I saw him live at the Funny Bone here in Richmond a few years back and got him to sign his DVD. He was a funny guy.

Damn, he was pretty funny.

damn.....

I was following this story on FaceBook and Twitter via the various comedians that I know. Really bad deal. He was a funny guy who went through a lot of shit in his life, but kept it together through comedy.

lesson: don't get into a vehicle with anyone named Alyiah...

 

Yeah, I saw it on Fark a couple of days ago.  He was one of the funiest comedians ever.  95% of his act was very not-safe-for-work, but he was funny as hell.






My wife and I actually saw him live at a comedy club in Raleigh when we were dating (front row too!).  I laughed so hard I almost passed out.  I wish I had it on tape.  A lot of the material I've never seen again on TV.
With all his health problems over the last few years, I never would have thought he'd go in a car wreck.  
On a lighter note, here are a couple of his goodies:
"I needed to get into shape so I joined a gym.  This trainer wanted me to do some exercises 'just to see where you're at.'  I warned him that I got winded filling out the membership application, so don't expect too much.





He put me on this stair climber machine, and less than a minute later, I started to smell bone burning like when you're at the dentist."
"My problem is that my kids have seen my act, so they think they can talk to me about sex, even though they're my kids.  The other day my daughter calls me up and says, 'Dad, I really need to talk about something with me and Steve, and I can't tell mom, because I know she'll just freak.'  Great, thanks to calling me.  Hang on, let me get my heart pills.  Because if she tells me she took it up the ass, I'm gonna drop dead right on the fuckin' phone.  How would you like that to be the last thing you ever hear?  'Daddy, I don't like it in the butt.'  (grabs chest) 'DOOOHHH!  Mother fuck!'
 

His HBO stand up is hilarious, I was sad to hear of his death.

We'll miss him.

Robert Schimmel on Blind People
"How do blind people know when they’re done wiping their ass?"

on Penis Enlargement
"They do sell a lot of weird things in sex shops. They have this stuff called Mr. Big Cream. It says, “Rub it on your dick and your dick gets bigger.” Great. Wouldn’t your hands get bigger too? "

on Dogs
"What do you say when your friends come to visit and the dog starts humping their leg. Well, if it’s a pit bull, you say, “You better let him finish.” "

on Feminine Hygiene Ads
"They do have weird ads. That one with the mother and daughter on the beach –– 'Mom, why do they have douche?' Why don't you ask the pelicans that are following you?"

I had a very naive dental assistant one day tell me I was going to feel a little prick in my mouth one day.   I started giggling uncontrollably, she asked me why I was laughing so I told her the joke and she didn't get it.

Damned shame he's gone.

I was very sorry to hear about his death too.  

He was a funny guy.  I really liked his bit about the "Singapore butt slug" in the airport restroom.

I loved the bit where he talked about his rectal exam:





"You may feel a little bit of pressure."


"Yeah, on the roof of my mouth.  Get it out."





And the doctor thinks he can just talk to you while he's doing this.


"Hey, did you watch the big game last night?"


"Yeah....  I taste metal."





 

Robert Schimmel was a seriously funny guy

The bit he did on "Make a Wish" was one of the most inappropriately funny things I've heard.

RIP
