I’ve fallen into the hole of Deanne Smith on KZbin, if I don’t come out of this hole. then please tell my fridge I love him. Goodbye world I have found my place

[@Tiffiany]

Same here! This is video 7!!!

[@mathru96]

I am in awe of the way she includes feminist ideas humoristically and denounces the patriarchy but can still make people who are feminist haters laugh.

[@jamesnetherian4981]

uhm.... i hate feminists. and she didn't make me laugh once. i watched the entire video. not a single joke. she is just trash talking about fake news, bashing trump because it's okay because everyone does it, and so on. to be honest, louis ck talks about "life" too. he makes me laugh. she doesn't. because she is a feminist or looking like a boy? well maybe. but her jokes are just... cheap and bad.

[@jamesnetherian4981]

so every man is similar to islam?.... uhm... okay.. xD

[@CubeTube-qn1it]

James Netherian go fuck yourself

[@zeecaptain42]

That was a good analyse!

[@yootoob4516]

James Netherian -- "I hate feminists." *Translation: You're a pig and can't get laid.

[@tannermulligan9887]

DeAnne Smith is the type of lesbian that you can't even imagine a time before she was out

[@underratedcritic1983]

If Tina Fey and Ellen Degeneres had a daughter.

[@Tiffiany]

Totally

[@Katpspsps]

TRUEE YES

[@amellirizarry9503]

you nailed with that 😂 she also looks a little bit like Emma Watson 🤔

[@dawnstar6727]

New favorite quote: "If you want to look better online, just use correct grammar."

[@BadWebDiver]

So true!!!!!

[@daniferris980]

Correct grammar is now considered racist...

[@marykate7560]

"is money done now?" LOVE

[@fitnfab6522]

Love how she combined reality and comedy, sharing truths through laughter.

[@captainteeko4579]

Fit n Fab isn’t that the point? I thought all of them were comedians??

[@fitnfab6522]

She needs her own show like Ellen!

[@sammiesparkle2020]

the you being a Canadian fake news is so real because i searched "canadian female comedian" on youtube and your video popped up😂

[@safir2241]

I love this human

[@jaydenv8557]

DO NOT DISS FAIRY BREAD. Lol kidding I love you, more than fairy bread, which is an achievement

[@artemisiavladu509]

I really want to hug this lady. She makes me laugh SO MUCH!!

[@zeecaptain42]

I quote @an alias "I am in awe of the way she includes feminist ideas humoristically and denounces the patriarchy but can still make people who are feminist haters laugh." She is amazing!!

[@Shelly_army410]

She gives a feel of Ellen

[@DethCoveredHoneyBuns]

Shelly arpana aind I literally just said that to my roommate

[@boulshyte8932]

far from it

[@Mageneated]

Shelly arpana aind strong lesbian energies

[@Shelly_army410]

Mageneated ... yes but not only that... I m looking at overall perspective

[@underratedcritic1983]

More like Tegan & Sara.

[@jennclair9866]

lol just watched the video where they said yes was Canadian, I was proud

[@Zenithx3]

Brilliant!

[@Katpspsps]

Oh my god i love this so much

[@Meowzipan]

I love them so much omfg

[@gracemoseley6710]

Okay, but Harry's new album is actually awesome. I was as shocked as everyone else.

[@katewright3587]

I know, and he actually had a name he wanted to use for his album too, but it has been used!!

[@vaalaskala5143]

I haven't heard any of his songs though I have heard him in that boy band..just found DeAnne and she is mostly funny...but this somewhat closed mindedness and ignorance of saying that about Harry Styles so early in a video made me quickly stop the video to cringe for a minute...pop music is not my thing, but everyone has their own experience and we don't have to like every kind of music and we can't all be Price right? it definitely is not a new joke to make those kind of comparisons and why dwell on the inevitable course of life that is death. It is hard for everyone to put themselves out there and I hope he shuts out this noise and goes far with his career.

[@miriamspringett3797]

Yes, a bunch of former boy band type singers are actually releasing some decent music. It's confusing :P

[@bstyles-hx3qs]

Grace Moseley 😂 I felt that if I said something about liking Harry, then I'd sound like a little brat. So thank you! 😂❤️

[@ashasmr4667]

Grace Moseley harry is a gay icon

[@ChibiRandom13]

Every one in the comments defending Harry Styles - you missed the point friends

[@BlueGlow26]

This is great! Smart, funny, and so relevant

[@trekpac2]

Extremely good!,

[@jesschadburn4604]

Ok the dig at fairy bread was hilarious

[@RobinChoux]

I'm laughing so much hahahahaha you are amazing

[@sachikawaii]

I fucking love her

[@callmeyourdai5y518]

I mean I've never heard Harry Style's music but David Bowie did also have an album called David Bowie, and I believe it was his first album.

[@balletfan4154]

“Hi I’m Hannah Gatsby from father away” lmao

[@yulieskourikhinfainstein2847]

Huge lol, this behavior of being too polite.. It is sooo Canadian & I simply love this person!

[@GingerGingie]

What's with the woman on the panel? She seems so grumpy! Did I miss something, why the shade? I thought the performer was really funny!

[@dewaldt8104]

Australia the one country where all the food is prison food.

[@navi6981]

Dewaldt Most of America's food came from shitty instant army food and the standard just kinda stayed that way; processed and cheap... which usually results in unhealthy.

[@azelmamortlake4471]

Resting Bitch Face I think you might've missed the point.

[@mrlnxf8455]

Actually if any modern artist at the moment doesn't care about gender roles, it's Harry Styles. Have you ever seen his outfits or his interviews?

[@roushankumar-lu2ov]

This one is great....

[@andrewjohnson6716]

Holy S***! How does she does that!? That is ten minutes of non-stop brilliant zingers! She is so creative and intelligent!

[@octopusempress5520]

I love her so much!

[@ashleyladner7620]

Love this woman!

[@leonacecil1586]

I wish she was my mom

[@BadWebDiver]

I wish she was my kid sister!

[@cameronrobinson2605]

The black woman did not laugh ONCE lol and my little boy did so great on stage lol

[@michelerich1590]

looks like tina fey and hannah hart

[@maryrosekent8223]

Jennifer Turner O.M.G.! You’re absolutely right.

[@hannahmae9251]

See? Tina Fey would be the cutest lesbian. Told you.

[@lexvt3551]

Hannah Mae LMAO, I was thinking she looked like her!

[@norahgilbert1679]

I feel like this is Ellen’s cousin and I’m seriously digging it

[@Ben0bs]

i caught that "one more lie, im a real boy"line... pinnochio? xDD

[@PhillyFrank1]

Beats heck out of TED Talks.

[@bayleyasher]

she's right about bowie, prince, and styles, but bowie's debut album was titled David Bowie, and Prince's 2nd album was Prince. :/

[@novagray4143]

Deanne Smith is the anime boy of my dreams

[@lucienguyen4055]

"Use correct grammar" PRO TIP

[@EmileeTv1993]

I will never get over her eyelashes.

[@Cowgutz]

LMFAO I LOVE HER

[@iamanomas]

First time I’ve seen her. She is very, very good.

[@paxtonanthonymurphy3733]

Fairy bread is homemade Poptarts!

[@rhodanosaurus]

How dare you attack fairy bread!! XD Also, didn't know it's not a thing in America.

[@Angelia359]

Rhod never heard of it till now lol

[@ravenlunatic0708]

I mean... We didn't know what it was, but I used to put sprinkles aaaaall over pb&js and dunk them in chocolate milk. Not sure why my mom let me do that

[@amonbeck]

Rhod It's a thing. I've eaten it. But I'm from the South, so maybe there is a correlation between us two debters' prisions, lol

[@bergfish7328]

One should need a permit to be that cute! 📃💘

[@joeybean_jojo2054]

I’m hooked on these videos. This is video 18. It’s midnight. I need help. These are so good though.

[@MarcieMoo97]

lol the chick sitting at the table seemed so unamused 😂

[@emmae2520]

I looked up what fairy bread was for this, and I have one question for you Australians: why? It's sandwhich bread disguised as cookies. That is pitiful

[@l.c.7230]

Emma TriesToSmile it's just for birthday parties along with lots of other finger foods. We don't use it instead of a cake haha.

[@Sara-jo1wm]

I feel so offended, fairy bread is the definition life, taste amazing and easy to make

[@KainyStyle]

Haha, I looked it up as well, was highly confused :)

[@gemstones2942]

Maybe, but it's incredible and legendary and fucking delicious. I mean... It's bread.. Butter.. And sprinkles. It don't sound like it'll work, but then it does. It's fücking genius.

[@spartanseventyeight8673]

The thing that irritated me about her cracking jokes at the expense of our mothers at the use of 'fairy bread', was that she thinks it's a replacement for cake. It's a snack at kids birthday parties basically consisting of bread, butter and sugar, all the shit kids like. Cake is still paramount, stick your candles in, light 'em, sing the birthday song off key, your typical birthday affair.

[@hannahmycock9871]

While she was talking about Facebook I hot a notification saying I had a memory. It was a baby pic of me with a bra on my head😂😂😂😂

[@upendasana7857]

She's great.

[@Kei-zx7nf]

She is brilliant

[@lanimaguire4145]

I don't know about you but I fucking love fairy bread.

[@skylarsuperkoolgrey225]

I literally googled fairy bread.. it’s just bread smothered in sprinkles... the fuck

[@miriam9419]

And with butter!

[@amybeton6118]

glad you mentioned 2 genders being fake #nonbinary #transisbeautiful

[@str84worddiziness]

I don't fake much

[@shady_arty_lady8262]

Fairy bread is delicious!!

[@MK-wc7sy]

Harry styles Just want to put that out there..

[@MK-wc7sy]

Eric Andrusca true true

[@captainteeko4579]

I want a show with just Deanne and Rhys :3

[@leodegas7731]

All comedians are observers and deep thinkers. Some are just really good at it. And i believe she is up there. Never seen her b4, but really like how much of her argument was real. ( Oops, I didn't spell out b4)🤣 Going to save this so KZbin puts more of her on my viewing algorithm. ✌🏼🦁

[@beriking]

the small hands joke was pretty decent

[@Son0fHobs]

I particularly like her humor when it's addressing an important topic - sexuality, fake news, etc.

[@staryeyedsunflower6437]

Nooooo i love fairy bread, heck I'm 31 and still make it for my birthday 🤣 (It's it own thing though, we still have cake lol)

[@Bassooooon1]

What did Sandy say in response? I didn't catch it.

[@harryrocks44]

about bra burning: it has happened actually, i've seen footage, it looked kinda cool

[@nerdmythicalfighter_2130]

Ugh. Please just look further into that. I don't feel like explaining. Ariel Levy.

[@reuben2214]

Hannah Gatsby from farther away oml

[@magnetbane2671]

I thought she said fig newtons...

[@Sara-jo1wm]

Don't u hate on my Hazza

[@ColoRADbro420]

this dude is funnY!

[@Sara-jo1wm]

Don't u hate on straya that's mah home

[@alexandraa3168]

SANDRAAAAA 😭😭😭😂😂😂

[@boopboop9009]

she reminds me so much of ellen

[@purpleshadow11]

FAIRY BREAD IS GREAT WTF

[@jhenie8735]

harry styles. yes

[@johnfallon9521]

Wait you’re supposed to use social media to make it seem better? Fuck man...

[@gvymamdvcnj131309]

Why ya gotta shame Harry Styles for being alive though?

[@CG00_]

Step back from our fairy bread!

[@liligraa]

I think she needs to listen to his album

[@lylivictor]

I love her but the comment about Harry Styles is like unoriginal and exactly what someone that hasn't heard his songs would say just because he was in a boy band . Anyways just wanted to sau that

[@iliveinabog3254]

Lyli Victor you just have fucking loved one direction lol

[@lylivictor]

jYEEsus I don't see your point, just because I liked 1D you think what? What I said is that just because he was in a boy band people think less of him and that's sucks. Comparing him to prince is so unfair, actually comparing them to anyone is unfair. Anyways, she doesn't know anything about Harry styles and "complains" about him not moving Beyond gender, like, his managers would never let he do that, he wanted to vestir wear lipstick and they didn't allow him. Besides he is still young god knows what he will do in the future. I love and miss both Prince and Bowie and they amazing people who like she said went beyond gender. But i mean if you just think I said all that because I liked a boy band that doesn't even exist anymore (unfortunately) i can't change people

[@wideawake3080]

Lyli Victor I mean I agree, his album is good and that comment wasn't good but the rest is fine

[@lylivictor]

Wide Awake yeah I just wanted to point out the comment like I said I liked the rest

[@gsmathi]

Lyli Victor I

[@EmmaGemma]

WHAT U HAVE AGANIST HARRY STYLES WTF

[@spartanseventyeight8673]

"Really guys, only 2 women?" Yeah. It's almost as if there are more successful male comics out there than females. Guess they couldn't afford Chrissie Swan, Kitty Flanagan, or an actually funny Stand-up comic lesbian, like Urzila Carlson.

[@Bellesabout]

I less than three her...

[@beverlymurray2882]

Tries too hard but very likeable

[@humblehat4347]

Is this supposed to be funny? Like I came into this with an open mind. but the crowd laughing at the unfunniest jokes ever is just so off putting.

[@Shucksofficial]

There's black people in Australia?

[@FirstnameLastname-gr5kb]

Technically, the native Australians (Aborigines) are black. I guess that woman is African Australian though.

[@SimoraCheeks1]

Shucks Like the US, Australia has citizens from all over the world.

[@DanBrown96]

Yes idiot, the original "Australians" are all black.

[@crimson18kali]

Um ...is this a serious question ?

[@coolaid4132]

Most australians are white bur eventually it will be a Indian and Muslim society. #VoteForPaulien

[@drunkballerina89]

I stopped watching once she started giving shit to Harry Styles, i'm not an obsessed teen fan but that was just unfair. I've been a huge fan of Bowie my whole life and Styles has made great music as of recently not to mention, he has a reputation of not being an asshole. Honestly, if you are going to make your point about unfortunate artists who are still around these days, there is a slew of shitty rappers and bad singers now a days to pick from. I know she is a great comedian but that was a shit start.

[@Joanne14782]

Not funny.
