Bob Newhart’s hysterical “driving instructor” routine will have you in stitches. The legendary comedian did his iconic and classic driving instructor bit, and as expected, he brought down the house. Watch the short but uproarious clip to see him perform his funny, side-splitting driving instructor routine.

Stand-up comedy has to be one of the hardest, most challenging things to do. You’re up on stage all by yourself, telling jokes and (hopefully) getting laughs. If things on stage don’t go according to plan, there is nothing to hide behind or anyone else to blame. It’s all on the comedian, and that’s a frightening thought for most people.

However, despite the difficulties surrounding and involved in stand-up comedy, many ardently pursue it and attempt to make it their entire career. Many have succeeded in the stand-up comedy world, becoming legends. If asked to do so, anyone could rattle off a handful of very successful comedians. One of those names mentioned is likely to be Bob Newhart.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Bob does his driving instructor routine. It is precisely as it sounds: Bob is a driving instructor trying to guide someone who has encountered many issues while trying to pass the driving test. The situation he creates and the conversation he has with the woman and everyone else who pops up in the scenario will leave you laughing long after the clip ends.

It has to be physically impossible to watch this clip of the late, beloved comedian and not laugh along with the studio audience.  It’s as funny today as when he first performed it.

Another important aspect of this routine and his entire stand-up career was his ability to get people to laugh themselves silly without being crude or using profanity. He was funny and did not have to resort to shock humor to get a laugh.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”
