  [laughter] 

• [at the funeral home, making preparations for his father's funeral]

  Christopher Titus : Why? I'll tell you why. 'Cause I went "What?" And the little lid that they open to view it, they put these headress monitor things in, it's a big one about this big. You can play a tribute video to the person in the casket while they're laying in the casket.

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : And all I could think was "My God, my family is so gonna fight over that DVD player."

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : And I said, "That's nice, um, but my dad didn't want to be buried in any metal. Or wood."

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : "Pardon me, sir?"

  Christopher Titus : "Cardboardy-er."

  Christopher Titus : "Excuse me?"

  [laughter] 

• [at his father's funeral] 

  Christopher Titus : And everyone got up and told an honest story about my dad. Not some bullshit "this was the greatest man ever". Here's one of the actual stories from my dad's funeral. He used to go houseboating with a bunch of firemen every year up in Northern California. And they'd get drunk all day and sleep on top of the houseboat at night. Well, at night, instead of using the head in the boat, they'd pee off the top of the boat. Well one night, my dad gets up eight times, hammered, pees off of the top of the boat. They all get up the next morning to look where my dad's been peeing. All night, my father had been peeing off the top of the houseboat...

  [pause] 

  Christopher Titus : into the driver's seat of his own boat.

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : [mockingly holding back tears]  That's a great story, isn't, lady? It's great. It's like he's here right now, isn't it?

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : And there was ten of those stories. So here's the funeral: hysterical laughter, weeping. Hysterical laughter, weeping.

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : And it was beautiful. And offensive. And perfect. And wrong. And then it was over, and everybody went home, and it was just me and my dad.

  [pause] 

  Christopher Titus : [sigh]  So I peed on him.

  [laughter] 

• [on the morning of September 11, 2001] 

  Christopher Titus : And the towers fell, and the first thing that went through my head was my dad's voice: "Well, you brought a new life into the world and the world's over. Nice timing, numbnuts!"

  [laughter] 

• Christopher Titus : This is, verbatim, how I hear my father passed. I pick up the phone, the guy goes "Mr. Titus? Newark Police Department. Your dad's dead."

  [murmurs from audience] 

  Christopher Titus : Yeah, pretty harsh, huh? And I didn't believe it, and I know a lot of comedians, so I said...

  [laughs] 

  Christopher Titus : "Okay, fucker, who is this?"

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : "Sir, it's the Newark Police Department, your dad's dead, don't call me 'fucker'."

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : And although we had been expecting it for a long time, you are never ready for this to happen. And my brain just snapped, and I went into denial, and I said...

  [pause] 

  Christopher Titus : "Poke him."

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : And there's this really long pause. And the cop says "Excuse me?" And I said, "Poke him, he could be dicking with you."

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : And then I said something that was so wrong, and I did not mean it the way it sounded. I said "is the Viper okay?"

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : 'Cause I thought I had given him the death car. I thought he'd flown it off a cliff, I thought he'd wrapped it around a tree, I thought it was my fault. But the cop didn't hear that part of it, 'cause he goes "Sir, the car is fine. Again, it's your dad that's dead. Shall I poke the car, sir?"

  [laughter] 

• Christopher Titus : I have a hot wife, I know that, because every guy that meets her, when she leaves the room, turns to me and goes "Dude, man, if you die... I'm gonna be all over that!"

  [laughter] 

  Christopher Titus : "Thanks, dad."

  [laughter] 

• [at Caesar's Palace after his father's funeral, after deciding he can't fulfil his father's last wishes] 

  Christopher Titus : My sister, who's way crazier than me, walks up to a *packed* blackjack table, pulls out a handful of my father, slaps her hands together, and goes

  [slaps his hands together, as if wiping off dirt] 

  Christopher Titus : "MAGIC DUST!"

  [laughter] 

• Christopher Titus : [to the audience]  So as my three hundred witnesses tonight, let's be very clear. If I am ever brain dead, kill Titus. If I can not control the fluids spewing out of my own orifices, PLEASE kill Titus! If I'm not aware enough to pick which diapers I would like to be changed into, for God sakes kill Titus! - UNLESS... I'm really funny.

• Christopher Titus : Face it, we are a warring people. This country hasn't done better economically or technologically UNLESS we were kicking somebody's ass. And, you know what? It's made us the strongest damn country on the planet EARTH!

• Christopher Titus : [in a story about road raging while his young daughter is in the car]  Now I gotta take her home to her mother, and there's no duct tape in the car, so I went to the Walgreen's and got some benadryl. The seven dollar babysitter!

• [first lines] 

  Christopher Titus : Spinach is deadly! Popeye's a lying bastard.

• Christopher Titus : [on entertaining troops]  I'm onstage in Fallujah, and the base is blacked out. And we're in the show with three hundred and fifty marines and they've got guns with them, like... like during the show. So, if they heckle, I'm just going to go, "You're right."
