This guy really makes me laugh. "Number 72.... ah  , 27" Classic stand up! I remember seeing this when it was new, way back when. The cable box was a big clunky thing, but you could steal pay channels with a bent 3x5 card. Stolen HBO made me the man I am today  I always say Key and Peele were inspired by this skit to do their classic skit. |

This guy really makes me laugh. "Number 72.... ah , 27" Classic stand up! I remember seeing this when it was new, way back when. The cable box was a big clunky thing, but you could steal pay channels with a bent 3x5 card. Stolen HBO made me the man I am today  I always say Key and Peele were inspired by this skit to do their classic skit. It's funny AF. I watched a few more videos of him...all really good. Regarding HBO, we were very naughty as a family. Dad made a satellite receiver antenna out of a coffee can and some spare electronic parts, mounted it on our antenna mast below the rotor and aimed it at the HBO satellite. It worked pretty well, but atmospheric interference sometimes blocked the reception. Then one day we got a formal letter from the cable supplier threatening a lawsuit if we didn't take it down. Dad disconnected it, but left the receiver up on the mast in protest. His attitude was basically, 'come at me bro.' Nothing ever happened. Then Comcast changed the way premium channels were delivered. Everything came through a single cable to everyone's house. Those who didn't want the premium package got an in-line filter up on the telephone pole which blocked a certain frequency range. So I just climbed the telephone pole and removed the filter - worked like a charm for years. Yes, we were aware at the time that this was cheating...not immoral, but it was cheating. Didn't care. Our attitude was that if we paid for the cable from the pole to the house (which we did), then if we wanted to remove a component we would. And we viewed the atmosphere as being free just like regular radio and TV signals...if we can capture the signal, it's ours to use as we see fit. In retrospect, I'm sure hating Comcast had a lot to do with this. If they had treated their customers better and not behaved as an uncaring monopoly, we would probably have paid for it. Comcast hasn't changed...they're still screwing me and I still hate them. I don't do anything naughty anymore, but if given an acceptable alternative I'd jump ship in a heartbeat. |

Dang, you guys were really into it, all we did was bend a 3x5 card and stick it into the box (we're not very scientific) I have no idea who our cable provider was and my state cop dad didn't give a rats ass. I remember several other channels we got too, Showtime, The Movie Channel (TMC), and Preview. One of them Preview I think showed soft porn at night so that was our internet "Preview was an American subscription television service that launched in 1980.[1] Like its competitors, such as ONTV and SelecTV, Preview was a scrambled UHF subscription channel requiring a special set-top box to decode the signal" |

SuperDave Osbourne  I forgot about that guy. He was ubiquitous for awhile there. Bob is still around, kind of. He's got a running gag with the Dan LeBatard with Stugotz show going. Unfortunately for Dan several people he interviewed died shortly after being interviewed (Alan Thicke, Bill Paxton) so Bob thinks the show is cursed. He won't go on but he leaves voice mails and talks with the talent booker off air then she relates what he said. |

Still makes me laugh. This clip reminded me that we had Steve Martin albums because my mom thought he was a clean comedian  |

Louis CK comeback set after his scandal.
This if from one of the few clubs willing to let him perform. I think he had 3 sold out nights.
Very funny. There's an annoying guy with an annoying laugh near the mic, but other than that...
