Sorry man, I've read entirely too many threads on "Sankey Quotes" to bother posting in them anymore. Love Sankey's style and he is indeed hilarious, but I can quote most of his dvds in my sleep and at the point when you can do that, it's time to move on!
Still I'll offer one: "If I tell you what I'm going to do before I do it, does that sound fair? (Audience responds 'yes') I'm going to kick you in the head." |

Where are the other Sankey quote threads? I searched, but couldn't find any, so I started this one.

They're not on the Magic Café - don't worry about it. Hopefully some other guys will pitch in. By the way that quote was from Sankey Live if you didn't know.

Yeah, I knew that.

Reminds me of the 25 Anniversary Firesign Theatre Album..
the group and the audience were at times doing the lines at the same time.... My favorite quotes are drawings in his books..... such as zen and the art of the monologue or Zen and the art of comedy. Your Mayo Clinic in the avatar reminded me of the time we quoted lines from Airplane before they came on screen...... or going to late night Rocky (Horror not the boxer) Sankey is now writing in one of the magic mags..Catch him their almost live monthly. Thanks for the food and comedy for thought. Harris

I like this one.
Sir, if you could just sign the card with your name, and put your number down as well...just incase I get a sexual preference change. - Best of Sankey. M:C |

Here's one that came right off of one of the L&L DVDs...
I don't remember the exact quote but he literally called one of the spectators a "retard" right on camera. Nice work Jay! Of course, he corrected himself and then called the guy an idiot. Once again, very impressive. Given that it is an instructional DVD that MANY kids acquire and watch, you'd think he'd have better sense. And in general you'd think he'd have better sense.

Some people can get away with a lot they say...just with the face they make or their intonations afterwards..
If you look at the audience, especially the guy who got called a retard and idiot...no one was offended... everyone was laughing hard I personally think I get away with borderline material in my shows and it flies just fine... Its all in the personality... |

Jay did NOT get away with it and they guy DID look uncomfortable, at least. I guess we can both re-watch and get together for a beer and discuss. Currently I disagree with you that nobody was offended. I thought I noticed quite an uncomfortable moment on the set. I will re-watch to see. Regardless, there's no place for that on an instructional DVD.

Jay uses LOTS of self deprecating humor before he says this.. He felt the crowd was having a good enough time to lay back a little bit and let his mouth slip ONCE, he got a big laugh and used a technique in comedy for an extra laugh, repetition.
I am not saying its right, I am just saying some people can get away with saying very direct things and it fits their character beautifully... This WAS an extreme and perhaps had no place in an instructional dvd... let me know what volume it is Frank... I will watch it again...... |

I'm a huge Sankey fan; the zannier, the more left field he gets the better for me (even though my own peforming humour is pretty middle of the road) but I have to agree with Frank that Jay went too far and did NOT get away with it. I think the guy (Jon?) was embarrassed and uncomfortable. I'm amazed & perplexed that Sankey & L&L did not edit that bit out. An error of judgement to keep it in the final cut, let alone to have said it in the first place. We can all ad-lib in a way we regret (thought not this badly I hope), but to not let that bit hit the editing room cutting floor is a profound error that I find hard to take because it dimminishes a little my view of a guy for whose Art I have a lot of love and respect for.

Go to a comedy club...you'll probably be called worse than a retard.
Come to my show you might get called worse than a retard. But I pick my victims pretty carefully. It's all good fun. M:C |
