I LOATHE all the anti-consumerist preaching… she’ll hire a plane to fly over her mansion with an “I love you, happy anniversary banner” and yet she’s so minimalist?
@@Raccoon_Chic Maybe the allegations against her about being really abusive to the people who worked for her? All the while promoting a “be kind” mindset? Might be that?
Ellen’s downfall was so disappointing. Her coming out was a big deal. And I hate that she ended up so unkind while she pretended to be the queen of nice.
So, let me get this straight...Ellen, calls out everyone for being "lazy" by just sitting on their butts watching tv or playing video games after work. Then, she turns around and tells you to watch her show to be happy? I'm sorry, what? So, is being lazy going to make you happy, or I guess only watching her show? Maybe she is on to something, I'm pretty happy when I'm lazy. :)
The thing that kills me about rich ppl is that they literally think everyone has an office job. "You sit on your ass all day" have you never heard of a nurse? A Server? A surgeon? A cashier? These people are so out of touch. I know maybe 2 people with office jobs. Even during covid. "You all can just work from home" I work at a grocery store?? No I can't?? I genuinely think it's cause they forget that those people.. are people
Thank you! That's always what's bugging me about people saying stuff like that. Everybody in hospitality, production, anything like that - they're all on their feet and working in a designated space. If you work with other people - be it children or elderly people or whatever - you also most likely are up and running the whole time. I also don't know a lot of people who do have an office job where they solely sit at a desk and work at a computer
Lol yep I’m teacher support staff (basically an after school program to help kids with homework). We tried to do it online during covid but it was not a success. Just like for a lot of high schoolers online school in general wasn’t a success. I have friends who are veterinarians, one works as a train controller, one of them works in robotics in a lab, one of them is a forklift driver. Try doing those things from home 😂😂😂 it just won’t work.
I read this randomly years ago when i was stuck at a relatives and the ONLY thing I remember is her talking about always wearing pants because she has a bougainvillea tattoo on her legs that attracts bees
I haven't listened to the audiobook but in the book she just has this page with random words that are not words and she says it's a chapter for people listening to the audiobook where they can listen to her make sounds basically
GIRLBOSS IS BACK!💞Wait 'til you hear that the ultra-popular (& frankly just toxic) BookTok piece 'It Ends With Us' has the main protagonist write regular fanmail to Ellen and it is exactly as cringy as it sounds.... Love your stand-up-esque book reviews, keep 'em coming!😎📖
@@levityoflonging22 Oh, no I didn't have it in me to read the sequel - think IEWU has permanently destroyed my impulse to read a popular book at random for good, haha!😅
I would recommend Viola Davis’ memoir. Not because it problematic or anything but I read it last week and I almost cried at some parts. The shit she had to go through.
the irony of ellen talking about too much stuff....because she gives every guest gimick gifts with her name all over them so they cant even use them in practical life
Omg bestie! I remember commenting on your videos forever ago that I was hoping to get back into reading since ADHD made it challenging for me to read by sight and I actually freaking did it this weekend! And it was way easier now that I'm on meds! I think I was mostly just psyching myself out. I'm so proud of myself but now I can't joke about being illiterate anymore 😂 thanks for inspiring me for getting back into it ❤️
I live in NY and I totally want to travel north to Toronto to catch one of your shows. I'll have to bring that book so you can sign it (if I remember at least 😅)
@Trinity M oh yeah, you're definitely right. I only joke to my friends about it, some of whom are English and special Ed teachers so they understand the context better than me. I appreciate you mentioning it though because I was talking to one of those friends about Oliver James on TikTok, he's a dad in his 30's who was functionally illiterate, he's challenging himself to read a bunch of books with the help of supporters on TikTok. Very wholesome guy I recommend checking out! I was surprised because the article I was reading mentioned what percentage of the US population was functionally illiterate and I was so surprised how high it was! I don't remember what it was but I'm pretty sure it was at least in the double digits. It's a bigger issue than one (at least with my privilege) would realize. I'll try to be more sensitive about it in the future but, like I said, at least I don't have a reason to make the joke anymore! ❤️
i can picture one of ellen's employees watching this at home and just tapping the shoulders of the people around them everytime you insult ellen for the way she treats her empoyees.
@Trinity M you're just right. Men can literally rape ppl, generally women; and have amazing careers. Men can be mean to their staff and no one cares bc it's a man. God forbid a woman isn't perfect, though. Any imperfections a woman has she will be absolutely be eaten alive for...
it is hilarious to imagine that in the infamous "it ends with us" this is the book that atlas got lily blossom bloom. I'm pretty certain it's not, but the thought cracks me up nonetheless
There was a gag on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt where one of her friends wrote a memoir. She excitedly held up a copy on a talk show and said, "The pages are just a block of styrofoam!" I think about that whenever a celebrity writes a book.
I just made a cross country move with my two cats and my infant and your videos have been the soundtrack to my packing, travel and unpacking. I think I've watched all of them now. Thank you for your humor and your spice.✌️
I really like how you promote self pleasure on your channel through the sponsors. Genuinely I think women have a hard time taking sexuality into their own hands and I appreciate that you promote it as often as you do.
i love that she is saying (beauty is not about the color of your hair or your eyes) she is only talking about white people and the standars between them and i love it she is being inclusive to blonds and brunete and people with blue eyes OR brown eyes!! ugh love that
Gah! I’m so excited for this video! I’ve had your videos on repeat for the past couple weeks. My best friend of 15 years recently passed away and one of your videos was recommended. I've been playing them on repeat while I clean and move around the house. Makes me feel a little less lonely. Thank you so much for this content.
You're my new favorite channel I subscribed too and I'm just thankful for your humor, cynicism, and amazing ability to condense literal nonsense into a way that is digestible for your fans
Is delightfully bitter a thing? Sparklingly sardonic? I don't know, but the proportions of negativity and charm in this video are perfect. Gonna watch again.
did the ellen not-book pre date the gabbie hanna bad poetry? cause one def inspired the other here. The pages with 1 sentence, the puns and desperate attempts to be relatable
have you ever read anna kendrick or ian harding's memoirs??? i honestly enjoyed them, anna kendrick's especially really seems like she put effort into it (and did not hire a ghostwriter).
Carley I just need to say that I love rhis episode sponsor. From one girl boss to another I have to say that is the move to make to normalise sex positivity and share some tips for keeping our bodies healthy! Obviously I recommend Lelo to everyone (lelo sona is a life saver for me who is affected by taking anti depressants). Get that good stuff please! ❤
this was literally on my high school summer reading list. i read it and had to do a project on it and got points off for quoting things that weren’t “real quotes”
Did you ever watch Disney's 2014 orignal Zapped??? I was reminded of it recently and forgot how unhinged it is and I feel like you are the most qualified to unpack it

Hahaha both of them
@@eilidhm she is 20 in April 😅
@@eilidhm WHAT
I mean, watching Dakota Johnson say “Actually no that’s not the truth, Ellen” DID cure my depression, so I guess technically Ellen was right.
these reading celebrity books so you don't have to videos are what we needed as a society
thank you bestie
Whenever Ellen feels like she has too much stuff in her house, she just goes ahead and buys a new house.
truly
Imagine
I LOATHE all the anti-consumerist preaching… she’ll hire a plane to fly over her mansion with an “I love you, happy anniversary banner” and yet she’s so minimalist?
And used her show as a platform to shame Americans for indulging in Big Gulps. 🙄
lmao so true. every few months she's buying another enormous place with Portia
you’re the bravest person on this infernal website
thank you bestie
Ellen: going home and watching reality TV is lazy
Also Ellen: hey, you should watch my TV show every day
This is even more ironic considering she wouldn’t shut up about watching the Bachelor on her TV show. She almost made it her entire brand.
Also..."don't watch reality tv" but also "I am a judge on American Idol"
This was the comment I was going to make.
imagine being one of the trees that died to become paper for ellens useless book with two lines on each page 😔
Like your fresh perspective haha
'if you're george bush, then it's fun' is absolutely killing me
george bush is ellens #1 fan
I was about to quote this part. My absolute favorite.
I wouldn't read ellens book even if it was the only book in the world.
fair bestie
I second this
Why ? I don’t get why everyone all of the sudden hates her
@@Raccoon_Chic Maybe the allegations against her about being really abusive to the people who worked for her? All the while promoting a “be kind” mindset? Might be that?
@@0gammag0 cool. You don’t have to sound like a smart ass . I literally had no idea what happened to her .

@@raveng8217 Yes; I think everyone here did! Ha!
a moment of silence for the time carley put aside for an ellen book.
moments i WONT GET BACK
truly the hero we don’t deserve
Ellen is like if Sue Sylvester from glee had money, a talk show, and a bigger ego
didn't sue had a talk show? (or was that just when she was running for mayor or president)
@@_bebeboudeur_ she had a news segment I think? Glee truly was a fever dream.
@@_bebeboudeur_ she did. „That’s how sue sees/c’s it.“
Tbh even sue was better. At least sue was funny🤷♀️
Yeah, Ellen also gave me kind of Lea Michele/Rachel Berry vibes when it came out about how she treated the people working on her show.

Greyson Chance was also signed to Ellen’s label. Both he and Charlie Puth called out Ellen and her label for “abandoning” them after signing them.
omg i completely forgot about that greyson chance kid. that came outta the vault
I read this randomly years ago when i was stuck at a relatives and the ONLY thing I remember is her talking about always wearing pants because she has a bougainvillea tattoo on her legs that attracts bees
there was some crazy shit in this book
Hahahaha
i feel like carley put more time and effort into making this video than ellen did into writing her book
her calling people lazy for watching tv but she wouldn’t be rich and famous if no one watched her on tv
Who else watches her videos when they're in reading slump
wishing you the best luck getting out of the slump
I don’t even really read. I just think Carley is hilarious
So basically 24/7? Yeah
I'm trying to read Dracula, and I'm just not enjoying it, so I'm here instead.
I can't believe you didn't include the chapter where she just screams into the void "for people who are listening to the audiobook" like?????
there was just too much chaos to include in one video
😂😂❤️❤️
lmao please elaborate, what is this about
I haven't listened to the audiobook but in the book she just has this page with random words that are not words and she says it's a chapter for people listening to the audiobook where they can listen to her make sounds basically
Experimentalist queen 😭
can't forget when she made a video about being sad & bored in early quarantine while at a ranch that could accommodate a fully functional town 😭
the charlie puth aside was a truly iconic moment in an already incredible video
the charlie puth reveal shook me

I literally got it for Christmas that year lmfao
“I mean I wasn’t laughing, but I did breathe out of my nose” loll
a nose laugh if you will

Critiquing Ellen's book is probably the most girlboss thing you could've done. 😎👍Zelda Fitzgerald would be proud!
zelda would fight ellen
@@uncarley ON SITE! Ellen would be done-ion-rings with her coloring book ass.
Her tips for being a good modal is LITERALLY the skit she did with taylor swift on her show 15 years ago !
“Ellen tell me about your moral compass” 😂😂😂😂
the irony of ellen talking about too much stuff....because she gives every guest gimick gifts with her name all over them so they cant even use them in practical life
The fact that you respond to at least half your comments (and half of those responses are “thanks bestie”) is too wholesome for me
I'm 60years old and I really enjoy watching you. Even when I don't agree with you completely. Keep it real!!
The timing of this video was immaculate because I just startdd my lunch break. Thank you, once again,, for allowing me to escape reality for 17 mins 😌
omg happy to help bestie
