He is way too fucking funny, but my co-workers don't get him, but I am making them watch it anyway

1. I worry about people who don't get him.
I always wonder if there's some sort of defect, or perhaps a brain tumor at work....

Do you have a banaaaaaaana?

3. Izzard Rocks!
I love the fact that he was in such a lame-ass movie like "The Avenegers" and his only words spoken on screen were " OH, FUCK!" Strangely, it was the best point of the movie.

4. I just sent 'Dress to Kill' back to Netflix
If Eddie's not the funniest human on the planet, I dunno who is.


"Come on, Europe, give these countries back. Come on, we just had a bloody war; let's give 'em back. Britain?"

"Wha'?"

"What's that behind your back?"

"Oh, it's India and a number of other countries."

"Give 'em back."

"Oh, all right. There's that one there, and there's that one…”

“Falkland Islands?”

“Oh, we need the Falkland Islands... for strategic sheep purposes!"


:rofl:

7. What is even funnier
Is when he is with an American audience and he makes fun of them whenever he cites some historical figure that "you have no idea who he is!"

9. Ain't that the truth? LOL.
I remember the first time I saw Dressed to Kill. I was amazed at the homework he had to do, just to put on a comedy show. Too bad history wasn't that fun when I was in school. NOW it's interesting. Back then it was boring facts. LOL.
