Gray Elizabeth....procrastinating: "delay or postpone action; put off doing something." You're holding back to decide whether you like the show or not, is that right? Well, sweetie, shit or get off the pot.
I remember watching a rerun of this on tv with my mom probably 10+ years ago when I was kid. I remember laughing so hard then and now. One of the best. I hope she does standup again someday.
Her humor is about things we have all experienced. Maybe we didn't laugh then, but she has us laughing now, and that is wonderful. Sometimes I enjoy raunchy humor, but her lack of vulgarity is so refreshing.
That is what all the greats, IMO, have the ability to do is take everyday situations that we ALL experience and make them funny - Brian Regan, Seinfeld, Norm Macdonald, Sebastian Maniscalco and of course Ellen
At the time, talking about being “gay” as she did was VERY TABOO and Controversial.Her coming out cost her her sitcom and sent shockwaves through “ polite society”.
What a brilliantly written and performed stand up. I have watched it umpteenth time and it still makes me laugh. Irrespective of all the flak Ellen has got over the last year, she is one of the funniest person alive. Love from India.
She is so much prettier now than then.Her dress code was so dowdy and homely.Her hair was horrible there.lol.She had on no makeup.Now she is smartly dressed, great hairdo, fantastic makeup that she looks like a different person and so much younger.
I just love her, she brought gay/lesbian family to public television. Her stand up is truth telling at it's best. She's got a very beautiful soul, and her aura is shinning super bright. Her & her wife Porscha really need to have children, she will be a GREAT TIME MOMMY. Adopt a few ( 1 or 2 ) kiddos.. AND finally start a family 😮😢❤. They have so much love, AND I sure hope that BABY will be loved so far from good..SO IM yes please Daddy... I NEED you GOOD BABY BROTHER, no worries my SECRETS HAVE all left my lips..❤ NOT keeping 1 of them.
She is the female Seinfeld! Mixed in with a little Mark Twain. Brilliant observational comedy and genius how she pulled it all together into a full circle at the end. No vulgarity, no swearing, no sex talk, no bad-mouthing or ridiculing any group, no bantering with the audience to kill time. Solid writing and incredible memorization skills that made it look like she was just having a conversation with you. She should do more of these, especially since her show is off the air now.
She is one of the meanest, most uncaring, and vile people ever. Hurt dozens of people who worked for her even to the point of forbidding any one of her many employees to look at her in the studio.
@@fareshajjar1208 I used to love Ellen DeGeneres SO much! Even now, when I think about her, I remember her like this, in her early years, when she was so sweet and vulnerable and funny - which was why so many of us adored her. Then I wonder, what happened? I think that perhaps all the venom that we have witnessed from the "later Ellen" may have been the result of a really sensitive soul that was exposed too much to the ugliness of fame, fortune, and Hollywood. She isn't America's sweetheart anymore, but I like to remember her this way, when she was. And I hope a day will come when she finds healing of her soul, and returns to being who I believe was her true self.
OK well maybe we can get back to that Christian fundamentalism Disney values you crave so much - but hatred and evil are part of the world whether we like it or not - rather than pretend they don’t exist why not let them out in standup comedy?
The Old Man She just has her own style. Doesn't make her a better comedian. Just makes her less controversial. I personally like a little controversy with any act, whether it be comedy, music, or any other art form.
I was laughing so f*cking HARD that my mum came in and asked me if it's time to go to the psychologist... GOD ELLEN THANKS FOR THAT HUNDREDS OF ABS I MADE.
Alejandra Jorge-Thomas Way to go Ellen!!👏 😼We love her too! Her witty humor and relatable topics. This show was back in 2003. Her jokes are so true and 😆😆funny! She's still got her own show, *ellen* she produces it, and clothing line, clothes she helped inspire and create. I'm seeing this in November 2018..Yesterday was Veteran's Day. Thanksgiving is next Thursday.
Whenever I'm a bit blue I find Ellen. Whether watching excerpts from her show or her stand up, she always makes me laugh and feel better thank you Ellen.
Watching in 2023, I’m still laughing. Classic. My nieces were with me this week and one said, “ Funny lady- who is she?!” I said ,”YOU know her, don’t you?” My other niece smirked “ Duh- it’s Princess Diana,!”so smug about it, I didn’t correct her.🤣🤣🤣
Damn, I had no idea Ellen was this funny in stand up. Not only funny for the whole family, but also funny for anyone sitting on their phone at 1 in the morning...
I often fall asleep watching this and not because it’s boring. The people with anxiety will understand this comment. It’s comforting to fall asleep to 😂

"" That one hurt.....
I watch this many times,and I always cry of laughter,especially since its all daily relatable things we go thru. (plus Ellen brings a positive joyous energy about her)
Personally, I find Ellen to be not only funny, but brilliant and creative (not to mention heartful and REAL). She is the most imaginative comedian I have ever heard. She sheds light on things from a uniquely intriguing perspective. And what I love is that she actually SAYS SOMETHING with her jokes, so while funny, they are also meaningful and help.
Badseacookie how do you know how much comedy another person has watched? Oh I see, you just assume that you have watched comedy more than anyone else. Impressive.
Badseacookie no no no that’s not what Angela said. Angela said that Ellen is funny alongside being brilliant and creative. She’s also really honest and has a huge heart of gold.
I laughed with tears at that part with imitated running after the fall and glass windows. I never laughed that much on any other stand up. Omg, Im so thankful. Laughing your guts out, this true, honest, unstoppable laughter, man, thats rare and so out of ordinary that it almost seems magical.
A child under 5 dies every 2 seconds of malnutrition on the planet. Ellen show lasts one hour, so thats 1800 kids during that show alone. Does god bless them also?
I watched this years ago with my brother around the time it first came out. we referenced the toilet paper claw and pickle claw for months afterward. and still, to this day, we'll still ask each other randomly "can you help me find my eye?"
Outstanding, intelligent, relevant and universal humor. Laughed and smiled again and again. Focusing on our common tendency to move away from being present, here and now :-)
I don't speak English very well, but the other day I was watching 'Fnding Nemo' and I totally recognized her... but I wasn't sure until I read your comments ( I mean, It's not like I googled it or anything at the time)
She’s incredibly intelligent, smart, clean and very hilarious jokes I couldn’t stop laughing from beginning to end and her facial expressions are the best🤣🤣🤣🤣Thank you so much Ellen. You made my day👏👏👏👏
I have so much to be thankful to Ellen for. Not only is she so hilarious and makes me bust a gut, but my sister who passed away 8 years in 2018 introduced me to Ellen's stand up. Thank you for so many great many memories and laughs Ellen ❤️❤️❤️
oh m goodness i and my identical sister BOTH AGRREED with what u just saidd Seriously, she died, unexpentically died this past August 2nd. I willk always fremember man y mq ny gears ago, We Loverd this Ellen omedy!!!!!!!
yeah,ellen always makes me laugh. everyone can connect with her. i am a huge bodybuilder dude and even i love Ellen and connect with her style of comedy. she dose comedy for everyone.
Oh holy hell....this is so freakin funny...I saw it on HBO today and every thing she said, every topic, I was freaking, "been there, done that". OMG....I LOVE HER!!!!!
I am SO glad I was reminded to find this, again! It is STILL just as funny as I remembered and surprisingly relevant, even though it was filmed in 2003. The beauty in this special and The Beginning are how absolutely relevant the relatability is in her comedy. People love to laugh at themselves, at the end of the day. I will never forget being a young teen and watching it on HBO, it was around midnight and my Dad was sleeping on the couch, behind me. I had tried as hard I could to not bust out laughing and wake him, but failed numerous times-ESPECIALLY during the "embarrassment" segments. "That's Not Nancy", tripping and, "Pain really takes a backseat to embarrassment" - such GOLD! 😂 I laughed hard enough that my Dad remembers exactly what night I'm talking about. I absolutely love this special so much. Now to watch, "The Beginning" again.
I've probably watched this stand up at least 30 times. At one point in time I would watch it every day for a couple weeks. Never stops being funny. No one will ever be as pure as Ellen Degenres ❤️
Thank you for this!!! I had this and her other stand-ups on DVD and haven't had a DVD player in years now and I really missed watching it. ❤️❤️ I liked and subscribed for u. Thank you!
I must totally disagree with you. I am not gay and i love her. She is my favorite person of all time. She is genuine, caring for others. You should watch her show she is always helping people. She ROCKS!
Emily Kelly that slag, pig faced pill head bloated Amy Schumer stole that from Elen and used it to Ellen's face right on her show! The look on Ellen's face!! You can Google the clip.
I was shocked by how good this was! Her impressions, making insecurities come to life as characters, the mini scenes she acted were amazing---and her memorization skills were awesome. I really had no idea what a great performer she is, I thought she just showed funny kid-friendly videos and danced with celebrities. I have a new found respect for her talent.
Wanda Sykes? I used to love her until yesterday I tried watching a full standup show of hers... about halfway through I got tired of the swearing and ranting. She tends to belabour a point w-a-a-a-a-a-y past where it's not funny any more.
She needs to do another stand up in 2023 I miss her comedy
No,she really doesn't
Is anyone else procrastinating by watching this? 🙋

I enjoy most stand up comedians that are popular today, but it shows real talent when your show isn't centered around how vulgar you can be.

She is the female Seinfeld! Mixed in with a little Mark Twain. Brilliant observational comedy and genius how she pulled it all together into a full circle at the end.

Well, people kinda don't like her now, so there's that.
Yeah, she is somewhat like Twain.
She is a he and part of the peado ring that runs the world, wake up

How bout that? No cursing. No racism. She did not once put someone else down and it was still funny. It's a real shame that cannot happen today.
The Old Man could argue it's ableist at times but I took it as gallows humour
OK well maybe we can get back to that Christian fundamentalism Disney values you crave so much - but hatred and evil are part of the world whether we like it or not - rather than pretend they don’t exist why not let them out in standup comedy?
The Old Man She just has her own style. Doesn't make her a better comedian. Just makes her less controversial. I personally like a little controversy with any act, whether it be comedy, music, or any other art form.
It can. It just takes great writing!
Except she did. The mentally ill.
Non-offensive jokes can be funny too! This is the proof!

so true !!!
you're right but she's one of the least funny people i know. this is the type of comedy that you just think man wasn't seinfield enough
Aliisa Sadghost your a douche
This is so theraupatic . No racial slurs.. no disrespect for caste, Creed, color or religion.. and still so relatable, yes, still so relatable...
Love how she goes from topic to topic. It’s really fascinating the way her mind works….
She talks about things all of us have in common. Doesn’t matter what age or gender you are. That’s her appeal….
This special never gets old. Wenever i need a good laugh i watch this :)

She's so innocent and vulnerable here

The bangs!!! Toilet paper claw, pickle claw!! Both jokes still go through my mind all these years later and I still crack up to myself
This is Ellen at her peak before she became too rich and out of touch with the relateability that was at the core of her brand of comedy.
Yes I miss this Ellen
Used to be funny then got weird and very immature and silly

I've probably watched this stand up at least 30 times. At one point in time I would watch it every day for a couple weeks. Never stops being funny. No one will ever be as pure as Ellen Degenres ❤️

Thank you for this!!! I had this and her other stand-ups on DVD and haven't had a DVD player in years now and I really missed watching it. ❤️❤️ I liked and subscribed for u. Thank you!
ED is absolutely fabulous. Thank God we had / have her. ❤
I must totally disagree with you. I am not gay and i love her. She is my favorite person of all time. She is genuine, caring for others. You should watch her show she is always helping people. She ROCKS!
I died a four or five times from laughter.
Lulu Molloy. RIP😇😜
U ded now?
Could you make it 6, and make it final?
I watched her new one and had to come back and rewatch the oldies. Love her absolutely love her. 15 years later and she's still got it.
Thanks for posting this!! Luv it! 👍
The only person I know besides Mr bean that can make people laugh without making fun of someone.
"Is the popcorn really that delicious that we must shove handfuls of it into our mouth?"
Answer, yes, yes it is.
Emily Kelly that slag, pig faced pill head bloated Amy Schumer stole that from Elen and used it to Ellen's face right on her show! The look on Ellen's face!!
You can Google the clip.
Emily Kelly and then Ellen imitating the sound of someone eating big handfuls of popcorn, really cracked me up...
She wasnt wrong only our sitcoms are called tiktoks 🤣
I just love her special way of humor
I needed this today!
I'm so glad Ellen brought some happiness into your day. :D
I was shocked by how good this was! Her impressions, making insecurities come to life as characters, the mini scenes she acted were amazing---and her memorization skills were awesome. I really had no idea what a great performer she is, I thought she just showed funny kid-friendly videos and danced with celebrities. I have a new found respect for her talent.
This is absolutely fantastic 👏🏼
And am I alone surprised by her rapping?😮😁
Timeless.
This woman makes me laugh so hard.
awesome!!!!
joke without F or dirty word ,i love her!!!!!
She said a few cuss words...
God, you're boring.
Menina Milenia No you are.
Jesus I just want toilet paper what's funny is I ran out of toilet paper and Jesus creep me out

Ellen and Wanda are the two female comedians that just get me rolling. No other woman can do that for me haha
+Nat Cat Wanda with the story of the mouse on fire. epic.
Jennifer Jackson Yes!!! oh my god
Wanda Sykes? I used to love her until yesterday I tried watching a full standup show of hers... about halfway through I got tired of the swearing and ranting. She tends to belabour a point w-a-a-a-a-a-y past where it's not funny any more.
Nat Cat I love Tig Nataro also!!
have you seen Kathleen Madigan?
This is so funny I’ve watched it several times over the years and every time laugh
