Facciamo attenzione: Luttazzi sta vandalizzando qui e su Wikipedia per nascondere le tracce delle sue migliaia di plagi. Io per sicurezza (e per farlo scoppiare quando verrà qui a vandalizzare con i suoi innumerevoli account falsi) le copio pure qua :D (la fonte è http://ntvox.blogspot.it/2008/02/luttazzis-plagiariezed-jokes.html)

People come up to me and say, "Emo, do people really come up to you?"

I ran three miles today... finally I said, "Lady, take your purse."

I always wanted a beautiful loving wife and she always wanted to be a citizen.

You know when you are in bed at night and your house starts making noises you don't hear during the daytime, like "Emo I'm going to kill you...". Well, I remember that song: [sings a song I don't know]. And I start whispering [makes sound of whisper]. And I feel a hand around my neck and a voice "thanks, I thought I'd never find you in the dark".
-> Benvenuti in Italia, pag.151
I went to grammar school, ya know. I went to grammar school and once we were taking a test and I was copying this other kid's paper, and I guess the teacher heard my xerox machine. She said, "Emo, am I stupid or were you cheating?," and I said, "Ah, yes and no." She sends me to the principal's office and I get there and sit down and he looks at me and says, "Emo, Emo, Emo." I said, "I'm the one in the middle, you drunken slob." [...] He said, "Emo, you'll have to see the school psychologist." And I said, "But why do I have to see the school psychologist?" So he shows me the petition.
And I go to the psychologist and he says: “Emo, what does this ink blot look like to you?” I said “Oh, it's kind of embarassing”. He says: “Emo, everyone sees something so don't be embarassed: tell me what the ink pot looks like to you”, I said: “Well, to me it looks like standard pattern number 3 in the Rorschach serie to test compulsiveness”.
And he gets kind of depressed, I said “Ok, it's a butterfly!” And he cheers up. He says “What does this ink blot look like?”. I say “It's a horrible ugly blob of pure evil that sucks the souls of men into a vortex of sin and degradation”. He said “No, the ink blot over there, this is a photo of my wife you're looking at!” [...]
And he gives me a chocolate Easter bunny and this shows how tricky those guys [scil. psicologi] are. I eat the chocolate bunny and I think "Wait a second. This isn't around Easter. Was this some test?"
He said "Yes"
"Ad what does it mean?"
He said "Well, had you eaten the head first, you'd've been normal; had you eate the feet first, you'd have had an inferiority complex; had you eaten the tail first, you'd have had omosexual tendencies; had you eaten the breasts first, you'd've had a latent Oedipal complex."
I said "Well, go on, what does it mean when you bite off the eyes and you scream Stop staring at me!"
You know, he says "It shows you have a tendency to self-distruction"
I say "What d'you reccomend?"
He says "Go for it!"

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

What is eternity? You're on the checkout line at a supermarket. There are seven people in front of you. They are all old. They all have two carts and coupons for every item. They are all paying by check. None of them have ID. It's the checkout girl's first day on the job. She doesn't speak any English. Take away fifteen minutes from that, and you begin to get an idea of what eternity is.

Once I went to the library. I said, "I'd like a book on the Heimlich anti-choking maneuver," and the guy said, "look at the card catalog. I'm busy." So I go to the card catalog. I look under Heimlich and choking and maneuver. It's not any of those places. And I see this first aid book with the section and I take it and that guy said, "It's a reference book. You can't take it out; you have to Xerox it." I said, "Do you have change for a dollar?" He said, "It's not a bank, it's a library." So I go to this souvenir stand and I said, "Do you have change for a dollar?" They said, "It's not a bank, it's a souvenir stand." So I go to this bank, and they said, "Yes, this is a bank." And they give me the change and I come back to it. And by this time there's a line of students Xeroxing their books or whatever and I -- finally I Xerox the Heimlich. As I go back the guy says, "Put it back, now that you've used it." So I put it back. And as I leave, he says, "Thank you." I said, "Well, thank you! I'm never coming to this barn again." And I went back to my car. Now by this time, my sister's almost purple from the chicken bone.

I almost didn't make it here. I made a mistake on driving, I'm on second avenue and have to get to 8th avenue and I thought 'What street do I take to get from second to 8th?' Then I remembered Einstein postulating that parallel lines eventually meet. They're dredging the car right now.

I was in a bar few nights ago, moving from stool to stool trying an' get lucky, but there wasn't gum under any of them. And I heard giggling behind me and at first I don't mind,but the giggling continues. Finally I thought "What's so amusing?" I turn around, these two guys for the last half hour or so have been throwing darts into my head. It's a good thing I heard them! I said "Look you, bums" 'cause I was angry now I said "As soon as this game is over, hit the row"

(interviewed by the ONION A.V. CLUB (http://www.avclub.com/articles/emo-philips,13681/))
EP: I've been at a hotel for a week, and I'm the only person here. It's like The Shining. The window opens only four inches to prevent suicide, which is great, unless they cancel Ally McBeal. Then they'll have to make it two inches. It's a nice hotel. They have videos you can rent. I saw Armageddon for the first time.
ONION: What did you think?
EP: If an asteroid is coming toward you, you don't have to blow it up. You just have to slow it down long enough for our country to rotate out of the way.
-> I giardini dell'epistassi, pag. 83
(from the same interview)
ONION: With all that, why return to stand-up now?
EP: I just realized that I loved it, subconscious be damned. I'm going full hog with this thing and having a great time. I've been at this 26 years now: After a while, you get as jaded as the proverbial gynecologist who no longer enjoys drugging and violating his patients. But I tell you, when I do the little comedy clubs, it makes me realize why I got into this racket in the first place: to pick up skanks. But now I can't, 'cause I'm married, so maybe I'll read more Gibbon.

Here's another question I have. How come when it's us, it's an abortion, and when it's a chicken, it's an omelette? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden? When did this happen, that we passed chickens in goodness. Name 6 ways we're better than chickens. See, nobody can do it! You know why? ‘Cause chickens are decent people. You don't see chickens hanging around in drug gangs, do you? No, you don't see a chicken strapping some guy into a chair and hooking up his nuts to a car battery, do you? When's the last chicken you heard about come home from work and beat the shit out of his hen, huh? Doesn't happen, 'cause chickens are decent people.
Religion easily has the best bullshit story of all time. Think about it. Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man...living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.

I don't believe there's any problem in this country, no matter how tough it is, that Americans, when they roll up their sleeves, can't completely ignore..
(here Luttazzi says "mass" and not "mess". The joke works as well, maybe even better: it is up to the reader whether to consider this a translation mistake or an improvement over the original joke)
Farts are shit without the mess.
My god has a bigger dick than your god!
Here's a human interest story about man's best friend. It seems that 63 years old James [surname] was asleep last week in his down town motel room. He awekened to the sound of a dog barking. When he awoke the room was full of smoke and he could not see. The dog let him out of the room, down the hall and into an elevator shaft where he plunged eight stories to his death. Seems it wasn't his dog.
(about the hypocrisy of the sanctity of life, the entire speech is practically the same and the following joke is identical)
Look at what we kill! Mosquito and flies because they're pests. Lions and tigers because it's fun. Chickens and pigs, 'cause we're hungry. Pheasants and quales and whales, because it's fun and we're hungry. And people, we kill people, 'cause they're pests! ... And it's fun!
The joke about capital punishment where you can bet about which hole the head (once separated from the body) will roll into starting from a hill.
(Napalm & Silly Putty, Luttazzi uses Elba instead of Kansas)
First group: Violent criminals.Here’s what you do: You take the entire state of Kansas and you move everybody out. You give the people a couple of hundred dollars apiece for their inconvenience, but you get them out. Next you put a 100-foot-high electric fence around the entire state, and Kansas becomes a permanent prison farm for violent criminals. No police, no parole, no supplies; the only thing you give them is lethal weapons and live ammunition. So they can communicate in a meaningful manner.
Then you put the whole thing on cable TV. The Violence Network. VNN. [...]
But this is only for true sex offenders. We’re not going to harass consenting adults who dress up in leather Boy Scout uniforms and smash each other in the head with ball-peen hammers as they take turns blowing their cats. There’s nothing wrong with that; it’s a victimless hobby. And think of how happy the cat must be. No, we’re only going to lock up rapists and molesters; those hopeless romantics who are so full of love they can’t help gettin’ a little of it on you.

I'd rather have my son watch a film with 2 people making love than 2 people trying to kill one another. I, of course, can agree. It is a great sentence. I wish I knew who said it first. I agree with that but I like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for the word Kill in all of those movie cliches we grew up with.

And you know, in this country, now there are alot of people who want to expand the death penalty to include drug dealers. This is really stupid. Drug dealers aren't afraid to die. They're already killing each other every day on the streets by the hundreds. [...]Death penalty doesn't mean anything unless you use it on people who are afraid to die. Like... the bankers who launder the drug money. The bankers, who launder, the drug money. Forget the dealers, you want to slow down that drug traffic, you got to start executing a few of these fucking bankers. White, middle class Republican bankers.
And I'm not talking about soft, American executions, like lethal injection. I'm talking about fucking crucifixion folks! Let's bring back crucifixions. [...]And I'd go a little further, I'd crucify people upside-down. Like Saint Peter, feet up, head down. And naked. I'd have naked upside-down crucifixions on TV once a week at halftime on the Monday Night Football game! Halftime! Monday Night! The Monday Night Crucifixions! You'd have people tuning in, don't even care about Football! Wouldn't you like to hear Dan Dierdorf explain why the nails have to go in at a certain angle? And I'll guarantee you one thing. You start execut- you start nailing one white banker per week to a big wooden cross, you're going to see that drug traffic begin to slow down pretty fucking quick. Pretty fucking quick- you won't even be able to buy drugs in schools and prisons anymore!
What we really need is year-round capital punishment on TV every night with sponsors. Gotta have sponsors. I'm sure as long as we're killing people Marlboro Cigarettes and Dow Chemical would be proud to participate! Proud to participate! Balance the stupid fucking budget!! [...] Not only- not only do I recommend crucifixions, I'd be in favor of bringing back beheadings!! Huh? Beheadings on TV, slow-motion, instant replay? And maybe you could let the heads roll down a little hill. And fall into one of five numbered holes. Let the people at home gamble on which hole the head is going to fall into. [...] You want something a little more delicate, we'll do the beheadings with an olive fork. That would be nice. And it would take a good God damn long time. There's a lot of good things we could be doing. [...] Boiling people in oil. Sponsor: Crisco! [...] Here's something really nice you could do. You shoot a guy out of a high-speed catapult... right into a brick wall!! Trouble is, it would be over too quick. No good for TV, you know? You'd have to do a whole bunch of guys right in a row. Rapid-fire capital punishment. Fifteen catapults, while you're shooting off one, you're loading up the others. 'Course every now and then you would have to stop to clean off the wall. Cleanliness... right next to Godliness. Alright hi-tech. I sense some of yous are waiting for hi-tech. I got it. You take a small, tactical nuclear weapon... and stick it up a guy's ass! A thermo-nuclear suppository! Preparation H-Bomb! You talk about fallout, huh?

(Back In Town 1996)
Question. You ever have to fart on a bus, or an airplane, or some sort of public place... but you hadn't been farting all that day. So you didn't really know... the nature... of the beast. You only knew there was lots of it.
In a situation like that, what you have to do... is to release... a TEST FART. You have to arrange to release, quietly and in a carefully controlled manner, about ten to fifteen percent of the total fart. In order to determine if those around you can handle it! Or, or if in fact, you may be about to precipitate a public health emergency.
When releasing a test fart, it is often good to engage in an act of subterfuge such as reaching for a magazine. "Say!! Is that GOLF DIGEST?!" *fart* "Well, this doesn't smell too horrifying. In fact, in an odd way, it's rather pleasant. I think they ought to enjoy the rest of this baby." *faaart*
And it turns out to be one of those farts that would strip the varnish off a Foot Locker. [...]

Not all drugs are good. Some … are great.
I actually did that act one night in the south. Then, after the show, these three rednecks came up to me. "Hey, buddy! We're Christians and we didn't like what you said." I said, "Then forgive me."
And by the way, that 3 month old kid in your belly is not a fucking human being, okay? It's a bunch of little congregated cells. You're not a human … till you're in my phone book.
I'm sorry if anyone here is Catholic. I'm not sorry if you are offended, I'm actually sorry – just the fact that you're Catholic. Gotta be one of the most ludicrous fucking beliefs ever. Like these vampire priests sink their twin fangs of guilt and sin into you as a child and suck your joy of life out of you the rest of your fucking existence.
Wouldn't you like to see a positive LSD story on the news? To hear what it's all about, perhaps? Wouldn't that be interesting? Just for once?
"Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration … that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."
Keith Richards outlived Jim Fixx, the runner and health nut. The plot thickens. You remember Jim Fixx? This human cipher used to write books on jogging. Now, what do you fuckin’ write about jogging? ‘Right foot, left foot, faster, faster, oh hell, I dunno, go home, shower.’ Pretty much covers the jogging experience, I do believe. Then this doofus goes out and has a heart attack and dies.... while jogging. There is a God. ‘Right foot, left foot, hemorrhage.
"Today a young man on acid, thought he could fly, jumped off a building, what a tragedy." What a dick! If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground?
This is it, folks. This is the idea which has kept me virtually unknown for the past 16 years. I have watched my crowds dwindle. I am going nowhere, and nowhere quick, but, those of you who have children, I am sorry to tell you this, but they are not special. Wait! I know some of you are going: "What, what?" Let me just clarify: I know you think they're special … ha ha ha! I'm aware of that. I'm just here to tell you that they're not! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry. Did you know that every time a guy comes, he comes two-hundred million sperm? One out of two-hundred million – that load, we're only talking about one load – connected: Gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped nations off of my chest with a grey gym sock. Entire civilizations have flaked and crusted in the hair around my navel! […] I've tossed universes in my underpants while napping. Boom! A Milkyway shoots into my jockeyshorts: "Unngh … what's for fucking breakfast?!"
[The joke with Keith Richards' brain, which, when on drugs, makes the sound of "Satisfaction".] That's him on drugs? Give him some more! Let's see what else he pumps out!
All this travelling, all this moving from town to town, living out of a suitcase. It's a hard life for anyone to comprehend. It's really going to take one very special woman. Or a lot of average women.

I was in Australia during Easter, which was really interesting to know: they celebrate Easter in the exact same way we do. Commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a giant bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night.
You know we armed Iraq. I wondered about that too, you know. During the Persian Gulf war, those intelligence reports would come out: "Iraq: incredible weapons – incredible weapons." "How do you know that?" "Uh, well … we looked at the receipts."
The Beatles were so fucking high they let Ringo sing a few tunes.

I have this feeling man, 'cause you know, it's just a handful of people who run everything, you know … that's true, it's provable. It's not … I'm not a fucking conspiracy nut, it's provable. A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media. I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail – blah, blah, blah – when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there. And you're in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down … and a big guy with a cigar goes, "Roll the film." And it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before … that looks suspiciously like it's from the grassy knoll. And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president, "Any questions?" "Er, just what my agenda is." "First we bomb Baghdad." "You got it …"
I finally got my own TV Show coming out as a replacement show this fall!It's a half-hour weekly show that I will host, entitled Let's Hunt and Kill Billy Ray Cyrus.
Not only do I think pot should be legalized, I think it should be mandatory. Think about it, you get in traffic behind somebody. (Makes loud horn noises) “Shut up and smoke that! It’s the law!” (Puff puff) “Oh sorry, I was taking life seriously."

Two of Bill Hicks' routines: Basic Instinct: [...] piece of shit. [...] and then I come to find after that film, that all the lesbian sex scenes, let me repeat that, all... all the lesbian sex scenes were cut out of that film, bcause the test audience was turned off by them. [...] If i had been in that test audience, the only one out front protesting that fil would have been Michael Douglas demanding his part to be put back in, all right? "I swear I was in that movie, I swear I was!" "Gee, Mike, the movie started, Sharon Stone was eating another woman for an hour and a half. Then the credits rolled. [...]" What I'm saying is it'd be a different film if I was the test audience, that's all I'm trying to get at there. Don't try an' talk for me please.

ROBERT SCHIMMEL
The following jokes are taken mostly from "Robert Schimmel Unprotected". A 50 minutes show which Luttazzi plagiarized almost entirely. Some others are from "Guilty as charged".

[exactly the same kind of joke but modified, I inserted (exceptionally) this one because what matters for this joke is only the technique, the context doesn't count]
Wife: "Bring him to the vet!"
Schimmel: "Yeah, like I'm going to bring a 5 dollard rabbit to the vet.... .... So, we're at the vet and..."
Wife: "maybe you're suffering from premature ejaculation"
Schimmel: "does it look like I'm suffering? [...] Men don't suffer from premature ejaculation, women do. There is no such thing. When it's time, it's time."
"Baby, I'm gonna cum"
"Wait..."
"No, you hurry up!"
[The joke where you stop a guy from ejaculating by squeezing his cock]
"and he won't have an orgasm... ever again!"
"Squeezing someone's dick when he's gonna cum?? That's like duck tape on somebody's mouth when he's gonna puke! That shit doesn't work!"
"It's gonna find some place else to come out..."
Men: "I'm gonna cum!"
Women: "No, you're not!"
(Squeeze dick)
Women: "Ehy, your nose is running.."
[the woman not wanting to have sex because she feels unattractive]
"I don't feel attractive.."
"well, believe it or not, my dick has a very poor vision, actually, he's legally blind"

"I sat down with my daughter and said: do you know how babies get made?
Daughter: "The lady has an egg inside of her and the man has sperm inside of him and the sperm meets the egg and this is how the lady gets pregnant.."
Schimmel: "Do you know how the sperm meets the egg?"
Daughter: "Does the man pee on the woman?"
Schimmel: "Sometimes, but that's 35 dollars extra..."
[the one about sexual fantasies: Schimmel vs Wife]
"I'd like to fuck your sister.."
"How could I have known that her fantasy was for me to sleep in the car in the driveway that night?"
"I saw a fake vagina that plugs directly into the wall, there's no body connected or anything and I was thinking: "yeah, I'm gonna stick my dick that squirts a liquid into something that's plugged directly into the wall socket"... So, I'm on the floor fucking this thing... and the lights dimm and I almost shit in my pants."

I was with my kids to LA, in one of these nature marine park places who have these billboards all over: "Come see fish in their natural habitat"! And then you get there and they have clowns riding on the back of dolphins and whales jumping through fire hoops. Like this is what you see when you go to the beach!
But she wants to get something to eat, my daughter, and I take her to the snack bar and they serve Filet-O-Fish! What the fuck, what are these, the acts that screw up? [...] "You see your friend Louie on the grill over there? [...] I don't care if you're a fish, get on the bike!
My brother scuba-dives, he goes: “Oh, you know what you do if the shark's bothering you?” Bothering? You need to look in the dictionary, pal! It really bothers when he shears my leg off to the hip. I find it very bothersome to get back to shore with my torso snapped in half. He said: “What you do is to let the shark get up to you and then punch him in the face!” Yeah, now when that doesn't work you poke him in the eye with your stump. Punch a shark! What if he wasn't even gonna attack you? What if he's just curious, he's swimming by and you: Pow pow pow! “Ehi! What the fuck?! What d'you do that for?” “I thought you were gonna attack me!” “I'm going to now. I was gonna let you go, bu the other sharks are watching, it doesn't look good now!”

Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them's making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge?
(about the expiration day of milk)
How do they know that that is the exact day? They don't say it's in the vicinity, roughly etc. They brand it right into the side of the carton. Ever had milk after THE day? Scares the hell out of you, right? The spoon is trembling as it comes out of the bottle... [...] I don't know how they are so definite, though. Maybe the cow tipped them off.
I like hotels. I enjoy tiny soap. I pretend that it's normal soap and my muscles are huge.
(Luttazzi's version is a bit different: it is about perfumed underwear)
I have the underarm deodorant with the cologne smell. Why do you want the smell there? I think once a woman's got her nose in your armpit, the seduction's pretty much over.
It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.

DAN SAVAGE
(quoted from Wikipedia)
Santorum is a sexual neologism proposed by American humorist and sex-advice columnist Dan Savage in 2003 to "memorialize" then US Republican Senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania due to the controversy over his statements on homosexuality. Savage asked his readers to submit new definitions for the term; the winning definition was "that frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex."
(The so called "giulianone"!
Luttazzi renamed "Santorum" to "giulianone". Giuliano Ferrara is a pro-life, pro-war, pro-Berlusconi, pro-torture etc. italian journalist.)
(Skipping Towards Gomorrah, 2002)
My proof that homosexuality is not a choice? A question for my straight male readers: Is there anything I could do or say or write that would convince you to willingly, happily, eagerly, anxiously, deliriously, lustfully put my dick in your mouth and leave it there until I had an orgasm? I rest my case.
EDDIE IZZARD
(it's Aunt Sofocle in italian instead of Ted)
So in the christian faith god created Adam in its own image. But 60 million years before that, god created the dinosaurs using the image of his cousin Ted.
[the whole joke (which lasts about 10 minutes) with jesus who enters the dinosaurs pub, every dinosaur stops what he's doing and turns to jesus]
Jesus: I'm Jesus, the son of god... In one religion. I've come to read you the stuff for my father's folk, which I hope we're going to publish soon... It's called the holy "bible" [...]
Jesus: blessed all the meek, for they will inherit the world...
Dinosaur: Roaaar
Jesus: ok, I'll cross that one out... 'cause they won't mind.. What about "blessed all the huge scary monsters for they should doubtlessy inheirt the world, unless something awful happens with the temperature..."
[the dinosaur beheads Jesus, Jesus goes back to his dad with his head under his arm]
Jesus: what a bunch of bastards!!
[god kills the dinosaurs by raising the temperature, god creates the humans and Jesus goes back to earth, he comes back 33 years later]
Jesus: you bastard! They treated me worse than the fuckin' dinosaurs! God damn it, they nailed me [..] for three days!
God: sorr.. I didn't kno..
Jesus: you knew all the time! Opposable thumbs.. you knew they got hammers! God: what happened?
[Jesus tells what he did, the hanging out with fishermen etc. Always talking about the size of their fishes]
Jesus: then the rich came who wanted to get into the kingdom of heaven. I said well it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich to get into heaven.
God: That was pretty surreal of you.
Jesus: Well, I'd been smoking a bit that day... But the rich, they got huge blenders and they put camels into them, and they sprayed them, through very fine jets, through the eyes of needles. So they're all coming up now.

Thank you, two people.
Also, if you're in a restaurant and you're choking to death, you can say the magic words, "Heimlich maneuver." If you're just coughing and got some, you say, "Heimlich maneuver," and all will be well. The trouble is, it's very difficult to say "Heimlich maneuver" when you're choking to death. Yeah.
( mumbling and coughing )
"Your hymen’s been removed?"
"No no. ( more mumbling and coughing )
"You need it removed? Right…"
I don't know how you remove a hymen... But yeah. No, Heimlich maneuver,developed by Dr. Heimlich who woke up one night, obviously, and went,
"A fist, a hand, hoocha hoocha hoocha... lobster! Yes, Hilda! Hilda! Wake up, Hilda!"
"Oh, what is it, Dr. Heimlich?"
"Why are you calling me Dr. Heimlich? I'm you're husband, for fuck's sake! Loosen up, don't be so bloody Prussian."
"Well, what is it, Günther?"
"I have invented a maneuver!"
"What are you, a bloody tank commander now?"
"No! My name is going to be famous in restaurants!"
I don't think he actually did it that way. I don't think it was ( snaps fingers ) a wing and a prayer, I think he must have experimented. He was German, organized.

“I know you cannot breath. I will now make you breath with the cunning use of..." ( muffled shot)
“I still cannot breath."
"Ok, maybe not, maybe this will… ( muffled shot )
“Jesus fucking Christ!”
"Ok, then maybe with a frying pan..." Pow!
( Hans coughing throughout, as Dr Heimlich smacks him )
"Must be a combination. No, ok… "
"Ok, two frying pans… Frying pan in the bollocks… Bollocks stop…
"Frying pan…"
( Hans collapses to thefloor )
"Oh, he's dead."
Other doctors are going,
"How's it coming along, Dr. Heimlich?"
"Well, not very well at the moment. It's not really a maneuver at the moment. It's more of a gesture."
So, stand-up comedy – vocation. You can't just fall into it. There's others, like taxidermist. You can't go, "I was working in a chip shop, then I started stuffing animals with sand."
You've got to want it. "I wanna be a taxidermist! I wanna fill animals with sand. I want to get more sand into an animal than anyone's ever bloody got in an animal. I want to fill a rat with the entire Gobi desert so it's really quite tight."
They should put more things in, sand gets boring.
"Porridge. I'm doing this one with porridge."
B-dum, b-dum. Staple gun.
"Your dog's finished, I filled him with porridge. Thbpth!"
"It's a bit floppy."
"Yeah, that's porridge for you. You've got a two-level effect."

But he did other paintings, like he did that guy in the bowler hat with an apple in the face, that's his. And the one of lilies which is all blurry, that blurry lily one. And he did a couple of Pissaros, one or two Lautreqs.
And he also made weapons of war, and pictures of anatomy. And he invented a helicopter that did not work. And so did I! Yeah, did not work! I accept your applause for my crap invention. For it had a lawnmower engine, it was made out of wood and string, and it went under water. My helicopter went under water… on paper. But then the paper would get wet and, you know, a helicopter that just exists on paper - it needs to fly in the air. And I'm trying to make this work as a joke… and it won't.

Now I'm going to tell you about the girl I'm seeing now. The last week in August we went camping way up in Canada. We were laying around in the woods and stuff, and I don't know how she did it but she got poison ivy on her brain. And the only way she can scratch it is if she thinks about sandpaper.
I was walking through the desert and a UFO landed, these little 1 inch tall guys got out and came over next to me. I said: "Are you really that small?" They said: "No, we're just really very far away".

Everytime a man's being nice to you [women], he's offering you dick.
It's beautiful that abortion is legal in America. I love going to abortion rallies to pick up women, cause you know they're fuckin'. You ain't gonna find a bunch of virgins at the abortion rally, you might even see some clear heels! [referring to strippers]
(The one about Nelson Mandela getting divorced)
Marriage is so though Nelson Mandela got a divorce. After 27 years of prison etc...
You know what a platonic friend is to a woman? It's like a dick in glass case: in case of emergency break open glass.
One thing I learnt about women. Guys: never ask a woman how many men she slept with. 'Cause you don't wanna know. Just be happy you're fucking her now. [..] Why you wanna know? First off, no matter what she says, it's too much for you. She can go "two" and you'll be like: "two?? TWO?? I guess it's how you was raised".
Women will lie. [...] If she says "three", that's "ten". You know, you have to give every woman a seven dick curve. That's more like 3 dicks at the 8th power.
(changes slightly in the end)
When you were single, nobody was thinking about your ugly ass. [but once you're in a relationship] everybody wants to fuck you. When you were single, nobody was calling your ass up? Now, you're phone ringing up the hook. Crazy, freaky sex calls going: "hey, what you're doing? You know me and my girlfriend have a dick sucking contest and we think you would be a good judge."
You can't cheat, you know why? 'Cause you're gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught. I don't care who you are, you are 007, you are gonna get caught.
(changes slightly in the end)
You know what the crazy shit is? You cheated on your woman. She should trust you no more, but she does, eventually she does. But you know what happens now? Now you don't trust her. You know what happened? You fucked around your woman. You know what happens when you fuck around your woman? You just gave her get some dick free card. And you'll never know when she's gonna cash it in.
Some people are addicted to popping the bubbles in bubble wrap. I know. I had a bad case of it for a while. I would costantly open other people 's packages and pinch the protective plastic. [...] Then one day my habit almost got me killed. I intentionally crashed my car into a tree so I could pop the airbag.
Do you realize that in 1997 some women still don't give head? Ninety-fucking-seven. When I was single and I met a woman who didn't give head, I'd look at her like she was a Betamax. “They still make you?”
When it comes to head, there's three types of women. […] The woman C is my favourite. “Where's that dick? It's got the antidote and I'm gonna get it.”
Dealers don't force drug on people. They don't have to. A drug dealer is not like a door-to-door encyclopedia or vacuum cleaner saleperson. You won't hear a pusher saying: “Man, oh man, how am I gonna get rid of all this crack? It's just piled up in my house […].” Dealers offer drugs. I'm 31 years old and nobody's ever forced anything on me. If a dealer says: “Hey, man, you want some smack?” And I say: “No.” That's it.
The government hates rap. You know why I say that? 'Cause they don't arrest anybody that kills rappers. They don't got no clues, no suspects, they don't have shit when there's a dead rapper. [...] If you wanna get away with murder, shoot him in the head and put a demo tape in their pocket! [...] "This is a rap killing! Let's go home!"
If Billy Joel, Elton John and David Bowie got shot, they'd have Bruce Springsteen's house surrounded. The government hates rap. And only the good rappers are dead: Biggie Smalls, Tupac [...] You wanna tell me they can find Saddam Houssein in a fuckin' hole, but you can't tell me who shot tupac [...] in Vegas?
Men are full of shit. We have women we'll fuck but we won't take out! That's mean, right? Women are just as mean. You've got men you let take you out... but you won't fuck.

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piPyfqAKf6o - Luttazzi's version is shorter and differs a bit)
THERE ARE FIVE LEVELS OF DRINKING. SIX IF YOU LIVE
in a trailer park. But never mind that now. We will deal with five. See if these look familiar.
LEVEL ONE
Let’s say it’s eleven o’clock on a weeknight, and you’ve had a few beers. You get up to leave—because you have work the next day— when one of your friends buys another round.
One of your unemployed friends. But here at Level One you think to yourself, “Aw, why not? After
all, as long as I get seven hours’ sleep ...I’m cool.”
LEVEL TWO
Midnight. Had a few more beers. You’ve just spent twenty minutes arguing against artificial turf.
You get up to leave again, and now all your friends say, “Oh, come on, one more . . .” And you say, “Thank you, my good friends, and the Dear’s blessings, but I must away!” And they say, “No, don’t go....”
But you’re a responsible young man starting out in life, and hug them all and say, “We few. We happy few. Goodnight!” And you turn to leave, but ...Suddenly, here at Level Two, a little devil appears on your shoulder. POP! And he whispers in your ear.
And you listen. And that was your mistake. Because once you listen to the devil, you find yourself thinking, “Hey. Wait a minute. I’m out with my friends. That’s important to me. And this is a special night, too. Bobby is celebrating his ...oh, I don’t know, but it’s definitely a special night, though, that’s for sure. Work. Hmmph. What am I workin’ for anyway? They’re trying to
strangle me! These are the good times. Besides ...“As long as I get five hours’ sleep ...I’m cool.”
LEVEL THREE
One in the morning.
You’ve abandoned beer ...for tequila.
You’ve just spent twenty minutes arguing for artificial turf. And now you’re thinking, “Our waitress is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.” See, though, at Level Three, you love the world. You feel
fantastic. On the way to the bathroom, you buy a drink for the stranger at the end of the bar ...just because you like his face. “Hey, buddy. Cheers, man. Whoooooo!” Back at the table, you get drinking fantasies. “Hey, fellas, if we all bought our own bar, we could live together FOREVER.”
Yeah, but at Level Three, that devil ...is a little bit bigger. And he’s got his arm around your shoulder. And he’s buying. And you’re thinking, “Hey, as long as I get three hours’ sleep . . .
and a complete change of blood ...I’m cool. Yeah. No problem. I’ll catch up tomorrow.”
LEVEL FOUR
Two in the morning. And the devil is bartending. He’s locked the door, but he lets you stay, ’cause you’re such old friends.
For last call, you order a bottle of rum ...and a Coke. You are artificial turf. This time on your way to the bathroom, you punch the stranger at the end of the bar, just because ...you don’t like his face. “What’re you lookin’ at, man? ’Cause I’ll kill you. Well, then, make your move, brother. ’Cause I’ll kill you. You don’t see me runnin’, do you? That’s ’cause I’ll kill you.”
After he kills you ...your friends sit you back up with another drink ...And now you’re thinking, “Our waiter is the best looking man I’ve ever seen....” Suddenly, the whole night’s not so much fun anymore, is it? In fact, it’s no fun at all, you just don’t know it yet. (You won’t know it for years.) You and your friends decide to leave... right after you get
thrown out....
And one of you knows an after-hours bar. The devil says he’ll call you a car, and a gypsy cab instantly squeals up the second he hangs up the phone, with flames painted on the sides (but it’s not paint), and driven by a real Gypsy. You don’t even remember coming outside or getting in, but as
you’re roaring downtown, very fast, you look at the driver, and underneath the black hair and the hoop earring and the bandanna and the mustache and the cuffed, paisley shirt ...It’s still the devil. Good driver, though. Fast, but good. And here, at Level Four, you actually think to yourself: “Well ...long as I’m only going to get a few hours’ sleep anyway ...I might
as well . . .” STAY UP ALL NIGHT. Yeah. That’d be good for me. I don’t mind going to that board
meeting looking like Keith Richards. Sure. Few mints and nobody’ll know a thing. My boss loves me in sunglasses.
Besides, as long as I get seventy-five hours’ sleep tomorrow ...I’m cool.
LEVEL FIVE
Five in the morning. Whew. After unsuccessfully trying to get your money back at the tattoo
parlor ...(“Yeah, but I don’t know anyone named Ruby!”) You and your friends wind up across the state line, in a bar filled with guys who’ve been in prison as recently as that morning. It’s the kind of place where even the devil says, “Oh, wow, look at the time, I’ve got to turn in. Well, I’ve got to be in Hell at nine ...gotta open up. This is our busy season. You know how that is . . .
see ya.” Of course, they let you right in, and sit you all at a table in the back that smells ...just about the way it ought to. At this point, you’re all drinking some kind of thick, blue liqueur ...the kind they use to clean combs. “Say, what kind of wine is ‘Barbisol’?” Who knows, maybe it’s Aqua Velva. At least when you throw up, it’ll smell like the great outdoors. A waitress with fresh stitches in her head comes over ...sets down a plate of finger food—made with real fingers—coughs for a
long time, clears her nose by holding a nostril shut ...And you’re thinking, “Someday I’m going to marry that girl.” This time, on your way to the bathroom, the stranger at the end of the bar punches you ...and then returns to making out with his identical twin. The bathroom has rats, but that’s okay, because that’s what the snakes are for. (In a rare moment of wisdom, you decide to hold it in.)
Back at the table, one of your friends suddenly stands up and screams, “We’re driving to Florida!”
And bursts into flames. You ever make one of those trips? Far away, late at night, with six
friends? In a Fiat? I’ll tell you one thing. That ride back ...is mighty quiet. (“Tell the girls we’re Kennedys?”) Back at the Bucket of Blood—its real name—you decide it’s time to leave when a coffin opens, and Dracula sits up and yells “Last call.” You check your watch and notice both hands are running back- wards. You ease off the chair—which follows you—and head to the front door, which keeps getting farther and farther away the closer you get. You finally crawl outside ...and hit the worst part of Level Five:
The sun.
Ooh. You weren’t expecting that, were you? You never do. You walk out of a bar in daylight, and people are on their way to work ...or jogging ...And they look at you ...and they know.
And they say, “Who’s Ruby?” Look, folks, let’s be honest. If you’re nineteen, and you stay up all
night, it’s a victory, it’s like you beat the night. But if you’re over thirty—or forty—or fifty—that sun is like God’s flashlight. And it doesn’t miss much. And we all say the same prayer then. Say it with me now: “I swear. I will never do this again. As long ...as I ...live.”
And some of us have that little addition: “And this time . . .I mean it.”

STEWART LEE
(Boy George's Autobiography)
Because it's the last taboo that we have in modern society in many ways and I think when heterosexual couples engage in the anal sex act they are stroking a blow against thousands of years of social, sexual, religious conditioning and in many ways it's the most important and impressive act of personal and private revolution against established believe systems that any two people can make. That's what I always say, anyway. Sometimes it works.

When I meet someone, I never know when to make that first move. But I gotta tell you, I was in a bar last week. This beautiful woman came up to me, offered to buy me a drink. And the next thing you know, it's her place or mine. We're at her place. She says, 'Excuse me'. She comes back a minute later, totally naked, sits down besides me on the couch. Puts her hand on my knee, starts licking my ear. So I figure, okay, take a chance. Got her phone number.

"That's ridiculous," the scorpion replied, "because then I would drown."
Convinced, the frog took the scorpion on his back and began to swim the river. In midstream, the scorpion's lethal urge became too strong and he plunged his stinger into the frog's neck.
The sinking frog groaned, "Why, why?"
The scorpion gave his final shrug and replied, "This is the Middle East."

Tra l'altro l'articolo è stato persino citato da Andrea Scanzi su Il Fatto Quotidiano ([[:File:Nonciclopedia su Il Fatto Quotidiano del 17 settembre 2011.jpg|qui l'articolo]]) che lo ha definito ''"saggio di (assai perfida) satira"''.

Ciao, ho notato che Daniele Luttazzi sta imperversando in rete con decine di account falsi, con i quali fa "rumore di fondo", commenta a suo favore articoli e post che parlano dei suoi plagi, ed edita a tradimento articoli di Wikipedia per falsificarli a suo favore. Anche molti commenti sul Fatto sono in realtà scritti da lui. Con ogni probabilità è passato scorrettamente addirittura anche qui su Nonciclopedia per alleggerire la voce in suo favore.
Inoltre, mentre facevo ricerche per capire l'entità dell'azione dei fake di Daniele Luttazzi in giro per Internet, ho scoperto che anche il suo libro d'esordio "101 cose da evitare a un funerale" è un plagio integrale di un articolo di Ed Bluestone (e successivi addenda) apparso sul numero 34 (1973) della rivista umoristica americana National Lampoon.
