It’s 2024 and I still listen to Patrice O’Neal and the old O&A show

He was so young...and...so black...

why do i get choked up about a guy i never met, who would hate me and rip me to shreds??

I was lucky enough to be in the front row of the DC Improv 3 times seeing him and every time he asked my girl and I those uncomfortable questions. He asked how I would kill her and I said like Will Smith dog in Legend, I made Patrice laugh which I will never forget.

"We've got a purple suit & a gigantic coffin to buy." Patrice would've loved that line.

the day the man who spoke for funny died.

To date, this is the only celebrity death that has truly made me sad.

still catch myself listening to the old shows, love you Patrice.

This is one of the most beautiful tributes paid to a friend. RIP Patrice.

"He was 14 years old", real Ron Burgundy moment.

"Why are you laughing? She's outraged!"

He changed my life. Without him I would not have have taken certain risks or developed certain perspectives. Still listen to him every week.

This is proof that comedy can help people get through rough times. These guys practice what they preach (anything can be funny). This proves what patrice was trying to say when he was debating that lady on Fox.

Opie is a dork but you can actually tell he’s genuinely upset here. It’s kinda nice to see him being so open and comfortable

Wow. It's been 11 years already. This is how I found out about Patrice. 11 years ago, 10 days before he passed away, I was almost killed by a drunk driver. I was in a trauma center for about 8 or 9 days. Since I had a leg break, my family bought me an iPad which I was apparently getting at Christmas time anyway. But I got it early because I was bedridden or had to be in a recliner all day. That's when I would watch KZfaq a lot and started finding all these little O&A clips and videos. And then just like anyone else, I found myself cracking up during Patrice's relationship talks and all these little burns he and the guys would give each other. But Patrice is always a weird thing for me because I found out about him during this moment of calamity in my life, only accented by the fact that he himself faced the end of his life at the same time. It felt like one of those "almost in the nick of time" moments. I would have loved to go see him one day. My brother got the pleasure of seeing him live.

"I just want to be out there you know? If I talk on the radio, I live. Somewhere....out there in the universe... I just hope someone listens."

RIP Patrice, I would legit give up my left hand to have him here today. The world still needs him in 2023.

Always sad when a 14 year old passed away😢

I started listening to O&A after seeing that video of Patrice having a laughing fit in the studio. People say the show died when Anthony got fired. They are wrong. The show died when Patrice O'Neal died.

Amy Schumer came by to write down the last of Patrice's act she could find.

Black Philip 2020 I am still a fan

I teared up for a man I never knew. All he did was make me laugh, what a legend.

Had Patrice not died he would have be called the greatest comic ever by the time he was done. Greater than Pryor. Just the greatest.

Anthony's inability to deal with his feelings are hilarious.

I discovered Patrice a year before he died after I found Opie and Anthony and the more I grew to love them the more I grew to love Patrice especially. I swear I was in the parking lot of a store in a car just thinking about how funny he was and I remember thinking to myself " I hope he doesn't die in a car accident, he really is special." I knew about his diabetes but I didn't realize how dangerous it was, just like I didn't realize how special he was. I stopped listening to O@A in late September for whatever reason and when I came back in December I found out he was gone. I cried like I have for no one else who I had never met. Only the good ones go young. Listening to him makes me feel like he's still here.

Rest In Peace Patrice

I'm grieving for a man who's been dead for 8 years and whom I never met and have never known when he was alive. Goddamn Patrice is a huge loss in the world. He was the only black man who's racial complaints I'd legitimately listen to because his ideas were authentic to him. There wasn't an ounce of fakeness in him - he lived his life like he wanted to and he's a goddamn role model for all men to emulate.

2023 still grieving for this man. RIP the legend.

13 years later. I was a teenager when I first heard patrice. I'm 37 now. My sense of humor was so heavily influenced by him and I'm finally approaching his age. Trippy. Rip

The worst part about Independence Day: Resurgence is that we can't hear Patrice's critique. I'm sure he would have absolutely eviscerated that film!

Patrice really helped me and made me better, he helped me recover after my marriage ended and id be a sad lump of shit without his wisdom.

See him live a bunch in New York and Boston. Such an experience. Truly the funniest, realist comedian I saw. Saw him, Norton, Vos and Louis a couple times too. I consider myself honored to have heard him live.

14 years old is such a young age to die at

this was the beginning of the end for the boys .. smh this one was hard .. he was the glue

Almost 3 years later I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE HES DEAD. It's like attell said "I felt like I woke up one day and there's not more vanilla"

I still can't believe he's gone. I can't believe it was 5 years ago. I think of him as the most brilliant comic of our time.

Line of the Day @ 2:51:10 by Attell: "But we have a purple suit to buy and a gigantic coffin."

Listening to this on 5/21/24 and still so pissed that we lost him& that he never got the recognition he deserved.

Listened to every o&a rerun featuring Patrice. Don't have anything left to listen to. Finally gathered the balls to listen to anything after his death...

A little choked up 10 years later. Patrice was a true great. Hope he's looking down and sees how much love fans have for him and how big a force he remains even years later.

I listen to Patrice on the show, and I just forget that he ever left us. Then when it’s over, the reality hits me like a bus; and a part of me wants to just start bawling. I miss you Patrice, you were the gatekeeper to the kings of comedy.

2017 and this still makes me want to cry. Long live Black Phillip

I found Patrice oneal this year 2019 and I said the exact same thing i said “he’s dead” I felt so sad and I watch his stand ups shows none stop I wish he still lived on I swear i love him more even though he’s gone. So sad

This video made me tear up a lot of times and I didn't even physically know the guy. Shows what a presence Patrice's voice had on everyone

God damn you can hear the sadness in Jimmy’s voice, love the photo, RIP Patrice

When Joe calls in its so heartwarming, it goes from sadness to gratitude and appreciation. RIP Mr.P

I happened upon Patrice by chance in mid 2012 through Elephant In The Room. After watching the masterpiece of a special, I remember being so happy to have found him. I immediately googled him and was hit with the fact that he had died only months before. And even though I've enjoyed so much of his material since, there's always been that utter sadness and loss since the moment I found him.

I've listened to this whole episode at least 7 times by now...but it always makes me just as sad. There's so many things that go on today that I'd KILL to get his viewpoint on...and I think that given how good his last special/the roast was, maybe by now he'd finally be getting what he deserved as far as money goes...ugh fuckin sucks.

miss you Patrice

Patrice and Norm MacDonald are the only two celebrities I mourned

This was such a loss and I must say that it not only made me sad but it made me angry. One voice out there that kept it honest and real. ONE VOICE! and it had to be silenced so early. Patrice was one of those honest guys who kept it real all the time and everything he said swept away all the layers of social bullshit and fake facades that one has to deal with so much on a daily basis. But still I am glad that all of his stuff is preserved for everyone to enjoy. It's just that he had so much more to offer.

For almost 6 years I listened to every O&A with Patrice. Laughed my ass off so many times!! But I always skipped this episode. Finally 2018 I’m listening to this episode and still can’t believe your gone.... your the greatest Patrice! RIP Patrice!

it's crazy I discovered O and A around 2016, I think, and fell in love with their world. I really began to love Patrice and found out he was dead months afterwards. It was a weird feeling to mourn a guy who was dead for years....

2016 and still listening to this every month... Fucking shame...

2015 and still fucking bummed

2019 and it's as sad as the day it took place. His fans will never forget him and I'm glad there are so many videos with him. RIP Patreeky

What I loved about Patrice the most was the fact, he wasn't afraid to call people out on their bullshit, IN FRONT OF THEM!! .. especially when women tried they're female horseshit on him, he would turn that shit around and fuck them up at their own game, women couldn't beat Patrice .. he was pretty magical doing that shit .. he's the only man I have ever known that can beat a women in an argument (which is not an easy thing to do for most men) .. he would completely shit on a girl and at the end of the day, fuck that same girl he completely embarrassed. Patrice's analogies and understanding of Life, Relationships Dynamics , MEN, WOMEN, Race, Politics, The Business were second to none .. he was a honest philosopher first, comedian, second.. REST EASY PIMP.. Patrice's take on anything was always interesting and funny as hell..

I still come back once in a while just to hear the dave attelle joke, about the purple suit and gigantic coffin

ive listened to this entire thing like 500 times. its so epically brilliant.

I have had my pimp hand made stronger by listening to Patrice,your live show made my father (also diabetic)laugh.Your are the best and to think if it wasn't for me playing Gta4 I wouldn't have discovered you...

I keep thinking Patrice O'Neal is gonna walk into the studio

Patrice with Ant about Trayvon would have been priceless radio, I'm sure.

Sad day, hilarious show. This is the best unbridled comedy I've ever heard! Great!

Im still in denial that hes gone.

Best story ever told.......in history!!!!!...............”it’s cold out here” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

this is my favourite O&A episode of all time. All of his friends who are legendary comics coming in and end up trashing each other

I want to say I liked this vid because I love Patrice. I had never heard of O@A until after Patrice's death, and now am a proper pest for O@A. I was always and will forever be a Patrice fan. Thank You O@A for giving me more of Patrice than I even knew existed. I LOVE YOU O@A FOR THAT

One of a kind for sure. Very underrated. Very.

im crying man smh I been morning this guy for 2 years

I found O+A at such a weird time, maybe about a year and a half before Ants firing. I only got an echo of Patrice right as O + A was also about to die. So glad there's still so much online, but I can't help also feeling a bit robbed that I missed out on so much.

The only possible way through grief is laughter. We must laugh at death.

I will speak for everyone. When we hear Patrice it feels like he's in the room with us. God bless brother. See you soon

This is the best way to remember a friend and legend, not sitting around crying Dave attell’s line was class

fuck knows why but Ants story of Patrice having a Guinness makes me a little teary, you know he really misses his friend

Wow, this episode still hits hard. #RipPatrice

R.I.P Patrice and R.I.P to the Show :(

Can’t believe it’s almost been 8 years. Patrice was the unmatched best

“It’s called the donkey punch!” *off camera laughter from the crew* Just Perfect

3 years has went by so quickly. rip Patrice

You clearly hear in all the guys voices they are so devastated they all, Patrice was a legend one of the smartest and funniest comics to ever live 🙏🏻

I was so happy when Bobby brought up Joe's heavy breathing in the phone. The whole time I was like howww are they not hearing that?

Best professor I ever had. Came here before I finished the archive to just get it over with.

Patrice and Ant talking about Harambe would have been hilarious

I love and miss you Patrice... Because of your countless hours of time on air to this day I'm learning from your words. You'll be missed forever man. We need you now more than ever...

Very little celebrity deaths get to me. But Patrice is a totally different story. It saddens me so fucking much cause he has just influenced my life so much. RIP Patrice, RIP Carlin, RIP Giraldo

patrice o'neal the GOAT

This was really the beginning of the end for O&A I feel. After Patrice passed they never really seemed like they were having fun doing the show anymore, clearly he was a guy who made the studio such a fun place to be. RIP man, gone far too soon.

I feel lucky in the sense that there's some Patrice I've yet to hear or see.

I'm sad as hell listening to this even though I've just recently discovered Patrice through the Black Phillip Show. Now he is right up there with Carlin for me. Goddamn :( Rest in Peace you magnificent beast.

A Patrice O'Neal podcast would have been amazing and he would have found his niche without selling his soul a lot like Rogan I think

The thing I loved most about Patrice was when you got down to it there was no bullshit in him. He called it like he saw it. Agree or disagree ya gotta respect that quality in a person.

Didn't think Derosa could be out-douched 'til Amy walked in. At least Derosa's OCCASSIONALLY funny.

It's crazy how you can listen to the same old Patrice bits over and over and over again and it's still as insightful and hilarious as the first time you heard it. And reading all these comments that show nothing but love for him really shows you how influential and amazing he was as a comic and a person. Fuckin love ya Patrice RIP

13 years later and this one still hurts like it happened yesterday. I miss Patrice so much, I miss O&A, I miss this time in the world.

A huge thank you to all you guys who keep uploading Patrice clips. You are doing the Lord's work

God rest this man's soul, a brilliant comic!

November 29th gotta come back and pay my respects. Rest In Peace Lumumba O’Neal

"Get your rock coat mon" lmao love you Patrice! Miss you man!

Patrice was just so fucking funny man. Crazy to think it’s been almost ten years he’s been gone. He’s one of the greatest of all time without a doubt.

this is so sad even after so many years
