Ellen DeGeneres old stand up - Fakin` it

[RegisPhilbinFan]

LOL the guy with the beard at the bottom of the screen @ :58 agrees with LN

[xBillyTheKidx]

"listen to this.... y'have to"

at first i was like *facepalm*

but then i was like HAHAHAHA

[myleftear22]

She's so adorable and hilarious!

[Meilinoa]

She can still do clean comedy while talking about sex, now that's talent =D

[ceeejayyy]

its so weird that heterosexuality is supposed to be the "natural" sexuality but when i heard ellen talking about an ex boyfriend it seemed so UNnatural

[Mandylois16]

awww her voice is so young here, but her little smirky remarks like "you have to" haha shes still the same!

[mjuklo4]

she's so cute

[lizoerd]

omg! her hair :D

[littleripper333]

is that rosie o'donnell at 2:43?

[wakebreakers]

UH. For all the talk on her unrelated to the video, I would at least point out that young children can have attractions. They're called crushes. I have definitely heard gay people say that as a kid they had crushes on kids of the same sex. It's just something that came naturally, is the point. It's a part of who they are. So that's why people say "they were born that way." It's a preference that they didn't choose consciously.

Anyway... Ellen was and will always be awesome sauce.

[tinkerintenor]

I love this, first time seeing this clip! This woman never misses a joke: "Listen to this - you have to." She amazes me. :-)

[DogsneedpIeasuretoo]

Chihuahuas are like rats, I'm surprised there is no cats hunting them XD

[vanessreg]

OMG!! I Love love love love love her !! Soooo funny...

[TheKwamusic]

My boyfriend broke up with me back in-*Audience awwee*-- Ellen's face *Doesn't even matter.*

[ThePinkfan1]

Seriously, she's cute!

[SereiaCarrancuda]

And than they conect... o.-

huahauhauhauahuahauhauahuahauh­auhauah

[allgoodgifts]

Nice sweater, Ellen! LMAO!!! She's so sharp & fashionable these days. ;)

[ColCrackABitch]

She looks similar to Meg Ryan, here.

[laslos3]

wow nice hair! lol I knew Ellen from her sitcom, but never got to see her stand up. She seems so humble, but is so f'n funny.

[DJLunasf]

@laslos3 She's so down to earth & her comedic timing is amazing! Love ya Ellen!

[jujuchan911]

She's gorgeous !

[AlexJaySea]

[ben10Topgear]

@brotmann86

omg it is

[brotmann86]

@ben10Topgear okay so it wasnt just me ;)

[tysin87]

@abfab5300 Finding Nemo didnt save her career lol..

[abfab5300]

@tysin87 Doubt it, maybe it didn't but it sure amped it up.

[mabindaby555]

Ellen is my favorite person! And I love her shoes.

[eugenio909]

0:44 Chuck Norris? hahahahahaha

[HardCoreMegatron]

@lauralein89 A dickie is like a shirt front that guys sometimes wear with a tuxedo. It's like a fake shirt.

[trancegemini1]

@HardCoreMegatron

really thought it meant a dickie bow tie?

[lauralein89]

ok, so i kinda wasn't born when this took place and i'm not from the us, so could someone pls tell me, what the heck is a dickie or whatever she's talking about?! thx.

[SidraBhatti]

wuznt ellen suppposed to b a dyke....where did this boyfrnd come in??? is that a joke or for real?

[spellher]

@SidraBhatti

She did date guys when she was younger.

[abfab5300]

@SidraBhatti Coming out wasn't too much of a wise decision back in those days. It wasn't even ten years after this show when she finally did come out in 1997... Ruined her whole carreer until she got the Finding Nemo role.

[shesplashes]

@abfab5300 not true - it was an extremely brave and brilliant decision that saved a lot of lives. She was already way back on top through hard work and just being brilliant by the time Finding Nemo came along. Good for her!!! :-)

[abfab5300]

@shesplashes Do I in any way refute that? One thing's got nothing to do with the other, it did ruin her career back in 1997, it was only 2001 that her sitcom The Ellen Show was canceled again. I in no way deny her hard work or het brilliance, a lack of which was definately not the reason that her career ended up in a downward spiral. From which she got out of no earlier than in 2002.

[krzessu]

The hair are hilarious... but she's soooo cute :)

[MrSerenityF0rd]

ellen's my favorite person

[zuzuzmith]

@MrSerenityF0rd Seriously. If I could choose an adopted parent at 27 years of age it would be her.

[bec199008]

ellen degeneres is one of my all time favorite comedians :) thanks for the upload

[Sukyhoi]

she's so natural! like that about her!

[cabronaloca101]

[THISxISxREALITY]

Rofl! If i was one of those birds and we were getting close to the ground i'd seriously consider faking it! :)

[wirklichdoof]

ellen rocks ;)

[grassbread19]

aww Ellen with longer hair....she's so cute....does anyone know what year this stand-up was in?

Ellen is awesome!!!

[Ringedama]

I've been watching some other clips and I wonder if this might be 1992..? :-) I agree, she is awesome!!

[wovenv2]

the hair looks like the 80s;o

[bbperv]

i swear in EVERY degeneres clip, all i can see in the comments is GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY...can people jus stfu please :)

[LadyGM720]

@bbperv Thank you for saying that!!! You beat me to it! lmfao XD

[gustopheles]

@bbperv not even Ellen is gayer than the dude at the 0:44 mark

[JuniorProducer1996]

Mullet Dory?

[drmak3r]

shes realy pretty,and i think its one of the few women in stand up who is actually funny

[brlaranjo]

she really knows how to work the audience, participate with the audience, good job:)

[JackieLovesKC]

So she had boyfriends, right ?

Must be weird u know that ur gay and u have a boyfriend

[girlnbetween69]

it's just a joke...

[JackieLovesKC]

I knows just a joke -- must be kina weird talking about it anywaaaay

[CelineDionFan4life]

her mother has a chihuahua, LMFAOO :)

[grammyd55]

wow......she was so young......but weren't we all? Her hair is better than the audience!

[actionjoejoe]

omg the hair! But still, she's really pretty!

[therabbit101]

GAY! but it's okay. still better than rosie odonell.

[queblevia]

she was great even before she made it. totally cool and composed. BRAVO ELLEN. I LOVE YOU!

[lemoncurry19]

She's totally gay in that clip.... the hair, the outfit... I'd go for her in 2 seconds.

[girlnbetween69]

LOL I'm with ya!

[emilyae]

OMG! in Taste This, she uses a lot of the same material. But its funnier in Taste This.

[Harlot13]

Haha, as much as Ellen loves animals, her sense of humor about them can be kind of morbid - throwing hummingbirds, and then I remember her telling a joke about gluing a hamster or gerbil or something onto a frisbee...

[kimster521]

She is so funny. I think she's great.

[korolla8706]

LMFAO!!! Their wings go that fast but unless you throw them really really hard they go about 40.

I about died when she said that, i literally laughed for 5 min on that! LMAO!!

[PengunaFilms]

she had a boyfriend? but shes gay!

[DonnaGreenleaf]

I did to, but I'm gay. Many gay people have a partner of the opposite sex before they come out.

[ripleyLV426]

she was in the closet. He was actually a she.

[lenaslife]

yea. it's just a really old clip so she probably hadn't even confessed it to herself yet

[JazBlogShow]

yeah she has, she had a girlfriend when she was 20 who died in a car accident who then inspired the convo to god monologue that she did on the johnny carson show which launched her career.

[actionjoejoe]

people, this is comedy, she is making up these things because its FUNNY! Or do you think she had a neighbour back then that had a dog that's wearing a sweater around his shoulders? She had confessed it to herself then but not publicly and yes, she did have a couple of boyfriends before she realized she was gay...

[dogiiwogii]

she wasnt gay her whole life

[TwistingWays]

She looks so weird with long hair XDDD

[ThumbprintTheatrics]

I love her because she's a genuinely funny person. Some comedians have to work very hard to come up with things. It just comes to her. She definitely picked a good career. I love her.

[ricardo10101]

and her comedy isn't dirty haha =D

[lezxotic]

Actually if you've ever paid attention to the people wsho know her well: Alexandra Hedison, Portia Derossi and Anne Heche. They all described Ellen Degeneres as a very QUIET and Serious person.

She writes her own comedic material so it isn't like she just gets opnstage and voila the jokes come naturally. Get It Right.

[ThumbprintTheatrics]

First off, you're grammar is ridiculously inaccurate and I am therefore inclined to think of you as a joke. However, since you decided to start a fight where there really was no need for one, I'll play your game.

I never said ANYTHING about the way she acts off-stage. I don't see how that affects her stand-up at all. Also, I'm sorry that I do not research every detail of every comedian I watch.

[ThumbprintTheatrics]

But it is a shame that you feel you need to correct a comment that was never wrong. I also was referring to the way she writes her material AND the way she interacts with her audience. Get it right.

[lezxotic]

NO what's a shame is that nyou are keeping this going. I have no desire to establish an online relationship with you, and since I am entitlesd to make a commentit's NONE of your business what I type.

Comedy DOESN'T come naturally to Ellen was my point! She works hard to hone and perfect her craft, nimrod!

[lezxotic]

YOU GET THUYIS RIGHT. GTFOOMF read my people cause I really don't have time to communicate with your kind.

[MillaCaLarsen94]

She had a mulet:-D

Sooo Robbie ray

[SuicidalMickeyMouse3]

Chiwahwa. lol

[SuicidalMickeyMouse3]

luv her hair here!

[me2u2like]

obviously...

[L00daKris]

She's been a lesbian since birth genius. All gay people are gay from birth. If you want to PRETEND to know anything about the subject of homosexuality at least ask " was she out in those days?"- Educate yourself before posting such idiotic questions please.

[sidewaysfcs0718]

some ppl fluctuate ...some ppl go from gay to straight to gay ....every person is different.

[PengunaFilms]

that bi

[lemoncurry19]

Sorry but the statement "All gay people are gay from birth" is reductive, simplistic and... ignorant. I'm sure you have the best intentions but one blanket statement does not cancel another one out. There is very little we know or can say for certain about sexuality, any sexuality. The only thing we can say is we should all try to be true to ourselves, to be happy and to make others happy.

[TheAssesKicker]

@lemoncurry19 Actually, all gay people are born gay, they just don't realize it as kids, for obvious reasons, in fact i think you grow into your sexuality, it's like liking a colour, when you're born you don't really know you do like it, but at some point when you grow up you realize that you do like that colour.

[DogsneedpIeasuretoo]

@TheAssesKicker

People are not born gay, people are not born heterosexual, people is born with no sexual orientation. People don't get a sexual orientation till they reach puberty. If people where born with a sexual orientation it would mean that identical twins that share the same DNA would always share the same sexual orientation, yet there are identical twins where one is homosexual and the other is heterosexual or bisexual or asexual or zoosexual. People is born without a sexual orientation.

[TheAssesKicker]

@DogsneedpIeasuretoo Being born gay does not mean it will be in your DNA, just like liking the colour blue is not in your DNA, not everything about you is in your DNA, people are born gay, but kids don't realize it , because their hormones aren't kicking yet and such.

[lemoncurry19]

@TheAssesKicker

Look, for all I know you may be right, just like you may be wrong. It's just your opinion.

[TheAssesKicker]

@lemoncurry19 Indeed, but you may be wrong too, and don't you forget that.

[lemoncurry19]

@TheAssesKicker No need to take that tone. And let me remind you that you're the one making unsubstantiated, general comments and wording them as if they were the gospel truth.

And just a couple of things: kids do have working hormones, nobody is born with a pre-programmed favourite colour, in fact a lot of people have various favourite colours throughout their lives, and though indeed not everything is encoded in our DNA, if you're born with a certain quality then yeah, it is in your DNA.

[TheAssesKicker]

@lemoncurry19 What tone? you're saying your opinion, and i'm saying mine, you said i could be wrong, i told you the same thing, and indeed nobody is pre-programmed with a favourite colour, that's why i said you grow into your sexuality, sexuality is fluid, you don't suddenly wake up and say "hey i'm gay", and if kids are like teen agers and their hormones are already kicking and such then explain to me why did they not hit puberty yet?

[charliefaraday]

this is so great! still in the closet then :) x

[godfadddah]

I love Ellen. Those drunk idiots talking ruined her last joke though. Hecklers need be shot!

[yamushka]

she even sounds different :)

[4341449]

[aus27mad]

[squirrelygirl816]

there are WAYYYY more guys in the audience than she probably will ever have on her show today.

[channale]

"she's running from a dog, LETS GO." - the way she says that, it's SOO ellen, right?

[atayraco]

she dated a guy back in highschool...

[melissabrianne]

Haha. You totally can! It's just about pushing the right buttons; it doesn't have much to do with love or attraction really. I mean, it helps, of course, but orgasm isn't totally impossible. :)

[sugarhoneyicedtea123]

[randomist92]

[moofootiesma]

I love this. Not only is she funny, but there's a drunk chick in the crowd and Ellen's brief interactions with her made me crack up.
