Reply to comment by CanaConnoisseur in Blue Room's "Old Man Willy" has been a staple in the Springfield comedy scene for years by [deleted]

Some excerpts of his:

“I was walking down the street and I saw a young woman with her breast hanging out, and I said ‘ma’am, your breast is out!’ And she said ‘oh shit I left my baby on the bus!’”

“I got lucky last night yes I did encourages crowd to cheer my roommate got drunk and fell asleep with his mouth open”

“I was having breakfast the other day and I asked the waitress if she knows the difference between a teabag and a tampon, and she said ‘no I don’t’, so I says I’ll have the coffee then”

“I saw a waitress with a tampon behind her ear and I said ‘ma’am you’ve got a tampon behind your ear’, and she says ‘I’ve been wondering where my pencil is’”

You know what you guys are right, we should all hate this 90 year old man for doing what he loves because we disagree with is content.

What is this world coming to when you can't even let comedy happen. Have you ever thought that maybe this guy is literally from a different time and place. People use to have respect for their elders. I get this old man and what he is trying to do which is make people laugh.

I really don't feel bad for enjoying his sets and anyone that tries to make anyone feel bad for it, is genuinely not a good person. ITS FUCKING COMEDY maybe you should try laughing sometime. Like are you people that fucking mad that people like Old Man Willy?

Yeah I’m not saying he’s not a nice guy, I’ve talked to him numerous times. What I am saying is that his comedy is too off-color and cringey for me. Some people like it (and some people like to eat fast-food seafood in the middle of Missouri) but that’s not something I am fond of. My commentary is on his sets, not his actual character.

Glad you enjoy it though.

There is enough reasons to be upset about being alive in this world, personally Old Man Willy is not on my list. I really feel for the people who have him on there's. Let the old man tell jokes.
