[SebastienCade]

LOL "Alert citizen alerts many".

[Asmith844]

paula poundstone is a rapist, just putting that out there

[poetaviolinista]

@Asmith844 lolwut? She's asexual...

[UppruniTegundanna]

I bet people from the VHS era find the way the image is sucked over to the right at the top strangely nostalgic.

[MrOoppoddoo]

Thank you for posting! 

[darkfey1963]

"I'm thinkin about it"-I love it.I recorded this on VHS a long time ago,and time has taken its toll,so I'm glad I found this.Thanks for posting it!

[Agju]

This has to be one of my favorite stand-up specials of all time because it is just incredibly amusing. Getting off topic a bit though, looking at this again makes me wonder what happened to her. Not where she is or what she's doing, but physically as she has not aged well. Here she's beautiful, but later on she's just blah. Maybe it has to do with her asexuality and not wanting to please anyone sexually?

[LunarSorceress]

@Agju I'm pretty sure it's the hair and the way she does her makeup now. Paula was made for the 80s. Now she looks like a business woman and it just isn't working.

[RustyHeartsWiki]

@Agju She was born in '59

[Agju]

@RustyHeartsWiki Ok. What does that have to do with my comment?

[RustyHeartsWiki]

@Agju Nobody born in '59 looks good.

[Agju]

@RustyHeartsWiki lol. Fair Enough. :p

[GoTacoHD]

Is she retarded?

[calicocash]

Now that's pretty ancient history, isn't it? Paula doesn't deserve that.

[200Johnnyboy]

Paula Poundstone's is funny as hell.

[thoreaulycrafted]

I can't find this anywhere on dvd! you said you found it on ebay?

[jupitermoon10011]

She's so NOT funny....in her corny Mom jeans...

[napkinshower]

@jupitermoon10011 lol those were the 80's man. btw. you look dumb commenting on one of her videos saying shes not funny. makes you look like you went out of your way to come all the way over here just to say something unnecessary to make yourself feel better instead of just moving on.

[ihavegarbageopinions]

hahaha pedophile lol jk

[sailorpfat]

@ihavegarbageopinions hahaha you're an idiot except I'm not kidding.

[ihavegarbageopinions]

@sailorpfat

hahahah she touched little girls!

i like teenage girls too but ya don't see me adopting and molesting any!

[Snapepet]

@ihavegarbageopinions You like teenaged girls, you pig? I wish I could call 911, just on your mere existance.

[ihavegarbageopinions]

@Snapepet 3 things,

First 16 year olds are totally legit here (sucks to be you lol).

Also, it could be worse....I could call myself asexual, then adopt some kids and molest a girl under the age of 14 like our pal Mr. P.

Finally you need to learn how to read sarcasm.

Have fun banging 40 year olds and reading Harry Potter.

[MaeNotEast]

@ihavegarbageopinions = proof that scandal sells. The child molestation charge was never proven. Poundstone plead no contest to child endangerment because she had been dui with the kids in the car. She did rehab immediately.

The child who made the accusation was a hard to place foster child with whom Paula had entered therapy in order to help the child deal with issues and to improve their rocky relationship. Even seasoned social workers doubted the accusation.

[socalkevinz]

nope, not funny...

[1975Spanky]

Paula is awesome.

[blessOTMA]

The only other comic who can make me laugh over and over at the very same footage is Pryor...Paula, you are amazing.

[iCoffees]

lolwut?

[trishalovesfy]

She is brilliant and hilarious. I love her!

[Defensewhiz]

The absolute bar none best Poundstone performance...The cop stickin his big ol cop head in the window....Ma'am do you know how fast you were...TOUCH! *grin*

[Exzeluke]

THANK YOU for uploading this - my favorite ever Paula Poundstone performance. I think I've watched it at least 10 times, and I still crack up every time. :-D

[Triad3Force]

that was kinda like the cosby show intro. I love Paula she is so amazing and talented and funny.

[Robocheeseball701]

This is my favorite of her stand-up specials.

[doda]

"Aware Citizen Alerts Many", by far my favorite line. She is hilarious.

[laurieheartsdcx]

"Like everyone else just FORGOT to move."

[amysita77]

Does she remind anyone else of Idgie from Fried Green Tomatoes?

[SorrowfulLesson]

I was just thinking that! =)

[Gulfporter]

@amysita77

Some times. Other times she has a sort of Katherine Hepburn thing, and then a touch of Lucy now and then.

[amlivingggg3]

yes. haha. towanda!

[c30hannah]

Absolutely brilliant. She's lovely!

[MuscleBound46]

She's a genius at this stuff. I'd married her in a New York huff.

[angrypizzagirl]

The car window bit was hilarious. "She's wacking her own head, there's no telling what she'll do to us."

[zmrj3000]

she's SO cute .. and hilarious

[tiarabaranes]

wow like shes funny....i like her!!!

[JRodFilms]

call the cops see if i care...ill tell em i was thinkin of something else

[imjunipernow]

Anybody able to download the 80s-90s VH-1 comedy shows with Rose O'Donnell as host?

[icymanlovr]

"I slipped into the back seat and simply made suggestions" lol

[Snapepet]

Why...oh WHY...can't I be this funny? She's a genius.

[cecinid]

Paula is an absolute genius at working the crowd, she thinks on her feet and makes it funny like no other...the bit with her psychiatrist doing the crossword puzzle, the cats and the shower (or on the curtains..."Look how HIGH I am!") are absolute gold...

[MrRT1966]

She is indeed a great comedianne!!

[TheGirlYouDoNotKnow]

opening = welcome to the early 90's world!

[vmflamingo]

This is definitely one of the best comedy routines ever. Thanks so much for posting.

[darkprose]

Yes, love Paula, love her voice, and love her YouTube page, too. Can't get enough of her, and her improv with the audience is superb. Thank you for posting!

[harshroger]

one of the best comedy routine ever crafted, ive seen this special too many times already... i don't even have to watch it, i remember everything! Well.... one more time wouldn't kill me! ^_^

[ohmyheck7]

[craffte]

oh. my. god. of all the memories from my younger days, this vid brings me back, thanx!!

[vivalaleta]

Prime Paula. Saw a lot of weak stuff of hers here and thought I had misremembered how funny she was. I hadn't.

[bluebirdsin]

Greatest stand up routine ever.

[PaintedOddity82]

I love Paula.

[millsjes]

Thanks for posting this! I loved this when I was younger and remember almost all of it line for line :)

[musicguy225]

I've just gotten into her comedy this past year, I wish this came out on VHS (well DVD these days)

[insanegogogirl]

VHS would even be good enough.

[PaisanGirl92]

Thank you! :)

[ijustlovetea]

You are jesus! I've been dying to see this special again!
