I worked at Outback Steakhouse night shift in 1996… after work we went around the block to the fry cooks apartment Andy, there we would have acoustic guitar jams until 3 am. He was good and I learned a lot there.

I love that Outback was standing in for Black Angus in that bit

[emotionalideas]

"A deep-fried pumpkin stuffed with buttered scallops" This is a very funny bit.

[twoblacklabs]

Still love his KFC bowls bit and the time he corrected his college Physics professor on insignificant Star Trek lore…

[E.Humperdinck]

Patton Oswalt was right. Hamburglar says "robble robble."

[tbx]

This was one of those bits that was in my head for years.

[joseph-owhf]

This morphed into the Black Angus bit.

[hbpencil]

That was such a great duo performance, they both dug deep for that one, hilarious!

[SudAbbas]

The outback steakhouse bit was almost word for word from his comedy Album 'Feelin' Kinda Patton'. If you think about it, it's the comedian version of a guest band doing the single from their latest album.

I love that slogan too! "Beef it's what's for dinner. SO SHUT YOUR TRAP! YOU'RE GETTIN BEEF, YA JACKWAGON!!!"

[michaelelliott]

It is "Robble, robble." After the theft, it's "We've been hamburgled!"

When I moved in with my wife, I found a strange thing in the kitchen drawer that sort of resembled the handle of an old electric toothbrush. (Easy now!) It was a thing you stick a tootsie pop stick in, and it TURNS THE SUCKER FOR YOU! It ran on an AA battery. Now, I was pro lazy as a kid. Seriously, I thought I had game. But THIS was beyond even MY slothful skills.

[mayormccheese]

The irony is no one in Australia has even heard of Outback Steakhouse.

[bradleyheck]

It's the Black Angus bit, but it's still hilarious.

[jackhackett]

I recall Jemaine Clement doing an Outback ad....he's from New Zealand lol

[redadamearth]

You can really see how he practiced that routine; all of the inflection points and tones are exactly the same as on the album. It's a little painful seeing him try to do it conversationally and just launch into the entire bit, but it really is such a well-written piece. lol

Wow can't believe how long ago this was. I think I saw this live.

[Heraclitean]

Gotta love standup bits in the guise of an interview.

[Twizzledoc]

Hamburgler said “Rubble Rubble”. I know, I’m truly old now.

[zenintent]

A quick google search confirms what I assumed. Patton was right about the Hamburgler's gibberish.
