Comedians Find Humor in Colonoscopies
From Robin Williams to Robert Klein, Classic Comedy Routines Tackle Uncomfortable Exam
"A Gastroenterologist Walks Into a Bar..."
In the world of comedy, few topics are off-limits, and even the most uncomfortable medical procedures can provide fodder for laughter. Case in point: the colonoscopy, a potentially life-saving exam that has been the subject of countless jokes and puns.
With its inherent absurdity and discomfort, the colonoscopy has proved to be a rich source of comedy material for some of the biggest names in stand-up. Robin Williams, Robert Klein, and Tim Hawkins have all delivered classic routines on the topic, finding humor in the exam's invasive nature and the often awkward interactions between patients and healthcare professionals.
In one particularly memorable routine, Klein quips, "A gastroenterologist walks into a bar. The bartender says, 'I'd offer you a booth, but I assume you want a stool.'" And in a more recent YouTube video, Hawkins sings a humorous song about the joys (and occasional misadventures) of a colonoscopy experience.
