I love blue humor as much as anyone. But DW proves that it is much more difficult to work "clean" while still being hilarious. I only wish that I could have seen him live. Gone far before his time.
One of the greatest comedians of that era. I come back every few years to get my fill again. RIP Dennis Wolfberg. Sometimes, great people die too young.
The absolute hardest I ever laughed in my life was when I saw Dennis' Fiber One bit (1:25 to 2:55) in this special some 25 years ago. Truly a remarkable comic, RIP Mr. Wolfberg.
One of the best comedians of all time. Rarely a curse word; in fact, Dennis shows a remarkable skill with the English language. He conveys picture stories in a vivid fashion with which few of us are familiar. A gloriously funny way to share humor. RIP, Dennis. Indeed, you made my world better by allow me to smile and laugh till I hurt.
I am thrilled beyond belief that I finally found these. I have been looking for anything Dennis Wolfberg for years. Hilarious Still..... timeless...classic...BRILLIANT!
I finally found the genius of Dennis Wolfberg online. I have been looking for videos of this comic genius for years! I miss him very much. God bless him!
I only discovered him about a year ago. What a delivery!! So much fun to listen to! And so entertaining that he can use big words, and not have to swear, to deliver those great punch lines. What a shame he's still not with us.
Saw Dennis in Irvine Ca Improv 1988,I have 3 girls,twins were second batch just like Dennis,but his are boys,so I immediately identified with him.Funniest guy I ever saw.Met him and talked with him after the show.The most humble and genuine person I have ever met....Miss him so much.Hope his boys and mom are doing well.
For 'iralarry': Dennis did have cancer in his colon, but it had metastacized to many of his internal organs, beginning with the skin cancer known as malignant melanoma. His promoter was explaining to the concert manager in my home town, why he had to cancel, after two postponements (I had seen him at this venue once), and I too was despondent...the same disease killed my brother in 1992. Dennis was indeed a BRILLIANT comic...and I actually wept, after hearing that he died, and the reason why...
Saw him live in Indianapolis about 15 years ago with my first wife. I was in tears at least 3 different times during his set. Still goes down for me as one of the funniest to ever live. And so underrated, mostly because video is so hard to come by. A great posting. Thanks!
I remember seeing Dennis on Letterman and many years back,,he is absoultely the funniest ,very excellant, sorry to hear he has left us ,but he will live on in my memories
I had no idea he passed away from cancer - too sad. I only learned about him back then when I saw him on a rerun of 'Just for Laughs' and knew that I had to see him preform. I too caught him live in the early 90s and laughed so hard that my head ached afterwards! It really was his facial expressions that made him so hilarious that gave the right emphasis when he needed it. His colonoscopy bit is probably the hands-down funniest performance EVER... You will be missed Dennis...
Dang, I stumble on him after so many years not seeing him anywhere, and find out he's been dead since '94? I would've sworn up and down I'd seen him a million times since then somewhere on TV. A master at what he did. RIP.
+rongravy Maybe Quantum Leap? He was Gooshie on that show in the final season. He did a lot of stand-up though and he was very funny, especially the way he presented the jokes.
What are the chances Im gonna sprout muffins! I haven't seen this in years but it brings back late night memories of my youth watching this on HBO. Im so sad to hear he passed. RIP Dennis Wolfberg
You Tube is wonderful in that I get to relive great moments in television over and over again. I loved this guy. His humor is hysterical and timeless. I can only imagine how huge his career would have been had he lived.
Does it get any better than this?? No. I remember the first time I ever saw him was on Byron Allen's late night show (yeah, he had one!) and I was screaming!!! I was so sorry to learn of his passing and I hope he his blessed and safe. Even if it was just for a few minutes, he surely made me smile. Love you and miss you, Dennis. The angels must have needed you at home.
Correction: Dennis passed on from Melanoma He was at the beach and stayed in the sun too long...Skin cancer is what killed him.... It's his style of story telling that sells the audience yes the material is good but it's more so the execution...We worked together many times..a truly sweet man...RIP Dennis
I have to suggest that this is the funniest guy who ever lived. I laughed so hard I woke my wife upstairs. I had been wondering recently where he disappeared to and I discovered he died, of colon cancer no less in the early 90's! and I was despondent for days. I went to wiki him and there is no entry, NONE, ladies and gentleman. I feel compelled to start it out. Please, start or add a wiki entry, he so deserves it, so does his family. Such a loss,but the vids are always here. RIP dear man.
Same thing happened to me. The first time I saw his routine on TV I was crashing on my cousin's couch and had the TV on low, but I woke him up downstairs anyway... Like Van Gogh, he apparently was a late bloomer who discovered his genius and worked to perfect it.
The funniest comic of all time! He only lived about four years after this show. His wit, delivery, timing and command of the English language is amazing.
To say this guy was unsung is an understatement . I agree . He's the funniest stand up comic of all time . The strange thing is I try to watch him every few years , but I can't remember his name . I'll search and search until I find him . I'm always rewarded . Truly brilliant .
I was fortunate enough to see Mr Wolfberg on Pat Sajak's late night show... I've tried for YEARS to remember his last name... or to find someone that might have caught his act on the show too... I was shocked to learn of his passing... He was a fabulous comedian... and he will be sadly missed... Cottonclarksa... You posted perfectly!!! he was very well spoken... articulate... & Incredibly funny... So much to appreciate in a comedian!!! I've shared these videos with my children... Hoping they will be as entertained as I am... R.I.P Dennis Wolfberg... Thank you for making me laugh.... & laugh...& laugh...&...
Thanks so much for posting this Toptrotter! Dennis was always one of my favorites and it is so hard to find any of his work around. If you have anymore Dennis video, please post!
I hope I come across the routine he did about the accident with the cab driver ... the punch line was when the driver ... "suggested I perform a particular act upon myself, apparently assuming I was not only hermaphroditic but double-jointed as well" (sorry, not quite verbatim).
His style compelling he used vocabulary so effectively. Ashamed that I lost touch and didn't know of sad demise. Ironic it was colon bearing in mind his wonderful ditty on the topic. Is interesting that of the few comedians I enjoy, Michael McIntyre and Tim Minchin, both have Wolfberg attributes. Delivery (MM) and vocabulary (TM). Will enquire at HMV for dvds but pessimistic. Have re-watched, after 25 years, the vids here and laughed continuously. Yes RIP and thank you.
@iralarry I had the exact same thing happen to me! I was watching it with the headsets on, and I was laughing so hard, I shook the bed and woke her up!
Sad that this medical procedure that he's joking about was probably the start of his diagnosis of Colon cancer that killed him. I wonder if he knew at this time he was dying?
