ago another complaint too many vehicles
0:55
there are some families in this country
0:56
own entirely too many vehicles you see
0:59
them on the high way and an RV well
1:01
that's not enough for them RV is not
1:02
enough behind them they're towing a
1:04
motorboat go-kart dune buggy dirt bike

1:20
is a lunar Excursion module too many
1:23
choices America it's not
1:27
healthy another abomination white guys
1:31
over 10 years of age who wear their
1:34
baseball hats
1:37
backwards
1:39
listen listen
1:43
to white guys let me tell you something
1:47
you're never going to be as cool as
1:49
black guys it's not going to happen
1:52
you're white and you're
1:57
lame it's a [ __ ] law of
2:01
nature turning your hat around and
2:03
learning a complicated handshake will
2:05
not make you cool and you black guys
2:07
since you started the whole thing I'm
2:08
going to let you stay with the hats a
2:10
little bit longer but I think really
2:11
once you qualify for Social Security
2:13
it's time to spin that [ __ ]
2:14
around to the front again
2:21
right another tip another tip for the

2:27
over it's been over for a long time
2:30
doesn't mean anything anymore it was
2:32
supposed to piss off the squares the
2:35
squares are wearing them
2:36
now doesn't mean anything it's just
2:39
[ __ ] jewelry unless you have an
2:40
earring with a live baby hanging from it
2:43
it's just jewelry and I want you to know
2:45
I'm in favor of self-mutilation and
2:47
personal
2:48
disfigurement I've always said there's
2:50
nothing like puncturing and Perforating
2:52
your skin in a dozen or so places in
2:53
order to demonstrate your high
2:55
self-esteem when I see a young man
2:57
decorating his scalp with a soldering
2:59
iron I say there's a happy
3:02
guy thinks highly of
3:06
himself and haven't we gone a little
3:08
overboard with these colored ribbons for
3:10
different causes every cause has its own

anymore sort of take them in maybe even
6:27

notion does it does experience have to
6:32
be documented and brought home and saved
6:34
on a shelf and do people really watch
6:36
this [ __ ] are people's lives so bankrupt
6:38
they sit at home looking at things they

6:58
the same ugly three children in every
7:00
goddamn
7:01
shot all the George Lucas magic in
7:04
Hollywood is not going to change the
7:06
unfortunate genetic configuration on the
7:08
faces of these children keep these
7:10
unfortunate youngsters out of public
7:12
[Applause]
7:14
view
7:17
now a lot of these hold on a
7:21
sec a lot of these cultural crimes I've
7:24
been complaining about can be blamed on
7:27
the Baby Boomers something else I'm a
7:29
little tired of hearing about the Baby
7:31
Boomers whiny narcissistic
7:35
self-indulgent people with a simple
7:36
philosophy give me it it's mine give me
7:39
that it's
7:41
mine these people were given everything
7:44
everything was handed to them and they
7:46
took it all took it all sex drugs and
7:49
rock and roll and they stayed loaded for
7:50
20 years and had a free ride but now
7:53
they're staring down the barrel of
7:54
middle-aged burnout and they don't like
7:56
it they don't like it so they turned
7:58
self-right
8:00
and they want to make things hard on
8:01
younger people they tell them abstain
8:03
from sex say no to drugs as for the rock
8:06
and roll they sold that for television
8:07
commercials a long time ago so they
8:10
could buy pasta machines and stair
8:13
Masters and soybean
8:16
Futures
8:17
Sobe
8:20
Futures you know
8:23
something they're cold bloodless people
8:27
it's in their slogans it's in their
8:28
rhetoric no pain no gain just do it life
8:32
is short play hard [ __ ] happens deal
8:35
with it get a life these people went
8:37
from Do Your Own Thing to just say no
8:40
they went from Love is All You Need to
8:42
whoever winds up with the most toys wins
8:45
and they went from cocaine to
8:55
Rane and you know something they're
8:57
still counting grams only now it's fat
9:00
Gams and the worst of it is the rest of
9:03
us have to watch these commercials on TV
9:05
for Levi's loose fitting jeans and fat
9:08
ass Docker
9:09
pants because these degenerate yepy
9:12
Boomer [ __ ] couldn't keep their
9:14
hands off the crance and the hogendas
9:17
and their big fat asses have spread all
9:19
over and they have to wear fat ass
9:20
Docker pants [ __ ] these Boomers [ __ ]
9:23
these yuppies and [ __ ] everybody now
9:26
that I think of it
9:34
Fu
9:38
well sometimes in comedy you have to
9:42
generalize now there's one thing you
9:44
might have noticed I don't complain
9:46
about
9:48
politicians everybody complains about
9:51
politicians everybody says they suck
9:53
yeah well where do people think these
9:55
politicians come from they don't fall
9:57
out of the sky they don't pass through a
9:59
membrane from another reality they come
10:02
from American parents and American
10:03
families American Homes American schools
10:05
American churches American businesses
10:07
and American universities and they're
10:08
elected by American citizens this is the
10:11
best we can do folks this is what we
10:15
have to offer it's what our system
10:17
produces garbage in garbage out if you
10:21
have selfish ignorant citizens if you
10:25
have selfish ignorant citizens you're
10:26
going to get selfish ignorant leaders
10:28
and term limits ain't going to do you
10:29
any good you're just going to wind up
10:31
with a brand new bunch of selfish
10:32
ignorant Americans so maybe maybe maybe
10:36
it's not the politicians who suck maybe
10:39
something else sucks around here like
10:42
the
10:42
public yeah the public sucks there's a
10:45
nice campaign slogan for somebody the
10:49
public sucks [ __ ] hope [ __ ]
10:53
hope because if it's really just the
10:55
fault of these politicians then where
10:57
are all the other bright people of
10:59
conscience where are all the bright
11:01
honest intelligent Americans ready to
11:02
step in and save the nation and lead the
11:05
way we don't have people like that in
11:07
this country everybody's at the mall
11:10
scratching his ass picking his nose
11:12
taking his credit card out of his fanny
11:14
pack and buying a pair of sneakers with
11:16
lights in
11:19
them so I have solved this little
11:21
political dilemma for myself in a very
11:23
simple way on Election Day I stay home I
11:27
don't vote [ __ ] them [ __ ]
11:30
I don't vote two reasons two reasons I
11:33
don't vote first of all it's meaningless
11:35
this country was bought and sold and
11:37
paid for a long time ago the [ __ ] they
11:39
Shuffle around every four
11:42
years doesn't mean a [ __ ]
11:45
thing and secondly I don't vote cuz I
11:47
believe if you vote you have no right to
11:51
complain people like to twist that
11:53
around I know they say they say well if
11:55
you don't vote you have no right to
11:56
complain but where's the logic in that
11:59
if if you vote and you elect dishonest
12:01
incompetent people and they get into
12:03
office and screw everything up well you
12:05
are responsible for what they have done
12:07
you caused the problem you voted them in
12:09
you have no right to complain I on the
12:12
other
12:13
hand who did not vote who did not vote
12:18
who in fact did not even leave the house
12:22
on Election
12:23
Day am in no way responsible for what
12:25
these people have done and have every
12:26
right to complain as loud as I want
12:28
about the mess you created that I had
12:29
nothing to do with so I know that a
12:32
little later on this year you're going
12:33
to have another one of those really
12:35
swell presidential elections that you
12:37
like so much you'll enjoy yourselves
12:38
it'll be a lot of fun I'm sure as soon
12:40
as the election is over your country
12:41
will improve immediately as for me I'll
12:44
be home on that day doing essentially
12:46
the same thing as you the only
12:48
difference is when I get finish
12:49
masturbating I'm going to have a little
12:51
something to show for it folks thank you
12:54
very much
12:59
oh
