Quotes
David Spade: I saw some concerts recently. I saw Leonard Skynyrd at ASU. Getting back to my dirt ball roots. Saw Lynyrd Skynyrd just because I wanted to hear my one favorite song by them. But you know I'm going to sit there for 2 1/2 hours because God forbid they should open with Freebird. There would be some trampling. Wait we got some other stuff. Every song they sing should be called Not Freebird, because that's what it is Here's another one that's not Freebird.
David Spade: This whole stadium is full because of me. And every one of my wildest dreams has come true and I'm a bazillionaire. And I've never been more livid. Everything's horrible. I'm like let me tell you something, friend. If your life sucks, then I'm fucked. Alright? Now sing Radio Free Europe and beat it. And make it sound like it does on the album, no tricks
David Spade: So she comes up after an hour 40. And I go uh hello. Fine quit playing around. Oh wait, I know. I remember what it was. There was a pterodactyl back here. What took you so long? What are you doing up there?

Crazy credits
In the end credits, David Spade extends a special thanks to "my mom and Tom for sitting through this and all the people I took pot shots at that aren't going to fight back and HBO for letting me use the word 'special'".

Funny as Hell

I am not the biggest fan of David Spade, it's the constant smarminess (if that's a word), but I caught this special on hBO a few years ago and I laughed my ass off. He exudes a different type of humor in his stand-up. He pokes fun at himself as a nerd in highschool his family. It is worth taking a look at.
