Gee, where to begin? Lewis Niles Black (born August 30, 1948) is best known as a loud, abrasive stand-up comic. He has NoIndoorVoice. While the bulk of his work is based around political humor, including a recurring "Back in Black" segment on ''Series/TheDailyShow'', he's also known for his [[RantComedy angry observational humor]]. (Those shaking fingers? That's not palsy, he's just really really pissed.) He had a high profile role in the film ''Film/{{Accepted}}'', and has appeared in a number of other films and television shows, including a guest spot on (where else?) ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'', and voicing [[AnthropomorphicPersonification the emotion of (who else?) Anger]] in Creator/{{Pixar}}'s ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'', and Linnux in ''WesternAnimation/RockDog''.

A Date With Rosie Palms is no longer a trope


* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** In one of the "Indecision 2000" sketches for ''Series/TheDailyShow'', he mentioned that the only thing he ever got done in a college dorm room was masturbating.
** In the ''Stark Raving Black'' special, he claimed humans were the idiots while primates are intelligent; while we humans built a concrete jungle for ourselves, and go to a monotonous 9-to-5 job, and in general deal with bills and all the idiocies of modern life, all primates have to worry about is "shitting and masturbating".
** In ''Black on Broadway'':
--->'''Lewis:''' The second [rule of health] is: If you masturbate twenty times a day, you'll never make it out your front door. You might make it to the door, but when you squeeze the handle, you'll pass out. Let me just say that I did that experiment in my own lab wearing a white lab coat with a rectal thermometer in my pocket. Now, for women, my belief is it's probably thirty times a day, but I can't find a woman to come to my lab!
** In ''Old Yeller'', he claims that anybody who works from home masturbates. It's not a sexual thing; it's just that it's the only way someone can feel like they've accomplished something for the day.

* {{Corpsing}}: Occasionally, he'll get amused at something he says and smirk. He never full-out cracks up, though. An example in ''Black on Broadway'', when discussing when he was a kid:
--> '''Lewis''': I could get clean water and drink it... mmm! And then go back out and play. And those were great times. ''(smirks)''

* LogicBomb: The culmination of the "if it weren't for my horse..." routine, revolving around the damage the stupidest thing you've ever heard can do as it rattles around inside your head.
-->'''Then''' you realize someone who ''went'' to an institution of higher learning would never '''say''' something that stupid and your eyes close, and they find you dead in your bathroom.

* NoSell: In his ''Black to the Future'' special, there is a blonde woman sitting dead center of the front row who does not so much as crack a smile through the entire show. Once you notice her, it's quite disturbing.
