"Is this some kind of joke? Was this really supposed to be funny? I did NOT laugh once.. not even close. this might be the least funniest woman in the history of stand up. And that says alot cause women are NOT funny at all in the stand up world.."

"+claude8****** I know, right? All those stupid people in the audience laughing their asses off, and they don't even realize it's not funny! AT ALL! How stupid can people be to laugh so much and so hard at something not funny? There must be some kind of joke going on that they don't get - and we are all laughing at them because they are laughing at nothing, and that is the joke! It's funny because they don't know it! Hahah!
Oh wait, were you being funny with your comment?
If so, it wasn't funny. And I think that's HILARIOUS."

I vividly remember watching this when it first aired. Her name wasn't even in the opening credits that week, to avoid spoiling the joke. I was so caught off guard that at first I thought someone was really blowing a set on national TV. When I realized what she was doing, I was in awe. The fearlessness you must need to have that be your introduction to a brand new audience is beyond my comprehension.
It's impossible to have a favorite cast member from MadTV, they were able to bring in some great talent over the years. Crista nails comedic awkwardness with perfection, it's a shame we don't see more of her.
Def

she is too underrated
False. Will Sasso lol
That was one of the most fearless things I’ve ever seen. That took balls. It’s just a character, but I still think it would take real courage to be so awkward in front of an audience.
I've been a fan of MadTv for over 20 years and I've never seen this bit. This show needs to be streaming somewhere or released on dvd/bluray. This is one of the best skits I've ever seen.
It's disappointing they never released the whole thing 😕 Amazon video and HBO has a bunch but not all
The fact that she pulled off a stand up bit without delivering any jokes in a traditional sense is so amazing to me. After all these years this still sticks with me.
Ditto. Brilliant bit, sad but funny. It takes a lot of guts to take a bit like that out to the Mad TV audience.
I mean come on mom I have to try em on first.... I'm only foolin I love my mom.
She's like the Samantha bee of standup
"Come on mom, I gotta try em on!" *silly face*
OMG I laughed so hard hahahahahahahahahaaha
You guys won't believe me, but I actually met Crista in 2006 at a school site that I worked at the time. I couldn't believe it was her when she walked in one night and when I was introduced to her she was shocked that I was the only person that recognized her.When MAD TV was off for the summer, she actually worked as a substitute teacher for ESL! She was so nice that she invited me to the Groundlings to see the cast of MAD TV do their act during the summer. She was such a sweetheart.
@Random Preston
Don't believe everything that you hear some people make up some shit so they can be popular or they can look cool this person never met this famous person
@@noaccount7595 lol
I've seen this "awkward" sort of humor and many people can't pull it off, it just falls flat. Crista played it perfectly.
only she could make domestic abuse funny
Desean domestic abuse is NEVER funny!!!! Except when it's funny........ Then domestic abuse is always funny!!!! Well................ Just make a God damn funny joke then it'll be funny
Really? Only her?
I would pay money to watch a whole hour of this. It's absolutely brilliant. Just every single thing about it is comedic genius. Even the slightest inflections and mannerisms that you would miss with the blink of an eye are perfection
This woman deserves an award for this.
Crista is a mountain of talent
This is similar to Kaufmann, but he had a different goal in mind. He *meant* to alienate his audience by being unfunny. Discomfort was the staple of his act. His anti-comedy brought attention to the effort, or non-effort, of making people laugh.
Flanagan, on the other hand, is doing the opposite: she actually wins the audience's sympathy with her ineptness. It's initially uncomfortable, but we pull for her to make us laugh. And by the end, when she's in tears, we feel for her. Empathy is key.
Who's Kaufmann?
@@aveuch Andy Kaufman... look him up.
Yeah, that's why he's not funny. It's on purpose.
Ya your dead on bro! You articulated it beautifully….incredible accuracy!
@@aveuch are u serious kid?….🤦🏻♂️
She's so gosh darn cute.
One of the most memorable and funniest TV characters ever for me
I remember watching this as a kid and absolutely losing it. I loved this show
the 3 minute meal was the funniest skit Ive ever seen , I still can laugh at it without even watching it because Ive seen them so many times. - and I know I will watch them again.
Stop that ticking!
@@PeterS123101 lol shes so convincing when she does it
"𝔸𝕣𝕖 𝕨𝕖 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕟 𝕝𝕠𝕠𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕚𝕔𝕖?"
This is actually brilliant. Stand-up is tough as it is, and she does this sarcastically and it's hilarious. Better than most actual comedians I've seen recently.
She is brilliant!!
She needs her own show. Shes a genius
So deliciously Awkward... Amazing...
that little move she makes when she says "come on mom, i gotta try it on" just cracks me up all the time in each of her skits. that and the crying when she brings up her shitty relationship.
"Will you talk to me?" LOL!!!!!
Favorite youtube video. Something about awkward humour that gets me everytime.
I absolutely love it when she blanks at 2:21, then goes, "...Oh!"
Crista and the whole cast of MAD TV were/are great comedic actors. I wish we could see more of them. BTW this is very funny. But it takes a certain level of intelligence and/or self-awareness to find it so.
+tubedweeb enough intelligence to realize this wasnt an actual attempt at standup comedy at least (hint to other commenters)
tubedweeb r/iamverysmart
For several years MADtv was kicking SNL's ass, but because Fox didn't
own MADtv they didn't care about its future and barely advertised it.
Eventually, the main cast left so the final episodes were terrible. The
company that owns MADtv won't even bother to release most seasons so
instead they just threw some of the best episodes in a vault somewhere
to rot.
MADtv's actors were notoriously underpaid considering how talented they
were. Also, because they were willing to be politically incorrect the
actors were treated like outcasts in showbiz and effectively
blacklisted. Despite creating great characters that still get quoted to
this day, it was difficult for many to find work.
Comedic geniuses like Will Sasso and Bobby Lee never landed big deals in
mainstream shows/sitcoms and only just recently have found limited
success because of podcasts. Legends deserving of respect like Frank
Caliendo, Ike Barinholtz, Aries Spears, Pat Kilbane, Nicole Sullivan,
Debra Wilson, Crista Flanagan, Mo Collins, Stephanie Weir, and Michael
McDonald seemingly evaporated only to occasionally show up in random
projects as minor characters or in standup. Others did voice work like
Phil Lamarr and Alex Borstein, but Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele
were the only ones to really make it big. I believe it's because they
took their sketch comedy experience to create a spiritual successor to
MADtv in the form of their show Key & Peele.
SNL will sometimes have a standout comedian(Will Ferrell, Kristen
Wiig,Andy Samberg), but it relies too much on the prestige of guests who
bring viewership because of name recognition, and sometimes these
guests are funnier than the main cast(Louis CK). It still rides on the
nostalgia of the Chris Farley/Adam Sandler golden years and gets too
involved in politics. Its political skits simply aren't funny and often
come off as material that was forced in by left wing elitists. However,
since it has so many connections in showbiz it will never fail no matter
how many people agree that it's terrible.
A lot of SNL alumni get chances in projects they don't even deserve(The
all-female Ghostbusters disaster). Even when talking about shows like 30
Rock and Parks And Recreation that deserve success, it's not exactly an
accident that their main roles were populated with SNL alumni like Tina
Fey, Alec Baldwin, and Amy Poehler. They get the main spotlight while
outcasts like Mo Collins just get a few appearances as a side character
in Parks And Recreation, but that sort of tribal favoritism is the cruel
politics of the business.
Fun Fact: Crista Flanagan did nudes for Playboy, and Mo Collins has
leaked nudes online. Check em out if you want. :)
Why does everyone say "left wing elitist" when Republicans are the money grabbing bitches that whore the country out to businesses? For real..Trump? So called "billionaire" and many Dems get payed scale for trying to get poor ppl more of a life. I say Republicans are "Elitists" and they are the ones at the country club (Mara Lago for one). Of course this isn't a stead-fast rule but still...Reps are the Money Bags.
Wow. I did NOT see that fun fact coming. Very unexpected. Also...very creepy.
Wats goin on with those lunch meat sandwiches?.... *GuuRoss* 🤣🤣🤣
You are precisely right, actually. See the Wikipedia article titled "Anti Humor".
Yes, it's an actual thing. Flanagan is exercising a particularly poignant type of anti-comedy, brilliantly I might add.
"My boyfriend and I just recently broke up."
"Ohhhh"
"Yeah. Yeah but that's okay cause he hit me!"
She is portraying SNL
She is a brilliant woman, and very beautiful
There is some real talent on display here. Christa Flanagan is a great actress and supremely talented.
She has an amazing voice and an extremely expressive face.
Johann Bach, and a nice ass too, amirite? 😁
Wow, can't you see she's playing a character that's desperately trying to be funny, but fails? That's what makes it funny and Crista is doing an excellent job of portraying a weak, unconfident young woman.
We know punk coomer
she did playboy
Some people don't realize this whole THING IS A SKIT. All the way to Tammy. Lol Jeez guys. Lol
“Yuk, I thought I smelled you here” 😂
She's adorably awkward!
Genius !
lmao and yet the real her posed for playboy and is on tv lol these skits are full of win, she nailed it
thats very true. think about how hard this character must have been for her at first. she's a famous confident attractive comedian playing a shy self-conscience unfunny wannabe comedian. its a real mind fuck to get into character i bet but she nails it
i am just now realizing that i think i may have been talkin to myself this whole time. i responded to a comment i originally posted... yep im officially done with weed lmao aaaaand i suck! haha
jake thagreat, rofl😁

So funny...this girls a genius
How the hell are you so unfunny you are hilarious 🤣😆😅😆
Her Heidi Klum inpersonations are hilarious
Now that's great acting !
"Gross! I thought I smelled you here."
Excellent writing as well.
As some of you may be aware of, but I'll say it for the idiots, she is a top notch Dead Pan Delivery performer.
Crista is like Kylie ♥
Crista I miss you in this fashion. Always will !
@4:47 Listen to the guy laughing at her misery. Hilarious !
Brilliant!!
Artist.
LoL ... she's hillarious.
COME ON MOM, I GOTTA TRY EM ON... *constipated face*
Every word that Crista says seems geniusly delivered in a perfect manner to have resonance with my funny bone. Every way that the words flow just naturally triggers laughter. God tier comedic talent.
Awesome actress
So adorable
THIS IS ACTING 101. PHENOMENAL.
"come on mom, I gotta try 'em on!"
This is the alternative ending to Joker isn't it?
"Gross I thought I smelled you here." I lost it there.
I remembered this skit watching it live I laughed my ass off
One of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV
SHE'S A BABE
3:33 Tami is Tami Sagher, a staff writer on Mad TV
she is absolutely brilliant. idk how she pulled that off keeping that expression. wow...brilliant just brilliant!
Crista Flanagan is fit
No tits, no ass, no hips. Not fit.
I find her to be very attractive..
Her crying at the end was funny but made me tear up a little. xD
This character was so ahead of its time.
When she said dose any of you like to read and there this one guy that exploded from laughter hahahaha
Remember the skating dance try out when she was all decked out in roller derby garb. Lmao
cmon mom..i gotta try em on
still FUNNIER THAN SNL!!!!
that was either the finest acting ive ever seen, or truley her personality.
The audience is upclose to the stage and theyre laughin like crazy... Laughter like that is literally contagious.... How brilliant is Crista not to get affected by that?!
Genius 😅 this is gold
4:00 - that gesture is so amazing
absolute genius. i like her, she is a very funny woman
this chick is hilarious as fuck!!!
And so begins a legend!!!! The best repeat character of all time hands down
Thumbs up if this was the sketch that made you fall in love with Crista Flanagan...
Or Chuck Norris....
ITs not easy to say so much unfunny things on a stand-up and yet get so much laughter .. wow
Crista is what made a good show Great!
This is very Andy Kaufman! Love it
Fantastic!!!
I loved when she did "Hope is Emo"
I Know, right?!?!
agreed, and not only that, but i think it takes a really clever observer of human behavior to seize on and deliver some of these lines like "and I don't know!" at 3:05. obviously the audience loved this too.
There’s not a more beautiful human being on this planet other than Krista Flanagan she is so gorgeous
She Is So great! LOL.
brilliant.
4:57 And that's when all her characters in the other sketches followed suit.
lmao Yo, this is too funny! She nails this character.
This accidentally inspired the joker movie
Apparently Crista has a syndicated talk show coming out next fall...
