  • Hi.Someone mentioned that they met (RUTINA) in real life,and she is much like her character Tara.I have no way of knowing that,but all I know is that I seriously loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Tara.Yes she is obnoxious,and very rude,and Tara and Lafayette are two stereotypical characters,to some extent.But how could could anyone not love Tara (RUTINA) and Lafayette (NELSAN).

  • OMG how many times have I wanted to get into a know-it-all customer's face like that?? LOL!!!

  • Out of the few clips I've seen comparing Rutina vs. Brook, I'd have to say that Brook nailed this scene but she was a bomb in the other scenes.

  • I love Tara LOLOL ^-^

  • Don't understand how Tara can survive the BLAST TO THE HEAD! spoiler. . . her brains exploded! Don't think there's any coming back. haha. Well, I actually miss this Tara. The witty, smart, funny Tara that they had in season 1 and 2. In season 3, I felt like it all changed and I'm talking about the whole story, the characters, etc. Season 1 and 2 are by far my favorite. I hate season 3 and season 4 is alright. Seems a bit off though. Lots of changes in characters. Bill isn't as sexy either. :[

  • @angelicbaby92 i think tara got turned into a vamp :D i really really hope she is a vamp cuz boyy that poor girl have gone through sooo much lmao i feel like if she stay a human any longer she is gonna go crazyyy

  • @angelicbaby92 Well Rutina said she is coming back for the fifth season so she might be a vampire

  • @sweetheart2109 Awesome! Or she might be in flashbacks OR A GHOST??

  • @sweetheart2109 XD I really want her a vampire XD that'd be so hot XD

  • I adore Tara. She is witty, loud, a bit brash, and fiercely loyal. I am also fond of the dimensions that they gave her in introducing her family, the facets of her personality, and the loyal but independent nature of her relationships with others. While I cannot entirely see a "racist" figure in her, I can see where people might think that having seen only her first scene. I would like to assert, however, that she is not necissarily racist, but fundementally angry because of her circumstance.

  • Tara isn't dead, the director said so. She might be turned though ;)

  • Hate that accent!!! But she is so bad ass!!!! Haha,WAYLAN!!!!

  • Damn! Ima miss Hookah.

  • this scene kills me. i love the way she screams WAYLON! i love season one version of tara the best: tough, smart as a whip, hotheaded, and vulnerable without being too victimized.

  • I dont understand why actresses who happen to be black take these racist roles written by whites. Rutina is wayy better than this and deserves better.

  • @midnitedawn it's not a 'racist' role. i agree that, in the first couple episodes, she might come off as an 'angry black woman'. but, by episode three when we meet her abusive alcoholic mother, we see she's angry mostly because of all she's went through in her childhood.

    besides, it's not a stereotype. she's clearly an intelligent girl, reading 'the shock doctrine' and articulately running circles around this obnoxious idiot customer.

  • @theenigma0808 It is a racist role. I also wanted to believe it wasn't because I wanted to enjoy the show but I had to be honest with myself. Tara is a walking, talking stereotype that white media loves to (falsely)project.

  • @told85 You can call it a racist role if you want, but I know a lot of people just like her.

  • @favorited I don't know any like her. Her character is too over the top , dramaticized for white viewers, stereotypical racist role.

  • @told85 Do you live in the south by chance?

  • i thought Rutina captured this part better than anyone!

  • Love her character, but her accent is abysmal.

  • That's Janice from the movie Wanted.

  • I can see why they recast the part. I am so gonna miss Tara.

  • Mad she smacked him the face.

  • Lol I LOVE tara

  • I meant she lol

  • why is he soo stereotyped??? Not cool.

  • I will get my baby daddy who just got out of prison come over and kick your teeth in - jesus tara don't do anything like... - oh my god! I'm not serious you pathetic racist. I don't have a baby. damn...

    lol! I love it! she is sooo badass...

  • best part is when shes says OH MY GOD with that shocked look on her face xD

  • Yep, she was better than the first actress--who herself was quite good. Can you see Tara as a vamp? Scared of her!?!

  • WAYLON

  • love this woman! but ii hope they bring her back in season 5 only because she is my favorite actress in this show!!!!!

  • she sounded like Sandy the squirrel at the beginning

  • RIP Tara

  • @cljauvtis OMG!!! Did Tara die?

  • @MsKia0302 T_T I really really really really really really hope not. She's been through way too much to just die like that T-T

  • @MsKia0302 if she doesn't die, i'll be a possum king. shot gun blast to the head will put a bitch down, oh yeah the only way she could possibly live after that is it sookie comes out with some new freak power to revive people. i swear they just keep stacking(nopunintended) more and more powers on her. oh yeah, and in the books, Tara wasn't even black, her and Sookie are not best best friends(although they are acquaintances), and Lafayette dies instead of the bitch that did the exorcism.

  • Tara was so funny in season 1. I wish she was less whiny and more sassy like she used to be.

  • i don't watch this show but that was BAD ASS....

  • -(angry)Woman: I would like to speak to your manager.

    - Tara: fahne. WAYLON!!!! * woman* cringes

    ...

    Oh this ain't rude this is uppity * slaps*

    That's for pattin' my ass too much! I'm goin' get my baby daddy, who just got out of prison, to come and kick your teef in!

    LMFAO

  • got to luv tara.....lol

  • 1:10 my favorite part. Fine........ WAYLAND!

  • THIS AINT RUDE. THIS IS UPPITY > hahaha. " IM NOT SERIOUS U PATHEIC RACIST.. FUCK THIS JOB"

  • her legs are shiny

  • @anon4th I felt we got that.

  • I've watched the last episode of true blood season 5 and WoW!!! They gotta make axseason 6 that's all I'm gonna say

  • @cletustheredneck Season 5? You mean Season 4. They just wrapped up season 4 Sunday.

  • @anon4th thumbs up if you want Tara back for season 5

  • Maybe Tara will come back as a vamp next season?

  • i hope tara isnt dead :( but she was shot in the head i think so :(

  • @sjmoore1111 Sookie will have Eric or Bill save her. I know it!! They wouldn't kill off Tara, she's too awesome.

  • @TravisTrixta85 i hope she stays in it she was 1 of my fav characters ^_^ she's just 2 kwl 2 b killed off! :)

  • I hope TARA not dead :(

  • i fucking love tara!!! her attitude fits the show and i love this scene!! XD

  • I <3 Her :DD

  • i love love love tara . she is one of my favorites on this show.

  • i love when she says "Oh my God!"

  • This was the high point of her acting on the series. Season 3 was the low point. Thank God she got some acting lessons before season 4 started. I can at least stomach watching her now, without having to skip through scenes.

  • 7 repeatedly for chicken impression.

  • @robertpike10 and 1. seems to be sounding like.' haters.'

  • I love how she's reading an intellectual book like The Shock Doctrine right before she goes into badass bitch mode. 

  • @DavidSSabb it's a smart touch as many othert things in this awesome serie *_*

  • SO glad the role went to this actress and not the one who auditioned prior to her. She rocks.

  • shes very pretty

  • this is the Tara I know and love...thank you thank you thank you Alan Ball for casting Rutina Wesley....She is my favorite...that other girl no offense, just doesn't do it for me....

  • "Shit fuck this job" lol go Rutina

  • Tara is awesome.

  • I love Rutina. She's so good at it that sometimes you can actually see that sometimes she's physically shaking when Tara is upset or pissed off.

  • I was so shocked when she slapped him O.o ahha

  • 3 people are pathetic racists and got their teeth kicked in by her baby daddy who just got out of prison.

  • omg! your racist...i do not have a baby

  • I hate when ppl talk about how Tara needs to die, she's one of the most honest characters on TB.

  • Check out these authors whose books you can read and really enjoy between TB episodes. But watch out, you may end up getting another addiction:

  • Her accent stinks, but her acting is way better.

    I don't know why so many actors fail at Southern accents.

    Jason's is IMPECCABLE though! Good job Mr. Kwanten! Bill's is really good too.

  • she is good :)

  • This Is a better Tara than the other

  • LOL I remember this clip I died laughing

  • i feel sorry for the other actress she totally got owned!!!!

  • I think it is EXTREMELY apparent as to why Ruinta got the job over the other woman. 50 percent has to do with nailing the attitude/acting and the other 50 percent belongs to how she screams WAYLON; that roll she does is just priceless; and I want "WAYLON!" As a ringtone.

  • What I liked about Rutina here was that she actually was into the conversation, the way she said 'You could try home depot" was actually very convincing. The other girl phoned in her scene. She was also apologetic with the woman until the woman became mean to her; then she became TARA The coolest bitch ever.

  • Naomi Klein is awesome.

  • If you look at the two scenes with the different actresses it's hugely different in their performances. Rutina IS Tara. Just the way she is sitting... she is great!

  • pajamagirl123 you do realise this is a tv show.. and you do realise that the actors Jason and Sookie are australian. Bill is english and Eric is Sweedish.. if you cant stand the accent why bother to watch the show? I love this accent its original and awesome and if i sounded like that i'd be proud. To me it's the True Blood accent. <3 Love this show.. <3

  • @gingenicola Actually, Sookie is from New Zealand, but i absolutely agree with you!! I Love True blood!!!! :)

  • @gingenicola anna paquin who plays sookie is actually canadian.

  • @AdzPower no she's not shes New Zelander

  • @lani1709 you know what? We're both right, she was born in canada and lived their for a few years and THEN moved to new zealand.

  • Oh my god, im not serious you pathetic racist! I DONT HAVE A BABY

  • The other bitch sucked Rutina is better even the way she screams weiland LOL Brook I think her name is couldn't play the mean bitch.

  • ''I know you have to be stupid, but do you have to be *that* stupid?''

    LOL

  • yess i love tara!!!! she cracks me up. i also love the way she says "shit". comes out like "shiet" LOL

  • Tara's lesbian scene was HOT

  • I love her! Fuck this job lol

  • That girl certainly has attitude.

  • i looove when she said "this ain't rude,this is uppity *bitch slap!*" XD

  • I like the episode where Sam complains she grunts in her sex and Tara is like ''You tellin me I sound like Sarena Williams?'' LOL

  • This was when I realized that I was going to love this show. :)

  • I miss badass Tara. She is awesome.

  • i just can't. stand. that. ACCENT!!!!!!!! She and Lafayette are cousins living in the same town yet he sounds perfectly Cajun and she sounds like...i don't even know! The second I first heard her speak I knew it was gonna irk me. It sounds so...FORCED! It's funny how the character with the most convincing southern accent is Ryan, and he's Australian! I hope the producers saw the messgae boards and got her a dialect coach or whatever they're called. but it's the 4th season so probably not :(

  • yall buggin on her accent cuz i have a cousin from georgia that talks exactly like tara i mean when i first saw true blood and heard tara and wasnt lookin at the screen i was like cuzzo on tv? lol

  • The other girl was okay but Rutina just makes the scene.

  • Idk where some of you are from but my family is from the south and baby they sound JUST like her!!! LOL

  • To the people that say Rutina does a horrible southern accent, there's people that actually sound like that, and I should know I'm from the South. And I could understand if u don't like the character Tara that's all fine and dandy but why come on a tara video and complain about it . why don't you go on to whatever character you like videos and enjoy those and let the Tara/Rutina fans like myself watch her videos with out having to see this unnecessary comments.

  • @Chellebi06 agreed...im from the south myself.. lived here all my life and live in a small town where everybody knows everybody and this is really how it is.. ppl who are tryna hate on her accent are only doin in because they THINK shes tryin too hard... but shes really not, i went ta highschool with a bunch of rednecks, male or female and some of their accents are REALLY THAT strong.. its ridiculous, even annoyin at times, hell even i know that but true non the less..

  • Really everyone? Can't you hear her terrible southern accent? Its complete shite! I stand by what I said before, and that is Kitana or whatever the hell her name is, sux as the character Tara. Sure she's supposed to be an emotionally unstable, whoring bitch, BUT it should be acted out at a believable level and not in a crap way. The whole 'eggs' and 'maryann' relationship she had in the 2nd season showed what a tool she was. It couldve been portrayed much better. Btw, True Blood eats arse

  • there's a new tara? So Rutina not playing this part anymore?

  • @curvychik23 rutina is still playing the part! there was another girl who auditioned for tara when they were shooting the first season (in this same exact scene) but she did terrible. trust me. so thats why they have rutina as tara, who is wayy better anyway :)

  • @themorrigan69 oh thank gosh,Rutina is like the best person for Tara's part

  • @curvychik23 she is...she was the new tara...there was another girl playing her part, her vid is on youtube...she didnt do a bad job but she literally has nothing on rutina...

  • "I know you have to be stupid. But do you have to be THAT stupid?" So hilarious, loooove Tara :-)

  • @dogbokka im sorry i disagree with that completly i think this girl here i think she is Rutina.....i think she did alot better i think the other girl was trying to hard to play the part of a "badass" chick this one here fits the part better

  • @dogbokka the other one sucked compared to rutina.

  • @dogbokka In my opinion, this Tara is the Tara Trueblood needs. The girl with the drunk mother that jumps from relationship to relationship and job to job and has gotten tired of everything. It's not overacted, it's just plain bitchy, like Tara should be in the beginning. I love how you can hear and see the anger build inside of this Tara.

    But hey! If every thought the same, everything would be boring.

  • "I don't HAVE a baby!"

  • Ugh I try to like this character but she has the worse accent in the show. Ugh. Sounds like a white southerner from Appalchia...and even that's reaching.

  • Tara is one of my favorites on the show

  • I always love Tara's spot on logic XD

  • "Oh my god! I'm not serious, you pathetic racist!" LOL!

  • I love the 'oh' Tara does at 00:19 . "Oh. You poor little idiot."

  • she got sass!!

  • Why do customers always do that whole "I wanna talk to manager/supervisor/etc!"? I came to the conclusion that everyone is partially deaf and want to hear "We don't have/sell that item here" a second time.

  • @oxMelxo I think she wants to talk to him about Tara being so rude...

  • "Super Save-A-Bunch!" lls #IHeartTara :)

  • the two people who disliked this are Waylin and the fat woman.

    Lmao "fine.... WAYLIN!!!!!!" ahahaha

  • She's my cafeteria manager's niece. :)

  • WAYLIN!

  • Love that Tara is reading The Shock Doctrine... never noticed that before!

  • Comment removed

  • i do have a baby hahaha as soon as i saw this tara was one of my favourite characters

  • lol tara is so awesome, she's one of my favorite characters :D

  • HA!!!! LOVE IT

  • She would be the perfect Susannah Dean!

  • OMG I WISH I COULD DO THIS AT WORK

  • tara's one of my favorite characters

  • Why is everyone mad about Tara not being like this anymore. She was kidnapped, tied up, pretty much raped, almost killed multiple times.

    I would be crying all the time too.

    Though I do hope she gets her attitude back in the next season. 

  • "I tried that already, they sent me here."

    "Oooh."

    HAHA

  • "WAYLON!" hahah I love that part. Poor guy.

  • And this would be the definition of BADASS!!!:)

  • big-mouth+Insecured+Bitch= Superawesome Tara. i cant' wait for Season Four to come on back on HBO. :)

  • Love Tara!

  • Tara is that bitch who is actually awesome

  • Why'd they make her character all weak like in the newer episodes!! I loved her here

  • @drewballs000 probably because her character has gone through so much in the past.

  • @drewballs000 it was mainly to show a kinder more vonerable side to her. i mean what can she possible do against maynads, werewolfs and pyschopathic vampires

  • @drewballs000 shes probably all wore down from all that rage and anger lol but I agree. I like the angry Tara xD

  • @drewballs000 Well considering all the shit that has happened in her life, not to mention her being kidnapped and raped repeatedly by a vampire, I would say she has a good reason to be a little less sassy.

  • WAYLAND!!!

  • That make me love her ! She's great ! And the actress is awesome !

  • this tara is wayyyy better than the first actor

  • Tara FTW (:

  • lol LOVE TARA...her and Lafayette got me hooked the first season...they rule!

  • "Super Save-A-Bunch?!" lmao! Tara and Lafayette Keeps Me Rollin'! lmmfao! I die everytime she calls her boss, "WEYLIN'!!!!"

  • fierce... really fierce... hahaha...

    love you tara!

  • 1:38 - Ammagaaaad! (Ah my god) - I love how she says that :D

  • god i hope i get the chance to quit EXACTLY like that

  • lol

    "fine...."

    "WAYLON!!!!!!"

    i love that bit

  • Hahahaha, THIS Tara is so much better :D

  • The first actress wasn't right for the part. She was pretty and Rutina is gorgeous but the first one just didn't seem right. If you have a chance look it up here on Youtube. The first actress did exactly the same scene as shown in this video, just not as good.

  • The first girl who played tara has nothing on Rutina

  • @alekhamen what do you mean the first girl? this is rutina.

  • @stanerz79

    Look up "first actress to play tara in true blood" (here on youtube)

    It'll show you the original person to play tara

  • I miss this Tara. All she does nowadays is cry >.>

  • @LucidDivinity Good Lord, yes. I want Season 1 Tara back.  All Season 2 and 3 Tara knows how to do is look like a kicked puppy and quiver her lip.

  • Why does she remind me of Roger the alien? :p

  • This is the fantasy of anyone who has ever worked in retail.

  • @dyad44 I hear ya!

  • Rutina is fuckin' awesome! I love when she yells, "WEYLON," and scares her boss. Tara is awesome!

  • While Tara is awesome, I still feel a little bad for that woman. It's not her fault for having a pretty bland fashion sense. She is very presumptuous and desperate, but she didn't deserve to be told off over her silly clothing. It's obvious Tara is way more intelligent then her boss and the lady, so I guess they had it coming to them. I'm compassionate...what can I say? lol
