Anyone ever heard of him, he's a really funny comedian. He was the guy who wrote the original Meet the Parents.

Emo Phillips -- one seriously twisted dude with some hilarious stuff. I liked his bit on religious wars when I heard it back many years ago

I thought Emo was that shit that suburban kids wear to seem hip or something; basically, all they look is poor. Why is it that rich, suburban kids always want to look poor?

Oh I just saw a flyer today that said he was going to be in Ann Arbor soon. The name sounded familiar but I didn't look to see what date he was going to be in town. Hmm I might have to check that out.

UHF!! Emo is pretty funny, in a quirky way.

I love that delivery he used to use. Monotone and dead pan one second and then high and crazy lilting the next.

Yeah, he's a wild man- he sort of looks like he hasn't quite mastered the use of his limbs, and spazzes out while doing his routine. Like Kadath said, he was in UHF, as the shop guy who cuts off his thumb on a table saw. He also used to be a regular on Dr. Katz.

I will definitely not forget Emo in UHF....one of the best movies ever made!

Emo's stand up is good stuff too.

I believe he has a new CD coming out. He's funny.

"When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn't work that way.....

....so I stole one and asked him to forgive me. "
