I fucking love Patrice O'Neal especially when he was always on Tough Crowd with Colin Quin. That was the best show on television ever (besides The Wire of course).
Anyway... the funniest shit I saw Patrice O'Neal do was on one of his HBO standups and talking about how black people always "want to go back to Africa to visit" but was saying that Africans HAAAAATE african americans. He then went on to say something like "Why the fuck would I want to go there anyway? So I can fight in some fucking cival war, walking around with a machete and wearing tuxedo pants with no shirt?"
Sucks. He was probably my favorite comedian. His insight into human nature was so spot on and he would always find a hilarious way to express it. Could be real vicious but he could also take it just was well as give it, which is why he's always so good on OnA. It's real creepy listening to segments of him on the radio because he very frequently would talk about his health and dying.
