Patrice O'Neal: Elephant in the Room

The man had a way with words and wasn't afraid to use them. Great advice for young men growing up and thinking they know what is going on. I think everyone needs a bit of Patrice in their lives. RiP Patrice.

This special is up there with delirious, killin em softly etc. Genius and hilarious

Patrice O'Neal, rest in peace, was a longtime NYC area comic who I initially was not a big fan. I had seen him on several things on comedy central as well as several sets at the comedy cellar. However, when I watched this comedy special air on comedy central it completely altered my perspective on his comedic abilities. This is an incredibly funny and partially improvisational set that has virtually no unfunny segments. I honestly would say it is one of the best sets I have ever seen. If you can't find somewhere, download it at the pirate bay. Anyway, do not miss this rarely seen and completely overlooked comedy gem.

Probably the one of the funniest special ever! I am just shocked that how much underrated Patrice is. I have seen this special once every year and it never fails to make me laugh my ass off. I miss this guy so much!

I knew O'Neal from Arreated Development, The Office, and fell in love with him on the Charlie Sheen roast. A must view if you haven't seen it. The comedy central special illuminated who he was, and what motivated him. A tragic and touching story. To watch his stand up is to see Belushi, Hendrix, or Lennon. He was an artist at the top of his craft taken from people who cherished him. While Elephant is offensive to some, it is howingly funny. When Bill Burr says O'Neal was better than anyone else around, that speaks volumes.
