Fade To Black presents - Q & A with Emo Philips

Part III of III
 
Emo's Lines
"I love to go down to the schoolyard and watch all the little children jump up and down and run around yelling and screaming...They don't know I'm only using blanks."

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emo's Lines
"The IRS sent back my tax return saying I owed $800. I said "If you'll notice, I sent a paper clip with my return. Given what you've been paying for things lately, that should more than make up the difference.".

 

 I heard that you once taped a radio commercials for Dove-Bar Ice Cream. But the commercial never stated that it was you. So due to your delivery people thought that you were making fun of the retarded people, which caused a huge fiasco and compelled the radio station to bring you on the air to explain. Why do you think people have hard time accepting retarded people selling Dove Bars? 

I don't know...they're totally accepted in power tool commercials.

There was a recent article about you stating that you took a few years off from comedy. What made you take time off, and what did you do at that time? 

I think it is crucial for every artist to take a step back from himself so that he can survey his progress to date. Only then can he go on to make the necessary changes to advance his art to a height higher than ever before. I'm sorry, but...ask a silly question...!  

Let's play word association, tell me the first thing the pops into mind when I say.

Emo's Lines
"I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said "Stop! don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious." I said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?" He said, "Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" He said, "Baptist!" I said, "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist church of god or Baptist church of the lord?" He said, "Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you original Baptist church of god, or are you reformed Baptist church of god?" He said, "Reformed Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!" I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off. "
