Lewis Black/YMMV

• Acceptable Targets: From the government to his fellow Jews, all's fair game.
  • "How our government works...it doesn't."
    • "The Republicans are a party of bad ideas, and the Democrats are a party of no ideas."
    • "What's the difference between a Democrat and a Republican? A Democrat blows, a Republican sucks."
  • "I would love to have the faith to believe that the world was created in seven days... but I have thoughts... and that can really fuck up the faith thing, just ask any Catholic priest."
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: When he was being interviewed on CNN, he yelled at them about the constant news "crawl" and told them to take it off the screen. For a moment, they actually did.

"There's people talking here!"

• Harsher in Hindsight: In one of his televised stand-up performances (not The Daily Show), Lewis Black related an incident in which he was on the New York City subway: the loudspeaker announced there was a bomb threat and asked the passengers to calmly exit the train. Nobody moved because no one took it seriously. He went on to say: "Who would be stupid enough to terrorize New York? It's redundant." Cue The War on Terror.
