Naughty jokes had most in stitches
If you like raunchy gags about alcoholic beverage and pornography, then you probably would have got loved Dave
Attell's stand-up comedy last nighttime in the Riffe Center's Washington Theatre.
For a small more than than an hour, the adjacent host of
The Gong Show (collective groan) reveled in the seamier side of life, and he had
most of the crowd along for the full ride.
Yet if one wiped down the many unmentionable spots and scrubbed up the language, you'd still have
a comic's amusing who can state a good joke.
Take this gap line, about our just city: "I like how you cats do a business district expression deserted. It's wish
I Am Legend rans into Autonomy City."
(Anyone who's played
Grand Larceny Car will LOL at that one.)
Attell jumped from subject to topic, but scattered among the naughty spots were a few gems:
"I was in Dubai recently. Dubai is the Vegas of the Center East. No, it isn't, because I've been
to Vegas, and Vegas is fun. I've had more than merriment at DeVry, and Iodine learned a trade."
"Drinking and drive is wrong, but imbibing and watching drive is (bleeping) fun."
"I like 'em fat and fresh ⦠I love fat Peasant misses who worship the Satan and cheese."
"I lost a clump of money on Equus caballus racing the other twenty-four hours (at Belmont). Horse racing is the Amish
NASCAR."
"How is it that you can acquire your most of import photograph (for a passport) processed at a CVS?"
His political wit was equally twisted, too, starting with, "Speaking of Pap smears, what do
you believe of Edmund Hillary Clinton?"
His lone ailment with Barack Obama was that he's too thin: "I don't desire him getting off the
plane to some Third World country, and they manus
him food." Attell thought Obama should pick the Burger King as his running play mate:
"That way, you'd acquire a reasonably priced meal, too. Then, McCain could acquire Jared from Subway."
There was a nod in Attell's stuff to getting older, touching on the awful colonoscopy,
changing his diet and not drinking and smoke as much. He also told the women in the audience (who
seemed to be in the minority) that their work force believe of them like the picture-in-picture characteristic on a
television: "You're the large picture, but they still have got that small image on."
Attell ended with one of his signature bits, in which audience members yelled out what they are
drinking, and he told them how their nighttime would stop (generally badly). He thanked everyone for
coming out on a Lord'S Day night: "Sunday is recovery twenty-four hours for a batch of people."
Craig Peters opened with a nice warm-up set with spots such as as having route fury in a funeral
procession, taking advantage of a free sample of Viagra, and this one-liner: "You cognize what I hate
about the Amish? Their Web site."
