Weed really does bring people together, I remember once at a party me(white guy), a Kenyan, a Philipino dude and Sioux guy were passing a doob and at some point we all just looked at each other and started laughing.
You are punished for it in the cities because black people live there. When you get around places where there are mostly or only whites, that's when they feel differently about it, as well as other crimes. This is a country of hypocritical racists.
as a midwest black person, we had a bonfire at party/reunion thing with my dad and my uncles on his side(aka his friends cause be an only child) and that shit was HUGE. went on a hay ride and we could see the flames from the top of the trees. i also almost flipped over a four wheeler that night lol
Haha did this last year. I took piano lessons for 17 years, but never really mention it as an adult because I feel like I've gotten rusty (and also, who cares?). Anyways recently I met up with some friends for a wedding and they were all drinking and playing random stuff on the piano there, eventually they said it was my turn to play something. Realizing I had been perfectly set up to mess with them, I decided to play Fantaisie Impromptu by Chopin...the look on their faces was priceless 😂
@@ForceOfWill100 I am also rusty as a piano player, and I will improve again and get my confidence back. That is why I do not show off and get nervous.
ROFL.... same issue on all sides. I had a black couple approach me and my husband. They live 2 houses from us. The woman asked me if I could - and I am serious here - come over to her house and give her decorating tips about her kitchen. I am NOT lying. My husband looked at me and started laughing. I could not believe it and went over to her house. I did not comment on how dark her rooms were or how it was not really decorated well - nope. My gay ass went into her kitchen and talked to her about lighting, counter top choices and kitchen cabinet colors and storage. I kind you not. It was hysterical. I said - Gurl... you really need a makeover here. Sure enough - they had Lowe's come over a month later and redo their entire kitchen.
I just want to emphasize that there really are so many different sub-types of white people. White people who put raisins in their potato salad are on a whole different level than white people who make spaghetti sandwiches with Ragu.
I lived in Rockport MA, a tiny beautiful coastal town next to Gloucester. The fire department put on, or at least did not prevent, a bon fire every summer for the 4th. My first one, I was in disbelief that building huge fires could still be a thing and appalled that the fire department approved it. Apparently, one year they burned an effigy of Santa. Kids were crying. Good times.
Ayyy I spend the 4th in rockport at my family’s house and my cousins and I always went to that every year! One year when I was like 8 some guy was running from the police but tripped over me, now I feel bad that he got caught cus of me but back then I thought I was a Bad ass
Imagine a white comic doing a bit about the different kinds of black people and insisting their black friend only sings Barry Manilow songs to her because she is white. It's starting to sound pretty condescending. But then again, she has a right to her free speech, and I have a right to think it is not funny.😉🤗😘
So I am a white dude stoner from the 1970’s. Let me tell you, weed is a unifying force of the ages. When I was growing up there was pretty much a standard understanding, the black dudes always have the best weed. It was just a given.
There is this thing called comedy - too bad you don't get what comedy is about and being able to laugh at yourself. Janelle's style its awesome and respectful while be hilarious.
@@openminds8765 Thank you for lecturing me on what kind of comedy I'm allowed to enjoy. And guess what, if I went on stage to discuss the three or four types of Black people, you'd be screaming that I'm a racist. You can't have it both ways.
@@sisterdoublehappiness9714 There is a difference between light humor and hateful way. You seem to think everyone thinks like you and would label anything about any race as racist you but if you did it with good humor then I would laugh - this lady did it the style and humor. She could do any race most likely including her own with the same type of humor. Anytime I can lecture you let me know I am more than happy too since you Thanked me. Next topic I you want me bone up on.
@@openminds8765Don't you see some sort of disconnect between claiming that you have an "open mind" in your RUclips handle, yet screaming "Hate!" at anyone who dares disagree with you? I do not like this woman's humor and feel that reducing anyone to a stereotype is neither kind nor fair. But you're telling me I have no right to be offended or, in fact, to dislike her humor at all.. Try thinking for yourself for a change instead of trying to think for other people. You know, stop being such a Karen.
@@sisterdoublehappiness9714 You win if that makes you feel better here is your gold star⭐Yes I hope you know the difference between a joke and racist banter someday but you do you.
So, but wouldn't someone who joked about the different types of Black people be called racist and get cancelled? I seriously don't care because it's different with comedy. I'm super curious though.
Pleassssse white and black comedians joke about themselves and other races all the time. There is a difference if its done hateful or disrespectful but she is just totally funny and spot on without hate.
I would watch it, I love it so rthat I can learn about it too, because I only lived in a black neighbourhood for a few years, I usually where it was mixed or principally white.
Is it just me, or is this kind of wholesome racial humor absent since the pandemic? Her stories come across as an authentically black perspective on crazy white stuff, but without the animus that seems so present today.
From the title I went in with a closed mind and ready to fight but Grillllllll you won me over with your good brand of comedy - I will be watching out for more from Janelle James - Spot on - Good on you⭐️
Look, I love a good bonfire! Ive been a suburbanite for a pretty long time and those bonfires are so fun especially during the fall late summer. My bff whom of which is white did one for my bday last year. Drinking, edibles and the bonfire was perfect for me 😊
I was a Brownie and Girl Scout until age 16. We had bonfires every fall for our annual roundup. A big hot fire just to burn up some marshmallows. 😅 She's right about Caucasian neighbors who smoke weed though...they think we all do. And don't mind sharing if you indulge. But that was early 2000s. Different times now.
I didn’t find her funny, but you are down right hateful. There are shades of black peoples that are the ebony and they are the most beautiful people in the world. Sometimes I think white peoples flatter themselves too much. Actually, caucasians are the least attractive people in the world, that’s why they put everyone else down. How’s that for a fresh perspective?
When a white, Republican guy you don’t know wants to play Bob Marley songs for you, he’s definitely got weed to share.
Yeah chronic Humboldt County 😂

Omg . So funny. I love it.

I'm so sad that I had never heart of her until I watched 'Abbott Elementary.' I could have been laughing at her great jokes for years!
Same😂
Ook she is amazing
Don't feel bad, even the most talented has to get their name out there somehow.

I know right? All those years you missed of laughing at yourself as a white person. What a loss.

When I grew up in the city we looked down on drug use. When we moved to the suburbs the rich kids could afford drugs and alcohol and bragged about it.
Yup
It really depends on the drugs being used as well.

That…doesn’t sound like a bonfire lmao
@@montagne5825 it was contained and no trees were set on fire. we roasted marshmallows which automatically gives it bonfire points
Yah true country bonfires include lots of alcohol. That’s the one thing she left out.
Lol she's missing out cuz she hung out with the wrong midwest whites 😅.
@@llcooljay520 California beach bonfires too. Except the beaches usually close around 10 so we gotta finish the party somewhere else🥴🥴
She seems like she would be such a fun person to hang out with.
Maybe not if you were white
She just likes to observe those
she seems like ride or die kinda gal :)
As long as you have weed
With or without weed?
"casseroles with Triscuits on it" 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
In ohio we would put Fritos on top of chili.
Hot dish in Minnesota
Never heard of such a thing, -from WI.
Yea ! Or tuna noodle casserol wit dem potato chips! Mm m😂
Her delivery and voice are distinct and captivating.
She absolutely steals the show in some of her scenes as Ava Eva on Abbott Elementary!
I have a hard time understanding most of the lines she says on that show. She either talks too fast or garbles her words.
Yes!!
Talks too fast for me too
Anyone who can play an instrument or sing should never "show" their skills to people but spring it on them when they least expect it.. lol

Yooo randomly came across this on my yourube feed this is great! 😂 wholesome too❤
Having taught for years, I see no tale in her character on the show. She’s freaking hilarious 😂🤦🏽♀️
A bonfire isn't just a fire. It's a BIG fire 🤣🤣🤣
LMAOOO when she said “I went to a bonfire….” I just lost it like I never thought of how it would sound to someone who hadn’t been to one
