Humor & Life Quote by Chris Kattan

"You guys are the best. I'll see you in a couple of hours. I haven't seen another human being in 13 hours and I'm running out of bottles for my urine. Later guys!"

About this Quote

Kattan’s charm here is that he swings wildly between wholesome fan-service and survivalist confession in the same breath, like a celebrity meet-and-greet hijacked by a stranded hiker’s diary. “You guys are the best” is the standard performer-to-audience love tap, the automatic courtesy of someone trained to keep the crowd warm. Then he undercuts it with a deadline (“I’ll see you in a couple of hours”), a promise that sounds professional until the next line reveals he’s not busy rehearsing; he’s isolated, possibly stuck, and narrating it with the breezy cadence of someone ordering wings.

The subtext is classic comedian triage: if you can’t control the situation, control the tone. “I haven’t seen another human being in 13 hours” builds a mild thriller premise, but he refuses suspense. Instead he detonates the most human, least glamorous detail possible: urine bottles. It’s bodily-function honesty used as a punchline and a status update, collapsing the distance between “celebrity” and “person with a problem.” The escalation (“running out of bottles”) adds stakes without ever asking for pity; it’s a logistical crisis rendered absurd by specificity.

Contextually, it plays like backstage banter or a video message during travel delays or a remote shoot, where performers have to narrate downtime and keep fans engaged. “Later guys!” snaps the whole thing back into casual camaraderie, as if improvisation can paper over the indignity. The intent isn’t just to get a laugh; it’s to metabolize vulnerability into something shareable, a joke that doubles as proof he’s still in the room with you, even when he’s literally alone.
