Rita is a national treasure. Always funny, always clean.

Great work from Rita. She's always been funny without needing to be dirty. Well thought out humour.

[@mikeyllo]

I have always loved her delivery.

[@RK-ep8qy]

"You have to be so careful that first week" learned a life lesson!

[@davidschmidt6013]

Rita is SOOO original!!! The laugh, the surprising punch-lines and that slightly wide-eyed, slightly disconcerting gaze...luv it! Luv ya, Rita!!

[@jamespn]

She reminds me a cool aunt or cousin with a marvelous sense of humor. I like her comedic timing and pause for effect.

[@tessseract]

She's always so adorable.

[@kimberlywiederhold627]

All comedians should read comments for this You Tube. Seems I'm not the only person that prefers comedy with out profanity and explicit content. Thank you Rita!

[@heavnnnsent]

Trust me she is as funny as it gets and profanity is disgusting too many of us. Some comedians use it and they are funny but I prefer my comedy to be pure and unadulterated.

[@alburnett75]

Comedians are true to themselves. Some are like this and some are not. I like comedians of all kinds. Your preference of comedy Is just that YOUR PREFERENCE. It's just like everything else in this world, if you don't like it then you just move on to something you do. We are all different for a reason. You can't expect comedians who've had successful careers to read a bunch of KZbin comments and go " Omg I had no idea that's what EVERYONE preferred. Ill stop being myself now and be more like that." If you don't enjoy a comedian that says curse words like a majority of humans living on this earth then that's your right and there are a lot of clean comedians to enjoy. But it's not okay for you to belittle those that do. I remember a time when you could not like something and just move onto something you did without pushing your agenda down people's throats. I miss those days😔

[@alcoholic2412]

@@alburnett75 Yes! Thank You! You nailed it!

[@DrTHC]

Some can appreciate all forms of comedy, because we're not attached to asinine ideas that certain words or shared human experiences are 'bad'. Rita is great. So are all the other women who do this, no matter how they present their comedy. Choose love! ~THC

[@user-fb2js6wl2j]

My all-time favorite, what else to be said, She's simply the best, not to be compared, she appeals to the keener, finest, cleanest senses. And with great timing and unexpected punch lines, above all, always delivered without reaching with slime, gore, and gutter residue. I had long ogo inscribed her in my book of none-such, for in her craft, she's been set apart! Dearest Rita, that's all!

[@BT3701]

Gotta love Rita's style of humor

[@duggydugg3937]

a white car ! priceless !

[@russellstephan6844]

Elegant, poise, charm, and beyond funny... Certainly a far cry from the crass garden implement chic that's so popular with female comedians of the current era. Ms. Rudner's career is on the same trajectory as Betty White vs. the flash of aging potty-mouthed party girls.

[@charlessnider4385]

Rediscovered Rita. Love her.

She's right about the first week. I still do the cooking and dishes to this day.

Before Ellen became my favorite female stand up comedian, it was Rita. A different style than Ellen to be sure, but Rita is just as comfortable as Ellen is on stage. And damn, Rita is kicking it in that dress!

Funny but not Dirty, How DOES she do that, absolutely amazing.

[@heavnnnsent]

Simple ...she was raised a certain way and she never strayed from her good upbringing! I'm very happy there are a lot of people who appreciate that she refrains from using unwelcome profanity

[@adoreslaurel]

[@GamzeenMakara]

This woman reminds me of Morticia from the 'Addam's Family Values' movie and that busty woman from the live action 'The Grinch Who Stole Christmas'. Like, she's a perfect mixture of the two in voice, attire, and looks. LOVE HER.

Look at the demeanor of all men. They dont want to clap and their laughs are subtle. What women of comendy have to prove is astounding.

[@johnnycashm0ney307]

That doesn't mean anything. I love Rita and I love her delivery but she doesn't make me slap my knee in laughter. She's a gem to watch and listen to and she is hilarious, but I don't need to be in stitches to enjoy her. Her comedy and approach is a lot different from other female comediennes and that's why I enjoy her.

RITA RUDNER IS REFRESHING TO WATCH, NEVER USES CURSE WORDS OR SPEAKS OF SEX, THAT'S TRUE COMEDY AT ITS FINEST!!

[@MrTouchFish]

To be fair, stand up was a lot different in 1996, especially in the "clean/family" space. However, this space was also occupied by Brian Regan, Jim Gaffigan, Kevin James... On a side note, I get the feeling that Natasha Leggero may have found some delivery/presence inspiration here.

[@chrisbrown18andup]

This is legitimately funny, guys. I laughed out loud. You're totally right about Natasha!

[@AquariusRisen]

I beg to differ... it's much more difficult to be funny when you can't rely on "edgy" material that provokes uncomfortable laughs.

[@chrisbrown18andup]

+Sarahbellum 1245 They don't last in this brutal industry. Cite a comedian who's edgy yet not funny in your eyes. then we can have an interesting conversation!

[@AquariusRisen]

I actually find sexual and race related humor to be a bit gimmicky, even amongst the "greats." Especially those who rely on it for a majority of their material. Chris Rock, Patrice O Neal, Bob Saget, and those like George Lopez and Carlos Mencia get on my nerves in particular because their whole shtick is "Mexicans are like this, white people are like that..." That's not to say it can't be done - someone like Dave Chapelle, who offers a fresh perspective on a common trope, can make anything funny.

[@chrisbrown18andup]

Sarahbellum 1245 Patrice offered mind boggling perspective on race. His conversions, though, were better than his specials. Although, I'm sure they'd be more comparable had he not left us early. Race, religion, and sexuality are what defines humanity, and it has for the duration of written history. Comedians offer perspective of these heady topics that can't be achieved in other forms of intellectualization or commentary. Carlos and Lopez are garbage, but perhaps Chris Rock or Patrice would think you and I have underlying racism towards Mexicans. That's the potentially problematic way to approach it, which makes it the funniest. Humanity works out serious issues through the common folk's (bottom of society - up) comedy. Serious conversations on these topics start systematic (top - down) wars.

[@jimbomaltby4457]

Look at the microphone technique. Pretty girl, people want to see the face, hold the microphone down so they can see it. It annoys the wotsit out of me to see people who seem to think they have to have the microphone against their lips for it to work. I wonder the agents don't catch on to this.

[@davebb36]

[@tim6167]

Women comics suck imo. They just don’t have the right delivery. The only one I can think of who’s good on her delivery is Wanda Sykes. And I hate her trump hating ass but she is great how she delivers her comedy. Lady comics want to laugh at their own jokes to much.
