People come up to me and say, "Emo, do people really come up to you?"

If you haven't ever seen or heard comedian Emo Phillips, there's probably no way I can accurately describe him to you.  He's quirky and peculiar and strange and geeky and very, very funny. 

Emo Phillips at a Glance 

Emo Philips (born Phil Soltanec) is an American entertainer and comedian born in the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove.Emo Philips - IMDB Biography Much of his standup comedy stems from the use of paraprosdokians and garden path sentences spoken in a wandering falsetto tone of voice and a confused, childlike delivery of his material to produce the intended comic timing in a manner invoking the 'wisdom of children' or the idiot savant.

The funniest things Emo Phillips has ever said! 

funniest as decided by me

Some mornings it just doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps.

I go from stool to stool in singles bars hoping to get lucky, but there's never any gum under any of them.

Probably the toughest time in anyone's life is when you have to murder a loved one because they're the devil.

My girlfriend said, "Emo, I'm seeing another man." I said, "Well, try rubbing your eyes or something."

E=MO2/Live at the Hasty Pudding Theatre 

There's not a lot of albums out there of Emo's comedy stuff. Somewhere around here I've got his first album, which originally came out in 1985, and it's on cassette tape. (eek, I'm old)

Here is that first album along with a recording of his legendary show at the Hasty Pudding Theater.

more great quotes from Emo 

I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this.

Well, my brother says Hello. So, hooray for speech therapy.

I got a letter from the IRS. Apparently I owe them $800. So I sent them a letter back. I said, "If you'll remember, I fastened my return with a paper clip, which according to your very own latest government Pentagon spending figures will more than make up for the difference.

I was the kid next door's imaginary friend.
