[@mattboyle6544]

That audience did not give her anywhere near enough credit that was ridiculous

[@wallboi7]

Glad she got a better crowd on her comedy central bit

[@PoeLemic]

Agree with you both. She's got real talent.

[@knifedreamer]

Seems like they didn’t think it was that funny.... you know comedy is subjective right?

[@mattboyle6544]

Knife Dreamer no I never thought about it like that before wow

[@knifedreamer]

Matt Boyle - Seems like it, your comment makes it seem like this is objectively funny and the audience did her some type of injustice. I wouldn’t have laughed much either

[@harlemdeni]

I mean, she ain't The Greatest but GOD DAMN that audience is dead, bruh.

[@cipher88101]

There is a reason for that and they laughed more than I did.

[@ernestkovach3305]

Hello , because Mcflys out there with too much space between the ears...She is just not funny ...AT ALL!

[@tomfrazier1613]

She is someone I'd like to see in person. Very very dry. She has discovered the humor in California placenames. I really liked her AND (ital.) would not pass up the opportunity to c#m on her t!ts. I think she would think that's funny and only (understandably) get nervous if I said it in person, and added that it would be an homage (ital.) And I also think she would find that amusing.

[@ernestkovach3305]

Because bros and sister know brohammer that she lacks a sense of humor...something fatal for that particular profession.

[@npcrah]

I wonder why I'm so alone on this, but I've been watching a ton of comedians, laugh factory, ari's This Can't Be Happening, Dry Bar, and I've only written down about 5 comedians names to check out more of their work, but this girl made it HIGH up on my list to check out more. It's really reaaaally dry, and instead of making that dryness a "part" of her act, it's just a trait she "owns" instead of making jokes AROUND it. Make sense? That's what I'm thinking, anyway

[@richardpatterson4312]

This chick is funny. Audience sucked. Most of these commenters require others laughing to tell them when something is funny. Seriously.

[@guthax30]

Richard Patterson It's not that...the audience is like an instrument. If you have a poor instrument the music gonna suck no matter how good you are. Her jokes and stories are all well-crafted but without a good audience it sort of...hmm..."mutes" or "deadens" the jokes i suppose. i don't know the term for it. Without a good audience that's having a lot of fun the jokes aren't as funny. they're still funny, but not as funny. Also different jokes require different kinds of audiences and different crowd-sizes to work correctly. The football player bit that she teased probably wouldn't have gone off well with this crowd for example which is why she she felt the room out and decided not to do it or more likely just planned on teasing it and never doing it to begin with.

[@AnthonyFletcher]

I don't get the 1,000 dislikes...

[@anemoi6803]

eh, yes and no. I've seen her do a similar routine (lots of reused material, nothing wrong with this, its just overlap) and that time she preformed better. Her punchlines were more on point, her deliveries were better. I think something messed up her sense of timing in this gig. She was still good don't get me wrong, but she's been better

You left 16 comments -- no exaggeration, 16 fucking comments about this girl LOL. Ultimate cringe. If you dont like her, you dont like her and that's fine. But you going on a mission typing paragraph after paragraph after paragraph after paragraph between 16 COMMENTS is not only bizarre, insane, and creepy, but generally speaking, not a good look for you at all. Amazing how someone performing a 5minute routine could create so much rage and cause someone to spend more time than the set itself leaving comments... 16 of then to be exact, some of which were 3 in succession bc others didnt respond immediately LOL.. Because you 100% without a doubt spent more time than her sets duration commenting and leaving comments.

[@armyofshea7941]

She is great! Stand up is tough, period. She’s working a non existent crowd and killing it. “May I xxx on your xxxx” troll joke didn’t get laughs because it was too honest. Every man in that crowd was immediately thinking how he could ask her that later.

[@itmademesignup9508]

Wow, your sense of humor is laughably low bar. She's got some funny jokes, but "killing it"? Ha ha ha...not even close.

[@vladimirputin40]

You think every man wants to cum on random women's boobs?

[@kiraPh1234k]

No its just not a good joke. A couple reasons people may not find it funny: 1. Its incorrect, but that itself is not the joke. 2. Theyve heard it from every garbage English teacher that doesnt understand English but thinks theyre clever. Number 2 is going to be the more common reason, as many people have heard that joke every year for over a decade if they have been through school.

[@Cryo_Gen]

Lot of armchair comedians here lol. This was funny, kind of a shit crowd tbh

[@yo0oheather]

I LOVE HER I agree that audience is totally dead.

[@garrettlees]

4:55 "I mostly just lay there." Ah, Ms. English teacher, of course you meant, "I mostly just lie there."

[@briannasmith7746]

The past tense of the verb lie is lay. The word lie does work in the sentence as it doesn't have a prepositional time phrase, but seeing as she is talking about past experiences it could still be correct as is.

[@garrettlees]

@@briannasmith7746 No no, from context she clearly is not using the simple past but describing a habitual action that requires the present tense of the verb

[@briannasmith7746]

Garrett Lees looking back at the surrounding sentences you're definitely right. I misremembered the thinking bit she goes into after as being past tense. Oh, the flimsiness of memory. Sorry to waste your time!

It takes a lot of guts to do stand up. Your description is exactly right.

[@ernestkovach3305]

@@TheDesertwalker It takes talent too, if you actually want to make a living which sadly, she lacks .That said, is she hopeless or brain damaged? No. She sorely needs material that is FUNNY. She either has to be talented in this vein or else hire some one who is actually FUNNY to write for her. There is just no escaping this bottom line vitally important straight from the heart advice. Constructively, She needs to be less mono or unemotionally conversational in her tone, and needs more gestures to emphasize points and better facial expressions. Otherwise bad jokes + looking and acting like an empty stationary clothes rack = boring and not funny.

[@ernestkovach3305]

A train wreck in progress, you mean!

[@npcrah]

Maybe it's something about people that watch a big variety of things often on youtube? Something something instant gratification? Because I LOVED her, took down her name to find more, after watching a ton of comedians from Ari's shows full of them, laugh factory... I didn't expect the comments to have the ratio of loving/not-loving her it does. And her tickets are going for $50 on ticketam. So idk why she's so divisive opinions toward her, and she's a doctoral fellow at the same time. I don't know, I just don't. know

[@jon.e]

Her energy is perfect, her segways are good, almost everything is good...it's that delivery. The timing is off. I can't figure out why exactly, but the jokes don't have a landing, even when they're built up decently well! She is so close! I hope she keeps doing it, because she could seriously be hilarious!

The jokes have no landing because they are not funny. It's called diving off the cliff at supersonic speed.
