Props to Taylor--you never know how the mental health jokes are going to carry, but when they hit, they hit! I deeply related to the topic, and it was good to really laugh about it.

[@kitty667]

Same. Stopped breathing from laughter for a few seconds

[@alaskawashington]

yeah you should watch her special then if you haven’t already! he has a lot of really dark humor but personally I really like how she goes about it and her delivery is great. :)

[@Dobermann.Kennel]

You do need more protein, everyone does for the most part! 100 grams a day at a minimum!

[@FinnGamble]

She goes even way darker in her Netflix special, and its freaking hilarious. Totally worth watching!

[@beabeauty]

Yes when I found her Netflix special I felt like I could truly laugh about my diagnosis- first time in a long time😀. Thank you Taylor and her therapist that help her stay strong- I hope she finds all the support and best “arm floaties” available!!

[@anewberr]

Taylor was just beginning her rise in fame when the pandemic started. Glad to see she’s still going. She’s the best.

[@butterhead236]

I saw an interview with her and they talked about that. her first Netflix special came out I think it was like a week before lockdown and she had talked about things with her manager or publicist, I can't remember which, and she voiced concerns about this being a horrible time for her special to have come out. and whoever she was talking to about it said it was actually probably the best time for the special to have come out because people are going to be at home and they're gonna need things to watch. but I guess it still could have gone either way.

[@aliens1990990]

and that chocolate covered raisin joke is my favourite i know one like that

[@TrevorAllen]

if anyone hasn't seen her Netflix stand up, its phenomenal!

[@LuisFerrazMusic]

came here to say the same, she kills in it!

[@slayme]

Yes it is! I’ve seen it multiple times

[@darkzordongaming3562]

She has two of them and they’re both absolutely amazing!

[@enzomthethwa5861]

I love watching comedians who are so casual that it feels like they're just having a conversation with you. Not anxiously going through rehearsed lines.

[@paulinelambert7780]

stfu. she's in jimmy fallon show and only given a few minutes to do this. hence she needs to rush through her jokes

[@revmpandora]

These are rehearsed lines tho

[@lyricessence]

She's the best. Seriously.

[@markk3652]

I agree, she is so relaxed with her set, and so much fun to look at. I also liked Kathleen Madigan when she was in the spotlight, very good storyteller/comedian.

[@fjcxclarke5736]

@@revmpandora and her skill is making it seem like it isn't

[@dmenace9483]

Started out as a "Christian" comic doing her act in church's. Apparently, she went over the line and they dropped her. She's a funny comic, and her special is worth the watch.

[@spectrumtraveler30]

she came to the church I was apart of in 2014 back in Tempe, AZ! she was hilarious then, and even more hilarious now!

[@JamesBlond000]

I believe the joke that got her kicked out of the church circuit was, "I'll have you know, in bed I am a wild animal... yeah, WAY more afraid of you than you are of me." And that's the joke that made me go, "Does she have a special? She might be my new favorite."

[@elles2261]

@@JamesBlond000 yep. Heard that twice, it’s that one and I think she tweeted it and they saw it and the dropped her forever.

[@nternetrat]

@@JamesBlond000 HA

[@idontwantahandlethough]

Weirdly, that's also how a lot of alternative/metal bands get their start too! As one might expect, you don't need a lot of talent to get on the "Christian circuit" whether it be music or comedy (since the draw is not from the music or comedy, it's from something totally unrelated to one's talent: their godliness...whatever that means). Lucky for Taylor, she _is_ actually super talented! so I'd say getting booted is the best thing that could have ever happened to her :)

[@erinstone9999]

The fact that she incorporated the peanut butter callback in a five minute performance is incredible.

[@potato-nf9qo]

"you could be with peanut butter, who i heard, cures depression..." I'm dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀

[@LexTan]

I remember hearing that callback watching “Look at You”, and it made me give her a standing ovation in my living room.

[@mostguitarswins]

"I got pregnant with myself in high school" LOL. Taylor is funny without the crassness and mean edge that some comedians have.

[@tyrellanderson4722]

Awww... toughen up, chief.

[@phenom5817]

Taylor can talk some shit.. she’s a reformed bible thumper

[@trafalgarlaw6288]

You know i didn't get the joke. Would you please explain it to me ?

[@carlotta4th]

@Trafalgar it's in the context of parenting yourself. So every parent's worse nightmare is their kid getting pregnant too early--Taylor is basically saying she's a worst case scenario.

[@trafalgarlaw6288]

@@carlotta4th ok now i get it, thanks

[@tystormm]

Taylor is the future of comedy, so happy she’s starting to get the momentum she deserves

[@debdee9663]

Found Taylor from Sam Morrill he's hilarious too

She's very good. Smooth and with *perfect* timing.

[@nerdyandstuff]

She’s one of the funniest comedians in my opinion, I laugh a lot at her jokes, and she’s really underrated.

Only one of those Taylors truly did it on her own though without the aid of ghost writers and producers, and without selling her soul to S@t@n.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Corey Taylor?

[@kevincab1]

Taylor is one of my favorite comedians. She's hysterical and great deliveries!

[@shaniecesingleton3704]

She’s so underrated. And is making mental health game recognized.

[@jenniferholmes9718]

Always love her comedy. The crowd loved it, made me so happy for her. Glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves.

[@MrBentatro]

She is getting so good at this, that you watch other times she said the same general idea, but you'd like to see her process. On her way, potentially, to total greatness. Although it should be said that that last special was great.

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

The werewolf and the antidepressants bit got me. Then the self-parenting bit just finished me. I feel Identified!

[@ladymarycrawley6613]

I am so glad i found her. When some thought stand-up was a men's foray predominantly and here's the Queen slaying it and making way for all these lovely teen and YA folks ❤️

[@jayfromaz]

I see a lot of comedians on KZbin. She is absolutely outstanding. I'm now a huge fan of her work.

[@rikkiechambers4959]

Wow.... window straight to the heart of humanity. Clever observations on the realities of life. I laughed my ass off.

[@marcusw6767]

Could not be more proud of her for becoming the new late late host! ❤

[@msam9380]

One of my favorite comedians.

[@luciflash]

The bit about being pregnant with herself is very good. Something I haven't heard before.

[@helrisonn]

i didn't get it

[@pseudonym517]

@@helrisonn The stereotype is that the person who gets pregnant in high school isn't ready to be a parent. As such, she says that she was forced to parent herself too early in life, and is desperately trying to hold it together. "JUST. STOP. CRYING. please? Just.... oh no, now I'm crying too" and so on and so forth.

[@Alphacentauri819]

She started that bit saying she's learning "reparent" herself. It's a therapy technique, to help learn to undo some of the negative aspects of childhood etc. That's why she said "pregnant with herself"...as if she's reparenting from that start!

[@ambera5448]

She is hilarious and so relatable.

[@reddottacticalfl]

She’s awesome ! So young and so good. She has a bright future in comedy

[@YeeSoest]

As someone who started out as the raisin and then became the chocolate...strictly in terms of looks...she's so right about that dynamic! People have come up to me like they came up to her, questioning the fit...insane quotes galore ^^

[@jameshughes3556]

Just want to say - great job Taylor. Have been trying to put my finger on why I enjoy your comedy (that sounded weird). I think that your jokes as a whole are gender agnostic…as in, guys can relate, girls can relate. Your long sets have a really great flow where you capture the audiences attention for the entirety. There is no awkward “neediness”. Potentially, you are going to transcend funny and become one of the worlds greats. Look forward to watching your journey. Good luck. You’ve got this 👊👊

[@stevievaughan5096]

@@jamesdakrn I’m commenting on this dude’s comment. It’s how threads work. Imma big fan, just pointing out how he’s saying she’s underrated. Now it doesn’t work because I have to explain myself. It’s a rift on Chris D’elia. Sodeeper
