Jay London

Jay London (born September 12, 1966, in The Bronx) is an American stand-up comic whose one-liner jokes made him a favorite on NBC's second and third seasons of Last Comic Standing. He had a thing for saying "Thank you" after some of his one-liners, depending on crowd reaction. He also acted very self-conscious and would randomly badmouth himself, especially if the crowd was left dumbstruck by a joke and didn't laugh much. It was all part of the act.

One-liners

• (In a tone suggesting a reference to his upbringing) I was brought up on charges.

• So how do you like my overall look? (Jay's usual stage attire was bib overalls)

• You might recognize me, I'm the fourth guy from the left on evolutionary chart.

• I get all my hair products at PetCo. (Jay's hair is long, curly, and quite messy)

• You know what burns me? Matches.

• I was born nine months premature.

• I work at Bed Bath and Beyond. I work in the Beyond section. When someone asks me where the Bath section is, I say "It's beyond me."

• It all started when my dog received free rollover minutes.

• People read me but they don't subscribe.

• After all these years I had the privilege of naming my private part, because we all have nicknames. So I named my private part Pride. It's not much, but at least I have my Pride.

• I went to a urologist. He told me I could go at any time.

• My father would take me to the playground, and put me on mood swings.

• A guy gave me a job at an information booth, no questions asked.

• My whole family is lactose intolerant and when we take pictures we can't say cheese.

• I went to a record store and asked for 50 Cent. They kicked me out for pan-handling.

• I went to the store and bought lady fingers. When I got home I noticed one of the fingers was missing so I went back to the store and the manager was nice enough to give me the finger.

• I saw a sign that said "Left Lane Closed." So I went someplace else.

Self-degradation

• Does anybody know what I'm doing up here?

• Take my life, please.

• Thank you.

• Am I bothering you, miss?

• It'll be over soon, miss.

• Let me move over here. (Jay would then move barely a few inches to the left or right. He generally repeats this a few times per show)

• Sir, would you please come up here and kick the shit out of me?

Set-enders

• Did you know it was a year ago today?

• Well, I'd like to leave you with a joke.
