Lewis Black, heir to the George Carlin throne of the comedy rant, and practitioner of his signature blend of frustrated optimism, lets loose again on his familiar punching bags of hypocrites, corporate swindlers, and governmental incompetents. Black doesn’t have set-ups to jokes so much as he has volcanic build-ups, twitchily rumbling up to eruptive punch lines. Black performed this set just days after the rest of the country shut down (the show was allowed to go on because it was in a sovereign Native American venue), so his commentary covers our current Corona-induced anxiety and his own hilarious frustration over The-Orange-One-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Lewis Black doesn’t take political sides; whether he’s exposing the wide-spread systemic failures of both parties, or pin-pointing the micro-stupidities within pop culture, commensurate rage is jettisoned in favor of deploying an overwhelming force of comic condemnation, punctuated by his ever-present arsenal of F-Bombs.

  • @nightlee11
    Intelligent dialogue covering many points that hit familiarly well. At first I wanted to just share my opinion about cow snuggles, but then a change occurred.
  • @248wendell
    Lewis is obviously a liberal leaning comic but as someone who is vehemently anti-democrat i fucking love him. So funny
  • @justinmas299
    Leave it to 800 to play an old show.like it's new. Still funny

    It's a good thing cattle aren't very bright. They get lined up when they are 4 years old, because that's full-grown, and no point paying to feed them anymore. Then they all watch while the cow at the front of the line gets slaughtered, but they have no concern whatsoever. They just stay single-file and proceed as normal. JUST MAYBE, the number two in line sees what happens to number one, and thinks, "Oh no! Poor Angus" and then it's "Excuse me, Bessie, would you step over here, please?" "Oh, sure, no pro... [BANG!] The dairy and breeding cattle have a longer and presumably happier life. IF I were a dairy cow, though, I'd have to have satellite TV, Xbox, Wifi internet, and some of those nice large print crossword puzzles.
