I genuinely think we need some more talented female comedians out there like her. Not copy cats that make careers out of stealing other comedians jokes.

It's the neurodiversityn methinks

[@bthorner33]

@sluttyMapleSyrup well, Mulaney has the ADHD that he features very prominently, and that is neurodiverse, and the way it frames the perspective is different than neurotypical. Noticing things others would ignore and see "unimportant" detail as equal priority as "important" and telling it as so is very much an ND trait. But that's just my experience being ND

[@bradeast8021]

@@bthorner33 I think in this instance you're right it feels a bit more directly related to neurodivergence... like her attempts to reiterate and structure of reiterating why it is relevant yet not relevant information for her in her social engagement and almost sets the scene with stimuli as required... "added stress" haven't thought about Mulaney's relationship to ADHD though, makes all the sense in the world... but as someone with ADHD (and without ASD) you're still in my opinion kinda closer to the point... for ADHD it would feature as the whole point for the conversation, and if it hadn't started that way would have headed in that direction before the pun discussion anyway

@@perpetuallyconfused6608 Whippets (and greyhounds and all the sighthounds really) generally have pretty vulnerable feet and legs. Very little hair typically, no fat and not that much muscle, it's mostly tendons and bone covered by a thin skin and thin hair. (You can actually see through their legs at a few points if you hold a light behind it) They often need some kind of protection. Our whippet almost always has some kind of wound on his legs if he's been running around a forest or dog park etc. So some owners get them some extra protection for that reason.

As a women's health np, as soon as she said "pouch of douglas" I went, wait, surely she didn't mean that. But she did! Ahahaha. And that suitcase metaphor was perfect.😂

[@joykeenan3595]

when I first watched a clip of her I cried. when you're a member of a few marginalised groups it can be so lonely and isolating never hearing anyone who really sees the world like you or who has shared similar experiences. It was absolutely amazing to hear somone I can relate to telling her story and I owe hannah the world for making my life feel so much less isolated.

I laughed so hard I cried at "clap"

[@hannahh.]

If someone told me "Did you know, it takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown?" I'd respond with "Oh that's cool!" and think that was a random fun fact. I still thought that was what it was supposed to be in the video until 30 seconds she said that.

[@EternalEris]

Its not true though. Smiling takes more muscles. I'm autistic. I needed to know the truth once :)

[@hannahh.]

@@EternalEris It did sound a little off! Good to know there's a fact checker :>

[@mkfaruki]

But the fact it was not small talk (arrogant narcissitic assumption) just a stranger pointing out she was scowling for no reason (possibly reaction to schizophrenic hallucination)

[@theabeasty]

@@mkfaruki As a psychology major I have to ask, what the hell are you on about?

[@rachelfox8108]

@@mkfaruki I guarantee, when most men tell a random woman to smile, it's not because they have any genuine concern for her, it's because they've been taught women have to look beautiful all the time, the sight of a woman frowning makes them uncomfortable, and they feel entitled to telling her to do something about it. They may think they're doing it to make her feel better (because they're also taught that women are supposed to want to be beautiful all the time, and that makes them happiest), or at least tell themselves that, and yet it won't. It's about power dynamics.

[@jonathanbaird]

This was such a fun, intelligent special. The meta jokes and art critique toward the end had me rolling. It's a shame KZbin has a disproportionately large share of fragile neckbeards who feel threatened by witty women in comedy. With 'Nanette' and 'Douglas', Hannah has carved out a top tier spot where she stands among the comedy greats.

[@Jplp5643]

That is blatantly false.

[@jonathanbaird]

Jplp5643: A+ rebuttal. Bravo. How long did it take you to compose such a bulletproof comment?

[@Jplp5643]

Jonathan Baird allow me to explain. Can you explain to me what part of this is considered comedy instead of commentary? There’s no setup, no punchline. She’s not witty. It’s stupid Netflix continues to promote her instead of other, more funny female comedians.

[@jonathanbaird]

Jplp5643 First, comedy is subjective. If people didn’t like her style and message, she wouldn’t be selling out theaters and scoring specials. Second, this is a 7 minute clip of an hour-long show. There is a fair amount of context and meta humor that is left out. I’m a huge fan of Burr, Mulaney, Pryor, Carlin, C.K, Chappelle, Tomlinson, Sloan etc... and I will happily add Gatsby to my list of favorites. I’d recommend at least giving ‘Douglas’ a shot before passing judgement. The art history jokes in particular are hysterical. Cheers.

Yep. If you have endometriosis often lesions clog up the pouch of Douglas. Just one of the many locations affected by endo.

Hannah Gadspy is the type of person that I would love to have an honest conversation. Yes I fall under the category of men that she’s not a fan of (Straight Middle Aged White Man) but I find her method of thinking to be intriguing and food for the soul. She is the type of person that you don’t encounter much…one that speaks truth like I do…difference being is she has zero fucks to give if others disagree with her. There is so much that I’d want to know as I think she can truly teach a lot if you’re able to take some shit and listen.

[@paulguerra9581]

I watched the whole show just cuz I’m open minded to hear something different and although I respect what “they” are doing, I can’t find this person to be funny. Ironic how critics in rotten tomatoes gave her an outstanding score compared to the audience score which was an all time low; where as they gave Dave Chappell a low rating with his audience score being at an all time high. Really shows how outta sync these corporations are with how we really feel.

[@paulguerra9581]

@@Nudeln667 when Dave mentioned corporations he meant what was going on in Netflix as a corporation. the politics within the organization. The people who are calling shots on which content can be showed or not aka the censorship of comedy. They are trying to have Netflix stop airing his comedy so he jokes about that saying how he’s not even allowed to enter the building. One of the employees who was at a really high position was fired for leaking information in regards to Dave as well, so those are the people who he’s talking about
