commercial knows offers
The Internet offers opportunities that are more unique than ever before. With TV, I know I'm making 22 minutes; I know there's a commercial in the middle. With the Internet, no one knows anything. No rules.
inspirational fishes knows
You know why fish are so thin? They eat fish.
people ugly knows
See, the thing of it is, there's a lot of ugly people out there walking around but they don't know they're ugly because nobody actually tells them.
important reservations knows
See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to hold the reservation and that's really the most important part of the reservation, the holding. Anybody can just take them.
wells essays knows
I always did well on the essay questions. Just put everything you know on there, maybe you'll hit it.
article china clothing club equivalent expensive lost mall side since west
The article said that since the Upper West Side lost Charivari (an expensive clothing retailer) and the China Club (a nightspot), it's equivalent to 'a mall in Iowa,'
humor
Nobody enjoys the 'little show about nothing' humor more than me, but that is never the way I look at it.
drop life mind suits
As a comedian, I found this thing, this profession, that suits my mind and life force. To drop it to do something else? I just don't get that.

I've done a number of Super Bowl ads. And that is the best advertising of the year. That is when people realize they're going to be compared directly against other ads.
actual comedian experience miss painful spend time virtual
You spend so much time in the world of virtual that the actual - which nothing is more actual than stand-up - it's a painful experience for the audience, and the comedian a lot of time - we miss that.
love people
I do a little thing about the way people shake the sweetener packet. You know, like they're all excited. I want to get all the granules down to one end. I love all these rituals.
advertising gotten
A lot of advertising has gotten worse. I think it's kind of lost its nerve, to be honest with you. I feel like the advertising of the '60s, they were nervier. You know why? Because there was less at stake.
craft love people seem suffer
I kind of thought that stand-up comedy would suffer from the Internet because people seem to know more about the craft of stand-up than ever before. I thought it would seem trite. Kind of like if you know more about magicians, you wouldn't love them.
Stand-up is hard. Or to keep it at a certain level is hard: I have no writers but me.
