An insult comic is the title I was given. What I do is exaggeration. I make fun of people, at life, of myself and my surroundings.

Don RicklesPolitical correctness? In my humor, I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.
Don RicklesI never could tell a joke. I just started talking to the audience, and when the drunks would yell, "Hey, when do the broads come on?" I got good at saying, "Relax. Clear your skin up first." They called me "the insult guy," but it's never mean-spirited. I'm just exaggerating everything about us and about life.
