Outlines
π Comedian's Botox Mishap and Lawsuit
The comedian recounts a story where Larry David advised him against doing stunts and suggested stand-up comedy. He then shares an experience in Las Vegas where a plastic surgeon, Dr. Bernie Middlekoff, offered Botox treatment. After the procedure, the comedian's lips were altered, which he believes has negatively impacted his career as audiences laugh at his lips rather than his jokes. He is now suing the doctor for $10 million, claiming it has destroyed his career. A judge's unusual order instructs him to perform jokes on television to determine if the audience is laughing at his lips or his material. The comedian then tells two jokes, one involving a monkey in a bar and another about an Indian chief's children's names, with the audience's reaction indicating they are indeed laughing at his lips, not the jokes.
π Audience Reaction to Comedian's Jokes
In this segment, the focus shifts to the audience's reaction to the comedian's previous jokes. The comedian's friend, possibly a fellow comedian or host, engages in a brief dialogue about whether the audience was laughing at the jokes or the comedian's lips. The comedian then tells a final joke about a woman concerned about the size of her 'opening' and her mother's advice, which leads to a humorous twist involving her husband, Harry. The audience's laughter and applause suggest they find the situation amusing, but it's unclear if they are laughing at the content of the joke or the comedian's appearance.
