Excuse me.
Excuse me?
I know you.
Don't I know you?
No.
Hey, hey, hold that door!
You cold? You need something
to warm you up?
No. You know what you can do,
you can burn this whole
down so I don't have to do
this f***ing nostalgia night.
Prepare yourself,
it's not as big
a house as they thought.
See the marquee?
It's like
Night of the Living Dead.
I should fire you for this.
Then you'll get a gray hair
in a place you thought
God would be nice enough
to just leave alone.
I'm liking menopause.
Makes me surly.
Jackie B.
Hey.
Jimmie Walker.
Jackie. Jackie Burke.
Man, thanks for coming.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks for having me.
Hey, look. Small crowd,
but they're very, very lively.
Well, you know,
I can play to one person.
Sometimes I play with myself.
Heh. Jackie.
It's a family audience.
- Good.
- You do one joke
about a gray snatch hair.
So you find the gray hair.
And then he said, " You know
you have to brush this on."
Which, oh, Quelle surprise,
I thought I'd just shake it up
pour it down
till it quit burning,
have a hot apple pie.
It's like I'm an addled girl.
He goes, "You have to sit there
with your legs apart
for a half hour."
"Sweetheart, I'm from Alabama,
how do you think we got
the fence painted?"
That's my proudest joke.
You're the best under fire!
We love you, Grace!
Miss Brett Butler!
How you doing?
If I ever do one of these
again, shoot me.
Don't worry. I'll do us both
with one bullet.
We got a guy coming on now.
A legend, ladies and gentlemen.
Hickory Dickory Dock,
I got to roll back the clock.
That's right.
Because we are ready
when he was on TV
there was no electricity.
When he was on TV, Little House
on the Prairie was just a shack
ladies and gentlemen.
He is devastating.
What am I getting for this gig?
You get a percentage
of the door.
So that's $11 and a burger.
Your commission's gonna be
a f***ing pickle.
Sure. Like always.
The man that you know
from the hit sitcom
Eddie's Home.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's put our hands together
for Eddie.
Arlene.
Eddie, look.
I carved a pumpkin.
Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.
- Arlene, when son decides...
- We love your hair.
To dress up like a ballerina
it's no longer about
trick-or-treating.
Eddie, he's only 11 and a half.
Give him a chance to
find himself.
He needs to explore.
- Arlene. Arlene.
- Explore.
Arlene!
Mr. Jackie Burke
is in the house,
ladies and gentlemen.
You staying?
Yeah. I'll drive you home.
Jackie Burke is here.
Holy cow.
Eddie's home!
Give it up.
Give it up for
JJ "Dyno-f***ing-mite" Walker.
black might not crack,
but it definitely decomposes.
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
I know a lot of you are here
because you love Eddie. Yeah.
Well, I have bad news for you.
- Eddie died.
- Aw.
Yeah.
Yeah. He died a long time ago,
30 years ago
along with my career
and Brett Butler's eggs.
Oh.
Let's talk about this
abortion of a town you live in.
Hicksville!
How did they ever come up
with a name like "Hicksville"?
I looked up "Hicksville"
on Wikipedia.
It said "inbreeding"
and "crystal meth."
So why don't you change
your name
to something more pleasant
like Somalia?
But don't worry, Hicksville.
When you grow up,
you, also, can change your name.
I changed my name.
I wasn't always "Jackie."
When I was born, my parents
named me, you know what? Jakov.
No!
Jakov Berkowitz.
Yeah. That's right.
It's that big, girls.
I mean, even the Jewish kids
beat me up
with a name like that.
Uh, can I help you all
with something, huh? Huh?
What's going on here?
Bachelorette party!
Bachelorette party! Oh!
Eight girls sharing one brain.
Who's the lucky girl?
I am.
Don't look so happy, sweetheart.
Right now, your fianc's in a
strip club licking whipped cream
out of some girl's a**hole.
Hey, come on, don't get sad.
I'm just breaking your balls.
You're getting married
to one dick
for the rest of your life.
What could be more exciting
than that?
Yay!
Oh, my God, Jackie.
You shouldn't do marriage jokes.
O.J. Simpson was
It's not about you, you selfish
bastard. It's about them.
Keep it light and fun
and positive.
Marriage will suck every speck
of life out of your soul
until there's nothing left
but one big, giant,
festering sore.
Good luck. Heh.
It's not just me. I don't think
humans were meant to be married.
I mean, you want a relationship?
Get a canary, get a fish.
Get a f***ing chicken.
Get a dog.
A dog is always happy
to see you.
A dog doesn't judge you.
The dog is just there.
I'm late, my dog's like,
"Hey, Jackie, no big deal."
I forget to feed him, "It's
okay, Jackie. I'm a fat f***.
"I gotta lose some weight.
It's all right."
I come home smelling like p*ssy,
and he doesn't get mad.
He just wags his tail
and licks my fingers.
Enough of this "dog" sh*t!
Come on, do "Eddie."
Not now, pal, please.
Can you help me out?
Yeah. No. I didn't come here
to hear new sh*t.
- I came to see Eddie.
- Shut up.
Hey, Hodor, shouldn't you be
down at the playground
luring kids into
a windowless van?
Hodor!
Hey, I'm the audience.
You're here to entertain me.
You work for me.
Oh...
You hear that? I work for him.
All right, boss, how about you
give me an early Christmas bonus
and tongue my balls.
Calm down. You chose this
career, you f***ing idiot.
You could've been
a doctor or a lawyer
but you chose to beg
drunken strangers
for love and attention.
Just try to make everyone happy,
so you can go home and jerk off.
Hey, look, man. I don't
wanna fight. Let's be friends.
Can someone do me a favor,
get a drink for this guy
and a bag of oats for his wife.
Bullshit.
You getting this, Amy?
I don't want that sh*t
in our webisode.
Webisode? Your sh*t? What web...?
What the f*** are you doing?
Welcome to Stand-Up Take Down.
Webisode 19.
What you doing?
Are you taping me?
This is my show, old man.
I'm here to take you down.
Give me that.
No, you give me that mic.
Take me down?
What are you doing?
Wanna go joke to joke with me,
Eddie?
Take your hands off my mic.
You wanna dance? Let's go.
Let go of the mic.
This is my show, buddy.
You getting this, Amy?
This is my show.
You're the joke, old man.
You're the f***ing joke.
You want the mic? You want it?
Yeah.
Oh, sh*t! Baby!
What is wrong with you?
You crazy bastard!
Oh, my God, are you okay?
And I'm here to take you down.
What the f*** are you doing,
my friend?
Give me that goddamn.
No, you give me that mic.
Your Honor,
as you can clearly see,
Mr. Severin grabbed
Mr. Berkowitz first.
Mr. Berkowitz warned Mr. Severin
several times to desist,
and he refused.
Wanna go joke to joke with me?
Let go of the mic.
Let go of the mic.
You're the joke, old man.
Any objection to probation?
