  • this is so inspirational. The whole audience-involved-improvised segment simply started from her saying to an audience member "sir I just noticed that your tie is...." It could've gone in any direction. This is the pinnicle for me. This is what i want to do more than anything else in stand-up

  • What's a lube rack?

  • Comment removed

  • Alright, someone help me out here... where can I find that Snickers commercial she mentions? I know it exists, I've seen it before, I've just forgotten the name of it, but so far searching for "snickers" + "horse" + "commercial" hasn't gotten me very far, lol. Anyone?

  • "Someone wrote this down" - Sehr witzig!

  • awesome

  • lol. So funny. She is great. Also good on wait wait don't tell me. (this is one of my favorites, thanks for posting) 

  • At times Paula has the same cadence as Jerry Seinfeld. I never got him, but I love her.

  • POKIN' AT YA. POKIN' AT YA. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE GIRL, PAULA.

    REALLY. STILL APPRECIATE YOU! I WISH YOU WELL ALWAYS!

  • I keep listening for whatever it was that caught Paula's attention when she's talking to the law firm guy and goes "I'll handle this ma'am." Unless it's the bit of isolated laughter you hear before she says it, I can't hear anything that would make her zero in on that specific woman.

  • lol @ 2:50 what're you drinking... DIET COKE. of course u are, paula.

  • This woman...she's a pure genious. She isn't crude and she's got a fun voice ot listen to. I can't stop laughing. XD

  • Smart, funny woman. At her best when she inprovises with the audience. Does not get the recognition she deserves. Admire her for forging ahead after her problems.

  • mam bum everybody out lol

  • gross

  • i've been looking for this forever... she's so freakin' great. i remember the snickers commercial too lol. and that Maxim is so screwed up. i LOVE Judy Tanuta... my little love puppets, u may have me but u may no po-sess meee *accordian solo* lol

  • What a wonderful ability Paula has to make people laugh. It is a real art form to see the little twists in words to provoke smiles...

  • "She tore her face open on a lube rack-"

    "AAAAAAH!!!!"

  • god i love her!!!!

  • that was kinda mean, but the lady took it well. Paula is funny

  • her improv is amazing!

  • Lube Rack is one of the classic, all time funniest bits of comedy ever. Her interaction with the audience is always the best part of the show.

  • @themonaghans ............. she is such a great improvisational comedianne. joan rivers used to play with her audiences as well. she would taunt certain people until they simply left the show!

    love paula!!!!!!!

  • it exists but it doesnt really go 'long about noon..' - she says 'stomach is growling, you know..pokin at ya'

  • yeah that's where i found it.

  • Did that Snickers commercial really exist, or did she just make it up?

  • It really did exist lol

  • Can it be found anywhere?

  • I tried looking for it, but came up with nothing. :(

  • I've seen this Snickers commercial. Once, and right here on YT. I'm pretty sure it's one of those videos that feature a series of commercials from the early '80s, maybe '83 or so. When I stumbled onto it a few months back, I couldn't believe it; I've seen this standup special numerous times over the past 18 or so years and never thought I'd get a chance to see this actual Snickers commercial. But it's around here somewhere.

  • it existed but I keep trying to find it!

  • Yes it did - that's why the audience burst out laughing when she first mentioned it. I remember it - there weren't many channels or commercials back then.

  • Can't post a link, but it's real. Look on Retro Junk for "Snickers (Woman In A Horse Stable)".

  • @Dashing24 I tried it out, and got nothing...are you sure that's what to type in? 

  • @LOTF Try just tacking on details_commercial/10446/ Or Google "Snickers (Woman In A Horse Stable)". Either way, I think you'll find it.

  • One of the cleanest, most perfect stand up routine ever.
