Is anyone else in love with him? I thinks he's one of the funniest comedians ever, though it did take me ahwile (about 1 hour) to find his entertaining. What I really like about him is that his topics are quite smart. He uses a lot of history for his gigs. The man seems quite learned. What also adds to the hilarity is the fact that he runs around in heels and a dress! He's an executive transvestite! A male lesbian, as he calls it.

Who else is in love?

((Oh, and if you choose to youtube him to find out about him, just know that he sometimes swears.))

I've been a fan of Eddie for many years. He's funny, smart, sexy and completely random. He absolutely cracks me up something fierce.

I saw Dress to Kill on BBC America at 3 AM a few years ago, and have loved him ever since.

My favorites have got to be puberty, the Church of England, Stonehenge, learning French, and the Death Star Canteen.

YES! The Death Star Canteen is awesomeness.
I love his take on the Greek myths as well.

"Cake or death?

I'll have cake please...."

And "The national rifle assosiation says things like "guns don't kill people, people do", but I think the gun helps."

But I haven't heard the Death star canteen (Although I heard him as Darth Vader telling Luke that his force was "as strong as a small pony) or the puberty one.

I also love the evil giraffe. "I'm an evil giraffe. I will eat all the leaves, and other giraffes may starve. Hahahaha!"

Its so unfair when a guy can run around in heels better than I can. If I tried to move on stage like he did wearing those heels, I would fall flat on my face.

Cake or Death & Evil Giraffe

You gotta look out the Death Star Canteen...aw hell it's hilarious.

^ I love the learning French part too. It was especially funny because I'm learning French right now in the same way, and thinking the same thing!
"The first page I learned in French was full of things that are very hard to get into a conversation. Things like, 'The mouse is under the table'... 'The cat is on the chair' ... 'The monkey is on the branch'... very hard to get into a conversation! Not a lot of jungle in France!"
But it's very impressive how he goes on and on in French!

He's so funny! I saw him interviewed on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart last summer. Just in this interview for Ocean's 13, he was hilarious! He kept teasing Jon Stewart about the revolutionary war... "And you won! And it was great! And you call it the Revolutionary War, and we call it 'eh, what was that?'"

My favorite parts of his stand-ups:
"Hitler never played Risk when he was a kid..."

"(Again on Hitler) And he was a vegetarian and a painter! So he must of been like 'Can't get these trees... Darn! I will kill everybody in the world!'"

"Somebody kills someone: that's murder, you go to prison. If you kill 10 people: you go to Texas, they hit you over the head with a brink, that's what they do. Kill 20, they put you in a hospital and stare at you through a little window forever. Over that... we can't even deal with it! You kill 100,000 people... we're almost going 'Well done! You killed 100,000 people? You must get up very early in the morning!'"

"We stole countries with the cunning use of flags!"

"The founding fathers landed in 16-hmthh-... they started from Plymouth and landed in Plymouth! How lucky is that?!"

"You say 'erbs,' we say 'herbs' because there's an h in it!"

I'm just watching the Church of England one, and he's hilarious!
"The free Presbyterians, the locked-up Presbyterians."


Never heard of him before in my life, and now, I'm glad I did.
