I would say, "Sam Kinison, R.I.P.", but I don't think that he would be happy with resting or with peace. He seemed happier raising hell.

There are some people who, in my view, can use the F-word effectively. Kineson was one. A former Pentecostal preacher, Kineson was side-splittingly funny. I saw him in Dayton, and had tickets to a second event when Kinseson slipped on some ice and hurt his head (at least, that was the story) and had to cancel. He died not long after that--at testament to always wear your seat belt!

I miss his humor, greatly. When told he might go to hell, he said, "Hell? (screaming) I'VE BEEN MARRIED THREE TIMES!!"

[The G Man]

LOL! He was too damn funny. My favorite bit of his was about some retired astronaut sitting around in a trailer park in Arizona with his buddies and pointing up and going "I WAS THERE! THERE! I WAS ON THE ****ING MOON MAN!!"

Sam is now, and has always been, one of my heroes. No one could do it like him. A lot of people on this forum may say that his jokes about Jesus were disgusting, but if you look deeper into what he is saying, he is slamming what was done to Jesus,and marveling at his ability to continue to forgive them

[Poohbah]

Denis Leary's pretty good, too.

"Somebody says, 'I'm not happy. My life didn't turn out the way I thought it would.' WELL, JOIN THE F***ING CLUB, PAL! I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE A CENTER FIELDER FOR THE NEW YORK YANKEES, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY! LIFE SUCKS, GET A HELMET!"

That hunger bit was one of the funniest things I've ever heard. :)

No comic ever made me laugh as hard as Sam Kinison. I've missed the un-PC stand-ups. No one could get away with half of those bits today.

I remember: "This is America, damn it! Ronald Reagan is president, and Clint Eastwood has his own police force!"

here's to wishing that sam could have a "second coming"

Sam Kinison was one of the funniest comics I have ever seen. He was one of my favorites.

[pogo101]

Sam was less "gay tolerant" than South Park, although there are parallels. I certainly found him a slightly guilty pleasure. Laughed my ass off! And I miss him.

[Siouxz]

My husband and I saw him in Cleveland one time at the Nautica. We were totally destroyed--tears running down our cheeks, and our faces hurt so bad from laughing. He was a very funny man.

[MattinNJ]

Sam Kinison-Simply put, the funniest Mother F'er ever. I think he'd like that.

Sam Kinison, Dennis Leary, Dice Clay - in their prime, that would be one helluva show!

[ekyjim]

The first line I ever heard from Sam Kinison was when he was on a Rodney Dangerfield HBO special. He came out and said, "I would have been here earlier, but I just spent the last 20 minutes at a 7-11 going 'MARLBORO! MARLBORO! SMOKEEE SMOKEEE. YOU CAN'T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH, HOW DID YOU GET THIS JOB?! I SHOULDA SHOT YOUR A** IN DA NANG WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE!'" He became my favorite comedian right then and there.

[PfromHoGro]

Great post! I too loved BAD SAM. Of my many favorites I still tell the "homosexual necrophiliacs" one with the sight gag of course:

"Oh I'm dead now...I guess I'll just rest in eternal peace with my soul.....what the.. ..hey....hey.....AAAUGUAUAUAUUAUAHGHGHGH."

Killer.

[DoctorMichael]

Screamin' Sam Bump!

[bmwcyle]

I miss him.

My favorite Sam K bit was the "Robo Pope":

Voice over voice talking really fast: " He's Robo-Pope. He loves God, he hates crime, HE'S COMING TO YOUR TOWN."

Robot voice: "You are in violation of John 3:16"


Funny stuff.
