I remember your old commercials from the lawyer days! I'm glad to see you in an honest line of work! After that Fred Tokars business, lawyers looked bad! Love your comedy!!
I was watching Leanne Morgan's comedy videos and this video came up. I clicked on it, thinking that I was watching Leanne Morgan. It took me just a second to realize that you were a different southern lady with blonde hair. New fan here! We are the same age, so your set was so relateable. I was also raised in the south. Sharing this with all of my friends. And your set was clean. My grandkids can watch this. Of course, they won't get the jokes. 🤣
@@realification6827 thank you so much! I’m so glad you found me & thanks for sharing with your friends. Those of us of the same age need to stick together & laugh 🩷
That was the most amazing comedy routine ever!!! Thank you Karen Morgan Comedy! I'm a GenX & it was the best time of my life! We ate out of our parents vegetable garden and washed off "most" of the dirt while we played house outside all day! We were the fittest kids ever! We learned how to make our own fun without technology. We were free but also disciplined and well mannered! We were never told by our parents that "We could do no wrong or We were perfect." It only took a look from our parents to know we were in HUGE trouble and we knew what was coming! Spare the rod, spoil the child was our parents beliefs! But we were Loved unconditionally, praised when needed, taught respect and hugged by our parents a lot! Best years to be a kid! This video was awesome!❤❤❤
I've never related so much to just about an entire comedy routine in my life. It's truly the most I've laughed at routine in ages... like I'm talkin a couple decades. And all without a bunch of filth or foul language. You basically turned the life story of Gen X'ers (especially us women) into comedy gold. It was brilliant!!! Thanks for shareing your gift and making me laugh.
And I came to say the same thing too! I don't think there's any part of that I could not relate to Not just the generation stuff, the parenting the glamor shots, I'm 60 now, a whole lot. I really enjoyed you and I passed on your video to a couple of people because it was so hilarious! And I even subscribed which I hardly ever do. I wish the best for you
The Gen X part is so true. I was born in the 70's, grew up in the 80's and it was glorious. We had sooooooo much freedom and I completely miss it. We were forced to stay outside till the street lights came on and if one of us didn't come back then they were on Unsolved Mysteries. We were the last tough kids in this history of humanity.
Actually, I'm a boomer and her description of living as a kid in those days was exactly like mine. The only difference was that the worst part about being locked out of the house all day was that there was no place to go to the bathroom. Worse being a girl, of course. Then again, to this day, I can hold it forever. None of those old lady peeing issues like all of my peers. Probably the strongest muscle in my body these days. I always loved those licorice records with the dot candy in the middle. They were pretty cool looking and weren't bad to eat either. Would sometimes buy those while picking up Mom's Chesterfields.
oh yikes bud..thats just not true. i was in the military, and back then, they would be called pvssies by todays soldiers.. Just because we were the dumb ones, doesnt make us the toughest.. especially by todays standards. and if there are any weak ones, its our fault for failing them and raising them poorly.. Again, just because we were dumb back then, doesnt make us tough.
Have to admit I got here by mistake.Was looking for more content by another Southern comic by the name of Morgan.My lucky day! I am now doubly blessed with Southern belles to put a smile on the dial.
Yep, we were raised same way as genX. It was wonderful and today it's just sad that kids won't ever really understand how it was to be a kid in the years after WWII.❤
@@denisefarmer366it's so rare to see children outside playing now. I was born in 69', during my childhood it was pretty rare to see an overweight child and we'd never heard of the word depression. Now childhood obesity and depression are an epidemic. It just seems like a form of abuse to me.
How does this not have a zillion likes?! This was a FUN trip down memory lane. I'm a gen x who grew up in Brooklyn, NY and Karen & I had the SAME experiences!!! It's amazing how universal our experiences were. Ahhh, nostalgia feels so satisfying.
I’m Gen X. For Christmas we got bendable Barbies, lawn darts, and pen knives. We’d go to the corner store with 25 cents and get a big bag of candy. In the summer we’d peel sunburned skin off each others backs. And I can still feel all the lumps and bumps on my skull through my hair from where I fell off things or got hit with things. It was a grand childhood.😊
Or the note pinned to your shirt with your parents cigarette order from the general store yep . I remember bendable Barbie’s my brothers having a BB gun they would shoot at their friends with for fun . Oh and I have the glamour shots 😂
I first saw Karen on the dry bar site on RUclips. One of my favourites. A real find. I got fed up with comics who use it to create humour. In real life I swear but not for humour. She is a breath of fresh air. I don't know how many times I have listened to her on dry bar. Treat to have this, from an Irish Londoner. 😅🐈⬛
What a HOOT Karen is !!! I LOVE her! I identified with so much of what she said. I was born in 1950 and was a part of almost all of these generations and the going on of each. Great and terrible times, but so many memories 😂❤!
1st year GenX, sitting her in Athens, Georgia, laughing out loud with tears streaming .😂 Thank you, Karen. I feel like i was just transported back in time. Loved all of it!🎉 You should give a performance at the Athens Classic Center. Please.
Loved your show. Not quite old enough to be your parents age but old enough to remember buying cigarettes AND beer for my Father with just a note. My children grew up in a freedom that is gone for children today unfortunately. The Movie Stand By Me.....that was my childhood....minus the dead body.....junkyard dog and all!
I too am a first GEN X and everything you said was spot on. Great times and sure miss them. We had it the best. We grew up tough, knew how to handle bullies and take care of ourselves
Best comedy ever! Love her soooooo much! Being a Georgian born in 69 I felt and experienced everything she talked about in the end. So accurate, memories. Thank you Karen!
Now this lady knows how to make our lives sound funny but keeping it real and letting people know how happy we were ...I call us the real bad ass kids 😊
Yeah, bad asses without the paddle, cat of 9 tails or switches like the boomers did! I wacked my kids every now and then but we got corrected for ven mild situations. We all still loved the hand that beat us and as adults, even appreciated it!
I can remember and relate to everything. She’s hilarious and dead on. Especially the part about taking back the world. Imagine not being able to read the Declaration of Independence like it’s a Sumerian tablet.
WOW!! This is the 1st time I've ever seen her and she is great!! I'm a baby boomer 1958, but she's describing my childhood. Maybe our kids, gen x's, being raised by us, got to experience some of our childhood. Where did it go so wrong??? I shared to all generations. Loved it😂❤
OMG so funny. I’m a boomer and that is exactly how I raised my Gen X kids. BUT, it is ALSO how my parents raised me. No fears, no anxiety, no caution, no Save the Children. We were all feral creatures. 😂
Awesome show Karen! Your material is great it brought back lots of great memories and the extra touch for me is all your mentioning of Maine as I grew up in Oakland Maine. I have one sister that lives in Skowhegan and another one that lives in Fayette. I'm trying to recall if I've ever heard another comedian talk about Maine… Except for Marshall Dodge. I live in Boulder Colorado now so it's sweet to hear the references!
When the road would ice up, we would put my dad’s cowboy boots on and he would roll the back window of the station wagon down. We would hooky-bob behind that Griswold mobile and we come into the house with ice burn on our faces and arms laughing like crazy. The old man loved it. I wouldn’t trade the way I grew up for anything. We chewed Copenhagen, snuck Budweiser at picnics, smoked cigarettes behind the school. We snorted pixie sticks and fun dip. We played wall ball and had ice ball fights, drank squeez-it, shopped at Kmart, rode in the back of grandpas truck. We shot bottle rockets at each other, got in fist fights, de-pantsed each other, pranked teachers, skipped school, and didn’t give much of a damn about anything. The cops were cool unless you got really stupid. I’m raising a 16 year old and I feel bad when I tell him about my childhood. It was full of innocence and stupidity. Every scar has a great story. We jumped on beds, shot each other with sling shots and pellet guns, rode dirt bikes with no helmets, hunted rabbits and ate them for dinner, caught fish and ate them for dinner, we fell in cactus, licked frozen playground equipment, fell through the ice, started food fights, and we laughed. The world was in the middle of the Cold War but we were isolated from it. We listened to horrible music, dressed worse, we had mullets and the girls had huge bangs! We used hairspray and hair grease. We would leave the house in the morning and come home when the first street light would come on. Sometimes we would go back out and meet the other kids at park and play steal the flag at night. It was fun. The grumpy old men would chase us around, never really intending to catch us, but it was their way of having fun. I think they got joy out of the whole thing. It’s sad to see children today, stuck in social media and being policed by everyone including the police. How did we let this happen?
Thanks so much for your comment, the bit about grumpy old men pretending to chase you and catch you, but was just their way of playing around, brought back Ling-forgotten memories of my late grandfather who would sit in his old, worn beloved armchair and swing his massive paw at us kids whenever we would get near his chair. He had a funny grin on his face and a few chuckles with it, us kids would squeal and enjoy it too, half truly scared of just not knowing WHAT would happen if he ever DID get his paws on us, the other half just knowing he was playing around with us. Blessings to you!!
I love this. I love that you chuckle along with the audience, you’re completely relatable, you have so many fun stories and moments to share. So much fun ❤
My dad was born in the 1920's but died about 10 years back and he was the least quiet person you would ever meet. Although he did have some quirks from the Depression. He did extremely well for himself and taught us financial responsibility. He had a fear of food insecurity and had multiple freezers in the house to store food. Once he was in the hospital, my siblings and I found about 30 chickens that were 6 years old. My dad just wanted to make sure his kids had food. We threw everything out. But when he died it was the same thing. I'm GenX. I was born in '78. I have a twin, a sister 2 yrs older and a brother 4 yrs older. My dad was not the silent generation. He had older kids from hus first marriage but there was a revival in the 70s. My mom was a Boomer. We encompassed all the generations. Oddly enough it was my mom that hated me and without my dad, I don't think I would've survived.
I'm a gen X southern male (great state of Alabama)...9 years old at a Hardee's playground (sand surrounding the slides/jungle gym)...slide probably 10 or so feet off the ground from the top (I had two younger brothers so my dad was there). Question," Think I should jump?"...Dad, "I wouldn't." I did..writhed on ground (did not cry!)....went to the doctor the next day and found I had broken 3 bones in my foot. Good times! PS My Dad was a terrific father...just a funny anecdote.
Very funny because she is nothing but honest. Walking it off builds character. The best Karen ever. My kind of girl. Would love to see more of her shows.
She brought me back to my childhood when she talked about her mom drinking while watching the show "Dark Shadows". My mom loved that show but my didn't drink instead she smoke her Benson and Hedges cigarettes. And I'll be outside playing with my neighbors until the public lights came on, then I had to go inside. Those were the days!!!😢😢😢
As a southern Boomer, I would agree that Karen Morgan got it exactly right! Kids today don’t know what they missed not dropping quarters in the cigarette machine, or chasing the mosquito sprayer truck on their bikes, and hiding in the DDT cloud! I laughed out loud so many times I lost count! Come to Virginia!
Right my Mom smoked in the car, with the widows up. I got such a headache, that’s what I hated about the road trip. I could deal with eating out of a cooler in a rest area. Peeing in a coffee can, good night if you had to stop to pee…..whip that can out. That was real special, not tipping that thing over, only time I ever envied my brother. ROFL 🤣 are you allowed to say that,oh well thanks again.
You should Google the research that has been done on endocrine disrupters and what is happening to the grandchildren of those kids who were in clouds of DDT because you see when DDT lands on your skin and is absorbed into your body…guess what….it stays there forever causing problems in your endocrine system and in the bodies and brains of their GRANDCHILDREN…….it is not pretty and partly wrong with a huge number of young adults today.
Oh, the good old days - we used to play outside till dark. A friend of my sisters had a father who was an appliance salesman and sometimes he'd bring home a giant refrigerator box and we'd take it to the empty field at the end of the street that had a hill on it. We'd take the box to the top of the hill, all climb into it and get it moving so it would roll down the hill. Another thing we'd do in the forest in upstate New York in the summer is we'd take a toboggan to this hill in the pine forest and all sit on it lined up behind each other and then ride it down the slippery pine needles, then take it back to the top and do it again! Talking about candy back then - after I did my chores my father would pay me and I could buy a Hershey's milk chocolate bar and a Yoo-Hoo for less than a quarter! I used to love those little wax bottles - I'd carry the 8-pack around and save 'em for later. Thank you for the reminiscing, Karen; I haven't thought about that in years. I really enjoyed your stories; you GO girl!
Great show! Thanks for taking real life and remembering, hey we’re still here, and we’re never going out of business…..rofl….gosh it was pure fun, she has such great delivery. Thanks again ❤️🤍💙
This woman. Giving a whole new (right) meaning to Karen. I'm an old boy. I grew up when Karens were the most beautiful and kindest of the bunch. This one does not disappoint. Wit beyond. Thanks so much you southern belle. I know the trials of 'adult' children.
@KarenMorgan you are soooo funny. Being in the last year of boomer, I am more of Gen X so I really LOL to those jokes. Was waiting for the the "candy cigarettes" and you delivered!
YES, SPOT ON EVERYTHING... and then Ya think 🤔 the experiences WE had & etc, were EXACTLY the same, regardless of outside factors... That is myth busting 101 @ its best, w/o ever sayin' experiences different based on non~sense...
I am watching this at 2 am in our guest bedroom/office/study and laughing so hard I am worried about waking up grumpy. She needs her sleep so she can pummel me all day.. As Boomers born in 47 and 48 my wife and I raised a couple of those Gen X kids ourselves. We lived in a suburb of Chicago and the winters of 76, 77 and 78 were too much for us all. It took 45 minutes to get three kids into their snow suits only to have them beg to come back in after 5 minutes out in the cold. My wife could never watch her daytime soaps or just catch a breather. So we moved to Southern California in 79 so the kids could play outside all day. That's what we told them. I remember our kids experiencing all of those "mean candies" and the same playground life threatening adventures. One involved handling a "cute" baby rattlesnake. The first week there our 9 year old son came home one evening disheveled with his hair all mussed. My wife asked him "What had happened were you playing football"?. "No, we (he and his new friends) just played a game of Smear The Queer" (apologies for the language). The game consisted of all of the boys piling up on the new kid on the block on the nearest lawn and rolling him around for a while. It was a welcome to the neighborhood ritual. There was always a new kid on the block in Southern California. I really miss all of the fun our kids had as Gen Xers. Thanks for sharing your wonderful stories!
Classic 1970's living. "Don't come home until the street lights come on" or 11 PM the local news would say " do you Know where you kids are "as they signed off. Loved your show laughed my ass off the whole way with tears.
Thank you for sharing the full special, I love your stories. I can relate to them. You are hilarious! 🤭😁 I loved all of it, I can relate to the metal slide, all of the candies, especially the candy cigarettes and jewelry. Just awesome!
I’m a Boomer who had the life of a Gen-X. In the summer, I’d kick off my shoes and go barefoot all summer except at church. My mom smoked while she was pregnant so she would not gain much weight.
@@KarenMorganComedy well this is one VERY rare time, where I appreciated algorithms, usually I will NOT click on suggested vids. (cuz, I do not need or want any thing dictating my behavior, feelings, actions, preference & etc, off similarities of what other's, did/done. I am an INDIVIDUAL, unlike any. Cannot stand google, cookies & data collecting, nosey privacy violating asses... under the guise of making an experience better for the individual, uhhhh NO! do not group Me w/ others based on any thing...🤨🤬 I l👀k up the yrs & names of the gen's & why on google. Then I go to utube to read some comments & this vid is what's on the screen, smh...so it gets a click only cuz it's stand up & LOVE to LAUGH !!! Gen~X, are rare independent ppl. We, like doing things ourselves... anywho, ty for lettin' Me, rant. 🙌
Fantastic. Totally dialed in. I laughed out loud over and over. Thank you for smart, relevant, relatable, female- informed humor, delivered with perfect timing.
The whole buying cigarettes thing is 100% real! I'm older than this gal doing the stand up and I purchased swichers sweets cigars, and these cigars came before chew; came before cigarettes. So when you found non filter cigarettes; you were home. In over 40 years, I actually quit twice. I have now not smoked for 4 something years for my second time. I have gone like this twice. I have made it half way through the 2nd time and I use to long distance run for fun. I'm 65 now, and I can trot for a block; for pure f**king hell. Any kids here? Don't cave for peer preasure, and go running , but drive away from the cities to do it! Just cause you can't see it does not mean it's not there. Global warming? PISS TOSH. That's so the rich can get richer. DON'T put money into their pockets and help them!
This is great. 😊 ❤ Not a comedian but I tell jokes like this in regular life. Just the good stuff the real stuff and the wonderful stuff. Nailed it all. ❤ 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Karen, As a Southern girl, mother, and someone of the same age, I find your routine hilarious! I also have a Gen-Z kid and deal with the exact same four deficiencies. How would they (and anyone at this point) function without the internet? In my opinion, self-reliance is the most important skill we can instill in our children. I relate to your Gen-X comments. We had our own wild adventures! One of my favorites was tying a long rope to the back of our bicycles and pulling a friend on a skateboard (the kind with metal wheels). Helmets? No one even knew what those were! We’d race down the steepest streets in town, the goal being for the skateboarder to hang on. Another favorite memory was playing with shipping boxes. The minister’s house next door and his boy, (always up to no good), thought it was great fun make a giant slide out of cardboard, and ride down the hill on a box with the crescendo being launched off their 6-foot stone wall into the yard below. I do remember someone braking their arm though when they did not land the jump right. The metal slide, you left out was not only a roasting pan in the summer, but ours was at least a 15 foot ladder climb first. I believe we’re not doing today's kids any favors by raising them in bubble wrap. I live in a small town in the South, and my neighbor won't let their 11-year-old children walk four houses down to their grandparents or even fix themselves a snack after school. Kids need more unsupervised and unmanaged time (not with the internet - which they need much less time) and the opportunities to develop more self-reliance. Again, great routine and yes, We (Gen-X) will never go out of business! Angela --- Would you like any further adjustments?
Found your channel from a Gotham Comedy YT video w/ Dom Irrera. I think it's amazing when a comedian can be funny and (mostly) clean at the same time! Can't wait for your next special!
I am a Gen X from the Philippines. I just happen to see your reel on facebook and searched you on RUclips. Not a single curse word but so real..true and funny as hell. Our generation was the best. I’m gonna share this video with my Gen X friends! 😂😂😂😂
im gen X born in 1975,and i grew up on the 80's and was amazing, we have so much freedom ,so much fun, every day always diferent............my first bike i was 5 y and she(bike) was bigger them me, you think i care ,no,.... i felt on the floor i get up ,and continue playing............omg so many stories, so many good memories....
For all you younger folks... the sad and funny about all this is that it is true!! I had the best childhood I could ever hope for. Thanks for bringing back all the memories... love you... Russ

Yeah, bad asses without the paddle, cat of 9 tails or switches like the boomers did! I wacked my kids every now and then but we got corrected for ven mild situations. We all still loved the hand that beat us and as adults, even appreciated it!
So many funny childhood memories! What a great show! Ty!
Thanks so much Heather!
I can remember and relate to everything. She’s hilarious and dead on. Especially the part about taking back the world. Imagine not being able to read the Declaration of Independence like it’s a Sumerian tablet.
Thank you!
I haven't laughed this much in a long time! Thank you!!!
I’m so glad! Thank you!
WOW!! This is the 1st time I've ever seen her and she is great!! I'm a baby boomer 1958, but she's describing my childhood. Maybe our kids, gen x's, being raised by us, got to experience some of our childhood. Where did it go so wrong??? I shared to all generations. Loved it😂❤
thanks Bonnie!
Thank you for that walk down memory lane. I enjoyed this entire 1-hour clip. Thank you.
Loved this! I am Gen X, and you are spot on. It was a great time to grow up, for most of us!
OMG so funny. I’m a boomer and that is exactly how I raised my Gen X kids. BUT, it is ALSO how my parents raised me. No fears, no anxiety, no caution, no Save the Children. We were all feral creatures. 😂
Boomer here, and you're right...we were raised the same.😎👍
Feral creatures ! LOL ! It’s funny cuz it’s true 😂
OMG, this was so hilarious. As a fellow Gen X, you were so on point with all your observations; absolutely hilarious, thank you!! 😂
Yay, thank you!
Awesome show Karen! Your material is great it brought back lots of great memories and the extra touch for me is all your mentioning of Maine as I grew up in Oakland Maine. I have one sister that lives in Skowhegan and another one that lives in Fayette. I'm trying to recall if I've ever heard another comedian talk about Maine… Except for Marshall Dodge. I live in Boulder Colorado now so it's sweet to hear the references!
Thanks so much Michael!
Pajamas and alcohol. Living in America. Don't touch my Oreos.
Hahaha great comment 😅😅😅
When the road would ice up, we would put my dad’s cowboy boots on and he would roll the back window of the station wagon down. We would hooky-bob behind that Griswold mobile and we come into the house with ice burn on our faces and arms laughing like crazy. The old man loved it. I wouldn’t trade the way I grew up for anything. We chewed Copenhagen, snuck Budweiser at picnics, smoked cigarettes behind the school. We snorted pixie sticks and fun dip. We played wall ball and had ice ball fights, drank squeez-it, shopped at Kmart, rode in the back of grandpas truck. We shot bottle rockets at each other, got in fist fights, de-pantsed each other, pranked teachers, skipped school, and didn’t give much of a damn about anything. The cops were cool unless you got really stupid. I’m raising a 16 year old and I feel bad when I tell him about my childhood. It was full of innocence and stupidity. Every scar has a great story. We jumped on beds, shot each other with sling shots and pellet guns, rode dirt bikes with no helmets, hunted rabbits and ate them for dinner, caught fish and ate them for dinner, we fell in cactus, licked frozen playground equipment, fell through the ice, started food fights, and we laughed. The world was in the middle of the Cold War but we were isolated from it. We listened to horrible music, dressed worse, we had mullets and the girls had huge bangs! We used hairspray and hair grease. We would leave the house in the morning and come home when the first street light would come on. Sometimes we would go back out and meet the other kids at park and play steal the flag at night. It was fun. The grumpy old men would chase us around, never really intending to catch us, but it was their way of having fun. I think they got joy out of the whole thing. It’s sad to see children today, stuck in social media and being policed by everyone including the police. How did we let this happen?
I love all of these! Yes we were so lucky to grow up then. Thanks for your whole list! 🚀
Thanks so much for your comment, the bit about grumpy old men pretending to chase you and catch you, but was just their way of playing around, brought back Ling-forgotten memories of my late grandfather who would sit in his old, worn beloved armchair and swing his massive paw at us kids whenever we would get near his chair. He had a funny grin on his face and a few chuckles with it, us kids would squeal and enjoy it too, half truly scared of just not knowing WHAT would happen if he ever DID get his paws on us, the other half just knowing he was playing around with us. Blessings to you!!
So so accurate and definitely hilarious!! Loved this special! ❤️
Thanks so much!!
Born in the 60’s in New York but really consider the 70’s my years, and this GenX applies to us completely here.
Awesome 👍
We also froze our tongues on the swing set pipes during the winter, licking frost.
🤣
Your albums on Apple Music are some of my favorites! This was even more of a delight. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
Omg! Spot on with GenX and the funniest I’ve ever heard. All true!!
Thanks!
There should be a million likes. That was awesome!!!!
Thanks Jackie! 💟
😂🤣🤣 LOL If you only knew how hard it is to get me to laugh out loud! Can't say enough how much I love your comedy!! Right on par! ❤🎉
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this. I love that you chuckle along with the audience, you’re completely relatable, you have so many fun stories and moments to share. So much fun ❤
Thank you so much!!
My dad was born in the 1920's but died about 10 years back and he was the least quiet person you would ever meet. Although he did have some quirks from the Depression. He did extremely well for himself and taught us financial responsibility. He had a fear of food insecurity and had multiple freezers in the house to store food. Once he was in the hospital, my siblings and I found about 30 chickens that were 6 years old. My dad just wanted to make sure his kids had food. We threw everything out. But when he died it was the same thing.
I'm GenX. I was born in '78. I have a twin, a sister 2 yrs older and a brother 4 yrs older. My dad was not the silent generation. He had older kids from hus first marriage but there was a revival in the 70s. My mom was a Boomer. We encompassed all the generations. Oddly enough it was my mom that hated me and without my dad, I don't think I would've survived.
I'm a gen X southern male (great state of Alabama)...9 years old at a Hardee's playground (sand surrounding the slides/jungle gym)...slide probably 10 or so feet off the ground from the top (I had two younger brothers so my dad was there). Question," Think I should jump?"...Dad, "I wouldn't." I did..writhed on ground (did not cry!)....went to the doctor the next day and found I had broken 3 bones in my foot. Good times! PS My Dad was a terrific father...just a funny anecdote.
Very funny because she is nothing but honest. Walking it off builds character. The best Karen ever. My kind of girl. Would love to see more of her shows.
Thanks Gary!
No comedy performer has nailed my childhood so precisely. That’s a real treasure.
thanks! we were so lucky to grow up when we did :)
So great❤❤❤ A natural comedian. Thanks for this. I couldn't find my comment to add this to.
Thank you 🥰
She brought me back to my childhood when she talked about her mom drinking while watching the show "Dark Shadows". My mom loved that show but my didn't drink instead she smoke her Benson and Hedges cigarettes. And I'll be outside playing with my neighbors until the public lights came on, then I had to go inside. Those were the days!!!😢😢😢
As a southern Boomer, I would agree that Karen Morgan got it exactly right! Kids today don’t know what they missed not dropping quarters in the cigarette machine, or chasing the mosquito sprayer truck on their bikes, and hiding in the DDT cloud! I laughed out loud so many times I lost count! Come to Virginia!
Thanks so much Jay! I have some Virginia shows in Feb I think 😁
@@KarenMorganComedy That’s excellent! I’ll keep an eye out for you! Probably the glass one.
Right my Mom smoked in the car, with the widows up. I got such a headache, that’s what I hated about the road trip. I could deal with eating out of a cooler in a rest area. Peeing in a coffee can, good night if you had to stop to pee…..whip that can out. That was real special, not tipping that thing over, only time I ever envied my brother. ROFL 🤣 are you allowed to say that,oh well thanks again.
You should Google the research that has been done on endocrine disrupters and what is happening to the grandchildren of those kids who were in clouds of DDT because you see when DDT lands on your skin and is absorbed into your body…guess what….it stays there forever causing problems in your endocrine system and in the bodies and brains of their GRANDCHILDREN…….it is not pretty and partly wrong with a huge number of young adults today.
And that would be the research of Dr. Theo Colborn.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SOUTHERN COMIC. AND HERE'S A NEW ONE. 😁😁😁
Thanks James!!
You are so funny, eyes tearing up laugh out loud funny! Thank you for sharing.
😍
Oh, the good old days - we used to play outside till dark. A friend of my sisters had a father who was an appliance salesman and sometimes he'd bring home a giant refrigerator box and we'd take it to the empty field at the end of the street that had a hill on it. We'd take the box to the top of the hill, all climb into it and get it moving so it would roll down the hill. Another thing we'd do in the forest in upstate New York in the summer is we'd take a toboggan to this hill in the pine forest and all sit on it lined up behind each other and then ride it down the slippery pine needles, then take it back to the top and do it again! Talking about candy back then - after I did my chores my father would pay me and I could buy a Hershey's milk chocolate bar and a Yoo-Hoo for less than a quarter! I used to love those little wax bottles - I'd carry the 8-pack around and save 'em for later. Thank you for the reminiscing, Karen; I haven't thought about that in years. I really enjoyed your stories; you GO girl!
Love this! Thanks for sharing your memories!
Absolutely hilarious special. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching! 💟
Lol...that giant metal slide memory was literally burned into the back of my legs when I decided to wear shorts that summer. Good gravy it was hot!!
I’m a tail end boomer (born 61) so able to completely relate to all the things. Karen is now on my favorite comedian list.
Great show! Thanks for taking real life and remembering, hey we’re still here, and we’re never going out of business…..rofl….gosh it was pure fun, she has such great delivery. Thanks again ❤️🤍💙
Rock on! 💟
This woman. Giving a whole new (right) meaning to Karen. I'm an old boy. I grew up when Karens were the most beautiful and kindest of the bunch. This one does not disappoint. Wit beyond. Thanks so much you southern belle. I know the trials of 'adult' children.
@KarenMorgan you are soooo funny. Being in the last year of boomer, I am more of Gen X so I really LOL to those jokes. Was waiting for the the "candy cigarettes" and you delivered!
YES, SPOT ON EVERYTHING... and then Ya think 🤔 the experiences WE had & etc, were EXACTLY the same, regardless of outside factors...
That is myth busting 101 @ its best, w/o ever sayin' experiences different based on non~sense...
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
I am watching this at 2 am in our guest bedroom/office/study and laughing so hard I am worried about waking up grumpy. She needs her sleep so she can pummel me all day..
As Boomers born in 47 and 48 my wife and I raised a couple of those Gen X kids ourselves. We lived in a suburb of Chicago and the winters of 76, 77 and 78 were too much for us all. It took 45 minutes to get three kids into their snow suits only to have them beg to come back in after 5 minutes out in the cold. My wife could never watch her daytime soaps or just catch a breather. So we moved to Southern California in 79 so the kids could play outside all day. That's what we told them. I remember our kids experiencing all of those "mean candies" and the same playground life threatening adventures. One involved handling a "cute" baby rattlesnake. The first week there our 9 year old son came home one evening disheveled with his hair all mussed. My wife asked him "What had happened were you playing football"?. "No, we (he and his new friends) just played a game of Smear The Queer" (apologies for the language). The game consisted of all of the boys piling up on the new kid on the block on the nearest lawn and rolling him around for a while. It was a welcome to the neighborhood ritual. There was always a new kid on the block in Southern California. I really miss all of the fun our kids had as Gen Xers.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful stories!
Thanks for sharing yours as well! We were so lucky. Glad you enjoyed it! 🎇
You absolutely nailed my whole childhood! Thank you so much Ms.Morgan, I haven't laughed this hard in ages!
I'm so glad! Thanks!
love this woman , she is a riot ,
Thank you!
Classic 1970's living. "Don't come home until the street lights come on" or 11 PM the local news would say " do you Know where you kids are "as they signed off. Loved your show laughed my ass off the whole way with tears.
Thank you for sharing the full special, I love your stories. I can relate to them. You are hilarious! 🤭😁
I loved all of it, I can relate to the metal slide, all of the candies, especially the candy cigarettes and jewelry. Just awesome!
Thanks so much Amber! Much appreciated!
😍
Oh my gosh! She nailed it on GenX! We are not going away!
😊
What a gem 💎. Loved it...more please 🙏
Thanks very much Diane!
Here for the party 🎉.
That's a great time you gave us thank you .
Cheers 🎉❤
Thanks so much! Cheers🍺
@@KarenMorganComedy cheers
I’m a Boomer who had the life of a Gen-X. In the summer, I’d kick off my shoes and go barefoot all summer except at church. My mom smoked while she was pregnant so she would not gain much weight.
Me too. I was born in 1962, so while technically a boomer, raised like an X'er.
Born in 58...I think Gen X inherited the boomer stuff....everything she said - we had - brought back a lot of memories...@@danfischer518
Me to mom smoked and drank Coca-Cola and was 7 months pregnant before she showed 1963 I paid the price for all this.
Oh and no vitamins she didn't like them.
I was hurting for the last 10 minutes or so. GenX'er here and the truth hit me hard. Wonderful show.
This woman described my life. I am generation X. Thank you
She is CLASSY & RELATABLE w/ her comedy.

Fantastic. Totally dialed in. I laughed out loud over and over. Thank you for smart, relevant, relatable, female- informed humor, delivered with perfect timing.
Thanks so much! 😍😍
The whole buying cigarettes thing is 100% real! I'm older than this gal doing the stand up and I purchased swichers sweets cigars, and these cigars came before chew; came before cigarettes. So when you found non filter cigarettes; you were home. In over 40 years, I actually quit twice. I have now not smoked for 4 something years for my second time. I have gone like this twice. I have made it half way through the 2nd time and I use to long distance run for fun. I'm 65 now, and I can trot for a block; for pure f**king hell. Any kids here? Don't cave for peer preasure, and go running , but drive away from the cities to do it! Just cause you can't see it does not mean it's not there. Global warming? PISS TOSH. That's so the rich can get richer. DON'T put money into their pockets and help them!
So funny and you really brought me back to my childhood! Your awesome and so funny!
Thanks John!
First time I have ever seen your comedy act and I think you are freaking great !!! BRAVO 👋👋👋👋👋😎
Wow, thank you!
This is great. 😊 ❤ Not a comedian but I tell jokes like this in regular life. Just the good stuff the real stuff and the wonderful stuff. Nailed it all. ❤ 😂😂😂😂😂
So funny and so relatable.
thanks Rhonda!
Hi Karen,
As a Southern girl, mother, and someone of the same age, I find your routine hilarious! I also have a Gen-Z kid and deal with the exact same four deficiencies. How would they (and anyone at this point) function without the internet? In my opinion, self-reliance is the most important skill we can instill in our children.
I relate to your Gen-X comments. We had our own wild adventures! One of my favorites was tying a long rope to the back of our bicycles and pulling a friend on a skateboard (the kind with metal wheels). Helmets? No one even knew what those were! We’d race down the steepest streets in town, the goal being for the skateboarder to hang on.
Another favorite memory was playing with shipping boxes. The minister’s house next door and his boy, (always up to no good), thought it was great fun make a giant slide out of cardboard, and ride down the hill on a box with the crescendo being launched off their 6-foot stone wall into the yard below. I do remember someone braking their arm though when they did not land the jump right.
The metal slide, you left out was not only a roasting pan in the summer, but ours was at least a 15 foot ladder climb first.
I believe we’re not doing today's kids any favors by raising them in bubble wrap. I live in a small town in the South, and my neighbor won't let their 11-year-old children walk four houses down to their grandparents or even fix themselves a snack after school. Kids need more unsupervised and unmanaged time (not with the internet - which they need much less time) and the opportunities to develop more self-reliance.
Again, great routine and yes, We (Gen-X) will never go out of business!
Angela

Would you like any further adjustments?
Thanks so much Angela! I appreciate it. We made a fort out of a refrigerator box...thanks for the memory!
Love it. Just....well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
Found your channel from a Gotham Comedy YT video w/ Dom Irrera. I think it's amazing when a comedian can be funny and (mostly) clean at the same time! Can't wait for your next special!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you found me. That was a while back. Thanks for letting me know. Cheers!
I love Karen's stories. Very funny.
OMG Karen is fantastic ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you! 💟
