Bob Nelson is still one of the greatest comedians and a favorite of mine. Fabulous he can make you laugh so much and never have to depend on any vulgarities or every third word starting with F. Nothing cheers me up more than rewatching these wonderful skits of his. Thanks!
WHY IS THIS GENIUS ALMOST UNKNOWN FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC? He had roles in a few movies in the 90's but disappeared completely after that. And it was not because he was bad--nobody thought _that_
He is a Christian. He doesn't believe in dirty comedy. I assume he wouldn't take alot of roles. He likes his comedy to be family friendly. I personally believed he got passed over too many times in Hollywood and started just doing his stand up, but idk. I seen him live around 2012, he explained Some of it. His show was hilarious, I laughed from beginning to end.
First time I saw Bob Nelson was in the mid 80's. His FOOTBALL routine was absolutely fantastic!!!! His DUCK routine is just about the funniest I've seen. How do they think this stuff up.
me too ,my dad took as a kid and in 9th grade (1988) I did the Football routine in front of my school and there parents ,things did not go over well after....
Oh, THIS is hilarious! My kinda new pet Starling Bird (she's about 3 & a half months old, now --- in the stage of "hearing & memorizing" sounds she hears & likes, though she won't be letting anyone know or hear what she's memorized til she'll be 9-12 months old, so I'm told) came zooming across the room to my shoulder to watch/listen to this video, as soon as she heard you, Bob, making the regular song-bird sound effects --- then she diligently listened to each of your sound effects for the whole rest of this gig (so, no telling what/if she's "filing away in her memory bank" for future repeats!)! Love it!
mike smith My dad used to laugh so hard at this guy that I thought he was going to black out.His football bit is great,hell all of them are now that I’m old enough to understand them.
I first saw this act at Richard Dixon's White House in North Massapequa in the '70's. I'll never forget it. It was the high point of the night, even though Eddie Murphy was also performing.
I've always thought he was one of the best comedians of all time he was so clean I could bring houses to the ground I saw sure he said red Skelton came and saw a show and he wasn't cleanand red Skelton told him that you're better than that and the cleanup the act because you're so good you don't need to be dirty red knew what he was talking about this guy has incredible talent and always has
This guy is comedy genius. If you want to see more of him, you need to find the movie Brain Donors (based loosely on the movie A Night at the Opera, by the Marx Brothers). It is pure slapstick. If you don't laugh, "I'll poo-poo on your face"!
awesome, do you still perform... you were by far the funniest on the Dangerfield HBO special where everyone became famous. You would be on top of that list. Your football skit was a classic when I first saw it.
Bob, you are awesome! Duck, duck goose... take it easy on the language for the kids sake that are listening... you don't need that language to be funny, my brother
This guy should have been way more famous and rich because his routines were outrageously funny because he was an amazingly smart guy with amazing impressions and sfx. This routine is so well planned and executed. Compare ti any boring comatose Seinfeld stand up. It doesn't stand up. :)
Well...he and Jerry both came from Massapequa (me too). But different high schools. Bob went to mine. I saw him do bits at backyard parties. He kept it clean of course. Nice guy too.
@@NYVoice I never got Seinfeld in standup or his show. I guess I needed to be Jewish maybe. ? But maybe it's just his style didn't appeal to me. Like, I like Steven Wright's stuff because it's surreal and often clever but it's not bust a gut funny. I like the silly stuff. Like this duck routine. Steve Martin did purely ridiculous stuff. Guys that just stand there and do the boring anecdotes.... I just am not into that. That's why I like Bob because he does skits instead of "funny thing happened to me on the way to the show". zzzzz
