Brian's hilarious bit on hospitals which offers numeorus humorous reminders of my recent emergency room visit for kidney stones. In the midst of excruciating pain, it also taught me to "Say 8!"
Years and years later and still whenever people ask me to rate anything on a scale of 1 to 10, my brain screams “Say 8, say 8!!” Even if it’s actually a 2 or something, I have to actively restrain myself from saying 8.
Idky I feel like oversharing but, I grew up in the hood majority of my life. I’m a minority & I find myself relating to everything he talks about. Funny has no barriers
But the real fun begins when they give you the remote that calls the head nurse. BUT THEY ARE TOO fuck'n busy taking the guy in the bed next to you to the morgue. So my only option left is to screem out at the top of my lungs "HELP ME YOU FN SADIISTICAL. BITCHES!!!." THEN OUT COMES THEIR BIGGEST MEANIST UGLIEST NURSES WHO YELL AT YOU FOR CALLING THEM. AND THIS ALL HAPPENS IN THE ICU, UNTIL YOU GRADUATE TO THE PHYSICAL THERAPY UNIT." ALL YE ARE DAMED WHO ENTER HERE!
I was actually surprised in 2016 when I had to take my wife to the emergency room at a Seventh Day Adventist hospital in Orlando FL. They had FREE VALET PARKING! And not long after I had seen this bit. :D
eyeseer1 I did valet parking for at a hospitals for years. The problem is if they didn’t charge for emergencies, everyone would be an emergency. In fairness the hospitals I worked at didn’t whack people too hard, just enough to pay for us. I think it was $2 for 4 hours, $8 for 8 hours or all day and that was in a major city in the northeast. I saw some pretty crazy shit and strangely got to talk to some people of notoriety.
@@chrisconley8583 I could just see it now if hospitals with valet parking for the ER were charging: "sir, that's a $25 charge and we only accept cash. you can go down the block to the ATM....sir...sir...when he regains consciousness we'll let this charge slide."
lol. when i had a bad case of food posioning, i danged near did just that. pretty sure i would've told them that i'd be lying on the floor...it was that bad.
@@chloekit4861 no one calls an ambulance for a tummy ache. You have to fight with your insurance and if they refuse, it's over a grand. If someone calls, they're in excruciating pain.
WHO IN THE HELL HAD THE AUDACITY TO SAY HE WAS AT A LEVEL 10?!?!?!! GIVE ME A SLEDGEHAMMER I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT 10 IS ALL ABOUT!!!!! MISTER TUMMY ACHE!!!!😂😂😂
I've only experienced a femur break vicariously, my dad had his pulverized by a drunk driver back in 1996, but I'm pretty sure,having seen what he went through pain wise, I doubt he'd be grabbin' a sledgehammer,lol.
This gave me hysterical flashbacks to driving myself to the hospital with a lodged gall stone. Pain so bad I threw up. I hit every red light, and at the Emergency Room valet parking I was stuck behind people casually coming to visit. I literally left my running car at the driveway and thankfully one of my boys from my U-19 soccer team was working there and saw me staggering away from my car. When I entered, barely standing, no one would acknowledge me and I had to almost force a lady to check me in. On the ward, on the gurney (that made me laugh) they tried a regular pain killer and I laughed it off. They gave me blessed morphine. I was ready to go home right there. Gall bladder was removed the next day. It was my own tragic comedy. I was released too late to get the oxy script filled at the pharmacy. I spent the first night without painkillers.
Omg, how you got through the 1st night without pain meds is beyond me. Love your story. I mean, it's something you can laugh about now. Brian's stand up is too funny, and true.
@@elainemorris4806, to be honest, being in such blind pain that I threw up my own dinner, with my youngest son that was already breaking my balls about what I had cooked to say,”I told you the dinner was bad.” Diving myself to find care for whatever this was, I went first to a walk-in at just 7:00pm and it was closed! Stopped at every damn light all the way to the emergency room, etc. Going without meds was the least pain I had felt since it started. Thanks for enjoying the story. Not my first time driving myself to the emergency room with a crazy injury though.
Before SNL, Norm Mcdonald was totally clean, never swore. Never drank, either, but when he came to headline for a week in our club in Chicago...well, we put a stop to that, lol.
Last night I was in terrible pain and had to drive myself to the ER - quite the adventurous drive. I definitely said 8...and I was certainly out-moaning the mystery patient on the other side of the curtain in my luxurious half-room. Turns out I have a kidney stone. 100% the worst pain I've ever felt. Not even close. The morphine certainly helped. Thank you, Brian Regan.
I thought I had heard all his stuff, but this was new to me. Brian is a hilarious comedian without the vulgarity and crudity that seems to predominate nowadays.
Excellent observation. I notice the cussing and bathroom humor when it there. Don't particularly go for it. Laughing at this and didn't even notice. Good man for pointing it out.
That's one of his trademarks. But he did do a bit once, when I worked for a club in Chicago where he headlined for a week, that was apparently infamous and somewhat of a secret. Every comic in town came to see it, he did it one time, for the midnight show on Saturday. He ends up saying the F word about 14 times but it's such a perfectly crafted joke, about diagramming sentences, everyone was DYING. I was damn lucky to be there to see it, lol.
@@catherineshaw1122 i was trying to say i think his Specials are better then Harts or Seinfelds. much less success . i know he is doing well. its obvious
@@mrpicky1868 have you seen him on the series, Loudermilk? It's a good show and he gets to be funny but also do dramatic work and he's quite good at it.
OK Brian Regan is so funny, and so down to earth and so real! It’s humor that everyone can get! Now imagine trying to thread a needle while you’re laughing so hard your stomach hurts. Warning do not try to sew while listening to Brian Regan!
My 11 y.o. son fell snowboarding yesterday and when we asked him his pain level he said "8" and I immediately thought of this skit. Turns out he did fracture his collarbone but he was good with 3 chewable Tylenol instead of the morphine!
I had to drop my wife off at the door and rush to park. She was in labor. The nurse was waiting for us with a wheelchair. The nurse called and said..... “You better hurry up if you want to be here when this baby gets here”. Within 5 minutes of me being in the room we were holding our baby boy. So I can feel your pain.
In case you wonder if God has a since of humor; I was playing soccer tonight (I’m 31) and I blew my knee out. I’m lying in my bed in pain and this video pops up. Haha
My friend and I were out to dinner and he told me about a recent hospital visit which mirrored this… had to watch it today. Still one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. The Femur guy walking in and the moaning patient next door always does it for me.
Interestingly, both headlined a club where I worked in 1990, and both were my favourites, always will be. Back then, Norm never swore onstage and never drank off stage, until he went out with us after his show one night...i felt like I had corrupted an innocent, lol. The next day, he had to leave the stage halfway through his set to puke, I felt so bad!
@@cecillegravelle2590 the whole week was amazing, I got to see every single set, and hanging out with him until he basically passed out in his hotel room, lol. Priceless. I'm sad he's gone so soon.
"I'll just be lying on the floor" Sounds like me on a hot summer night when we didn't have air conditioning and I ate a bad tuna fish sandwich,and my then-wife couldn't get someone to come cover for her so she could take me to the e.r.
