Paula Poundstone - The Bright Side of a Nuclear War

[@Theodorej1960]

I adore Paula!! Good comedy doesn't have to be rude or vulgar. Paula has always been one of the very best at her craft.

[@cdasteez]

She was charged for taking indecent liberties with a child under 13 years, pleaded down, and was barred from taking in foster children. I'd rather listen to someone who curses than someone who does *that*

[@cathryncampbell8555]

"Nuclear War will bring on Folk Music." Wondrous!

[@jimgilbert9984]

I just love it when the doctor is the one who calls me in to see her. Then she pulls up my health record on the computer, reads off all the things that are wrong with me (and I'm 64, so it's a lengthy list), then she turns to me and says, "So, how are you doing?" I also hate commercials for the latest medicines. They say such stupid things (above and beyond the side effects that are worse than the conditions for which you're supposed to take the medicines). Like "tell your doctor about all medications you are taking." Since your doctor prescribed your medications, shouldn't he already know which medicines you're taking? Unless you're seeing another doctor on the side. Then you have to have a big, emotional discussion about why you're cheating on him, the whole "it's not you, it's me" thing, etc. Then there are those commercials about a medicine to treat osteoporosis in women who are postmenopausal. The warning in the commercials: "Do not take if you are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant." What!?! Doesn't being postmenopausal mean that you can't get pregnant? Commercials for medicines nowadays are so stupid!

[@stevevasta]

To be fair, a lot of medicines are prescribed by specialists, not by your primary doctor. The information sometimes gets into your primary's chart, and sometimes it doesn't. (It also works in the other direction: the cardiologist wouldn't know I was using Trelegy if I didn't tell him.)

Paula Poundstone: “I apologize for America” All of America: “aight, imma head out”

[@1bestfriend2u18]

Funny 😄😄😄

[@hermatred572]

Hahaha

[@charlenemack7040]

Paula, when did you break out of prison? 😂😂😂

[@irodney47]

Messing around with the integrity of NATO. Bellying up to the world’s despots. Calling Vladimir a genius for his moves in Ukraine. These are just some of the things that come to mind. In my Army days this narrative would have been inconceivable.

please nuclear war please happen 🙏

[@abergman5]

Is there a punch line in here somewhere? 🤮🤮🤮

[@hhouser9783]

Paula Poundstone was on probation for YEARS for kid stuff......look it up.

[@weremyjiggins89]

She was on probation for driving under the influence with kids in the car. The "lewd acts" were dropped and never proven or pressed further in court. I wanna say I read somewhere that a disgruntled foster kid made the accusations for some sort of retaliation but I could be wrong.

[@hhouser9783]

@@weremyjiggins89 yes you are one hundred percent incorrect what happened was that child protective services showed up after the call they went through the house to look to make sure the children were okay and in the twelve-year-old diary they found explicit writings of Paula Poundstone masturbating the child she was never found not guilty that she got a sweetheart deal from a corrupt da that allowed her to never have to say to the charges and plead guilty it's truly disgusting

[@hhouser9783]

@@weremyjiggins89 she is no longer allowed to have foster children at all what does that tell you

[@weremyjiggins89]

@@hhouser9783 yet she regained custody of her 3 adopted kids? ... Nah I don't buy it.

[@hhouser9783]

@@weremyjiggins89 you can do your own research and look it up adopted kids are different than foster kids the state will not allow you to have foster kids they can't take away adopted kids why don't you learn to read a book learn about law and what actually happened read the court case and use it to the public information act

[@w.d.g.]

men wouldn't have to pay for women shopping anymore, or take women to expensive restaurants. that would all be gone. that's two good things about nuclear war.

[@Okay90194]

I stopped watching after she apologized for America. Paula from the 90’s wouldn’t have said that.

[@KieroSi]

because she'd be at an AA meeting with Woody Allen discussing their mutual taste in women?

[@hhouser9783]

She had a sweetheart deal from a corrupt DEA in Los Angeles County that allowed her to plead guilty to several acts of child endangerment while dropping the fact that the diary of the twelve-year-old girl she was fostering was found to contain explicit inserts of Paula Poundstone having lewd acts and masturbating the child she's disgusting

[@robertderby5212]

Good for you troll

[@Okay90194]

@@robertderby5212 Waa waa…what’s the matter? Did someone have a different opinion than you or are you just bored?

[@robertderby5212]

Obviously it would not have applied so starkly in the 90s. Try to keep up. And don't criticize me for comments in a public forum. Not everyone agrees with you, or is more bored than you.

[@AnOkayPerson]

This isn't funny.

[@MDRBDM]

Who dressed you the Riddler??😊😆😆😆

[@waalex11]

I like her energy, but her story and jokes aren't really good, unfortunately...

[@per619]

Used to like her. I hate people who apologize for America while travelling in foreign countries. Fine...just stay in Canada, Paula.

[@RWDtech]

Oh wow, you really showed her!!

[@cnote2458]

​​@@RWDtech she showed us. When she entered a plea bargain when facing charges of lewd acts against female children one as young as 12. But she says the right thing so people give her a pass.

[@michaelschaefer7962]

I don’t apologize for America, but I damn well apologize for Trump.

[@Loganjlr]

Wow can’t take a joke snowflake?

[@themaggattack]

Well SOMEBODY should apologize for America!

[@montysonful]

This is the most unfunny comic I know. Irritating too.
