Phil Laak is widely known as being one of the most entertaining poker pros around due to his ridiculous antics and high energy levels both at the poker table and away from it. From doing push ups at the table, to standing behind the dealer to peak at the cards as they are dealt, to hiding under his hooded sweatshirt, he always supplies entertainment and laughs to an industry that takes itself far too seriously far too often.

Laak’s most recent ‘achievement’ was breaking the record for poker endurance. You can read more about Laak’s record-setting performance here; cliff’s notes are that he didn’t just break the record, he outright smashed it by playing for over 100 hours straight at the Bellagio, and managed to scoop a $6k profit, all of which went to charity.

Here are our Top 5 Funniest Laak Moments:

1. Phil Laak gets an oil rubdown from a strange man

On I Bet You, in what can only be described as a sick bet, Laak and Antonio decide to flip a coin and the loser has to get a random guy on the beach to rub suntan oil on their back. Laak picks tails and the coin lands heads, and he has to head on down the beach to ask a dude to rub him down. The 1st victim quickly, and rightfully, says no. Surprisingly, the 2nd guy that he asks somehow willingly agrees to rub Laak down. Awkward and unbelievable.

2. The Unabomber does push ups at the final table

The WPT win that put Phil Laak on the map saw him perform just about ever antic imaginable at the poker table. When his Ace came on the river he would roll around on the ground in celebration as the crowd chanted “Bomber! Bomber! Bomber!” followed up by a series of push ups. The Unabomber is always energized to the max and push ups do little to slow him down.

3. Phil performs a dance routine

This display is so painful to watch that it is hilarious. The bet between Phil and Antonio is for $5,000 on who is the better dancer. Phil’s dance routine is painfully funny.

4. More of a Man

Another I Bet You classic. Phil Laak and Antonio get their sperm tested to see who the bigger man is. One line from the Unabomber says it all “I am crazy with my sperm! My sperm are insanely powerful!”

5. Laak “I lived in NY too long, I’m too paranoid”

On Poker After Dark, Laak is counting out the chips in the pot for the dealer when she asks him “Don’t you trust the dealer?” His response “I lived in NY too long, I’m too paranoid”
