“You are serving me we both just said goodbye but now we’re walking in the same direction awkwardness.”
I felt that one in my soul.

"Bitch, he's not eating. He's at work!"
It's one of the best line delivery I've ever heard.
I didn’t even catch that.
Thank you.
Hahaha
Bob is amazing
With the 180 jump!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The DELIVERY 🎯
The stomps are what get me every time. But a very underrated sketch.
"Bitch, he's not eating! He's at work." Bob! This is the best thing anyone has ever done. Also, the black lady who actually wrote this--you're blessed and a blessing.
The stomp beforehand took me all the way out. Lmao.
I'm guilty of doing that a lot 🤦🏾♀️
Thee best line!!! Ain't enough exclamation marks 🤣🤣🤣
Fabulous writing ✍️ Great performances
Sweetie 48421 I FELT THAT! And the “bitch” that followed!!!! 😂😂😂
As a child from the House of Tired, who runs quick errands with no eyebrows and is awkward in the body - I finally feel seen!
Amen!!!!!
Amen to that
Hahha it's gotten to the point where I just go to work everyday with no eyebrows 🌝💀
Y'all cuuuu-razy!!? 😅😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
"Chemical imbalance realness ... unmedicated for the gods ... i see you eating carbs" genius!
Agreed
Oh gaud this is what we need 😂😂😂
Musty Bryce I feel so understood

Bob's execution of this character is perfection.
Absolutely FLAWLESS!
This is just Bob everyday lol
He wasn’t acting LOL.
They had THE RIGHT QUEEN as the Announcer Okurr!
@@brandyspain7125I’m convinced they just handed him a mic and said go ham and then made the sketch to match it
“....unmedicated for the gawds!!!!”
Doagae Porbeni - that was str8 up Gold
Yasss honey! 🙌
Yes!!
Idk if this should be stitched on a pillow or a tattoo
Mother Exhausted from the House of Tired ... I am ...

Everyone’s becoming obsessed with this new show Grand Hotel,it’s way better than this show
Pearl
I need a shirt with this thooo
“10 10 10, diagnose it. It’s depression “ 😂😂😂😂😂

Can we just recognize how amazing Bob the drag queen was in this!
YES!
So good
My basic ass did not realize that was bob!!!!

Very Kevin Prodigy
She is serving you a WHOLE NAP....🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Bob the drag queen is giving me life

Why they have to come for me like that lmao
“We both just said goodbye and we’re walking in the same direction” ooooomg that’s my life!
Lmmfao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always!! XD
I lived it just yesterday 😅
Me too
Yes that had me in tears I laughed so hard on that part and kept rewinding it!
"He's passing out matching shirts at the family reunion" I can't breath.
Kenneth Uyabeme but all the names on the shirt are mis spelled. SMH!
I'm 💀
Layers people!
@@samanthasharkey7124 Layers,&Layers 🤣🤣
There’s always that one person with the matching shirts
"There's nothing wrong with you, you're just awkward in the body"
I've never felt so seen
Dead🤣🤣🤣
It reminded me of Awkward Black Girl, the first show Issa made, such fun callback.
The disrespect 😂😂😂
She has all the receipts! she knows the return policy, she is not taking store credit!
🤣🤣😂😂, one of my daughters 🤣🤣😂
She is ME 🤣🤣
🙋🏽♀️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Karen!!!
Am I the only one who laughed when he said “shut up” so quick.
I didn't hear it
Nope. That was hilarious.
Hahahaaaa! 😭😭😩😩🤣🤣😝😝
I died inside😂😂😂😂😂😂
rewatched it just for that part!!!
3:08
“You are serving me we both just said goodbye but now we’re walking in the same direction awkwardness.”
I felt that one in my soul.
Hahahahhaha
i clenched my chest... i felt that!
@@Ebizzill my God you clenched your pearls😶😐🤣🤣🤣
@@consuellamccoy5217 ohh so cringeworthy i felt it from the fiber of my being.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 me too
Me too 😂
"Akward in the body. There's nothing wrong with you. You're just akward in the body." 💀 🤣Never has a phrase captured my essence so completely.
🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoooo
same here lmao.... Lawd have mercy. I'm that awkward gal that when i give the tickets to the movie person, and they say "Enjoy your film", I say. "Aww thanks, enjoy your film too"... mercy.
mitztheo I felt so relived watching the awkward part, thinking “yes!! So me.”
saaaaaaame
I had no idea I was serving clinical depression every day.
From now on before leaving home I’ll look in the mirror and hear: 10! 10! 10! Across the board.
With a name like Estrada you should have your own house. House of Estrada bitches, get into it!
Albert Estrada Same, and I’m doing the Eeyore suicide drop after I take my meds.
Albert, I soooo can relate.
blackwell008 sorry hear that, take care of yourself. Make sure you’re getting 20 mins sunshine a day (vitamin D3 reduces depression), eat better, yoga before bed..unsolicited advice.
Ur name is so cool....would marry u just for the name.
This is the most creative sketch I’ve ever seen
it’s based off the show pose
right, a very creative spin on ballroom. this is one of my fav skits
@@xxfairygutz right am wondering how others are speaking of rupaul and all. This 8s Pose baby with Pray tell's fierce character
@@xxfairygutz This is not based off a TV show. This is based off of actual ballroom in general. Which has been a thing in the black LGBTQI+ community for 50 years. It may be just a show to you but with that being said I can’t allow folks to miss inform or downplay or the community. Some grown folks of color actual knew about ballroom before pose so I can assure you the inspiration didn’t come directly for that show.
@@j.decole5372 Tks for mentioning that! The ppl who make Pose would want the children educated.
I could watch a full hour of Bob emcee'ing this Ball! 😂
Me too❣️❣️
FACTS! 😂😂😂
YEEEEEESS
He could mc my ball anyday
He did great!
She has ALL the receipts... yes she knows return policy! And she will NOT take store credit!
No ma'am! 😂
😂😂😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was the funniest to me 😂😂😂
WE WILL NOT TAKE, OH
Bob is a national treasure. Protect him at all costs.
"Oh there's nothing wrong with you, you're just awk-ward in the bod-eee"
So beyond messed up LMAO. I need Bob to emcee my damn life "you are serving pretending you don't see that student loan collection envelope". Would def watch an hour of Bob doing this mess.
delphineblue SAME! This could easily be a reoccurring sketch! Can you imagine??
😂
Do you watch Sibling Rivalry with Bob and Monet XChange?! They really are sisters from different misters, and have me crying with laughter every episode.
You forgot to add 'realness' at the end! LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"There's nothing wrong with you, you're just awkward in the body" LOl
When being basic is being hyped up. I am living for this true realness
The waiter said enjoy your meal and b***c you said you too...
B***h he’s not eating he’s at work 😂💀
Jay. P 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had to watch that part 10x😂😂😂
that jump he does is what leaves me on the floor laughing!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol ive lost count of how many times ive done that shit
I’ve totally said that before lol
"He's not eating, he's at work!"
Me, a server: yes he is
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
I died at that!
Issy Sacristan I cried 😭😭😭
Issy Sacristan you know he in the back eating when no one’s looking.
I've literally sat down and just ate with a table. The joys of working in a sports bar.
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this and I STILL cry laughing
When he jumped and jumped back and said “bitch he at work” I jumped off the roof
I can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The real m.....omg are you ok?
The real m I hollad when he said that
LMAOOOO
Awesomeness 😫😂😂😂
She knows the return policy 😂😂😂😂😂
Cathy ZambianQueen when she pulled out long ass CVS receipt 🧾...
“And she doesn’t accept store credit!” I hollered.
This is me, and I don't know how to feel about it.
NicholsKT feel proud. You are represented!!!
@@habibawest9253 same here 😂😂😂
"I am looking for sadness, I am looking for Eeyore in Dior!" Still my favorite line from the Basic Ball in a slew of amazing lines
Serving mispronouncing all of your friends’ names wrong realness.
Guilty🙋🏻♀️
That's why I don't even try it, I just say the cutie (if she or he shows that actually we have met more than once). Or she/ he is + lot of compliments, the best way is let others start a conversation and try to pick up names. XD
Yogur Lapiz mispronouncing names can be a good conversation starter as long as it’s genuine.
@@InterKELLar teach me your ways. XD
Call someone with the ex names I no good, so if you have a safety card share it. XD
The awkward in body dragged my soul from hell and back. Never felt so attacked.
Like, whaaaaaaat did I do to be read like this?!
Same. I say “you too” to waiters when they tell me to enjoy my meal!
“Let’s argue about routes to work “ 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
We need more basic ball sketches from this show... GENIUS!!
Yes! I was just thinking I would legit watch a whole hour of these loool 😂😂
How about dat bad bitch support episode🤣
Bernadette Leonard, I was in tears. Angela Bassett was golden but they all made it absolutely hilarious. "Just don't be no basic bitch…" I'm going to watch that again now.
Yes! There’s so many silly categories they could do!
@@bernadetteleonard4940 that was Hill-lar-irus!!!!!
The Basic Ball sketch must return every season. This is literal perfection.
THIS 😩🙏🏼💯
Please Black Lady Sketch Show! We're beggin!
Please! Bring this back😤😤😂😂
I agree 😂
"You are serving me the 'we just said goodbye and now we're walking in the same direction'" 😭😭😂😂😂💀
😂😂😂😂
“She knows the return policy, and she will NOT take store credit!” **I feel seen and called out 😂**
😂😂😂
Yeah, that was me, too.
Yasssssssssssssss
My God thank you for not making me the only one lol. Bish I don't want your store credit... so you can force me to come back here! No ma'am!!
Karen
PLEASE do another ball sketch because this is so funny
They need to cause it's the most funny sketch they've done.
mspenney3 Agreed
Too funny!
I agree! They need a part 2 & 3!
@@libbymills4432 you don't have eyebrows bitch I died
I Loved the chick with the blanket that just fell out serving full-on depression. So real and yet comical.
🤣 Mother exhausted from The House of Tired 🙌🏻...why you gotta call people out like that?!...Also she just looks so grateful to be out of the house 🤣
Rose Mary Sandoval Lomazzo it got personal. Lol
Rose Mary Sandoval Lomazzo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 She truly does.
Game of Thrones reference?
😂😂😂
Right, I feel attacked. haha.
She has all the receipts, she knows the return policy and she WILL. NOT. take store credit! Hahahhahaha
THAT one spoke to me! 😂
"Serving mispronouncing all of your friends names wrong realness..." lol!
I felt this.
The tongue click when he picked up the mike - this was going to fierce ..... 😂😂😂
🤣😂
Ikr... da mike echoes the emphasis 🤣
When he clicked his tongue I screamed!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh that had me dead.......
Saaaaaame !! XDDD
"You are tired, unmedicated for the gods"....lol
The waiter/waitress says "Enjoy your meal." and you automatically respond, "You, too!" with a big friendly smile on your face that just MELTS! That is too real. I'm getting flashbacks.
Two takeaways:
"I have 2 daddies & they are serving leather and linen"😂
"He didn't start the grill until everyone showed up, so you won't be eating until late"😭
Hahahahaha
My dad, every. Single. Time.
I was half expecting Spice Adams as a cameo when that cat was announced...
Danita Bowie The fat guys dance, though 🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣
🤣😂
This has me DYING 😂😂😂 finally black LGBTQ comedy that’s not borderline offensive or problematic to us that are actually in the community :)
Haze Morris right i’m living for casual inclusion. where we aren’t the butt of the joke and it isn’t a big deal that we exist!
I’d looooove for this to be a reoccurring sketch!!!! Different categories every time!!
@@BriarRouge - Please Lord let it happen ☺️🙏🏼💯
@@silverslipper149 DL ppl like you love talking that dumb shit online. Do the world a favor and disappear
@@lfinch150 shut up and stop fornicating
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with you. You're just awkward in the body." 👀
My ribs are touching!
😂😂😂😂
" They're serving me lets argue about routes to work realness." Bob The Drag Queen, excellence!
Can we just take a minute and say how good of a host he was lol.. 10 across the board!!!!
10! 10! 10!
That's Bob the Drag Queen and I stan!
YAAAS 😂😂
The host of Pose was most exhilarating, descriptive and even humorously insulting, lol.
Comedy Queen for the Gods
This deserves 3 watches at LEAST. One to listen to the emcee's comedic standup routine, two for the voguing, and then them collectively.
OMGEEEE " She is serving a whole nap"..I can't. Lol. This is some Shameful Shit! I am here for it.
I AM IN TEARS SIS 😭😭😭💀💯
Che Debnam 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Full REM sleep on the floor!!😂😂😂
@@9thborn 🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
The house of clinical depression...literally my life...literally cooking pasta as I type...😂😂😂
I'M CRYIN SIS 😭😭😭💀💯
I KNOW OMG that part reminded me to take my meds
Me eating ramen during my down days 😭😂😂😂😂😂. How do they know?!!! 😆😆😆
As a fellow depression model, this made me laugh so hard. I have served all those looks! When it is dark it is hard to see the light, finding laughter in our sadness was served.
I’m laughing and crying at the same time. Ramen on deck
House of Awkwardness here! YASSSSS!!!! Serving "Sprang my ankle walking down the stairs to the Metro train!" 😂😂😂
Giving you looking for your phone with the flashlight...
on your phone.
@@PatrickCervantez YASSSS!
@@PatrickCervantez I won't even talk about me on the dace floor! 😂😂😂
"She SERVING real Whoopi Goldberg"
"The waiter said enjoy your meal, and you said, YOU TOO. B*TCH HE'S NOT EATING. HE'S WORKING"
The announcer had me crying 😂😂😂
That's Bob the Drag Queen, winner of RPDR.
@@iamsalaya Siri what's RPDR bloop
Had me DEAD 😅😭😅😅 too funny
This is probably the only drag ball I can participate in with categories I can win. 😂
😹😹😹😹😹
Lol
Me too!
LMBO... same here. I wld win the awkward award🤣
Me too!! Lol 😂
From Bob's opening tongue click to his slamming the mic finish, this was exquisite.
ETERNAL CHILDREN!!! OF FOREVER 21!!! I-
Ammy Cruz Triggered? 😂😂
This line was the 1st moment i gagged! lmaoooo this show is everything
😂😂😂😂😂
I feel attacked 😅
That death drop into a whole nap part did it for me! Hilarious!
Haha! I know, right?! So funny!!
@Christiane 7714 It's called a dip, dear, not a death drop.
@@STLHouseLegend good to know. Thanks!
Hey 10vely
One of the greatest sketches of all time.
The matching shirts at the family reunion is so my uncle🤣
PLEASE LET THIS BE A RETURNING SKETCH PLEASE
i need this to be back!
@@giorgiacastellano6519 it's back guys
@@DMoses76ix7 really? Tell me please--how?
@@KiaTheDMVBison A Black Lady Sketch Show is back on HBO for season 2. This sketch hasn't been brought back as yet, but we're only in like 3 episodes into season 2.
The sequel is Teacher Gets A Man. Even wilder than this one.
3:32 The jump back and front again! 😂
She's serving you a FULL Whoopi Goldberg.
😂😂😂
That took me out 🤣🤣
Ethiopified I was in cramps 😂
LMFAO
💀
We need a "Exhausted tryna start a business to escape corporate slavery" category.
Only to ask Massa for start-up capital...
That would still be at the regular balls
PRIVATE health insurance is a bitch! You will just be a slave to the health insurance companies paying a crapload of $ into copays/deductibles/medical bills. 😩😩😩
Yes!!
Yassssss 10 10 10 across the board. 😂 I too would compete in that category at the basic ball
This really is one of the best sketch shows to ever exist. Every video is hysterical. Bob is amazing in this
He didn't start the grill until everybody showed up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Hilarious
Lol this is so real.Coming from someone who suffers from depression this actually cheered me up lol
It cheers me up to know you're cheered up!
Yes!!
IKR? I’m in this video and god help me I do like it!
This depressed girl could watch this over & over again! 😅 They probably have no idea what this skit means to so many of us! How many of us this cheered up, and gave great, genuine LOL's.
🥰🙏🏼 I had no choice but to STAN.
SAME.... and tip: try using *copes with* instead of suffers from... takes some of the negative stigma out...
“Try-hardiness” should be an official diagnosis
I suffered from it daily lol 😂
"He not eating! He's at work!" 😂😂😂😂
This made me cackle despite my clinical depression. You have no idea how rare that is.
It's not especially if you're a black American from the inner city
@@KnowledgeSeeker78491 he meant its rare for him to smile because he's going through a lot right now 🤦🏽♂️
Trendy Blue Zar you’re right. That’s exactly what I meant. ☺️
I’m a black lady, btw. My name and profile pic probably make it hard to tell. That’s my mom in my pic, though.
It's funny cuz its true!! Lol
Stay strong sis, nothing wrong with medication therapy and church
"she's serving you... a whole nap!" i am she, she is me.
“She’s the queen of awkwardness” ME
This shit is genius!
I dream of being in the writers room when they came up with all this brilliance!
She has all the receipts , she knows the return policy and she will not take store credit baby 🔥💀💀
as someone with depression this was amazing and made me feel good thank you :)
DarkBunniDNR laughter makes me feel a little better when im sad or anxious so i totally get it!
That whole sketch was my Ptsd and that laughter was good for my SOUL. Keep your head up.
Me too. I am serving up chemical imbalance realness today. I am waiting on my depression pills.
Same here! 😀
me too! much love to all of you enduring the shittiness of depression. a big big hug my friends...
You just bumped into your boss and now he realises you have.. no eyebrows !!!! 💀💀
As someone with “no eyebrow” I felt that in my soul.
The way she tugged the bonnet over them had me weak 😂😂
im so hurt right now lmfaooo. came for my bonnet and my brows. i cant !
@@keyunnagibbs Yeeeesss!!!
Eeyore in Dior is an immortal line.
“You too” to the waiter!! 😩😭😭 omg I’m so awkward like that!! 😂😂 this sketch was everything!!
That one had me shocked because I have done that too
KWU KWU I’m never not myself. I don’t relate to that. It’s more so (for me) dependent on whether or not I’m trying to be courteous and in a formal setting.
I am her.
My best friend called me at midnight to wish me Happy Birthday and I said “You too!”
That death drop because she fell asleep 😂 this is the true intersection of RuPauls drag race, depression, and black comedy- aka me.
The fact that it was a weighted blanket which is used for things like depression was just the cherry on top.
I love my weighted blanket. LOL
*dip
this isn’t drag race- Drag Race took inspiration from Ball Culture. And Ball Culture is historically Black. The comedy is having a ball category that is just Basic, instead of extravagant or a specific look
@@adrivoid5376 you
“I’m looking for sadness. I’m looking for EEYORE in DIOR!” I’m dead! 💀😂
I can't! "He JUST started the grill when ya'll showed up. Now you wont be eating till night time." toooo acccuurrate.
did that hit home??🤔😏
This has happened at way too many bbqs.
'I'm looking for Eeyore in Dior.' just sent me back to my maker, lol
I legit spat out my drink
10/10 wold allow Bob to follow me around commentating on my life and roasting me on the daily.
The category is Running Errands. She knows the store policy and she won't get credit. This is television genius right here.
Tim Spruill When she whipped that receipt out ...💀💀💀
I need “Awkward in the body” and “She’s the Queen of Awkwardness” on a T shirt because I am she and she is me 🙋🏾♀️😫🤦🏾♀️😂😂😂
Omg y'all need to make this a recurring skit with a bunch of themes, this was too hilarious!!
" *YoU aRe UnMedicaTed For THe gAWdZ* "
I HAVE BEEN SERVING THIS MY WHOLE LIFE😂😂🤣
Queen Bob the Drag Queen, you are the absolute best. I love this.💜💜💜
