The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Hannibal Buress
- When people go through something rough in life, they say, ‘I’m taking it one day at a time.’ Yes, so is everybody. Because that’s how time works.
- My dad named me after Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian general who attacked Rome. But nobody knows about him.
- I had a sketch called ‘Fedora Basketball,’ which was about basketball players having to wear hats; in addition to scoring points, they have to make sure their fedoras don’t fall off.
- I took an improv class in 2005 in Chicago at ComedySportz, which was short-form, more of a games-based improv. I remember it being real fun and helping with my stand-up. If I did an improv class, and then I did stand-up later, I felt looser on stage and more comfortable.
- I did a ‘Last Comic Standing’ audition in 2006, where you’re just performing for three people in a comedy club, in a big comedy club, and I remember them cutting me off, asking about my name in the middle of one of my jokes. Yeah, it’s just real weird when you’re doing stand-up in that type of sterile, unnatural setting.
- I skipped kindergarten because I was reading at a pretty high level. That’s a weird and cocky thing to say, but I was real sharp, and I knew that early on.
- The ultimate thing is creating your own stuff and making projects for yourself. That’s what Seth Rogen does. He’s writing and producing a lot of the movies that he’s the lead in.
- I’m doin’ something different. I mean, I talk a little bit about race and interracial dating, but it’s not the heart of my act. I just try to do what I think is funny; there’s no huge message or through line.
- I could maybe coach kids’ basketball. I know enough about basketball where I feel like I could coach 12-year-olds pretty effectively.
- My first time on TV doing stand-up, I actually did this show in Holland called ‘The Comedy Factory’ hosted by Jorgen Raymann. It was in 2006 in Holland. It was amazing. I had only been doing stand-up for four years, and I booked that gig through the Just For Laughs Montreal festival, and they flew me out and put me up.
