OK, I’ve seen him referenced here on the dope before. He does this routine about what different ethnic stereotypes would taste like (if you were to eat them). He ends the routine with What would white people taste like? You don’t eat white people, that’s not funny! ---

Googled the punch line and what turns up is Daniel Tosh. > **[Daniel Tosh - Wikiquote](https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Daniel_Tosh)** But if you had to eat people to survive, do you think they’d taste like their ethnic backgrounds? You can get as uncomfortable as you want, we’re gonna do this joke. Think Mexican people are spicy? Do you have to have chips and salsa before you bite into Jose or can you just dig in? I know, guacamole’s extra! I’m doing everybody. Chinese people: Are you hungry again thirty minutes later for more? Black people: Get ready, mmm-hmm, taste like chicken. White people: You don’t eat white people. I don’t make the rules. That’s how that joke has to end. That him? Or just someone using the joke? ---

[QUOTE=don’t ask] I thought the OP said he was a comedian…you know…funny. [/QUOTE] The actual joke/funny bit is after what was quoted: > [@](#): > > Do you at least understand why I end the joke that way? Because it’s so funny to make a room full of white people uncomfortable? “You see we laughed at black people taste like chicken because we kind of thought you’d be tossing one in our direction. And now you’ve pretty much hung us out to dry.” [(around 3:46)](http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoID=1524272258) ---

The one time I saw Tosh I couldn’t stop laughing. He’s got really good timing. ---

OK, I’ll bother to ask this now: My bro remembers some comedian who ended his little stories or lines with “I’m so miserable”. This phrase turns up so many blogs that I gave up. Anyone got a clue?
