''My therapist's raised her rates...I guess I'm cured!'' ROFL

[@daverees6681]

Too True for words, Kara! cheers

[@Kinsey6King]

@@daverees6681 I don’t understand…help?

[@cheesecakelasagna]

@@Kinsey6King She can no longer afford to pay her therapist so she decided she's cured.

[@ZeeshanMuhammadX]

She has amazing energy and confidence. Jokes were on point too -- here's hoping Netflix or HBO lets her do a comedy hour. Here's to Aparna's current and future success 🙏

[@raywhite9069]

Why isn't this the highest like count?

[@raywhite9069]

@choudhry ali Damn... :( I hope not.

[@Seedyrom247]

It’s lucky she’s female, otherwise she would have gotten no laughs

[@yamantaka9365]

She's on Netflix "Standups" - check it out, its awesome

[@lillianabright03]

@@Seedyrom247 wow, it's just really hard to admit a woman can be funny, huh?

[@BlakieTT]

That "extra AF" and "can't even" really spoke to me. Hahaha.

[@Bill_Garthright]

Not to me, but I think maybe the battery on my hearing aid was getting low. :)

[@Seedyrom247]

Literally have no idea what that means.

[@Bill_Garthright]

@@Seedyrom247 Me, neither. But I'm 68, so I figured maybe I have an excuse. :)

[@HexIsme]

@@Bill_Garthright "Extra AF" generally means dramatic, or over the top, or trying way too hard, usually in reaction to something completely uneventful. "Can't even" generally means shutting down or complete avoidance in reaction to something (Can be everyday, can be dramatic, can be funny). Can also mean being confused/exasperated to the point of no words. Hope that helps!

[@Bill_Garthright]

@@HexIsme I can't even. :)

[@cheesecakelasagna]

The fact that she has so many zingers matched with her deadpan delivery is so fresh.

[@madnessbydesign1415]

I love Aparna. Her dry delivery kills me every time... :)

[@tinytim8173]

The shit she says just isn't funny

[@jeffcowdrey1578]

@@tinytim8173 Of course not. What she's saying is horrifying. What's funny is how she says it. That's how it is. Funny that.

[@madnessbydesign1415]

Tiny Tim, Her jokes are more intellectual. Maybe intellectual humor just isn't your thing...

[@tinytim8173]

@@madnessbydesign1415 her jokes aren't intelligent their bland and boring and poorly written and awkward and fake it's really pretty terrible I can't imagine listening to that and thinking there is anything redeeming about it it was just generally shit

[@madnessbydesign1415]

Tiny Tim - Wow, you have the bitterness of an ex-boyfriend. So let me get this straight: You watch a comedian you clearly hate. Then you decide to waste more of your life reading the comments. Then you feel the need to waste even more of your life vomiting your opinion out (repeatedly). I don't think I can trust your opinion of what 'intelligent' is, since you've failed to demonstrate a grasp of it... Side note: criticizing someone else's writing when you can't use basic spelling, grammar, or punctuation doesn't exactly sell your point. :)

[@platystrophia]

“Psychologists thirsty for your issues...” 🤣

[@allandnothing5987]

lmao

[@iwanttodiebutalsoilovepizza]

love this. Her voice in Bojack is such a stand out.

[@andyl4822]

She is an absolute star! I'm sorry to admit this is the first time I've ever actually heard her speak because I just know her from Twitter but I cannot believe how many good jokes she has and how consistently clever and witty she is. Like she outdoes herself. Most of my favorite comedians have their really good jokes and then their middle material but this girl is just bananas talented. I guess I just feel like it's one thing to be able to write a good joke and deliver it one by one without it needing to connect to the rest of a routine, but I'm so stoked to see that she carries it even better and with mind-blowing fluidity in person as well!

[@msabolijoshi]

Her timing is PERFECT

[@ZeroSumJ1]

I’m on my phone too much. But then I find a gem like this vid where I tell myself if I wasn’t on my phone I would’ve missed out on watching this.

[@broccoli9270]

i feel the same. every. single. time.

[@camillewise]

Aparna’s dry, deadpan delivery was hilarious! Also, I love that Stephen’s show has been having all these comedians of color lately!

[@blupunk01]

I highly recommend her half hour on season 2 of The Standups on Netflix.

[@gogogogogirl]

I've rewatched her episode 10 tens. Sheer understated genius.

[@arman0612]

Yes, she deserves a full hour special!

[@jimsvideos7201]

Cerebral humour, my favourite.

[@hivesfan712]

Therapy jokes 😂😂 I just related with this so hard

[@ebenezergatsby5848]

They weren't jokes. It's also pandering to the highest degree. Notice you didn't say funny. Just that you related to it.

[@hivesfan712]

I did find it funny though... Notice the Emojis? 😊

[@andrewjohnson6716]

I love intelligent humor. Unique to see someone with such high energy mastering dry delivery.

[@alissaasmr5646]

It’s like asking your drug dealer if they have any tips to get clean 😂🤣😂🤣🤣

[@hipnhappenin]

Yay. She’s back! Missed her bits. Edit: *comedy bits

[@zaidjamal]

That edit made this uncomfortable

[@kaskaskas]

@@zaidjamal ahaha omg

[@aepet22]

she’s comedy gold - loved all the therapy bits! he humor is literally refreshing

[@Astrobrant2]

Very unique humor. Refreshing. She should say something about wandering aimlessly in the void between millennial and x-gen.

[@RatKeeperDude]

What is the void between millenial and x-gen?

[@bustercaps]

I think it’s a reference for older millennials who missed the gen x cutoff and feels little connection to the millennial generation.

[@asterixe1]

She should definitely talk about that. Her vibe is definitely snooty New Yorker Xennial.

[@informitas0117]

Being a xellenial is just asking for trouble.

[@lipsohlips97]

The object permanence joke!! Probably couldnt have appreciated as much as I did if I werent studying for mcat 🤣

[@jennylee9761]

That thing about Psychology Today is true, they do have lists of therapists based on zip code or postal code, US and Canada. If I had the money I'd be set.

[@virginiaoflaherty2983]

She is great, love her sense of humor.

[@christinamorris3763]

i love her true sarcasm. honesty can be funny. love it

[@kelseycoca]

That national monument , unionizing, and object permanence jokes deserve WAY more credit, who am I kidding? All of her jokes do lol
