Recently my brother and i were in his car listening to satellite radio on a comedy station. It was a rather funny bit where the comedian, a man, was talking about going out to eat and the thing from the bit i remember the most was something along the lines of “… our famous bacon bombs stuffed in our deep fried pumpkin with a he-man steak!”

Does anyone know who the comedian is and what album the bit was from? I need to make an Amazon purchase.

Patton Oswalt. I think the bit in question [is here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E728KIq8Zgs).

That is definitely the bit, but that youtube video was slightly different with the wording and it was shorter as well. But i am on the way to Amazon now. Thanks

He recently released “My Weakness is Strong”. It’s pretty good, Werewolves and Lollypops is good too.

Love him, my current favorite.

I hope **Quasimodem** checks this thread, because **twickster** closed his “spin-off” thread.

The comedian you’re looking for, **Quasi** , is Bob Nelson, and he did that routine on [The 9th Annual Young Comedians Special](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451141/), hosted by Rodney Dangerfield and taped in 1984 for HBO.

Not available for sale on DVD, but I know that some people have dubbed copies of it and trade/sell them on ebay and stuff (hint: check the IMDB message board and be careful so you don’t get ripped off).

Thanks, **Bo**! I got a PM from him mentioning HBO, so presumably he saw your post.
