since he makes a living speaking. People probably find Patrice's death emotional too because he died very young, and right as he was finally getting recognized for his craft which is comedy. That bothers people on some sort of weird level.

Gotta agree here, loved the guy as a comic and on the show but when he died it was a more of that sucks.

nobody gives a fuck

I'd give a fuck. Right in your mouth.

"You'll be there soon enough; don't rush the process." Damn.
