I have no idea why KZbin suggested this to me. I’m like the opposite of her target demographic. But funny is funny and this is damn funny.

[@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372]

same

[@Kyarrix]

She used the term hussy? I don't know why this was recommended to me either.

[@CharMinsky]

Welcome open minds.

[@Kyarrix]

@Pro Justice anyone who chooses a name of pro Justice probably isn't.

[@sestrom]

@Pro Justice no no,TARGET demographic. So like her content isn’t tailored to specifically appeal to people like me. It IS suitable for everyone, including me, but her target audience is people like her. And @Kekkai why? Why you gotta be like that? Stop being dumb on KZbin or at least don’t be dumb on my comments.

[@traceyhuefner2574]

I watched this during my first chemo. We had the door shut to my room. They heard me and hubbi laughing at the nurses station came in and we were crying howling laughing. I will always remember this as a great beginning to my road to remission

[@VocalSpiritPresents]

Laughter is the best medicine. My Mom and I laughed so loudly during one of her chemotherapy sessions when we did Face swap for the first time. Every test has come back cancer free since April! You got this!! 💜

Best part of the story!

[@Sistergirl787]

"He's not gone. He's thinking." 😆😂😂

[@True-trini]

Yeah, I've got a teenage son. They are sneaky devils all right. I could tell a bunch of stories but he's asked me not to. Maybe when he's older and it don't matter anymore.

[@reneestevens2526]

My son begged me not to tell my stories about him either. UNTIL his current fiancé came along. I told him all is fair in love and war. She’s heard so many stories. They’re not meant to embarrass him though. She loves hearing what he was like growing up!!

[@disneydip]

Raising teenagers is like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree.

[@NyanyiC]

Boys are just wired differently!

[@thatyoutubechannel9953]

It feels like listening to a grand aunt talking about one of your older cousins at a family gathering, it's so endearing and funny.

[@anndrago131]

This was hilarious and I only watched because of the title. I was born a "Hussey"- it's my maiden name and as I got older and learned the meaning I used to make a joke about it when I would meet people before they made fun of me - it worked!. I have no complaints because I had to learn at an early age not to take myself too seriously which is an important lesson.

[@marys3127]

My friend’s name is Jack Goff. No joke....

[@djwb1973]

It certainly is! I’ve met so many men that take themselves too seriously. It’s boring and exhausting to be around!

[@chekovcall2286]

Lol. I didn't know my last name was the same way until I watched detective shows. And yes, I'm a girl.

[@richstanton8545]

One of the physicians here in St Louis is Dr Richard Head. I've never met the gentleman, but several nurses I know say he just gets his name out of the way right at first. And Johnny Cash's hero thought being a "Boy Named Sue" was a tough slog! 😱😉🤣🙃🤣😂😁

[@AdirondackRuby]

LOL! My Grandma Kay (my maternal cousins grandma) was a Hussey too. She was far from it, so it was a great giggle.

[@andrewvelonis5940]

Her husband's name is "Left Brain"? Well, Phyllice Diller called her husband "Fang", so why not

[@vivianhamilton616]

Lol...I remember her, one of my favorite female comedian. Lucille Ball will always be #1 though.

[@elwoodblues9613]

Well, being literal, the left brain is the logical & analytical side, so Mr. Robertson is probably logical & analytical. The problem is when seeing logical & analytical as being bad.

[@ivaninnokenti614]

@Chuck ill just call you glue sniffer

[@lancebaker1374]

First time I've heard "dinner" pronounced "dunner", and I have lived in NC a few years. It did take me a while to realize a "PEE-can" is a tree nut, not something you need on a long bus trip.

[@animeskrillex7537]

This is a personal attack

[@zeusson6678]

Bet you were mighty confused when it came to dinner, supper, and lunch.

[@studiohq]

Never been to Roboson/Lumberton huh?

[@billycampbell854]

Yes, a true southerner eats breakfast, Dinner and supper.👍

[@Myrdden71]

Funny, most southerners I know here in North Florida say "Peh-KAHN", while some northern transplants I know down here say "Pee-can." I've lived here my whole live, raised by a country mom and a city dad, and always heard it the first way, not pee-can. My dad's side of the family is Greek from New Orleans, and they also say it "Peh-KAHN". Mom's side is from out in the country, and they also say it that way. Sounds like where you are in NC is the opposite. I guess it's not a northern/southern thing, just a thing. :)

[@ShellyKingston]

I found this by accident last night and I am having a ball of a time. I can’t stop laughing. My belly muscles are on fire because of so much laughter.

[@barbarawright5774]

Oh sweet.

Warning. Do not, eat or drink during her speech. It is a choking hazard when you bust out laughing!

When she posted to KZbin, they got so happy they starting crying and couldn't see through the tears that they accidentally clicked the dislike button and then passed out from laughter because Jeanne is the funniest person ever.

barrett864, it's just a sad reminder that we share the planet with those who cannot be pleased even by the most appealing mixture of class, charm, intelligence and humor.

[@thatgirlthatsme]

2 years later there are 210. Seeing this comment reminds me of something I read the other day about why some people choose thumbs down. They said that by clicking thumbs down they can keep up with what video they have watched or have not watched. They hit thumbs down if they don't have time to watch it. The next time they run across that video the thumbs down tells them they haven't watched it yet. (I, myself just click on save. lol )

Wow, imagine that, clean humor. But I fell off the roof into the hedges when I did that 45 years ago. My parents took one look at me, all tore to hell from that stinking holly bush, looked at each other and chuckled and said he punished himself. Then my momma told me to go clean up and stop bleeding on the carpet. As an after thought she told me to use an old sheet in bed, the blood would be hard to get out of a good one.

[@boohcrew8311]

What I’ve never understood as well she doesn’t call herself a comedian/-enne, which she definitely is and she’s earned that title. Why does she call herself a speaker? She’s hilarious and should fully embrace being an amazing legendary iconic standup comic.

[@sdacj]

Jeanne actually gives speeches on how to maintain one's sense of humor, how to cope with stressful situations in life, etc. She considers herself more of a motivational speaker and humorist since she doesn't do just stand up comedy. She sure could make a living at it though, if she did! :D

Love your stories & the special "left brain" ones are my favorite. I was married once & I think it was to a left brain & I'm a right brain!

[@elwoodblues9613]

The trick is to see where your Left Brain has strengths that you are a little weak in, and then work together as a team using both of your strengths to get through life and make the marriage work. Instead of insisting that Left Brains are clueless and need to become Right Brained, and punishing Left Brain for being who God made him to be. (Can you tell that I'm a Left Brain [currently] married to a Right Brain?)

My first "Jeanne Robertson" tapes in the earlier 80s was just a riot! About being tall.... some of you tall young women would now have an arsenal of 'come backs' like Jeanne! She told the story about when she was on a flight (she was already seated) where a man sat down by her. She goes on to tell how much she enjoyed his company. As the jet parked to let people deplane, the guy stood up waiting for his turn to single file out, he turned to see that Jeanne was now standing.... to his dismay of sorts he looked her up and down as he said "wow, you are really tall" to which Jeanne answered "I wasn't like this when I sat down"! I can recall a few other stories she told us but I want you all to enjoy your searching so you can laugh, giggle and say "I can relate to that".
