The more stand up I watch the more I understand why comedians respect Ellen so much, even though she's always been so clean and never very edgy or "out there". She has this quirky absurdity that's really compelling. It's never yuk yuk lines, or shock humor, or angry or topical (she never did "women's humour" or "lesbian humour" or whatever), she's just herself, and slightly insane. And somehow she strikes you as the rare comedian who is pretty comfortable with herself, who doesn't try.
To this day, 1 of the funniest pieces of stand up comedy I ever saw. This is what made me fall in love with Ellen. Then her sitcom was so good, too. Her talk show started out good. Just a shame money and fame changed her.
@Mind Control Experiments different strokes for different folks. I feel she looks more fresh these days. Plus this girly dressing that you "prefer" she's not comfortable with 🤷
For any Americans who love early Ellen stand up and who don’t know who Victoria Wood was, please research her and watch her old stand ups. If you love Ellen, you’ll love her.
To put it straight, everybody is the same on the inside, people shouldnt judge, be rude, be racist or sexist, disrespect others or judge. Be greatful to be alive and live life exactly how it is, too many people these days are worried about other people and there lives, live your own life, be yourself and enjoy it. You are you, and you cant control others. simple. peace, love, unity!
Hey, all you guys with the angry religious comments, please keep to yourselves, I just want to enjoy Ellen. If you don't like her, it's your loss and please don't come here to complain. Don't complain at all. Imagine Ellen straight, would you love her comedy then? Sorry, shes not changing a belief to meet your needs, she's just being herself LONG LIVE ELLEN DEGENERES!!! WE LOVE YOU!!
@MyaHeartsU Here here!!! Politically I'm a conservative, but why the hell can't I appreciate this woman for her talent? I actually had this exact special recorded on VHS forever, and used to watch it all the time. She's hillarious. She never mentions her sexuality, and to be honest she shouldn't have to. She's an extremely funny person, and she doesn't use obscene language, or reference vulgar or lewd sexual situations. She seems to be geninuinley sweet person.
I don't understand how some folks don't think anything is funny unless it's vulgar or shocking, or somehow insulting or offensive. To each their own, I guess.
She soooo reminds me of Helen Hunt except the voice. And I totally agree, it is so weird hearing her voice and seeing her how she looks. I think it is amazing how her voice is as distinctive as always. But yeah. her stand up is structured the same which I love.
Ive watched this Ellen stand up at least 10 or 12 times, and this is the first time I noticed that the fish in the background is the same kind of fish she played in Finding Nemo. The colors are slightly different but Im pretty sure its the same type of fish. Thats pretty funny. Wonder if this show had any influence in that regards?
Your great in your demeanor 😂you’re exceptional you started ❤ controlling the the audience with natural humor always makes everyone happy I love it it’s a hater once not anymore 👀✅❤️😍
@TheHarmonygrace Well said. It sucks that ignorant people get their voices elevated, and put a stain on the rest of us compassionate, and understanding people. Thank you
If Jesus Christ was alive today he would love Ellen for being a kind and caring person with a good heart. Dunno what these religious nutjobs are on about.
She has such great comedic timing - it's like she's not even trying.
She didn't become Ellen De Generes in one day. She proved herself in decades before coming to this point. She's the real deal.
Swears she is
I miss Ellen's stand-up.
She has a new special on Netflix, just came out 😃

She looks beautiful in her long hair!!!!😮😊😘
she was very smooth and natural at that time.
delicious 80's haircut
Our 80's haircuts 😂😂😂😂.
I was too distracted by the hammer pants to notice the hair!
@Mind Control Experiments she looks so much better now.
@Mind Control Experiments different strokes for different folks. I feel she looks more fresh these days. Plus this girly dressing that you "prefer" she's not comfortable with 🤷
I love her haircut tho...
I may be in love with her brain!
I love her.
she is screaming the 90's. love it!
Ellen is looking so beautiful in this video!!

If Jesus Christ was alive today he would love Ellen for being a kind and caring person with a good heart. Dunno what these religious nutjobs are on about.
How sweet!
He would not love her support for deviant lifestyles.
