AWKWARD Black Girl | "The Stop Sign" [S. 1, Ep. 1]

[@mayahd.7201]

I watched this show when I was in 8th grade, now I'm in college... And now she's on HBO.. I loved her ever since!

[@birdi3beez]

Oh my goodness same! Kinda sorta. I watched this when I was in HS now I'm in college watching insecure.

[@shayshaycabana]

Timayah Dixon like isn’t this crazy?! I just said the same thing

[@lover813able]

Girl, me too!

[@unbelaneablebeautyy]

Mayah D. Same girl omg!

[@VaneFresa]

Yesss same I started watching her in junior high!!

[@Bubzietown]

She’s literally still the same person. That speaks volumes about her character. She’s clearly a very genuine and honest person. That’s why she’s made it so big.

[@probablyprocrastinating6410]

I remember watching this in college and being UPSET when she stopped making these. Now me and my friends just finished breaking down her and molly’s relationship on insecure. I’m so happy she got the recognition she deserved!

[@corbinlopez650]

T L i love this

[@GoodOne917]

Issa just got nominated for an Primetime Emmy and some ppl don't even know about our ABG that this woman was! #KZbin should be making a deal out of this. Because they didn't do it for lonelylisland or the Mail Order Comedy guys!

[@missmimi610]

Girl same!! My high school bestie told me about this back in college almost 10 years ago! It was so great and sad when it stoped and then her she is now! So fucking proud!

[@DiamondDivaMusic]

I lowkey wanna hear the breakdown

[@CarmasCamera]

Right 😭😭😭😭😭

[@SA-wg2mi]

I love how she never changed who she is. Watching this and watching insecure, she has always been real since day 1

[@gemini29ism]

Basically she is describing how it is to have social anxiety. Welcome to my world😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I'm the same

[@gaybae331]

Her raps killlllll me 😂😂😂😂 this needs to come back :(

[@Mahahemingway]

emily m Yo I've been working as a director and what not and think ya should feel free to watch a little something I put together. It's a little comedy web show thing that are like our Adventures before Adventures. Basically this revolves around a tattoo that we never see and a some walking in-between. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKbMi35jg51pmNk

[@QueenKunta]

em M it’s back and blacker than ever: Insecure on HBO

[@alidi13]

In 5 years, your life can change so much; this is an inspiration! I remember watching this for the first time, now I'm re-watching it in awe of how Issa Rae blew up. Amazing!

[@no-one00]

alidi13 imagine now 2019!!

[@Dino-no6tq]

It’s been five years now 😮

[@Makeupgal3000]

omg 5 years later!

[@atalina08]

Im mad I didnt know about her until the trailers for her new HBO show

[@reggiw.4708]

I'm just happy to see I'm not the only one. 😄

[@DW20uno]

Me too.

[@1987neka]

atalina08 you have a lot of catching up to do!

[@KettiexD]

I heard about it but never watched it until now and I'm not sure why

[@LifeIsNotorious]

KettiexD I did too and never watched it.

[@EvilChris2010]

Watching this after seeing the season finale of insecure. 1. Issa DOES NOT AGE. My girl has the same perfect skin and smile for over 10 years. 2. Issa’s personality and vibe are so on brand and shine through in both shows. If you’ve seen this and insecure, you feel the same energy. 3. I love this growth!

[@TheRighteousGabss]

Back AFTER 'Insecure' series finale!!!! I love how her and God collaborated on her life! Her journey is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@spencergray9315]

Yeeeee we still here for her

[@HannahSmith3]

And 11 years later. She's in a film with Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie. I'm so happy 💖

[@mama.mango_]

Now she's President Barbie 💗💅🏾

[@CocoaPuff01]

Yassss 💅🏾

[@viragokemet]

I remember watching this on my lunch break at a job I HATED after graduating from college…I was so happy when she got a show on HBO and I love her acceptance speeches 😂😂

[@Elijah-bj8pv]

Are you supposed to acknowledge them EVERY time? 😂 only so many fake laughs I can do… 😂😂😂 I FELT THAT

[@bintazang5353]

I miss this show sooooo much

[@dival9605]

and the unwritten rules

[@413jmee]

i remember watching this in like 2011/12 and not knowing how big this got??? apparently???? and now fast forward 5-6 years and while trying for the life of me to remember what this was called i see her face in an ad for her show and i couldn't be happier, not even gonna lie. this was amazing then and still holds up today, and i'm so happy that "insecure" is a thing and you can bet your ass im gonna watch it.

[@bajanqt123]

I agree, I watched some of her work for yrs and enjoyed it. Really good to see how her hard work paid off

[@Mel-vk9gi]

Jaime Sell Omg I was saying the same thing. I seen her on TV, and I was so proud because I use to watch these episodes years ago. I've seen all these episodes, but wanted to come back for a good laugh.

[@JohnsonKayla12]

This was so relatable to me when I first watched it years and years ago... Still is and I still come back to watch it every few months 💙 best webshow (show really) I've ever seen. Love Issa Rae

[@AvalonMorley]

+KeiyaValecourt Same here, and I'm not even young or black. I just love it, and am awkward. Also, the talent is magnificent.

[@jaimill16]

She's coming out with a new show called Insecure on HBO!

[@AvalonMorley]

jaimill16 Is that recent news? I really hope so. I know back in 2013, when I first came across the series, there was some noise about an HBO deal, but then I hadn't heard anything about it in all this time. She's so talented and funny, and I just love this series!

[@jaimill16]

I think so I just recently saw a commercial for it on HBO they didn't say an expected date though :/

[@nicoletriplett1963]

+jaibae oct 9th

[@iheartny2001]

*AWKWARD BLACK GIRL IS COMING TO HBO Y'ALL*

[@tmmartinesq.6216]

iheartny2001 " - Insecure"

[@akittynamedcat]

bye

[@iheartny2001]

jipdhqdiqh Google it, it's true. #bye

[@aminatadiena]

Fabiana Di Santi then why are you here.

[@thatssojayah6886]

Reading this comment after you have already watched 2 seasons of Insecure 😊 in 2017

[@BallinCougar15]

Came back to watch this and forgot how funny it was lmao. I'm so proud and thankful for Issa Rae's new show on HBO. She made her dream come true and never forgot about us ABG's :)

[@PrettyPoison93]

The glow up is real!! I remember watching this my senior year in high school. I was captivated. Now Ms Issa Rae is on HBO and newly married!! I’m so happy to see a black woman doing so well!!

[@OooLaLaBlog]

New fan here, I love your show Insecure! So relatable!

[@badgyrl310]

I still love watching these cause I am an awkward black girl. Funny how everybody's names are letters D, A, & J. Lol @ the fake phone call, or in my case pretending to text or check messages.

[@perpetuainmotion]

and then theres Cece lol

[@ehhh2365]

***** LOL same here! I live for this show!

[@JayLeiRay]

This is in my recommendations in 2020 lol it recommends it every 3 years.

[@michelenewilkerson3776]

Who is coming back to ABG after the end of Insecure to pay homage to Issa's beginning?

[@dani4704]

Just saw the trailer for her new HBO show and had to come back and reminisce. In high school, there was no show on television I could relate to. Then a friend told me about this show and I was hooked instantly. I'm overjoyed Issa made the bold choice to share with the world her incredible talents. And, in doing that, she gave so many of us a show we could actually relate to and helped us realize we weren't the only awkward black girl out there. So proud of Issa. I can't wait for Insecure to air!

[@ifiehill1789]

Thank you Issa Rae for this masterpiece. As a black girl, it was so good to see a portrayal of a black woman just being herself.

[@perdybirdie]

i forgot how much I loved this show...I need more seasons!!!

[@skeaneable]

I think she have a role in sci-fi series 'The 100' as one those marauders on the surface.

[@kiwthebeauty]

I been a fan since day one! So proud of you and all of your current and future accomplishments!

[@itaintover93]

I was a senior in High when I came across this. Now, I'm 28. Time flies :(

[@cberry6139]

Watched in 2012, watching again in 2022.

[@mizzbossi13]

She's a Capricorn! Lmao I had a feeling. No wonder I feel like I could relate to her & we're so similar. I've had too many awkward occasions and encounters in my life & she channels my every thought. #LoveHer

[@SistaWithRealHair]

OMG...lmao!!!! I've had a few of these awkward moments this had me CRACKIN UP! LOL

[@Kay-io7qd]

Meeee tooooo!!! Mine is always the fake phone call. Lol😫😫😫😫

[@somethingsarebetterleftuns9595]

😂😂😂😭 girl same

[@themiserykid]

Reading her book and had to come back to see where it all started. I just love this type of awkward, she has a great personality and is hilarious.

[@socaluv64]

I can be so awkward myself. You never know what my mood will be. I warn my close friends. One day I'm speaking and full of conversation, then 3 days later I might avoid you altogether. Love it ! 😆😆😆

[@elegantlady8312]

Who else is watching this in 2021? I used to live for these 3-10 minutes 10 years ago 🤣. She was bound to be a star ❤️

[@diegovillalobos5364]

Why did i miss Issa for so long? how many more cool youtube channels are out there?

[@hassan6216]

right, I just heard about her Fallon

[@iCoily]

You should check out Black & Sexy TV. They've gained popularity over the years so now they have a streaming service. Issa actually appeared in an episode of one of their shows.

[@woodsonnworthondallastohou4683]

Diego Villalobos that's exactly what I'm thinking

[@cassandramiller1665]

Diego Villalobos lewis love and family

[@Miraclegrowthwater]

check out the channel Money Is Our Goal. Great Unique webseries

[@Potentialaj]

Issa is so good in this episode. I'm still dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AhmedX8]

Issa Rae was ahead of the game!

[@itsaudri]

Came back here after the season finale of Insecure. I've been a fan since the beginning and I'm just so proud of this woman!

[@madjoabutterfly]

Me too, day one Awkward black girl fan!

[@netoramos5509]

i would like donald glover and issa rae in the same tv show. lol

[@kiabeetv9784]

omg yess

[@___zeke___7581]

This was the 1st thing I’ve ever seen from Issa Rae back when I was 11 . You can definitely see the formula for what would become Insecure

[@WealthisoftheMind]

And now she has her own show on HBO. How crazy!

[@coachbtvla]

Best thing I've ever watched. Drooling from laughter!!

[@artyssamornay]

When I first watched this I searched for the Booty Shorts song EVERYWHERE lol. But then I read in her book that her and her friends made it 😂

[@nissimusic2]

I loved this more than insecure

[@Fruitiisuspect]

This is still fucking funny in 2023.. she’s literally an icon

[@LeeAnne1990]

i want a 3rd season so bad.

[@mspayne32]

I'm so mad I am just now seeing this for the first time! I didn't know anything about this prior to watching her new hit show Insecure on HBO! She is truly my new best friend in my head. LMFAO Hopefully I don't get fired for laughing too loud at work. LOL Love Issa Rae!

[@DemureDrey]

Every couple years I come back to binge watch this series. So many good memories lol, still funny as hell 😆

[@CyraeBayBay]

I’m so sad this is the end of insecure 🥺 but wow she’s really come a long way. Congratulations on your success Issa we love to see it! 🖤

[@loveGtime]

Please never take awkward black girl series off KZbin 😆😆

[@ceijanaexo]

I never knew this is where she started from. I absolutely fell in love with her on Insecure. ♥️

[@bartdude82]

I think I first saw this my senior year of high school and man this series was the shit. I was so disappointed when they didn't make a 3rd season. I need closure...

[@KenzieTaylorlovekenziie]

She is coming out with a show called Insecure on HBO it kind of favors this series

[@MichelleCarithersAuthor]

these were fantastic episodes back in the day.....will definitely watch all episodes again😂

[@SDeeze]

Tears! This was my ish! I'm proud of issa's glow up!!!! She deserves it!!!

[@gilda5101]

[@Diimondc]

Where my addiction started.. rewatching the series again for the, idk lost count how many times I've actually watched it but I LOVE ABG SOOOO MUCH IT'S MY LIFE IN A WEB SERIES

[@ShugaAnnSpyce]

Had to come back and comment congratulations on this video! Now she's nominated for a Golden Globe! So proud of her!

[@theefifthelement]

This was life in college 2011/2012! I used to wait for every new episode. It was the first time I’ve truly felt seen as a fellow awkward black girl. 🫶🏾💕🥰

[@ABGwithSass2]

Yes!!!! I was watching this in college faithfully.

[@amorderose]

I remember watching this when I was about 11 or 12 and falling in love with it. Now I'm 20 and get to see you kill it on Insecure! Please keep the amazing content coming, Issa; I'll continue to support :)

[@osquaremusic]

Came here for the comments, isn’t it amazing seeing her journey! I remember watching this back in high school in 2013-2014.. incredible. Good sh* Issa Rae!

[@Elijah-bj8pv]

I graduated high school in 2013. Can’t believe it’s almost 2025 😳 🕰️

[@alexismartin4907]

Watched all the seasons 2 years ago. She's come a long way.

[@Emalye.Saeeeeeeeee]

I remember first watching this series in middle school. Now I'm a senior. I wish I could go back to 2011. 💓

[@Emalye.Saeeeeeeeee]

Update: still watching and now I’m a sophomore in college.

[@greyvevo9306]

I think we all be having awkward moments like this 😂 I use to think it was just me

[@Maoabg]

I swear, when I found out who Issa was, I was so happy and upset at the same time. Upset because I hadn't known of her and this series sooner but happy that I found someone JUST LIKE ME. From the twa cut cause ppl made fun of my natural hair all during school to rapping to myself in the mirror, to writing the raps in a tablet, to all of the awkward situations I've been in.

[@MiaCarter7]

I remember how into this I was when it first came out, with my lil highschool self. Its refreshing to see how far Issa has come!! 💜💜💜

[@denishad720]

Had to come rewatch this after the Insecure Series Finale

[@debisis]

Bitch this is what should be on Netflix....eight stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!******* *

[@vanessa.Gutierrez940]

Only the OG now about this KZbin show 😂❤ I literally love her sm.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I can relate on so many levels, I’m definitely an awkward black female.

[@brahmabkitty03]

She just bodies me! Why am I just finding out about this?

[@feyrol42]

I used to watch this back in the day, 2011 ...? Now Issa is a mainstream celev, damn, time flies.

[@s.p9411]

[@msadraburime]

this is one of the biggest reasons why she is where she is today.

[@starbabi77]

This is a constant rewatch for me...I respect Issa so much....I hope to meet her one day🤗

[@coziigurl]

Can't believe it's been 5 years

[@RoseMafiaAUS]

I never watched this but I can see Insecure all of this . I'm so happy for Issa Rae 💓 she's such an icon. #brokenpu$$y

[@CocoaPuff01]
