Hi, everyone! It's Mo. Thanks for watching the special. It was a life-changing experience and I'm so happy you took the time to check it out.
That was beautiful, thanks for making it!
Fantastic special.
FIRST Brown fan probably! 🫶🏽
Girl dad here. Excellent delivery. I can’t help but think you should be writing essays. 🤔
Good luck on your parenting journey with your wife. 👍🏾
Glad to see you back. Your daughter is beautiful.
I watched this twice in one day, it really hit me like a sledgehammer. I'm also an 80s baby, and also grew up without a dad. The guts it took to track him down... just amazing. This is so much more than a comedy special, this is some very special ART. Thank you Mo!
The fact that Mo Welch came from a dude like that is shaking my world a little bit. I always thought we wanted fewer dads like that. I’ve spent 17 years trying my damndest not to be, but now I have to worry about my daughter’s future opportunities in comedy. Can she even be successful OR funny without my active estranjement? Also, good dads want their daughters to feel good about themselves. Also, if “hotness” comes up, they’re a republican, not a father.
Truly, a wonderful and special special!
Extra points for the "j".
With every re-watch, I appreciate something new: Mo's vulnerability, the masterful way she uses humor to tackle past trauma, the tales of motherhood intertwined with her memories of childhood, and the edge-of-your-seat build to a very satisfying conclusion. Well done to Mo, and to everyone involved in this project.
I really love how creative specials are getting now. I love them being full shows beyond the standup.
I wish Mo could be my dad. This rocks.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE! BEYOND funny & super real! Love everything about this so much! A must watch!
LOVED THIS DOC SO MUCH. Everyone should watch this. Particularly for free. Funny, touching, everything you want in a movie.❤
Thank you;lots of healing by your bravery in sharing the lighter side of trauma....thank you!
Moms ARE hilarious.
That baseball joke about playing catch was hilarious on so many levels 😂😢
Absolutely loving this. Very different vibe but real. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much!
The strength both Mo and her mother seems unshakable, turning something like these experiences is a superpower
I had no idea what i was in for. I grew up in Chester, Illinois 62233!!. Different story but so much relatable trauma..this is healing and hopeful and just...real.
Thank you ❤
This really punched my heart, thanks lady 🙏👍
This was awesome. Funny, irreverent but also heart warming. Thanks for taking the risk to make it!
Relatable on many levels 😂 My favorite part was the first question she asked him, I was dying
9 10 is my passes 9 11? 😆 🤣 😆 🤣 WTF? WHERE DO YOU GO FROM THERE? 10 out of 10
I love it. Real, brave, and cool.
LUL "every night my wife and I tried." killed me
I love the honesty… funny and moving in equal amounts.
Gosh this was nakedly real, sad, beautiful, and hilarious! ❤
I don't even have an adult daughter, but I really want to go hug one right now.
Peoria needs ‘Mo’ of this comedy. 😃👊🏽👏🏽
Good stuff Thank you
You turned up in my feed and I am so glad that you did. Great special! Very funny and heart felt.
Love how you skillfully spun all that into comedy gold. Some of this really resonated with me and I imagine with others. You are an inspiration indeed. I hope you find those elusive truck nutz someday! #dreambigRapunzel 👑🥜
Hi Mo! I am not in the army but I really loved this .
This was great. Love the premise. New fan.
Thanks for who you are & sharing your truths! Awesome set!
I can relate to Mo.
I’m the youngest of 6 but my father did not want me nor did he ever spend any time with me. He wasn’t a good man at all. He was actually a male Whore.
My mother and father separated when I was in 5th grade but I was told they
“Got divorced”
They didn’t because they never got married which I found out when I was in my 40’s. None of my siblings ever knew until I told 2 of them. It was a little shock to them.
I can count on one hand how many Times I spoke with my father throughout the decades.
Oh well I’ll shut up now.
When a comedy special moves you while making ypu spit out your dinner
This was so well done, thank you ❤
incredible special!!!
I loved this.
38:40 I just want to say... I know when you're in that kind of situation where it feels like what you have to do is impossible it's hard to have the perspective... but, if you're the kind of parent who wishes so much that you could do it better... no one is ever a perfect parent but that's the best kind of parent there can be.
10:44 That's a perfect point, perfectly made.
Brilliantly executed Tragicomedy🎭
Thanks for sharing, this inspires others to explore their experiences and feelings 💕
This is fascinating.
Thank you!
Dads are complicated.
The ones who just show up can sometimes hurt you as bad as the ones who never show up…
Maybe it’s worse, if they give you hope?
Of course fear is never what we want a dad to give his child; pain and hurt physically, mentally, and emotionally leave scars.
I hope you found some kind of peace with where you are. You deserve better. Unfortunately we don’t always get what we deserve.
You made lemonade out of lemons.
And you made it funny! Humor definitely can heal us, so thank you for this.
✨💖✨
🖤🖤
❤
Fantastic job
Amazing special. Comedy is so much better with heart
the Carlton!! my hometown. And Dad jokes I get. Grew up w hearing the same ones legit every single day..
shout-out to Mo's military fans!!
Mo, please. ❤
This was a RIDE.
I would guess Dad is a Jan Smithers kinda guy.
Higly recommend. Good, creative art, fresh voice. (one minor writing error, below). I mostly listened, but what I saw even had a freshness in contrasts. I hope Mo makes more documentaries- funny ones, a la, Michael Moore. She could do it. Mostly, I’m a critic of these projects. Nice work.
This was very well done.
Funny lady!! Really enjoyed your work Mo! 😂😂😂😂 This reunion must have been hard. Hope you got some closure or a new opening! ❤❤
What a cold dad.
He seemed so disinterested in meeting you and participating in the project. He didn’t deserve you.
Good stuff love her
Hey this was great!
Thank you so much!
Oh Mo, this is the first I ever encounter your content. This was bitter sweet, I have to admit, but isn't that life? This doesn't compare to Romeo and Juliette, but doesn't it, for us common following, a lil bit? Anyhow, thank you for this, you artista. Thank you for this piece of art ❤
Nice job Mo. Suspect you’ll be getting a lot of bad comments, but we like you, like your stuff
Thank you! Part of the game being a female comic. Those people are sad.
The "playing catch" thing is a great premise.
Funny. I liked this one.
She’s giving me Chelsea Handler vibes, who’s with me on that?
I enjoyed your comedy special. I liked how your journey to visit your father was interleaved with your stage performance.
When I think 80's babies I don't so much think of everyone smoking as 'no car seats'. You just held the baby in your lap. But it's tough to turn that into a joke so I can see why it's not there.
Oh, the "favorite zoo animal" Q? So insensitive, cause it's basically animal jail and brings back bad memories. A safe Q is how much he can bench and/or squat.
It makes sense that's she the funniest female comic I've ever listened too; and lesbo.
Let's be honest guys...
Your dad missed out!❤
I wish I had had a daughter or two.
Mom, Me, Mo
Mo, I'm still waiting for the "why did you walk out on us, and where did you go?" question. Was it asked? Did he answer? Any other heart to heart stuff adressed? Also does your dad have a sense of humour? Does he like your jokes?
Hey, Mo. It sounds to me like your dentist needs a better sense of humor. I've been going to the same dental office since I first got teeth, and I can talk to them about most anything. They love it when I talk about Bigfoots and current events.
Love this for you
Ice cream!
reading through the comments made me want to start counting how many times the word 'brave' would come up. But nah, I'm sure it's a ton anyhow.
Great song, you have a good voice. The story made me sad. Thanks for that. I hope your life has much improved. Oh, and i enjoyed the jokes... all three of them. This was more a sad biopic with a few jokes.
Some of the premises were great but the delivery…. Not my style but some people seemed to love it. I still watched the whole thing. I guess I’m just not the target audience here.
Omg this story is so sad! I hope you found some sort of closure through this vid.
It's interesting how you just give your mom a pass. Like she was totally innocent, not literally complicit...
Definitely demonstrates the importance of having decent parents.
For the alg.
I'm not info blondes or lesbians but very enjoyable comedy
I’m not military
😂.But hair joke unfair and stolen from Gloria Steinem (“every man who has changed a diaper has written a book on it”). Also, girls very particular about hair very young. The most I’ve done is covered an ordinary rubber band with holiday foil for a niece so it would not stick to her hair. I did not have proper hair gear.
People in the west should grow up. Parents be responsible. Being a man and drinking your life away is escaping responsibility. Plain and simple
Damn you funny girl, greetz from Germany 😊
is it contacts or drugs that make your eyes look like that?
More jokes, less talking to your therapist, please.
More standup. Less therapy.
Yeah, and smile more, you could be so pretty.
¿Por qué no los dos?
Dad abandons family, girl becomes a lesbian.
Wow that was heavy. Classic case of Comedy comes from tragedy. Couldn’t laugh with you on that matter.
Huge ol meh
I prefer sunglasses like those because my eyes are super light sensitive, and I;m pretty sure I have very similar political views to her. If not more leftist.
"Knock Knock Knock."
"Hello?"
"I got my period here for the first time."
-Forever Fan🤣
Peoria lol better than Pekin......
The mask 🙄. I do like her dark humor and her delivery...
14:20 joke is a rip off of Louie CK's joke about his ankle
Terrible
All kids deserve to have a dad, including yours.
Hahahahah I'm guessing your dad hates you
all kids deserve to have loving parents. what kids don't deserve are bigots.
@@bubi352 Some things are objectively perverse. Sxualizing children is only one of them. You are a monster if you enable them. Hug your dad.
"objectively perverse" is a contradiction in itself.
@@bubi352 You really have quarrels with "God." The big "daddy issues." I don't have time or regard enough to solve your Oedipal complex.
I don't need to spell this out to you, you already know that's why you're defensive.
There are objective designs of nature.
Here's something objectively perverse, violating and sexualizing children. People who practice other perversions, objectively, provably, empirically, also are much more likely to be both victims of crimes against children and predators of children. Read that again. I only care about the truth.
If being unapologetic about prioritizing children over perverts makes me a "bigot" in your perverted sense then put me on a pedastal. There are worse things than being a "bigot." Namely being a pedophile or a pedophile enabled or being so pathetically senseless that one can identify objectively perverse behaviour. This isn't about you or any of your ilk, it's about kids.
We as a society can prioritize the fetishes of perverts or children. As Unwin points out in his vast work "Sex and Culture", any society that becomes overwhelming perverse is empirically proven to fall and be over taken from within or without by people of greater self discipline and virtue, people like me.
My Atman is with Brahman.
Meh...
Ok. I think this b#*** is funny. She make the station types of this comedian comedy. She got it. $Zwhoopx2
It's not funny, starting right off with blasphemy and talking about being proud of sin. Nope
I thought this was supposed to be a comedy special not a therapy session 🤦🏾♂️
Sorry you only know one great dad, Barack Obama. The majority of dads around the world are great. More than 95%.
so when do you get funny
Garbage
Stop with the cutaways, stand up is all this should be, not life clips
Can I get my money back, as a veteran of the “water one” we like gallows humor but not whining. I love my Mom and she’s funny without constantly talking about her v, such a female comedian trope.
Gross
Hmmm
well nine eleven is because of twenty one april it means a certain thing
to certain people and that goes back way before ´ 9 - 11 ´
