Let's be hacky female stand up comics from the 1980s

I'm Paula Poundstone

Im dinner at the sizzler!

Don’t get me started.

I’m the bolo tie and baggy men’s blazer with sleeves folded up just past the wrists.

Don’t forget the tie r4

I’m the mullet!

I'm the audience, chain smoking.

I saw Paula Poundstone perform once. I thought she was funny. Went up to her afterwards to say thanks and congratulations. She looked at me like I had lost my mind to even consider speaking to her. She cunted and lost.

I'm an extremely obvious lesbian but half my act is centered around my "boyfriend."

I'm Elayne Boosler and I'm still alive.

People paid for this?

I am Too Much Information about female anatomy and bodily functions.

I'm on my period!

I like lady standup comics anyway. But I love everything about this period in the genre. It's such a time capsule! The talents, the humor, the clothes, the jewelery, the hair, the makeup, the lesbianism (whether the comics were, or not...so many channeled the look anyway), and ubiquitous faux brick backdrop.

I usually watch these old clips on weekends, late at night, with some kind of snack. Just like I did as a kid.

I'm "so, what gives with mobile phones? You can call your boyfriend while sat on the can"

I’m the ubiquitous jokes about food and dieting.

I'm the audience's gasp of shock when the word 'dick' is mentioned.

I'm the jokes about my mother wanting me to date a nice Jewish boy.

I'm Judy Tenuta. LOVE GODDESS with an accordian. Bow before me, PIGS!

I'm the shoulder pads, palazzo pants and other very dated fashion.

I'm Cathy, Ack!

R19, yes! But, it’s “Love Pigs!” 🐖

Oh, wacky female [i]stand up[/I] comics - never mind.

I'm the big break!

I'm "dating, amirite, ladies?" (huge sigh)

I'm the rumour that Sandra Bernhard is in the audience tonight!

I'm Rita Rudner, dancer turned funnygal.

I’m the stale joke about the bedraggled “walk-of-shame” after a one night stand.

I’m the wooden barstool

I’m the brightly colored “wacky” sneakers

Actually R22, it's "Love hogs" according to her 1991 special "Worship Me, Pigs."

I'm the inevitable brick wall used as a backdrop.

Judy Gold

I’m Victoria Jackson

I'm Roseanne Barr

I’m the guitar, ukulele, or accordion.

I’m a Playboy cable tv special. Girls Of The Comedy Store. 1985. Of course Shirley Hemphill is included!

I'm indoor smoke, remember me elders?

I permeated ALL surfaces and a sticky and dusty film like a melted photo negatives strip.

Admit it, you miss me whores.

I'm not funny.

I'm Rosie, back when she had edge.

I'm a network exec in the audience. Middle America will love this shit!

Waaaaiiit.....Jenny Jones the talk show host did stand up?

I'm the two standard toilet jokes about men pissing everywhere and/or falling into the toilet because they left the seat up.

I am Rita Rudner and my Vegas a t has earned over $100 million since the 80s.

I'm the perm, and the bangs.

I’m HBO’a Women of the Night comedy special featuring four female stand-ups but hosted by Martin Short

I'm Judy Tenuda.

[quote]I'm Judy Tenuda.

And I'm Judy Tenuta.

Did aaaaeeessssmaster start in the 80s?

It could happen!

I did like Ellen’s stand-up which was observational and sometimes surreal. . It was a nice change from the “diets and boyfriends” comedians.

Too bad Ellen was revealed as … Ellen.

I've been doing stand up for 25 years and I'm better than any of these bitches.

What about the men? Remember that guy with the sledge hammer?

Gallagher!

So far, every single woman comedian mentioned here pings as lesbian to me.

I believe it’s true—many female comedians tend to be lesbians.
