Patrice O'Neal, rest in peace, was a longtime NYC area comic who I initially was not a big fan. I had seen him on several things on comedy central as well as several sets at the comedy cellar. However, when I watched this comedy special air on comedy central it completely altered my perspective on his comedic abilities. This is an incredibly funny and partially improvisational set that has virtually no unfunny segments. I honestly would say it is one of the best sets I have ever seen. If you can't find somewhere, download it at the pirate bay. Anyway, do not miss this rarely seen and completely overlooked comedy gem.

Incredibly Overlooked and Underrated
Legend
When i watch stand up comedy i tend to be really inside my head. I hear the jokes and like analyse them and go "Jeez that's funny, good play on words etc..."
But i don't laugh.... i must be dead inside cause i just don't laugh out loud to any comic..
I watched this special maybe 10 times now and Patrice is the only one who can just make me die of laughter.... i can't stop laughing it comes from the gut. I'm mad when his specials are over cause i had such a good time that it just reminds me of everything else that sucks.
This man is a legend. We lost him too soon. Hope like Carlin and Pryor the world never forget him. Brilliant guy. The best jokes i ever heard not even close.
RIP Big Man.
Must watch
Probably the one of the funniest special ever! I am just shocked that how much underrated Patrice is. I have seen this special once every year and it never fails to make me laugh my ass off. I miss this guy so much!
