I'm impressed;)

Some of the humor is lost in the writing. He has the most deadpan delivery style that it’s possible to have which really enhances the brilliance of his jokes. One of the best comedians ever and clean too.

Saw this guy on the Tonight Show with Carson years ago. Never laughed harder in my life.

He is the best comedian ever. I put him on once at a family gathering for Christmas, after dinner. The "I don't get him look" around the room was priceless.

That guy (Mitch Hedberg)who used to do the Jimmy John's commercials was really funny too, but was just stealing Wright's shtick. Shame he died from stupid things.

I’m up and down on him, but I do like some of his stuff! His deadpan delivery is definitely his trademark...:)

I parked my car in a Tow Away zone. When I came back, the entire area was gone.

I bought a dog the other day. I named him Stay. It’s fun to call him. “Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!” He went insane. Now he just ignores me and keeps typing.

I first saw Steven Wright in 1980 when he was the third guy up in an night of 5 comedians at the Ding Ho comedy club in Cambridge MA. Steve was 19 at the time and grew up in a suburb of Boston. He is so different from other comedians. We thought he was hilarious. If you get a chance, go see him live...

[Virginia]

Love him so much. My favorite (paraphrased) - I once went to a convenience store and the sign said “Open 24 Hours,” but the manager was outside locking the door. I said to him, “your sign says ‘Open 24 Hours.’” He said, “not in a row.”

Erwin Corey...

IIRC?

Sounds familiar.

Remember him from waaaay-back. Dude is funny as they come. His deadpan delivery was outstanding. And a clean act, too.

[gunnyg]

I know a guy that oughta tweet his stuff!

One if my favorite Wright jokes:

I am a peripheral visionary. I can see into the future, but only off to the sides.

I bought some powdered water once, but I didn’t know what to add.

Once I bought a pack of AA batteries, but they weren’t included, so I had to buy them again.
