This woman is the best thing about the South. Doesn’t matter what kind of mood you’re in or where you’re from she will make you smile and remind you what’s great about America.
Agreed! She is the epitome of what the real South embodies and its hospitality and manners! I wish I could've had the honor of seeing her live and in person but in lieu of having that opportunity, I will have to settle for enjoying her classic style and true comedy via these timeless videos! Rest in Peace, Jeanne Robertson! You are truly a missed gem!
What are we gonna do without You ? smh I bet Mama is happy, Beaver. And, Marsha Diane I know you were ON the spot when needed. Blessings to All. We love you, Jeanne. ''''''''''''''''
I have laughed so hard and so loud, I’ve scared my cats. I have listened to everything she has put on the Internet because she brings out my belly-laughter! Thank you, Jeanne Robertson! ❣️❣️❣️
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.🤗❤️
It would have been good to have seen Jeanne in person. Looking & listening on TikTok is better for me; I laugh so much at times that I miss what she says next. I can listen again to get all the jokes. I'm a big guy laugher & I have to keep going to the ladies room. I do love 💗💗 the clean comedy!!! That is harder to get. Thanks for all the jokes you put out that all can enjoy with the click on the phone. I enjoyed hearing stories of your family. The first one I heard was sending husband to grocery store. I listen to that often, THANKS 🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰💕💕
Reminds me of a story where a burial society from Seattle had to travel down to Tacoma to pick up a body and bring it back to Seattle for burial. There was the hearse driver and an attendant in the front. On the way back to Seattle, the driver turned to the attendant and said he needed to use a restroom and could they pull over at a service station. While the driver was in the restroom, a wino sauntered over and asked the attendant if he could get a ride. Hoping to scare off the wino, the attendant said there was no room in the front, but he could get in the back with the body. The wino, much obliged, climbed in back. The driver returned and off they went. A few miles down the road, the wino speaks up, "Hey buddy, mind if I smoke?" Completely shocked, the driver ended up putting the hearse in the ditch.
Nov 2022..... I come here for a laugh every now and then. "It's a long way to Macomb Mississippi!" has become one of my family's catch phrases when describing/discussing/joking about long trips. It doesn't matter the real destination, lol. "You better use the restroom, it's a long way to Macomb, Mississippi." or 'That's a two day drive! Oh well, it's a long way to Macomb, Mississippi." Thanks go out to Jeanne and Left Brain in heaven and all of the dear friends who supported her.
Ms. Jeanne Robertson, found you by accident yesterday (Saturday July 20, 2019) and I've been watching your videos...……….. you're very funny. You have proven that one can be funny without using a "profanity" in your jokes. As a Comedian myself, I find people like to hear clean "jokes". I am an American of Mexican decent ( and proud of it) so, my material is about myself, family or friends. Yes, there is so much humor in everyday life and if you can take that and make people laugh...……….. well, what can I say? Continue making people laugh, God has given us a gift that not to many people can do and that is make people laugh. Thank you Jeanne Robertson for making me laugh this weekend. I needed that...……….. God bless you and Left-Brain...…….
I was known as "the Mexican's kid." I would politely explain that I was "the Argentina man's kid." ANd the clincher was, "Where are your people from." I had no idea why I left them speechless! It did them good to see an unashamed small child. Keep them laughing and they will all love you.
This just tickled me!! We wanted to bury my Daddy in the old church cemetery. He had been a member for 50 years, there were no spots left or so we thought. A old man had bought plots for him and his wife and they had divorced. The children didn’t bury their mother next to their father. My Daddy is resting peacefully next to a total stranger. Knowing Daddy he made friends with his new roommate as soon as he got to heaven.
I can't help it her stories always crack me up. Reminds me of my mothers family God rest her souls. They were fromMorehead City NC. And I can tell you Jeanne is spot on with every word she spoke. Makes me feel like I've stepped back in time when I listen to Jeanne. Rip Dear Jeanne.
Yay!! Another post! I was born and raised in Ky... and coming in here and listening to you makes me feel like I CAN go home again! It's like sittin on the front porch talkin to you, so comforting, so familiar. You have more of an impact on people's lives than you'll probably ever know..it's so good to be able to go home again, and laugh and smile, even if it's for only 3 minutes at a time. Thank you...you're chosen career has brought such warmth and humor to so many! May God continue to bless you and yours!!
Jeanne is one of the greatest comedian/story tellers I've heard. She makes me smile and laugh every time I listen to her. I hope to see her on stage, one day.
I have been in a Jeanne Robertson binge for two days now! What a wonderful southern belle with such a great sense of humor. Her wit is amazing as well as her delivery! Thank you for making me laugh on days when my world is going to hell in a hand basket👍👍😋😋
One time, in the sixties, on a remote Scottish island, where we lived, one of the locals passed. My daddy was assigned to get him in the coffin, forgetting poor Rory was a hunchback. In my fathers words, "We tried him in the box sideways, frontways, puir wee fella, couldnae get him tae fit. I had tae add two extra inches a' the wey roond tae fit him." I was ending myself laughing, had to ask him to stop.
My father always used to complain that my mother dawdled when getting ready to go anywhere with him, and he used to say: "You'll be late to your own funeral." Pop passed first, and we all went to Tennessee for his funeral. Then, some years later, Mom died, and there was a lot of confusion concerning her funeral, but we had her remains cremated and due to some terrible mix-ups concerning the rather draconian rules at my work place regarding bereavement leave, and my two sisters' inability to attend due to their residence in nursing homes, no one was able to deliver her "cremains" to the site where her ashes and Pop's were going to be deposited. We finally managed to get the ashes delivered to Mom's cousin, but the delivery was not in time for the ceremony. Pop turned out to be right: Mom was late to her own funeral.
My uncle was late for his funeral at Arlington. It involved a blizzard that shut down the federal government in Washington. The powers that be decided to reopen the government on a sunny Friday even though the roads, like RT 66, weren't completely cleared. Major traffic jams resulted. The hearse was stuck in traffic and was late. We missed the service completely due to gridlock, and they couldn't actually bury him because there were 3 ft of snow on the ground. They did do the rifle salute and taps. I'm told they were nice. I think my uncle would have laughed.
I love you. Thank you dear for the laugh. I’m in the hospital recovering from pneumonia. You gave me something to smile about for the day. God bless you always dear.❤️✝️😉
I was very happy to see you had a new video up this morning Miss Jeanne! Now that I’ve lived here in Mebane NC for the last 6 months, I’ve been blessed to see and experience first hand, that the people of the South truly are welcoming and big hearted. My ultimate goal is to one day soon be able to afford tickets to see you tell your stories in person. Until then, may you and Left Brain be blessed❤️
Great story. Love it. I watch and listen to the stories and I feel like I am home. Born and raised in North Carolina. Currently living out of the country.
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.❤️

My Granny’s hair dresser came & fixed her hair at the church just before the service, & it was closed casket. It was the weirdest thing seeing the blow dryer & curlers plugged in. Cathy, the hair lady said she’d been to the viewing & just couldn’t stand the thought of Granny going to her great reward with bad hair.
I have been following Jeanne for over 5 years after stumbling on her accidentally! I have watched all her videos several times and know the stories well, but she always makes me laugh and feel at home. I remember my father’s funeral well as my mother was a much beloved police office in our little down so they honored her by honoring my father and he was buried with great ceremony. My mother died many years later and had moved from the small town so her funeral was quiet and unremarkable, people forget you very quickly, except for the fact that when they opened the grave there was already a body on top of my father. An explanation here, in our small cemetery plots are vertical rather than horizontal due to lack of space, in a family plot whoever dies first goes on bottom and the remaining partner goes on top when they die. Well there was a women interned above my daddy when they opened the grave, seems they had buried her in the right plot but had put daddy in the wrong plot. They would have had to dig up Mr. who knows, and dig up my father switch them and rebury both plus rebury the woman over her real husband. After contacting me about the problem my solution was to contact the other families relatives and see if the would agree to switching plots with my family, that way both men remained where they were, and they only had to move Mrs. who knows over to be on top of her husband and put momma on top of daddy and move the grave markers. The other family agreed and that is how it was handled. I often wonder what momma would have said about all the years she put flowers on the wrong man’s grave and whether the other woman had put flowers on daddies grave all those years.
Love how she has her friends, family and people in the audience. It just adds some realism! Yes, I believe chicken n potatah salad is also called rib stickin food! Had many cousins in NC and I was born and raised in CA my whole life... the South is different, but so much fun when it comes to their vernacular! Love it!
Nothing shows a family’s TRUE COLORS THEN A FUNERAL FLASH, OR A PERSONS DEATH. YOU CERTAINLY GET TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT PEOPLE. THIS WAS A WONDERFUL STORY AND I APPRECIATE HEARING IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT. JEANNE HAS PASSED AWAY, BUT I AM SO THANKFUL YOU ARE SHARING HER HUMOR WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD STILL❣️❣️🌈 My sister loved her & owned several of her books, and had them on display for anybody to read them wanted to♥️♥️♥️♥️
I first heard Jeanne on a chartered bus on the way to see the Ark in Kentucky last year. My wife and I laughed our heads off. It was so entertaining to hear someone who tells stories that are clean and humorous. She has a God given gift and my wife and I always enjoy listening to her.
I've listened to three videos and the grocery store cracked me up. The Rafting trip was killer (I'm Catholic and I'd have brought more wine). This was PRICELESS! God bless you ~
Ive listened to this story more than once and shown it to friends and re watching now after Jeanne has passed I broke out in tears. I miss her so much. This story is so beautiful if you get the respect and beliefs of a family. My mom had never been to her grand dad's grave b/c it was 50 mi away at a huge military cemetery instead of in the small town family cemetery.
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.❤️
Jeanne, I am a shut-in by the Covid-19 virus and discovered you for the first time. You are hilarious! Although I am a 3rd generation Oregonian, my roots are in North Carolina (Caswell, Person & Granville Cos.) Your story about digging up Cousin Rudolph Elroy took me right back to a distant cousin from Leasburg, NC and her story about a Great Grandmother some time after the Civil War. When Solomon died they buried him in the family cemetery at the back of the property and even then it was real chore to get him back there for burial. His younger 2nd wife lived long after he died. As she neared the end of her life, she made her children promise they would inter her next to her husband in the family cemetery. Eventually the day came and she passed away. When the family thought about battling chiggers, mosquitoes and dense brush they decided it would be so much easier to bury her in the Leasburg Cemetery right inside the town. And they did! Four or five families live on the home property and family members started seeing a light in the night floating from the Leasburg Cemetery down and across the fields before disappearing in the brush in the direction of the family cemetery. The family began to talk and they were sure she was telling them that they hadn't followed her instructions. All this time her little log cabin had set empty with other families nearby. This story was brought to a climax when several family members were out in the yard and a chicken wandered into her house. There was a lot of squawking and the chicken came out of the door and fell over dead! That did it for the family! As soon as feasible they dug up Mom/Grandma and moved her body to the family cemetery. The moving night lights ceased.
Wow! Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.
What a master story teller....it just flows out of her and carries me along. And me sitting in long way off Bangalore, India can feel the atmosphere like it is here.... Thank you Jeanne R.
You are such a blessing. I found you on RUclips the other day. You lifted my spirits as you do every time I watch your speeches. Not everyone can tell a story but you are the best.thank you!
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.❤️
Jeanne is just too funny. What is sad is the fact that the 4 people who gave her a thumbs down don’t have a sense of humor or understand plain English.
@Kyril J that's so true. I laughed reading your post since when I lived in CO, I saw that a lot. My ancestors from Missouri are this way! Now, I'm back in MO (30 years older, mind you) trying to arrange my own end-of-life "affairs". It IS hilarious and serious at the same time! JEANNE'S counterpoint is brilliant!
@@bonniebickett4520 Thank goodness there's enough of us left to pass it along to our descendants. I rue the day the South became contaminated by carpetbaggers.
Lord I love this woman! I thought I had heard every one of her videos that had been posted to RUclips, but somehow I missed this one. I really needed a good laugh today too. Thank you Miss Jeanne!

Being a Tim Hawkins fan, I got a recommendation to watch Jeanne Robertson a few days ago! I had never heard of her, but am so glad I found her! She is great!

I’m from the south. The year my mother died, she had a conversation with my youngest brother about her funeral requirements. She told him to make sure she had her shoes on when she was placed in the coffin. My brother has a very brutal sense of humor. After laughing at her he asked her where she planned on going. She told him she didn’t know but she wanted to be prepared! When I went shopping to buy her burial suit, I included a pair of shoes and explained my mother’s wishes to the funeral director. Not the first time he has heard that story.
When my sister-in-law’s son was little, she asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday. He said “funeral cake.” It was the one she always brought to the church basement dinner when someone died. We still just call it funeral cake, named by a 5 year old.
B Dub I can relate to that. I started making a wonderful jello salad to take to funerals or the home of the bereaved. It was finally named “Pam’s Funeral Salad”. Now it’s expected at every funeral or church function we have. If anybody asks about it or for the recipe that’s the only name it’s known by around here. The original name on the magazine clipping was Lazy Day Quick N Easy Luscious Lemon Salad so we just shortened it! 😉😳 🍋
Pam Priddy Nothing wrong with having your own claim to fame! What’s funny to me is the funeral cake has coconut, your dish has jello. Coconut and jello are the two things on this earth I will not eat. I’ve never even tasted Jello, and only have tasted coconut by accident. I guess I just can’t have dessert at the funeral dinner!
A friend of mine mentioned funeral beans once. I asked what she meant and she said the green bean, mushroom soup, and French fried onion dish that is ubiquitous at potlucks everywhere. They’ve been funeral beans ever since.
When I got up this morning I knew I needed a good laugh to start my day! This one never gets old and being from the south it’s priceless. Thank you Jeanne!
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.👏👏😊
When my stepmom and her sister went to make burial arrangements for their cremated sister, they were in the cemetery business office and there on the shelf were the cremains in a box of their mother who had passed some 10 years earlier!!!! Neither of them were the type to take things too seriously and just had a big laugh because their mother, who lived well into her 90’s, had been a stern regimented corporate executive secretary in her career. “A dyed in the wool Republican” she called her. My stepmom just laughed when she told me the story saying that shelf was a good place for her. Then she could oversee all the goings on in the office! 🤣🤣🤣. True story! My stepmom has since passed. She lived a good life and had many funny family stories to tell. I miss her.
Jeanne, morbidish Humor is my absolute favorite! (Not really for happy reasons, but still). This is my favorite story you’ve done except for the bungee jumping story, and maybe the ones about the Baptist. Thank you for posting real, clean humor! God bless!
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.🤗😘
Oh I so hope Marsha Dianne went in and did her hair. That sweet sweet soul. I’ve never cried as much over someone I’ve never met. This sweet woman made you feel like family in her vids.
Just when I was feeling real low you came along with this video and brought me back up. Oh how I laughed! I know that you think this was a Southern thing but family burials like that happen up here in Wisconsin. With us it is usually ham sandwiches with the potato salad. Why didn't you send a 7-UP pound cake? Maybe LB didn't want to go shopping for the ingredients? Hope you are feeling/doing better. Luv and Hugs.
I wonder if Jeanne booked an appointment with Marsha Diane the week before she passed. RIP. And I want to know if somebody made the Seven-Up cake to bring to the house.
Just watched a video with Jeanne in 2015, she was telling a tall tale that she was 71, well as you can see she is not a day over 60 and sharp as a tack. Love her programs.
Im’e a 76yr olde English lady and when I was a little girl people were buried in a shroud ,well my grandma went to a dressmaker to have her shroud made in some lovely soft cotton but grandma said don’t put any lace frill round the neck cos it fidgets me 😂😂
Thank you for making me laugh so hard and yes giggle. With all of the insanity because of this virus people were getting on my last nerve. I shared your talk about the casinos and the Baptist. First, our pastor and then members of our church. We all felt our hearts were so much lighter thanks to you. We all felt our stress lighten immediately. Never change the talent God gave you that you graciously share. Hugs and prayers..

I’m calling Bull Shit on this one. Nothing personal. I was one of the grave diggers. Our deal was payment in advance. We didn’t get paid so we didn’t dig. Get it right.

@@CopperCoin0017 Absolutely true. My dad was a character. I nearly wet myself laughing!

Thanks for your love and support. ❤️
I’m a Mississippi girl born and raised and I loved this video! Thank you for sharing!!!
Yep! We do it right in the south, we have the potato salad and the chicken and sing “Amazing Grace” and I wouldn’t change anything.
Soon the new generation is going to ban stuff on pretext of racist or mysogyny or whatever new crazy stuffs, stay strong.
You are truly one of the best story tellers around, any subject, from cake, to rafting to funerals! Lol every time!
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.❤️

Jeanne, I am from McComb, MS, so this video was a real treat!
Can I give this story 2 thumbs up? You are awesome Jeanne!
I am from NC and SC. This is all so true. She is the perfect Southern Bell. I have laughed till I cried. She brought back memories !!! Thank you !!
Thanks for your love and support. ❤️
My condolences to the family. She was wonderful. The trip to Vegas is my favourite.
Mine is the white water rafting trip!
You tell the best stories! I could listen to you all day!
My Granny’s hair dresser came & fixed her hair at the church just before the service, & it was closed casket. It was the weirdest thing seeing the blow dryer & curlers plugged in.
Cathy, the hair lady said she’d been to the viewing & just couldn’t stand the thought of Granny going to her great reward with bad hair.
I'm from the South and I understand perfectly. I'm not sleeping with strangers!
My mom did my grandmas hair for her funeral bc my grandma always said nobody else could ever do it right.
I have been following Jeanne for over 5 years after stumbling on her accidentally! I have watched all her videos several times and know the stories well, but she always makes me laugh and feel at home. I remember my father’s funeral well as my mother was a much beloved police office in our little down so they honored her by honoring my father and he was buried with great ceremony. My mother died many years later and had moved from the small town so her funeral was quiet and unremarkable, people forget you very quickly, except for the fact that when they opened the grave there was already a body on top of my father. An explanation here, in our small cemetery plots are vertical rather than horizontal due to lack of space, in a family plot whoever dies first goes on bottom and the remaining partner goes on top when they die. Well there was a women interned above my daddy when they opened the grave, seems they had buried her in the right plot but had put daddy in the wrong plot. They would have had to dig up Mr. who knows, and dig up my father switch them and rebury both plus rebury the woman over her real husband. After contacting me about the problem my solution was to contact the other families relatives and see if the would agree to switching plots with my family, that way both men remained where they were, and they only had to move Mrs. who knows over to be on top of her husband and put momma on top of daddy and move the grave markers. The other family agreed and that is how it was handled. I often wonder what momma would have said about all the years she put flowers on the wrong man’s grave and whether the other woman had put flowers on daddies grave all those years.
Too funny. I do hope the other family did well by your daddy! ;)
I just love her!
I think this is one of me favorites! Thank you Jeanne!
Thanks for your love and support. ❤️
This is one I have watched many times, so funny, I love it!
Love how she has her friends, family and people in the audience. It just adds some realism! Yes, I believe chicken n potatah salad is also called rib stickin food! Had many cousins in NC and I was born and raised in CA my whole life... the South is different, but so much fun when it comes to their vernacular! Love it!
Nothing shows a family’s TRUE COLORS THEN A FUNERAL FLASH, OR A PERSONS DEATH. YOU CERTAINLY GET TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT PEOPLE.
THIS WAS A WONDERFUL STORY AND I APPRECIATE HEARING IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT. JEANNE HAS PASSED AWAY, BUT I AM SO THANKFUL YOU ARE SHARING HER HUMOR WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD STILL❣️❣️🌈 My sister loved her & owned several of her books, and had them on display for anybody to read them wanted to♥️♥️♥️♥️
I first heard Jeanne on a chartered bus on the way to see the Ark in Kentucky last year. My wife and I laughed our heads off. It was so entertaining to hear someone who tells stories that are clean and humorous. She has a God given gift and my wife and I always enjoy listening to her.
P
This amazing women is probably having a grand time sharing her stories with the King of Kings.😊😅😂❤
I've listened to three videos and the grocery store cracked me up. The Rafting trip was killer (I'm Catholic and I'd have brought more wine). This was PRICELESS! God bless you ~
Is there anything or anyone better than a great storyteller? Especially a humorist!
That punchline was so well-executed it could wake the dead.
Ive listened to this story more than once and shown it to friends and re watching now after Jeanne has passed I broke out in tears. I miss her so much. This story is so beautiful if you get the respect and beliefs of a family. My mom had never been to her grand dad's grave b/c it was 50 mi away at a huge military cemetery instead of in the small town family cemetery.
Ms. Jeanne was incredible..bet she keeps all heaven in hysterics!

Jeanne, you never fail to make me laugh out loud. This one is priceless!
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.❤️
Jeanne, I am a shut-in by the Covid-19 virus and discovered you for the first time. You are hilarious! Although I am a 3rd generation Oregonian, my roots are in North Carolina (Caswell, Person & Granville Cos.) Your story about digging up Cousin Rudolph Elroy took me right back to a distant cousin from Leasburg, NC and her story about a Great Grandmother some time after the Civil War.
When Solomon died they buried him in the family cemetery at the back of the property and even then it was real chore to get him back there for burial. His younger 2nd wife lived long after he died. As she neared the end of her life, she made her children promise they would inter her next to her husband in the family cemetery. Eventually the day came and she passed away. When the family thought about battling chiggers, mosquitoes and dense brush they decided it would be so much easier to bury her in the Leasburg Cemetery right inside the town. And they did!
Four or five families live on the home property and family members started seeing a light in the night floating from the Leasburg Cemetery down and across the fields before disappearing in the brush in the direction of the family cemetery. The family began to talk and they were sure she was telling them that they hadn't followed her instructions. All this time her little log cabin had set empty with other families nearby. This story was brought to a climax when several family members were out in the yard and a chicken wandered into her house. There was a lot of squawking and the chicken came out of the door and fell over dead!
That did it for the family! As soon as feasible they dug up Mom/Grandma and moved her body to the family cemetery. The moving night lights ceased.
Wow! Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.
What a master story teller....it just flows out of her and carries me along. And me sitting in long way off Bangalore, India can feel the atmosphere like it is here....
Thank you Jeanne R.
This is sooo southern classic!
You are such a blessing. I found you on RUclips the other day. You lifted my spirits as you do every time I watch your speeches. Not everyone can tell a story but you are the best.thank you!
Thanks for your love and support. ❤️
My my, my, Miss Jeanne Robertson, i haven't found anything funnier. Your video's crack me up everytime.
One of my faves from Jeanne! Hilarious!
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.❤️
I just love this gal!! She is America’s grandma. The funniest lady there is!😂 Her true stories makes them even funnier yet!🤪🤣🥲
Jeanne is just too funny. What is sad is the fact that the 4 people who gave her a thumbs down don’t have a sense of humor or understand plain English.
I'm convinced those people have fat fingers and hit the down thumb accidentally. Please forgive them, and ask God to help them lose weight. 😊
They just don't understand how burials can get complicated down here
@Kyril J Bless it, that just breaks my heart.
@Kyril J that's so true. I laughed reading your post since when I lived in CO, I saw that a lot. My ancestors from Missouri are this way! Now, I'm back in MO (30 years older, mind you) trying to arrange my own end-of-life "affairs". It IS hilarious and serious at the same time! JEANNE'S counterpoint is brilliant!
I tell you what, that's cuz they're not from these parts.
THIS story is a real classic. I like it every time I hear it. I just sent it to my cousin!
I have lived in the south all of my life (so far) and you can't make this stuff up. That's just the way it is here.
I've lived in the North all my life, and I agree. Drama is everywhere, I've been involved in more than my share when it comes to family funerals, LOL!
Yup! We're funny that way! 😉
@@tootsiedawn2016 Thank goodness for that!
I'm from Georgia, soooo funny and true!
@@bonniebickett4520 Thank goodness there's enough of us left to pass it along to our descendants. I rue the day the South became contaminated by carpetbaggers.
No one I know, can tell a story like you Ms. Jeanne.😁😅
Lord I love this woman! I thought I had heard every one of her videos that had been posted to RUclips, but somehow I missed this one. I really needed a good laugh today too. Thank you Miss Jeanne!
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.😘😘
You are the BEST! 🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗 Sending hugs, love, prayers and kindness...🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗
I KNOW. Everytime I hear her - It's heavenly and funny. 💕💖

What a storyteller.
Kmsl. Omg I just found this beautiful hilarious woman tonight. It's 4 hours later.... Almost 3 in the morning and I can't get enough of her
Love & Peace Check out Ken Davis on RUclips, too. Clean and funny.
Being a Tim Hawkins fan, I got a recommendation to watch Jeanne Robertson a few days ago! I had never heard of her, but am so glad I found her! She is great!
Ohhh I LOVE this lady! Clean and really funny right through to the end! Priceless!
Dear Jeanne:
I have tickets to your show in Paducah, Kentucky this coming Sunday! Can't wait!
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.👏👏❤️
fantastic! so excited a new jeanne video!
me too
So fun to listen to your story telling. Such a gift! 💕
Thanks for your love and support. ❤️
I’m from the south. The year my mother died, she had a conversation with my youngest brother about her funeral requirements. She told him to make sure she had her shoes on when she was placed in the coffin. My brother has a very brutal sense of humor. After laughing at her he asked her where she planned on going. She told him she didn’t know but she wanted to be prepared! When I went shopping to buy her burial suit, I included a pair of shoes and explained my mother’s wishes to the funeral director. Not the first time he has heard that story.
Soooooo funny!!!! Love your videos!! I am from the south. We could not survive without fried chicken and potato salad!
I
You

When my sister-in-law’s son was little, she asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday. He said “funeral cake.” It was the one she always brought to the church basement dinner when someone died. We still just call it funeral cake, named by a 5 year old.
B Dub I can relate to that. I started making a wonderful jello salad to take to funerals or the home of the bereaved. It was finally named “Pam’s Funeral Salad”. Now it’s expected at every funeral or church function we have. If anybody asks about it or for the recipe that’s the only name it’s known by around here. The original name on the magazine clipping was Lazy Day Quick N Easy Luscious Lemon Salad so we just shortened it! 😉😳 🍋
Pam Priddy Nothing wrong with having your own claim to fame! What’s funny to me is the funeral cake has coconut, your dish has jello. Coconut and jello are the two things on this earth I will not eat. I’ve never even tasted Jello, and only have tasted coconut by accident. I guess I just can’t have dessert at the funeral dinner!
That's normal in the southern Midwest! We have a specialty called funeral potatoes.
A friend of mine mentioned funeral beans once. I asked what she meant and she said the green bean, mushroom soup, and French fried onion dish that is ubiquitous at potlucks everywhere. They’ve been funeral beans ever since.

When I got up this morning I knew I needed a good laugh to start my day! This one never gets old and being from the south it’s priceless. Thank you Jeanne!
Oh my goodness! I absolutely live your videos!
me too

When my stepmom and her sister went to make burial arrangements for their cremated sister, they were in the cemetery business office and there on the shelf were the cremains in a box of their mother who had passed some 10 years earlier!!!! Neither of them were the type to take things too seriously and just had a big laugh because their mother, who lived well into her 90’s, had been a stern regimented corporate executive secretary in her career. “A dyed in the wool Republican” she called her.
My stepmom just laughed when she told me the story saying that shelf was a good place for her. Then she could oversee all the goings on in the office! 🤣🤣🤣. True story! My stepmom has since passed. She lived a good life and had many funny family stories to tell. I miss her.
A master story teller. How anyone could give you a thumbs down is beyond me.
Jeanne, morbidish Humor is my absolute favorite! (Not really for happy reasons, but still). This is my favorite story you’ve done except for the bungee jumping story, and maybe the ones about the Baptist. Thank you for posting real, clean humor! God bless!
Love that lady. I have seen this a couple of times before, but when the opportunity came up to watch it again, couldn't help but watch it again.
Love this lady and would love the chance to see her in person
Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.🤗😘
"Well....liiiittttle did they knoooow"....Cracks me up every time I hear her say that.
Her sense of humor even about death
The respect of others did bring tears to my eyes
You will be so missed Jeanne!! 😭😭 you have been such a bright spot in my world. God bless you and your family 💜💜💜💜
Oh I so hope Marsha Dianne went in and did her hair. That sweet sweet soul. I’ve never cried as much over someone I’ve never met. This sweet woman made you feel like family in her vids.
Know how you feel. Balled my eyes out.... she was like family
Such great humor! Loved her wit and clean jokes!
Just when I was feeling real low you came along with this video and brought me back up. Oh how I laughed! I know that you think this was a Southern thing but family burials like that happen up here in Wisconsin. With us it is usually ham sandwiches with the potato salad. Why didn't you send a 7-UP pound cake? Maybe LB didn't want to go shopping for the ingredients? Hope you are feeling/doing better. Luv and Hugs.
I wonder if Jeanne booked an appointment with Marsha Diane the week before she passed. RIP. And I want to know if somebody made the Seven-Up cake to bring to the house.
Just watched a video with Jeanne in 2015, she was telling a tall tale that she was 71, well as you can see she is not a day over 60 and sharp as a tack. Love her programs.
She was born in 1943 and won Miss Congeniality in the 1963 Miss America Pageant.Started her career in the year she was representing the pageant.
Im’e a 76yr olde English lady and when I was a little girl people were buried in a shroud ,well my grandma went to a dressmaker to have her shroud made in some lovely soft cotton but grandma said don’t put any lace frill round the neck cos it fidgets me 😂😂
Some still do that.
That's hilarious!
😂
So funny
Thank you for making me laugh so hard and yes giggle. With all of the insanity because of this virus people were getting on my last nerve. I shared your talk about the casinos and the Baptist. First, our pastor and then members of our church. We all felt our hearts were so much lighter thanks to you. We all felt our stress lighten immediately. Never change the talent God gave you that you graciously share. Hugs and prayers..

This was just priceless! Loved the timeline aspect.
Sounds like a fantastic adventure. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Jeanne, for good, clean humor.....such a shortage these days...I can actually watch with my family and not be embarrassed!
When mama died the hearse got lost and the gravediggers took the day off. No body, no grave, so we sat around and ate peach pie.
Oh my no ! I am respectfully laughing my self into a tizzy . Bless your heart.
That sounds like something that would have happened with my mother! Lol
I’m calling Bull Shit on this one. Nothing personal. I was one of the grave diggers. Our deal was payment in advance. We didn’t get paid so we didn’t dig. Get it right.
That's sounds like a story in and of itself and a good one.
No no go away now
Welcome back - you’ve been missed.
That was totally hilarious. I think I found my new favorite comedian.
