Paula is the one comedian I truly hope to meet. Yes she’s hilarious and brilliant but her social views are incredibly powerful and needed. She’s the best.
I just love her voice. Paula has the quirky kind of humour I adore. The way she said 'I'll handle this' regarding the Louisiana ladies was sheer class. Loving her work.
Ian Brooke watch “what the cat dragged in.” Utterly hilarious riff with two audience members specifically. I read her wiki page. She has improv experience - really shows. Says “ I’ll handle this” in that one too. Very rich. Enjoy!
Had to laugh at her comment that the day Bush was elected was the worst day of her life .. either one looks pretty good by comparison with what we have today.. She's a great comedian!
My roommate and I wondered why there was cat fur all over my tub and the sink. She caught him laying in the sink with the faucet on letting it fill up with water. A couple days later she caught him in the tub after my shower rubbing against the side between the curtain and the side of the tub. He jumped in my bath with me once. Spraying him with water doesn't work. Every day: "Why are you wet!!!?"
Is your cat a Maine coon? they often enjoy water. My Maine coon used to love bath time. Sat on the edge of the tub when I took a bath . Put his paws in . God I miss him .
J C You know I have my suspicions. He looks just like a Russian Blue, but he’s very tall or long. He has quite a few Maine Coon traits, but not quite so much of the fluff. He has that Blue-gray, short haired , double coat of a Russian Blue. There is a feral cat in the neighborhood that I mistook for a German Shepherd, definitely Maine Coon material, that I think was my cat’s father. He seems to dominate this area. But yes, now my cat insists on accompanying us in the shower and the bath every time. I also have to shield the sink from him if I want to brush my teeth in peace without his head getting in the way. And when he’s done taking a shower with my roommate, he gets all excited. He sprints down the stairs, jumps into bed with me, and has to tell me all about how clean he is while demanding pets. “Ugh! Taz, you’re all wet!!” “YES I AM!! ISN’T IT AWESOME!!! LOVE ME!!”
Gosh, remember when we thought the election of Bush was such a political low? When we thought THAT was a baffling sign that so many of our fellow Americans were choosing irrationally? Fast forward to 2016 ....
I am from Louisiana but I am from south Louisiana and am cajun French indien so I call south T’ Louisiana little Louisiana because we speak cajun and creole and indien French. We are wayyy more friendly than North Louisiana which was a culture shock and a different country. I moved there and it is where the drawl is. Now I caught it. And I lived in Florida with the same humidity even worse, and to s of cocodrils/gators. Said like ko ko dree’s. I hate those big old bugs too. Lol!
3:31 Paula wondering why Florida doesn't just skitter off into the Gulf of Mexico. I would remind her that Bugs Bunny DID cut Florida off of the USA with a big saw in one of his cartoons. The mischievous scamp.
Aww poor 2009 Paula had no idea what was in store for her xD Bush getting elected wont be the most depressing day of your life for long; things are gonna get crazy, Past Paula xD BAM had to drop that semicolon in there!
Hasn't it occurred to anyone that the recent toilet paper shortage has to do with a national infestation of Florida bugs that just *_happened_* to coincide with the onset of Covid-19? 🤨
Ant Cannone And not as commonly hyped. Peanut allergies did in fact increase after the american Academy of Pediatrics advised moms not to let kids have peanut butter until age 9. They’ve finally realized it and now are promoting early introduction.
Paula Poundstone I totally love you... You're absolutely beautiful... I'm totally heterosexual...but I've loved you forever and I just had to tell you... well I hope this gets to you...
She’s great live, she interacts like the seasoned pro that she is. Love her eternally 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

It's kinda her thing 😂😂❤️
I loved that also!
As a kid I would be so happy when Paula came on Johnny Carson Show ,got to stay up late to watch😎
Have just informed me that Paula Poundstone was ever on the Johnny Carson show.
Clever off the cuff humor, and the interaction with the audience is priceless.
She makes it an art form. Compare her to Seinfeld who has an obviously disdain for anyone who isn’t him.
This is my childhood right here. I still adore her voice & hair. :)
totally :)
Me too!
Had to laugh at her comment that the day Bush was elected was the worst day of her life .. either one looks pretty good by comparison with what we have today.. She's a great comedian!
I'd take 4 more years of Bush at this point
F
Fff
Love Paula's cat stories
Have you heard the "cute little cat stories" shes been doing on Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone? 🐈🐈🐈😂
This was on a comedy special sponsored by Pop Tarts. I had it on VHS from sending box tops to Kellogg’s
Yep, me too! I still have it.
Holy shit that's so cool. I still have my Kodak VHS tape of it. It's mostly just the sound now lol
I had it too
You are the Greatest Paula Poundstone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ever!! :-) :-) :-)
I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of all the Paula Poundstones, she is indeed the greatest.
" do you have anything in kittens at all .. maybe a slipper with a head" lol
BRILLIANT !!
So endearing
"I'LL HANDLE THIS." I love her.
I loved that! ...and we knew she would!
Hi. She is still performing. I saw her as recently as last month. She is still absolutely hilarious.
She’s hilarious.
Kelly York I love her.

You have to use a bat.

LOL. I love this part, especially the bit about the ants.
She is still performing in concerts go to her website. She always has a list of concerts for the next couple of months.
Love her comedy!!
“Crawled to the state line … “
ROFLMAO🤣
Omg this is so great lol
Came here for the ants coughing bit. It stuck with me all these years from watching this as a child. 😆
Wonderful comic
Gosh, remember when we thought the election of Bush was such a political low? When we thought THAT was a baffling sign that so many of our fellow Americans were choosing irrationally? Fast forward to 2016 ....
I was thinking the exact same thing
Aaaaand, that’s why you got Trump.
Super enjoyable. Thank you
"I ll handle it"! lol

Love the ladies from my Louisiana! Way to represent! 💛💜💛💜 💣💣💣
So you do count just as slow as they suggest

She is HILARIOUS.

You stylish fella you
7:35 🤦♂️ Paula, your future self will be horrified on 01/20/2018 when GWB’s legacy becomes a distant memory of “better” times.
I thought that was my worst day too,...now I know it was NOTHIN' in comparison...
ant cough!
Hasn't it occurred to anyone that the recent toilet paper shortage has to do with a national infestation of Florida bugs that just *_happened_* to coincide with the onset of Covid-19? 🤨
The question about who is the POTUS really bums people out now in 2018.
She's from Huntsville, Alabama.

WHERE ARE THEY PUTTING WALNUTS ON PIZZA?! Thats bad for someone with nut allergies!!
Claudy0707 At the time of this performance, nut allergies weren’t a reality!
There was so. My best friend in High School (20 years ago) was allergic to nuts. They just weren’t as common.
Claudy0707 Very risky to not declare them - to not ask about nut allergies. Get yourself sued like that when aunt Bea dies from anaphylaxis.

7:15 sound of a joke aging amazingly well
I live in MS, I'm not sure why states border us either 😂
@mesa401 Well, yeah. He is.
How do I get to this from watching videos about Karate? I like Paula Poundstone anyway, so it isn't bothersome.
she performs on npr
is she irish?
The joke about "who's the president" bumming people out has returned to relevance.
2 people that viewed this are fans of Larry the Cable guy
So that's all she got out of Louisiana is David Duke
Still funnier than you
Paula Poundstone I totally love you... You're absolutely beautiful... I'm totally heterosexual...but I've loved you forever and I just had to tell you... well I hope this gets to you...
She’s funny
Disasters in institutions? ❤
I'll handle this? Watch out! ✌️
Paula try petting your cat backwards sometime.
@imjeff3 Hey!!!! I like Larry th Cable guy, But I also enjoy Paula!
How does she like Trump then? Yeah, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.
😁
@2:20, David Duke is doing his job too. Louisiana is one of the poorest states. Which mostly consists of people of color.
L
She was great on homemovies, on stage not so much
The "nutless" president we have now is SO much better.
You would never want her to babysit your daughter!
I would, she is great
