Don't Assume You Know How Retta Rolls | CONAN on TBS

Bach. Mass in B minor, BMV 232, b*tch.
Retta, you have a glorious voice.
This is Vivaldi..... The Laudamus Te section of his magnificent Gloria....
***** I stand corrected. I was listening to Bach at the time and thought I'd heard it before from him.
Haha. I do it all the time! Did it with Bizet just a few days ago.
AMEN.
not puccini?
Today I Learned: Retta is the niece of Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first female president of any country in Africa. #whoknew
so cool!
And her cousin is Ginuwine. Girl is low-key rich.
MAGNIFICENT!
THE Ginuwine????
Arkhitektz you say this like Tom Haverford lol (real ones know)
I love her. Love especially how she carved out a role for herself on Parks and Rec after sitting out the first season as the Black prop in the background with no lines. Well done Retta.
She so clearly rehearsed this joke and it is so worth it. This is flawlessly hilarious.
Funny as hell and WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!
Represent Sis!!! Funny as Hell!
Fact
They really ought to make some musicals like this. Ending a magnificent vocal showcase and then "BITCH!)
ah ha ha ha...they really should, I'd listen.
😂😂😂😂 I howled with laughter at that!
they do its called Opera. xx
one of her classic bits from her stand-up days! It's ages well as did her voice. get it girl!
this is, quite possibly, one of the best videos ever.
Spectacular :)) Both comedically and operatically.
I watch this over and over again. It feeds joy to my soul.
"Beetch" X'D LOL
Best way to react in such a scenario.
Found this from imgur. Enjoyed every seconds passed on this video. This woman deserves a medal!
Same here. Had to watch it myself.
Upvotes!

Feliks Dzerzhinskij lol I'm here from the latest repost
First rule about imgur, you do not talk about imgur.
I saw the stand up version on comedy central some years ago. Beautiful.
That was fun!
FYI the song was from Vivaldi's Gloria. Retta sang a line from the second movement, "Laudamus te," which is a duet for two sopranos.
I had no idea she had such an operatic singing voice. Wonderful.
literally my favourite video on earth
This is my new idol. That is simply phenomenal.
I'm sure that this has been pointed out, but this isn't by Puccini. It's by Vivaldi, who was composing almost 200 years before Puccini. More specifically, it's the third movement from Vivaldi's choral work "Glorida."
Thank you for this
Frasier,is that you?
@@unexpectedvixen5685 How dare you?!
I remember watching this lady tell this story in a standup routine. I love it!
this is still so ICONIC
This never fails to make me laugh. Love her.
She is so flawless! I love it!
WHAT A GORGEOUS VOICE SHE NEEDS TO SING CLASSICAL MORE OFTEN AHHHH :) lol I sang along to the other part of the duet, it's Laudamus Te from Vivaldi's Gloria
I love this! She managed to stay super classy, with an edge! Hilarious!! Good job girl!
LOL, you go girl!
WOW!! I had no idea had such a beautiful singing voice! Love it...Go Retta!
BITCH.
i had llol moment.
literally laughed out loud
I never get tired of this video. :)
wow,she's got some pipes on her....love you,Retta!
I was totally 100% amazed at her voice. For someone who is not trained, she sounds fantastic.
How do you know she's not trained?
@@theoperazone3862 Because I got curious and nothing in her bio indicates she'd had vocal training. That's NOT a bad thing. She has some seriously natural talent.
Also damn, I responded 10 years ago to this so...timely response right there. lol
I read somewhere that she got some classical singing lessons when she was younger. She is multi-talented!
Seriously with you on that one. The bass in Baroque music (for me) is the number one best thing about it...always booming
This woman is Gold 👌🌟
Since I discovered Good Girls, she is one of the best people out there!
I heard this a long time ago and never knew who it was, except it was hilarious...and then I watched Parks and Rec and realized it was her all along. Thank you. I've been looking for this for soooooo long.
I love her! LOL. But I can't believe there are even comments complaining about something. "Loud music is rude" "If her music was seriously so loud that it's vibrating..." "This is racist" "She's literally assuming that because she's black..." "So because that old couples white..." "She's rude for this" or that... Like it's a joke people. You're supposed to laugh not cry and complain. Seriously white people, you guys gotta loosen up, life's not that serious.
+Zoe S Especially since she never mentions anything about the couple being white :P
+dreamliverock indeed, I fear Zoe S might be a bit racist
Totally agree. I did think for one instance I wonder how loud it was. But honestly your music doesn't have to be loud at all for the bass to be heard. I think because the white peolmewere staring everyone assume she's in some ghetto low rider with that bad rattling sound from the music.
Honestly classical music needs to be listened to at a slightly higher level because it has great hills and valleys. If I'm on a long car trip I love to get lost in a classical piece whole going 85-90 mph. There is nothing as powerful as a symphony.
white people? what are you talking about, i thought we were all just called "humans"
she was rude by calling someone, a bitch, for no reason. It is like..how dare you don´t like rap music? she is the one who is judging people. Not only judges but also shares some of that opinion too. The only reason she had singed, was to prove that she is not only another black person listening to rap music, that somehow, because she can sings beautifully with a opera voice, she is more than you had asume she is.
*Great* Voice Retta!
I feel bad for not knowing who she is, but her comedic timing is PERFECT!!
I come back to this video every few months when I wanna laugh at pure gold 😂😂😂😂
Keeping it classy with classical music >:) Just the pure enthusiasm I see coming from artists in the genre made me come back and just up doot for the brass to come out and represent the classical music crowd.
BITCH. I might have just died HAHAHHA
#blackgirlmagic
awww she is so sweet, she is more precious than Precious
try it with the raccoon hat, see how it goes! ;)
Grear Karen line.
Treat yo self!
THIS GAVE ME LIFE OH MY GOD :'D
treat'cho self
This is literally the best story ever.
What wonderful and funny message right there. Brilliant.
why isnt this getting like 50 million views??
i didn't understand the lyrics of the song but the way she acted was awesome
The lyrics are Latin. The song is from Vivaldi "Gloria"
ooo thank you so much for almost immediate response :D
"The calling" Otis:) You're welcome. It's only took me 24 minutes. haha
Renato is correct (Vivaldi's "Gloria"). The lyrics and translation:
Laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te
We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee.
The work was originally written for a choir and orchestra of orphaned and abandoned girls in Venice in the early 18th century, at an institution called the "Pieta" where Vivaldi was their music teacher and conductor (maestro di cappella).
bassbonebobf
Actually Laudamus te is a movement from the ordinary Mass, so it's been set to music by all kinds of different composers. None of them included a bass line such as you'd hear in another car, though, so that part is entirely made up.
Love this piece and as a result love Retta even more.
Deserves a "Thug Life" lol
This is me.....#EPIC! I listen to any and everything....I love this video! lol
Omg this is everything! I laughed at the ending. Perfect timing! 😂
Oh goodness she sings wonderfully! I want to hear more!
Omg I love her!!!
what a goddess
PRAISE
She's great. Just freaking perfect.
She is EVERYTHING!
how could the lady in the car not be able to hear the music but the lady in the interview was able to hear the other ladies voice?
the other lady in the car mouthed the words, if you hear a phrase at a certain amount you can eventually read it from someone elses mouth while looking at you. im sure youve experienced the same thing.
Boink Ogre the lady in the interview never stated that she read the other ladies lips...but i guess thats a possibility.
***** your right i should have said that it was my assumption.
***** She said "and she's like, 'It's that rap music again'". Pretty sure she was reading the other woman's body language.
2r3tard3d
thats an assumption but it seems to be the decent reason.
Stopped by to adopt a dog but the employee, Donna Meagle, was nowhere to be found! Thanks for nothing, Donna Meagle!! Booooo!!!!
My favorite clip from the show.
Retta is always hilarious 🤣
I think the major issue is that she's playing the music so loud that it annoys people. Not the fact that it's R&B or hiphop.
Who the hell is she. I love her and don't. even. know her that was FUNNY than a mugg
+DANDRE TITUS Definitely check out Parks and Recreation! She's hilarious on it!
(seven seasons - ended last year - start with season three)
She's from parks and rec
+DANDRE TITUS lol she literally plays her self on Parks an Rec, she has tons of good ad lib moments.
Nah, start with season 2. The only season worth skipping is the first one, and it's only 6 episodes, so you don't miss much. But if you skip season 2, you miss gems like the hunting trip episode (Donna and her Benz!), the intro of Ron and Tammy, Louis CK's run as simple Dave, the telethon, etc.. Shouldn't be missed!
I fucking love her
Wow. She's so amazing
It's Vivaldi, not Puccini!
And btw she says she really likes classical music and proves her point with an exemplo straight from baroque music... smh.
prgnify Classical music the genre, not the era. Come on now.
Lindasaurus
Why? What would be the definition of the genre? Using classical instruments? Like when I say I like rock music, cause the music I listen to has guitars in it, and you automatticaly know if I'm talking about Foo Fighters, Krisiun or Beatles?
Classical music and baroque music has many more differences than just the era, like the bass line - which is characteristic of the baroque genre AND important to her story.
Anyway, I try not to be pedantic, and I'm sorry if you really thinks I've wasted anyone's time. But to me it seemed just as pedantic as the original comment, so w/e, I tried to give my 2 cents.
prgnify baroque is a subgenre of classical. so is romantic.. and renaissance.. western classical music encompasses all of these, don't be a pedant
wil son
Like my rock music exemple. And many more, as House and Trance music are subgenres of "Techno", or the kids that come correcting you when you say Dubstep in a Brostep music video.
I don't get why people like the clarification of subgenres in some cases and not in others. w/e.
she's the collest :D
OMG that is the best thing I've seen/heard in a long time, and the only time I've enjoyed opera!
I love this video. When I see this on my recommendations, I click and laugh. 😂😂😂
what is she saying?!
There is a problem, how can she know the other person was like "oh its this rap music again" if her windows were closed, and how can she hear the other person say that if the music was so loud that it can be heard outside of the car
My thoughts exactly. It was funny though.
I'm thinking she's referring to the expression of the lady's face which would say that...
Facial cues. Plus, sometimes you can read lips.
She's a comedienne. The story may be based loosely on fact and she's probably told it 101 times, hence the singing and punchline
One doesn’t even have to be proficient in lip reading, when the racism is so rampant.
And her voice is amazing.
Retta❤
I do remember that still funny. But white people always got a box for us.
+phyllis740 ya'll always have a box for everybody else
+phyllis740
ouch, should i point out the irony or do you get it yourself?
I don't care what kind of music someone else listens to and don't judge anyone by their music. But when a car pulls up next to mine blasting the bass so that my car vibrates and I can't hear my music then I judge that person to be a rude jerk, no matter what type music they are listening to. It isn't the music itself, it is the huge bass intrusion into my car. It is rude.
ROLL UP YOUR WINDOWS! >:I Simple as that!
MrRossT1 rolling up your windows wont help that
Cliff Reeser Then, you got a sh*tty car! :P Get a better one!
MrRossT1 it isn't a problem with my car and my windows are rolled up. It is the over amplified bass emanating from the cars of rude jerks that resonates through all the cars around them that is the problem. Maybe I just need to equip my car with multiple commercial truck grade air horns that I could blast in the direction of the bass-jerks' cars in traffic. I wouldn't be a jerk then by your estimation, the bass-jerks would simply need to roll up their windows and get better cars to mute my air horn blasts. Right?
Thomas Burns How about you get a life? :P Obviously, you don't have much going on in your head if rolling up the windows doesn't help. What's next, executing people for farting. "They polluted my breathing air!"
This is so much better than the picture on Pinterest. Omg!! I LOVE HER!!!! Ans that voice - Angels must stop just to hear her speak and sing!! 💗💗💗
I will forever come back n watch this with thee utmost admiration 💕❤️💕
People that blast their music so loud that you can't hear your own music in your own car are simply arrogant, disrespectful, rude, etc etc. But that's OK; I smile when I think about the hearing loss that they idiots are sustaining, will never get back, and don't even realize or care. Have fun with that hearing aid when you're 50.
I'm fairly sure the woman wasn't making a judgement call about the music, but rather about the excessive volume. And, depending on what kind of person the other woman was, it could also have been down to the fact that Retta is black and quite fat. I think the 'rap' music (which would be hard to discern from just the bass, especially to any older woman) was probably the least of her problems :/
For all you know that story was completely made up. Unless you where there? The least of your problems is how black and fat she is so why take it there?
Wayne Gibson The story is obviously made up, contrived solely to show off a bit on Conan's show, & poorly done, as it is rife with self-contradictions.
Wayne Gibson Perhaps it was made up, I'd not considered that. I have no problem with her weight or race, I just meant that those would probably be the things annoying the older couple far more than wondering whether she's playing rap music or not
mattbellamymate I don't think you understand how comedy works.
"fairly sure", eh? The youtube supersleuths strike again! How many times did you have to enhance the image to discover what the couple in the story were REALLY thinking? I must have this technology!
Omg the video editors come up with the best titles for videos!!
I still love this vid!!
made my day and best story telling ever!
Love this!
Gah, I love her so much. She's such a fantastic and bright person. I'll always be a fan! ♥
I am so happy someone else remembers this! I always thought it was such a great commercial. I wonder if it was her that was in it.
Wow, she has a gorgeous voice!
THAT'S FANTASTIC.
I saw her live in Nashville Tennessee and she presented this scene live in her stand up!!!!!
As someone who remembers watching that special, I can confirm that it is just as amusing. And the way she belts out those notes is still incredible!
I love her so much.
That ending killed me!
Great voice!!!
Love the voice.
Love her!
This literally had me in tears.
i love this woman
Fantastic!
Amazing voice. Really would like to hear more of her.
Would be amazing if she would show up at Andre Rieu tour.
And come to Holland, Maastricht ....
Amazing and really jalous ... my voice even doesn't want to shout outloud ... ;) Let alone sing .... well If you want to clean out a room full of people it would work but that is about it.
Really very beautifull
