She took the one about the poltergeist or something where you are having sex with a woman in a dark room, leave the room, let your friend come in and do his thing and then you wave to the woman outside of the window.

It was a bunch of sex jokes starting with the angry pirate, and a few others. But she used a few other jokes as well. I know Schumer writes with her sister, so it might not have been her that stole it, but she must have known, which is bad.

is this the one where Amy Schumer made fun of him being fat and having diabetes and dying before his time?...i hated that she said that and he ended up dying shortly after.....:mjcry:
Nah that was the roast of Charlie Sheen I believe, that had Patrice as one of the comics

Right now he and Katt Williams would have been the two best comics going. I would have loved to hear his opinion on Cancel Culture and Trump
I always say Patrice really did himself a disservice by not playing the "black" circuit more...he could have been as big a name as Katt or maybe bigger

Crazy how they shyt on Bill Burr for playing black rooms when thats what put him over in the long run...The Two biggest Names to come outta that Crowd are Kevin Hart and Bill Burr....and both played(and Killed) in the "Black" rooms:wow: funny how that turned out:mjpls:

He talked about this before. He was too offensive to a lot of that crowd. If you look at his material he really wasn't similar to what was going on in the black circuit and was more simpatico with people like Norton, Quinn, Vos etc.

He also had a smart, anthropological kind of style that probably turned a lot of people off because they just didn't get it. Like you mention Katt who is funny, but not an intellectual comic - the venn diagram crossover in audience between him and Patrice would be a slither.

But he ultimately screwed himself. He would talk about being given chances to work in Hollywood and other things and he would not be able to "play the game". From him cursing out t.v execs or not being friendly to co-hosts on some of the shows he was on, he sabotaged himself a lot. Most people in those places do not like each other, but will put on a face to work in that world. He admitted he was not doing the right thing and he started to correct it right around the time of "Elephant in the room", but he died shortly after.

It is the same type of thing i see with Corey Holcomb. Funnier than a lot of people in Hollywood but he is always putting his foot in his mouth or starting shyt with people that could help him, or turning away the people that could help him.

The main reason tho is Colin Quinn has an in-depth and seemingly obsessive knowledge of black culture...the man knows wayyyyy to much about us, so when he writes racist jokes and jabs them shyts can be really infuriating and have me sitting back like:gucci:" How The fukk you even know about that?"
Patrice broke him down about this one time on Tough Crowd. :russ:

I mean it was funny to hear him trashing BJ Novak's big head and shyt like that but he would have been great in more eps of the office if he could have played nice.

I think he was about to break through if he'd have lived. He was figuring out the industry, and he would have had his own TV show by now. He would have probably had a successful podcast as well.

This story is classic Patrice O'Neal..being captivating and entertaining..but also inadvertently burning a bridge in the process:to:

If i got the timeline right, he was denied entry into Canada for revealing this smh. I guess they never ran a background check on him before maybe...but yea, he said on O&A he had to turn back around and drive all the way home:to:
