“Only people who are finished in the business can give you the interview you’re hoping for” is a really great line from Patrice.

One of the best jokes I ever heard was from Patrice. "Found out I was diabetic when my girlfriend said my piss tastes like birthday cake."

We could all use a friend like Patrice. To defend your friend when the rest of the business is using him as a punching bag is loyalty at its finest.

"realizing you're never gonna get there and you better settle on something" I felt that line hard lol

“You look like Andy Dufrane sanding a boat” 😂

The way Patrice can start off roasting you HARD and then completely turn it around and boost your confidence and make you feel good is my favorite. & his deep rooted honesty with people that aren't expecting it at all is like no one elses. Fuck I really wish he was still around.

"hey guys, how's it going" *gets roasted* "alright guys, nice seeing ya" lmfao

Patrice was the shit. He is missed.

Marc Marron looks like a white Katt Williams

Patrice calls Maron a “Slick white guy” 😂

The comedy world really needs Patrice right about now. He was so underrated. You have to respect how he always kept it real.

Patrice is a national treasure.

Respect to Patrice for defending his friend and peer he came up with .

"Marc looks like he lives on a beach that his friend owns" haha @ Patrice. Miss you my friend

Gotta respect Patrice. If he's got a problem with you he'll say it to your face. Can't say that about most people.

It's 2020 and Patrice just made me spit coffee on my monitor screen. RIP to the GOAT.

When Jimmy said his age in this clip (42yrs) it was a reminder that we all lost Patrice not long after this clip. That was a great time for the O&A show. I had just found these guys a few years prior & all of the comedians I discovered or got to know better when they'd sit in on the show for hours is mind blowing.

Patrice O' Neal was one of the funniest men to live. The stories about him and other comedians holding other comedians to the fire in 'Hack Court'

"He's dressed like he lives on a beach that one of his friends own"

"He just won't get that San Fracisco bullshit outta his system...." God, Patrice nailed it. As Always.

Thanks for taking the time to upload all these videos. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING HIS GREATNESS ALIVE THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Man, Patrice just needed a few more years and he'd have really made it.

The world didn't deserve a comic like patrice in his time, but we need one like him now... like a comedy batman.

In retrospect, Patrice focused a lot on Maron's health, which means he knew his own condition and longed to have his health back.

R.I.P. O'Neal and Hedberg.

"Andy Dufresne sanding a boat" 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

2020 needed Patrice. RIP.

I miss Patrice.

Patrice a legend who was taken away from us too early. R.I.P. Patrice thank you for all the content it has helped me tremendously and helped me laugh and learn, thanks so much.

oh man I got into Patrice way too late.. GREAT GREAT COMIC MAN. when he talked about how a Sikh will defend someone elses shop to the death.. breaking a mop in half to tackle a robber 'UUGGHHR!!!' LMFAO!

Patrice was inspirational in his his honesty alone. Everyone I meet that doesnt know him, I show them, and EVERYONE becomes a fan. The man broke all boundaries

I feel bad for Marc that he lost his GF after she passed away. To find love and to lose it so quickly. He's a strong man for maintaining his sobriety.

That San fransisco line from Patrice.. So true lmao 😂 Haven't seen this clip in a long while, man he is missed! RIP, wish he was here in 2021 🙏💜

Everytime Patrice speaks you can learn something. So brilliant

Surprisingly open and frank, one of the deepest and most mature conversations from a group of stand up artists ever.

“It was raging the other day, I had to punch my girl in the back of the head” Fuckin Patrice man, I’m still laughing

Every few years I fall into the rabbit hole of Patrice, Artie, Farley, and Norm videos! Patrice will always be one of the greats.

😂😂😂 "you're really a slick white guy" love Patrice

I fell in love with comedians and stand up comedy when I was 10 years old. My step father gave me two Richard Pryor specials he had on vinyl. We watched Eddie Murphy Raw together when it first aired. Yeah, it was fun to tell those jokes to your classmates and get in trouble, but the core was my awe of these bodies of work. Vicious Circle came out when I was around 30. Laughed my ass off. I knew the level of humor to be expected. It was a blast. With age and time in the world, you learn more about the pain and tragedy behind great comedians. Learning of the Hicks/Leary theft. Greg Giraldo's tragic death. Chappelle's meltdown. With the exception of Mencia's destruction, it was a lot of reality to take in as a fan. Norm MacDonald is the only comic that I may irrationally defend, but I'm cool with admitting that. I fell in love with the anti-humor stuff: Neil Hamburger, Tim & Eric. It struck a chord. Pulling in this rambling thread: the Dane Cook revelation was more disappointment than anything else. I don't get up in arms about Schumer because it feels like spinning wheels in the mud. More than enough have that covered, it seems. Enjoy your favorites while you can. I wish I had been up on Patrice while he was alive. Don't let the hacks and bullshit stamp out your funny bone. Life is hard enough as it is to lose that. Don't slay each other in the comments. Crack a smile, brethren. :)

Marc was hating on Dane. Bravo to Patrice for standing up for Dane. Best comic ever. R.I.P big guy

we need Patrice right now. I miss him :(

Jimmy: “why can’t you take a viagra?” Patrice: “because of my heart” :-(

Marc Maron looks like an unkept Ned Flanders

Man that was one hell of a confrontation, whoa baby, serious stuff.

Patrice might be the most natural comedian ever. Him and Burr are the kind of guys who you're always laughing around. The things they say, the way they say shit. All of it.

Patrice O’Neal was a comedic genius.

“You’re a real slick white guy”. I’m gonna use that a lot from now on

Patrice was the man. RIP, big guy.

I would really have enjoyed hearing Patrice’s point of view on today’s climate. He was always so informed and wrapped truth in something so hilarious. RIP Patrice. You are missed. And your refreshing point of view is severely needed and missed.

I'm so glad I got to see Patrice regularly back when I was into going to comedy clubs at least once a week back in the day. To me he was one of the greats and it sucks that he didn't get recognized by an audience as large as the one he has now that he's gone while he was still alive. He was just one launch vehicle away from being up there with the top guys(earners) in the business. At the clubs you would assume he was already one by the amount of love and respect he was shown by the other comedians, most club owners and managers and the people that would come out to see him. He did things on his own terms which added to his greatness but also held him back from dominating in the mainstream. Kevin hart is the perfect example of what can happen if you have a great team around you, a strong work ethic and the willingness to play the politics of the game because he's really not anywhere near the natural talent level of a lot of guys but he's smart, is willing to play the game, etc saw an opening with the huge vacuum that Dave chapelle left in his wake when he disappeared and struck at just the right moment and now he fills arenas and makes wildly successful big budget films with actors like the rock.

Anyone notice how Opie kept trying to get Marc out of there ? Even though it was starting to get interesting he kept saying let's get Marc in tomorrow.

Marc looks like Zappa if he had faked his own death for a new ID.

Patrice O'Neal on The Office was funny. Even if he was only in 3 episodes, it seemed like he was there for the entire 9 seasons.

Patrice did end up going on Marc Marron's podcast, and it's fantastic; A lot of what he says does end up on his last special, _Elephant In the Room._

Opie mentioning that everything is moving toward podcasts is eerie.

Dane been saying recently he took Patrice advice and stayed true to himself

This is the second time I've heard this in 3 months, and it's just as great.

Patrice respected Marc and that was enough for me.

"drop my name" LOL

The end of this conversation is something I will never able to unhear! Ha ha

Starts talking about Dane at 7:25

Todd Barry getting a name drop...dude is underrated too

"He's not deep and he's not interesting." Hahahahahaha

I'm so glad I downloaded the complete archive of Patrice's episodes of O&A. I don't know if it is even up online anymore.

"Like an old bible weapon" Okay, I'm using that.

Patrice always worrying about other people, telling Jim to get his heart checked. RIP Mr. P

Patrice and Marc are hilarious together.

Patrice was a national god damn treasure

I saw Dane Cook around 1999 -2000 at a club in Houston. It was an AWESOME show. It wasn't joke, joke, joke. It was more like one long really interesting, funny, heart warming, intense, mind blowing story. We actually leapt to our feet to give him a standing ovation.

Ask any comic and Patrice was Loved and alrdy a Legend in the rooms an among damn near everyone in the comedic world.. shame he didnt blow up in his time, wasnt until a year or two after his death that ppl were and still are coming to the conclusion that he's one of Comedic Greats, just wish he could've lived to see the impact he's had on the comedy scene. So ahead of his time. RIP Patrice... One of the Greats..

Patrice O'Neal, amazing mind

I miss the candidness of Patrice. I miss Giraldo for the same reason. 💔

I wish we had Patrice on a podcast every week today

I wish Patrice knew that so many people loved and cherished him. He thought not many people knew him but only the people that mattered knew him. He was more than a comedian he was a prophet and one hell of a life coach. My biggest regret is never getting to meet him or see him live. One of the biggest things I took from his advice is to be righteous and be careful what you owe.

"Patrice also gives credit to Marc for being one of the-most-stolen-from -and-influential-comedians-of-that-era along with Dave Attell, Todd Barry, Mitch Hedberg and Colin Quinn." @ They're all Beasts, GOATS.

this was awesome to listen to. ty

Patrice's face in the picture is how he was looking at Maron

PO always kept it 100, and funny!

“Andy Dufresne sanding a boat” 🤣🤣🤣

“see how that bombed? you are DONE” 😂😂😂

I love this. And I'm amazed. Maron is so honest as a person Patrice respects him 10 fold.

Dane cook shows at the garden where really good let's not lie

Marc has ALWAYS been salty of other comedians success, wether you like that comic or not. Even going back to Colin Quinns old show, Marc has always been petty and passive aggressive towards other people’s success.

Put the date of this recording in the notes

Impossible not to love Patrice. The best !

Norton's drop my name is classic

Props to them for sticking up for Dane and not dogging him out like a bunch of bandwagoners.

We lost the hero we needed ten years ago. RIP Patrice!

Patrice. Respect, brethren.

I like Maron’s podcast but never found his stand up funny in the least. Same goes with Rogan

The belch at 18:29 😂🤣😂🤣

haven't heard this one before, left me in stitches lmao

People always say Dane cook was never funny, but that isn’t true. People just hated how he blew the hell up so fast and a lot of his fans were annoying. If he was a semi famous road comic or just a local comic people would be talking about how underrated he is but he rocketed to fame overnight and was put in movies and started selling out stadiums so he was overly criticized and all his jokes were put under a microscope his success surpassed his skill and he was destroyed by it. I feel bad for the guy.

God man I miss Patrice so much rest in paradise my guy 😔

"Maron looks like he is on the beach of an island one of his friends own." Could that be Little Saint James Island?

6:16 “The world is going toward the podcast”. Big facts

Every era need a Patrice to say important shit as it is, in a funny way! Who is next? I can't see anyone close. Maybe Chapelle or burr but, they are from his era, we need new good blood in comedy!

Uncommon amongst uncommon people award goes to (in no particular orde) Richard Pryor George Carlin Norm McDonald Patrice O'Neal Dave Chappell Eddie Murphy Chris Rock Feel free to add to the list

I fell in love with Dane's stand up after I heard Shark Rock. 🤣

Andy Dufresne sanding a boat.
