This fat bastard is Ralphie May. I've never heard of him, but I'm assured by my American cohorts that he's a comedian. Here's a clip of Ralphie performing at the Spike VGAs, where he strolls onto the stage, whips the crowd into a frenzy with his poignant, biting remarks on the 360's reliability then strolls off to a thunderous round of applause.
This Is What A Comedian Dying On Stage Looks Like

2 minutes might've been too much time for him to fill. He should've walked slower.
LOL SELF DEPRECATING JOKES ARE ALWAYS FUNNY BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN TAKE THE PISS OF HIS MORBID OBESITY.
almost sad really...
wtf happened. I did not think it was possible for him to get larger then he was.... I have been proven wrong.
Maybe if he didn't eat so much, his 360 wouldn't have died.
Wow, that was just painful and forced.
Title says it all. Go home folks, nothing more to see here.
wow... that was... awful.
wow, did not need the mental picture of his boys floatin in the tub...
Speaking of 360, that man could shit a power brick.
m i rite?
That was an awful performance.
"I'm fat and my xbox is broke lol"
*shot of Heidi and Spencer from the Hills*
"I'm fat can you tell?"
*shot of the one guy who laughs*
"Have I told you I'm fat"?
"Laugh please".
Wow. I really want to see a two hour comedy reel by him.
120 minutes of fat jokes about himself.
It would be so painfully depressing that you would actually start laughing uncontrollably, before you broke down in tears and cried for the world in general.
Oh, that poor bastard. This is so awful. :(
Plus am I imagining things, or ?
Some of Ralphie May's stuff is pretty funny.. Guess it wasn't his day.
Wow. That's sad. He was actually pretty good on his last Comedy Central special, but this. Jesus, that's brutal.
Ralphie May need a new day job after this.
God i hate that racist redneck fat fuck. but then again it was on spike TV so you get what you paid for. NOTHING!!!
Maybe he shouldn't have tried to eat his Xbox 360.
wtf?! he used to be way funnier than this
The camera man is the person I feel sorry for, looking for laughing faces in that crowd is quite a chore.
He has two hour-long specials, that should suffice.
His first special is mostly about how funny black people act, the second is that generic "This is what married life is like, hyuck hyuck!" bullshit that nearly every comedian falls into eventually, when they run out of original material.
Some comedians just have a bad day. Most of them aren't on National Television though.
Did he not lose a lot of weight at one time? On that stupid VH1 show?
yay cute asian girl! now what was this about again? oh, right, the Gfaqs boards have better Xbox jokes, like Xbox 3fixme, and a couple of others iunno
i hate this guy, all his acts are nothing but him bitching.
His show on Comedy Central wasn't that bad, and definitely not THAT bad. The one I saw was after he left one of the MTV fat celebrities shows. So, yeah he got fatter, no kidding!
Hey was on the first or second "celebrity" fit club. Worked great for him.
You just know he's never going to lose weight because 99% of his "comedy" material will be useless.
:[
I am crying for that man.
That was definately a weak set, but I've seen bombing far worse than that. Ralphie's a funnier guy than that, but trying to crowbar in material he doesn't care about is going to net you those kinds of results. Still better than that Jamie Kennedy segment at E3.
@ssjmichael
99% of his "comedy" is useless.
No one was really funny that night.. The opening with Samuel L was horrible.. And I'm a fan. But yeah, this guy bombed. Not like Jamie Kennedy at E3 bombed, but still.
Have to wonder, when you make your career being a comedian making fun of yourself for being fat, would you ever lose weight? But who am I to judge I suppose.
dear god...just stop. make it stop.
@Trowble: Oh no you didn't.
I'm sure his day job is eating and his night job is making fun of himself.
Yeah, this was definately another Jamie Kennedy situation, where they had some comedian come in and then probably handed him a script about video game jokes to tell.
That, that was bad. I saw his special awhile ago,and it was pretty good. I wonder if theres like a curse on the VGA's (didnt this happen to Sarah W/e last year?)
Wow.... Ralphie usually is funnier than that, I agree. I see this more as proof of how absolutely horrible award shows have become. Seriously, they are utterly unwatchable, no matter what subject they involve.
I'm laughing because I'm hiding my tears.
I've seen him before and he was much better than this. I'm assuming he didn't write his stand-up for VGA's. I guess the writers sat around with no material besides fat jokes and a quick stab on the 360 problem? Ha-ha funny.
i saw his final performance on last comic standing. his format was basically making fun of himself and rampant bigotry concerning iraqis. "LIGHT EM UP! I DON GIV A MOTHA! I WANT LOWER GAS PRICES LIGHT EM ALL UP!" which was met by a round applause and cheering instead of laughs. i dont know why people like him so much, i guess he's just a personification of intense, hopeless, unspecific anger which is shared by so many. but for anyone who enjoys comedy for the truth that it can tell, he'll just make you depressed.
I was not paying much attention during last nights award show, but did they cut his bitchin about the 360 last night?
But this just gives me more of a reason to hate him.
@jmorrallee: Yeah I don't remember hearing that segment either.
Ouch. That was brutal to just watch.
Theres only two comedians today I find funny no matter how many times I see them; George Carlin and Lewis Black.
This guy is horrible, and he should die in a car fire.
@Roller:
It's called Writer's Guild Strike. This was most apparent in Tina Tequila's (or whatever the dumb whores name is) skit.
Wow.
So let's look at this one:
"I'm fat."
"My Xbox Broke."
"I'm fat."
"I'm fat."
"I like bigassed bathtubs"
"I'm fat."
"RACIST ASIAN JOKE"
"Oh yeah! I'm Fat"
And I think the funniest part of this entire video is that this tub of lard is giving the award for Best Sports title. This dude either needs to get a gastric bypass and stop eating or just die in a "big ass" bathtub by choking on a "big ass" Turduken so we can find something far more interesting than "Cass Elliot died choking on a ham sandwich." She at least had talent (and yeah, I know the sandwich is an urban legend).
This guy sucks, and is the case in point to get off your ass and jog around the block, lift some weights, or work a heavy bag. What a fucking failure.
Now let's crack jokes at the fat guy...*sigh*
I have to admit that his material for this did feel a bit forced.
AAAAAAHHHHH! My ears are bleeding! Damn you Kotaku for posting this! Damn you fat dying comedian for not dying of a heart attack before making it on stage!
@twesterm: True true.. Screw the writers guild, I blame their greedy asses for this.
@Trowble: I laughed more at that single comment than I did during that entire clip. ^_^
This stuff makes me embarrassed to be involved in or associated with videogames in any sense of the word.
It's so crass the way they try to promote this crap too, Heidi and Spencer, etc. This whole show is quite a trainwreck.
Wow ... wrong moves, dude. I love how he tries to recover with fat jokes. And making a stab at Asians was uh ... probably not the best move either. Better luck next time, chump.
Giant fucking facepalm. That was so painful to watch.
God, its like the end of Akira....only less funny.
I've always hated this guy, to tell the truth I'm glad he bombed, and I hope he keeps bombing until he gets phased out. His materials awful, and he seems like a douche of epic proportions.
Oh, he showed up at the wrong gamer awards, he showed up at the "we are all rich and skinny gamers here who play halo" awards instead of the "world of warcraft awards for people
