Back when Steve Martin was still funny...

...he made this little gem. It's only 7 minutes long so stick with it until the end. It's worth it. It's like one of those jokes that you want to walk away from in the middle of it but you're glad you didn't.....

The Absent Minded Waiter



From the very tired waiter......

If you are looking for me I'm at work, then I'll be at Boxer's party...(the drunk in the corner, slurring his words and hitting on everything that moves....classy)

I'll see you there, Manuel. I'll be the one standing very, very still.

Peace,

Lard omlette: bleurgh.
She looked pretty.

Hope you're not too exhausted, Manuel.

I love this skit - I think I've watched it a hundred times and I actually recite parts of this to customers at times... usually no one understands what the hell I'm talking about.

Buck Henry is genius.

Manuel - your Wayterz have NOT come back from their 2 hour smoke break and my guests are getting riled.

Dennis! Come on over..... Everyone's welcome.

Brilliant! Love Buck Henry, too. See you at Anonymous Boxer's party. By the way, twenty-five years ago, I had two cats, Polly and Sybil.

I think Steve Martin totally sucks now. What the hell was he thinking making a movie promoting fucking all the time and pooping out 12 kids? That is so George Foreman. I think he's lost it. Steve was the best on SNL.

AB didn't sit us at the same table. Pfft. She says it's strategic. She must think I like the smell of cheese. Ahh well, I'm off to harass everyone at your table now anyway.

Now that's a great way to dine.

Speaking of things Steve Martin starred in back when he was funny, I was just talking to someone who had never seen The Jerk. I was a bit surprised at that. I thought everybody had seen The Jerk.

Upset Waitress said...

Everybosy who is anybody HAS seen "The Jerk" Minnow. And those that haven't are just shallow priviliged assholes that are too good for great humor. That's one of my favorites. A honkey thinking he had a black ass for 40 years til he moved out. Loved it. Haha!!!

That was 7 minutes of torture. What were you thinking Manuel!? I'd rather have my balls scrubbed with a wire brush!
Think he was funnier in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

boneman said...

Yes, Steve Martin at youth....
funny
I've been trying to get through his book, "Pure Drivel" but everytime I get comfortable with it, I have to go chop more wood.

Not now, though, as I'm visiting from the party.
Some party, eh?
And, for a special treat, I hear Steve Martin is waiting tables there.
I've been trying to read his book, "Pure Drivel" but, everytime I get started on it, I have to go chop some wood.
But, not right now, eh?

Happy Holidays from Indiana

Dave: WRONG!!

Boneman: How do...have you been drinking with Upset Waitress?
