He had a great line....
I asked a woman for her phone number and she told me she wouldn’t date me if I was the only guy left in the world. I told her, lady, if I was the last guy left in the world, I wouldn’t even let you in line.
I don’t know about great. Emo is more along the lines of bizarre and mildly fascinating while high.
I like when Emo said-
“People come up to me... concerned... that I’ll reproduce” lol
And “I’m a great lover... I’ll bet”
I still take that as a thumbs-up lol
There’s definitely something to be said for originality and Emo definitely has it.
He came along at the perfect time.
“I was walking down the street, something caught my eye, and dragged it 15 feet.”
From the song, Downer’s Grove.
(I saw Emo in person!)
If I had to choose one comedian who actually made me laugh, he would be at the top of my list.
On a radio interview a while back....
“I weight 165 pounds stark naked.”
“At least that’s what the scale at the bus station says.”
Don’t go near the basement door, Emo...
Never particularly cared for him. Maybe it’s guilt by association. I new a guy in college who looked like that, on purpose, a whack-job Psych major and a manipulative SOB, according to his friends, which surprisingly he had. (The guy at school, not Emo, although some people called him “Emo”.)
Anyone who can be funny without going “blue” (very vulgar) derserves credit. Must of them cannot be funny unless it gets really disgusting.
Emo could be funny without going “blue.”
“Great”? Hmmm, his material was funny, but he’s just toooo weird. Sometimes gimmicks work against ya.
I have a sudden urge to eat some cole slaw.

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!”
He said, “Nobody loves me.”
I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”
He said, “Yes.”
I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?”
He said, “A Christian.”
I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?”
He said, “Protestant.”
I said, “Me, too! What franchise?”
He said, “Baptist.”
I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Baptist.”
I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.”
I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.”
I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.”
I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.
Not that many can do that- agreed, he’s got it
