I’m 61 years old widower and it’s really something to hear the reality told by a beautiful lady who has an awesome heart in a manner that brings laughter out. God Bless 💕🤗
I laughed when she said marriages last long when the men don't speak. Until I realized my parents have been married nearly 35 years and my dad is the most quiet, non confrontational person I know. So she has a point 😂
It can be true. What she said was some wisdom I picked up and really a revelation that if you don't speak that the woman will assume you don't have a differing opinion. If you are married to a woman with borderline personality traits then you are married to someone that if you disagree with their opinion they take that as "you don't love me". It is a strange phenomenon. Also, in proverbs there is a verse that says, "even a fool is considered wise if he keeps his mouth shut". Something like that. But it is true. The more you give a woman the more some of them will eventually be unimpressed or just simply tired of you. That's why the strong silent type of man is the most desirable.
I love my husband and value his opinions. Sometimes though their impulsiveness keeps them from really seeing the long term. A lot of dudes get rubbed the wrong way by the idea that they should be quieter but they literally live happier, cleaner, healthier lives with us. Like when y'all were loud and single you could t manage to stay stocked up on dishes or toilet paper now you eat good and things smell nice. Just be quiet 😂
@@anarchist_parable they would also live happier healthier lives with you if they weren't punished for talking though. You're basically saying, being punished and having to repress who you are to be with a fragile creature is better than being alone lol. So basically, you're saying a womans effect in a man's life is better than a void... you literally couldn't set the bar lower and still exist.
"I was actually sober for 15 years.....then I turned 16." ;-')) She's soooooo funny! I love her marriage comments--- i've been married 40 years and her "advice" is correct. Silence (and smiles) are the key......
I went to NY last summer and on my way home from vacation, this man in a gas station genuenly smiled at me. Like he was so happy to be alive and to see me in front of him. It was the best part of my trip.
Make a nice day. Rather than "have a nice day" which implies that it randomly comes your way, there's nothing you can do about it, catch it if you can, and nobody is listening anyway. Make a nice day reminds us that we have the power to make for ourselves a nice day. It reminds us that we can make the day nicer for other people. It reminds me that commenting on comments in a Ewetub video is not profound. (Back, Darkness! Back!) Someone smiled at you, and your heart giggled. Thank you for passing it on.
My father was in the hospital, in advanced stages of Alzheimer’s, in literally the last hours of his life. My brother called Mom to check in on them . . . Mom: “Well, Dad’s been fairly unresponsive today. I’m sitting here reading, and he’s just laying in bed.” Dad [without opening eyes]: “Lying.” We miss him terribly, but I still crack up every time I remember this.
It is profoundly uplifting with joy and sadness when those moments are given to you. My dad was in same position and was able to smile and mumble "love you" to his sons on the phone. Happy father's day dad
That is freakin hilarious no matter which way you look at it! Was he correcting her grammar or calling her a liar? That’s the only funny thing, I mean. I’m very sorry for your loss.
As someone who deals with depression on a daily basis I appreciate your style of comedy because, I don't need a pill for depression... I just need a break from the B.S. of daily life.. thank you
As someone with pretty severe depression, this is how my brain constantly sounded before meds. It’s a bit of a slippery slope so I hope you’re doing well.
The first bit about being ten years behind on how we feel about ourselves is from a much older adage about appreciating one's youth while it's happening. No matter how you slice it, that's good advice.
• For “old” people: I could have been young for the past 10 years but I keep saying I’m old. • For “young” people: When you wait for your life to start, your life has already started. • No matter whether you are “old” or “young”, be present, live the life now, appreciate it, enjoy it, instead of moaning about the loss of youth or longing for the excitement of future. • I realized this recently when I happened to browse some ten-year old pictures. I was surprised that I was younger, slimmer, and better looking. I started to feel quite depressed. Then a light bulb moment happened: I realized that I am only getting older. Instead of pining over the younger, slimmer, better looking version of myself and feeling depressed after another ten years, I should realize that NOW I am this better version than the ten-year later version, so I should appreciate it now.
plus you can always hit the gym and get some face cream or whatever and its fine! I sometimes feel worse about getting old and my discs in my back annoy the piss out of me but I am still improving even physically. If you just dont let go in the first place and use moderation its not THAT hard to stay young and good looking in the 30s and 40s.
35. Just started putting my bed on a metal frame. It sits a little higher so now I feel a little less like I'm already in the ground. Headboard is goals.
I realized that I wasn't old, when a 72 year old doctor I knew, told us he wanted to get home, so he could get a few hours sleep before he got up at 5 a.m. to go flying in his glider. Then he had a tee off time at 2 p.m. that afternoon. After he left, we realized that at 72, he was younger than we were..... and we were in our thirties. You're not old until you start acting like you are.
I have a family friend in his late 70s or early 80s by now. He makes furniture out of wine barrels like coffee tables and rocking chairs. He easily looks 55-60. His biggest advice? Never stop moving
@@anthonymoring7061 It helps to live healthy too. I'm in my mid 60s and recently reunited with 3 friends I've known since high school. These guys kept partying long after I stopped and now ...one has diabetes, one has the beginnings of Parkinson's , and the other has to have both knees replaced. They all use Cpap machines and take various medications. I never thought of myself as being all that healthy , but after seeing those guys, I thanked God for blessing me with the life I've had.
I'm 67, and on Saturday I hiked for six hours up and down a trackless steep bush-clad hill. Yesterday I explored another mountain for four hours and had a wonderful time, calling my friend and asking instructions on how to descend. I also have two Club Feet (Bilateral Talipes.) "Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." Helen Keller.
When she said "no we just realized that stuff wasn't really ever fun" that is so ridiculously true. Some us us realize it earlier than others. Some never realize it until it's too late, and they realize they trapped themselves and a lifetime of destruction and addiction pursuing the things that were never REALLY fun but society insisted were.
“ I just went back to bed and I think that’s winning now” I have a seven month old and five year old. I have had about 3-4 hours of nonconsecutive hours of sleep a night for about 4 nights now. I think your winning too right now!
I thoroughly enjoyed her comedy. She's very intuitive. Very clean content. Seems like a smart lady for being this spot on!. i'll be watching more of her youtube vlogs. Thank you Erica Rhodes. Good luck to you!
Being a 41-year old single male that stopped dating about 5 years ago, this was one of the most relatable acts i've ever seen.. all the way down to the tattoo vs. kids comparison (i have neither).. this was hilarious, thank you for posting it!
One of the things I have found is that people who aren't in relationships tend to think more. Not saying we're smarter, but that more cognition is happening. If ya write it down, you can build on it, and when you see it all in one pile it looks amazing. Never mind it took a couple of years of rewrites to make a half hour of dialog. 300,000 people have watched this so far. A half hour times 300,000 equals 150,000 hours. 150,000 hours is 6,250 days. That works out to seventeen years. Which means I'm not in a relationship either.
@@geraldfrost4710 what i really enjoy is that nobody asks you why you "waste" your time with what you deem important for yourself.. i use up a lot of my time for self-improvement.. let it be various types of sports, or learning musical instruments, taking online astrophysics classes or sometimes just finding the best way how to nap on my couch on a Thursday afternoon.. and when i then meet with friends, they're always quite surprised about all the various things i have been doing - at quite good levels - because i like to put time into what makes me happy (and i do all those things not to impress others, but for my own pleasure), while they tell me stories how their kids shat all over them.. in those cases i feel like i picked the better side.
@@cdh79 The other side is that I have a picture of my daughter when she was nine feeding a baby deer in a friend's back yard. That's the background for my computer. There's always some good. And then there's screaming fits over, well, it's hard to tell what a teenage girl is upset about; mostly she's just upset and you're there. "I feed you, I clothe you, I shelter you, I protect you, and you're mad at me? What are you? A woman in training?" And my ex is yelling at me, "don't harass my daughter!" There were some beautiful moments. And now I have some peaceful moments.
@@geraldfrost4710 oh, i fully understand that there must be some amazing moments as well, no doubt about that.. as you said however, there can be ungrateful moments as well.. and in relationships, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't, for whatever reason.. my desktop background is a picture of "IC443" the "jellyfish nebula" which is a supernova-remnant (the leftovers of an exploded star), that i took myself after spending hours in the freezing cold at night.. such images to me illustrate how small our planet and solar system - and humanity in general - is in the course of time and space, and how all of our biggest problems, actually don't matter at all in the grand scheme of things.. so i learned to just enjoy my time here and try to be happy and not take life (and myself) too seriously, because we're not getting out alive anyways :)
@@cdh79 "Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer to the end you get, the faster it goes." Good luck with the space photography. I suggest warm summer night constellations and nebulae. I like heavenly bodies, but then they talk too much and want to re-arrange the furniture.
Holy fk !! At 66 (and a half) I nearly inhaled my lettuce on the "... because you still think you matter" line.. Thank you for big laughter. Also Wow massive talent. Brilliant! 🐎
I just laugh at 20% of it. the rest is I think it twice and realize she's just let it out her story and get the therapy sessions done completely in 38 minute, dang! genius. Love her ❤️
All you have to do is tap on the video so that the red line has a red dot on the right side. Drag the red dot to a commercial and let go. Repeat for as many commercials as there are. Commercials well then go away. Drag the red dot back to the beginning and enjoy your show uninterrupted and totally free.
Or get the red dot/line to end as if you watched it. You'll see what looks like a road warning sign of very sharp curve ahead. Tap it & you'll be taken right to the beginning, commercial free.
Swearing has nothing to do with it. There are great comedians that do or dont. It really doesnt matter. Its you're fucked up beliefs that stop you from listening to outstanding comedians who swear.
@@staceystrukel1917 No not beliefs I like a lot of comedians both that swear an clean, but there is a line you cross when you use too much swearing or certain words that really don't need to be said to make a joke funny. This has been stated my many famous comedians, not just myself. I love comedians from Bob Hope all the way up to Fluffy.
It's a bit dark but not in that way some comedians do, that's barely even comedy, just depressing, like Doug Stanhope, or _Stanhopeless._ It's quite funny.
The best comedy routine I've heard in a while (and I watch a lot of the videos from this channel). I especially loved the wheelchair humor segment. Being in a wheelchair myself, it's fun to hear good jokes about wheelchairs.
I'd love her to do my "I'm not here, leave a message." "Mr Frost isn't in. His acting career has taken off, and his valuable time is being spent with other highly paid actors. I will be going through his many messages for him. If you need his agent, you know who to call. If you claim to be his parents, he's been an orphan for decades. If you wish to file a paternity claim, he's gay. If you are a 300 pound angry bleach blonde, the child support check is in the mail. If you are a robo call, you've already timed out. He does not need insurance, and his stock portfolio is well managed. I'm not sure what you want, but if you think you have a chance in hell, Please leave a message. Make it good."
She's wonderful. Clean, trendy, and not over-hyperbolizing. Well done Erica. I also got out of LA. Perhaps one day I'll return. Cheers to anybody reading this. Make someone laugh!
Glad that I found a female comedian with 90% similar mindset, hahaha... A few months ago my bestfriend turned 40 and posted "life begins at 40" in her social media...I texted her that "life begins at birth, but wisdom probably begins at 40." LoL. I like this comedienne. Smart, wise, cute, funny, and clean...hope to see her again make it big!!! 🤣👍
As a bachelor i had over a dozen towels...... Now that i'm married, we have 6 towels........... The average number of clean towels has increased significantly tho.
Love her brain, sophisticated humor and.. her, as the most beautiful woman in this context. ❤ if I wasn’t passing 50 and and stuck in Eastern Europe with my two beautiful teenage daughters - I would hit the road to US and make a love confession 🥸🙄😂. However, it’s a sad truth that the most brilliant people with more baggage than the others are usually lonely in this life…
A 92-year-old fellow I knew was bemoaning his age and how unfair it was that health issues were slowing him down. I told him that by the time my father was the same age as this fellow, he'd already been dead for twelve years.
@@mjollnir9075 wadya mean nothing positive in her life, her voice is chipper, good timing, and doesn’t care about status quo idea of happiness. Because she is correct happiness is in the simple reflections on the true absurdities of life. ex:”If you think there are important parts of catfish” the ending was funny as all get out!
I find it interesting when comics talk about "waiting for life to start". I realized during high school that the race of life was going to start soon because "everyone" was talking about college. It turns out that some people realized much earlier that the starting gun sounded. And while we all run our own race, there's no way to catch up to a peer who started running 10 years sooner. Find yourself, point yourself in a direction and begin your journey. Life isn't about waiting for life to happen. It's about living.
You can catch up when you realize there are no rules, just mental handicaps. My parents un-schooled me. I had a 4th grade equivalent education when I moved out of my parents house. It was a mentally destructive environment. Within 2 years I was earning $100,000 by working 72hrs, 6 days a week, $21/hr. Was not happy at that time, but I was on my own, and money was not an issue. Now I see the path is to make money from various streams, all of which originate in my own creativity: Sell eBooks, develop businesses that can stand on their own feet. E.g. hire people smarter than me. And invest every penny I can squeeze out of my job and side gigs, and put money to work in tax-advantaged accounts such as 401(k), Self Directed IRA, etc. Most people don't start doing this until their 30s, but I started at 21.
First female comic I've loved in a long time! There have been greats, don't get me wrong, just not for what feels like an eternity! And her voice makes me laugh, because it's just so unique. Also, thank everything good on the Internet for a female comic that doesn't spend the whole time talking about pregnancy.
I just turned 30. And she's right. Yeah, I don't have a husband, a house, kids, bad credit. But the bright side is that I don't have a husband, a house, kids and bad credit. You start to appreciate the little things in life.
Indiegirl007 I have the kid, took the house and after I kicked him out and loaded it up with 12 cats...even took the dogs. He’s got the old mattress. So I guess I win.😂😂😂
So true. Dad & Mom just finished painting whole house (vaulted ceilings and all). Dad: last stroke walking off ladder. Mom: I don't like the color. Dad: well...let's go pick out a new color. 37 years R.I.P. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD
It's not that 20-year-olds in particular don't matter, it's that none of us matter, and the 20-year-olds still haven't figured out that they're not special, they aren't going to accomplish much or do anything extraordinary with their lives, that they're just going to shuffle through another 50, 60 years of miserable mediocrity and then die. The 20-y-olds still have this naive hope that they'll have a great life, is her point.
Wow thanks there dr. Phil I'm glad you explained it I would have been totally lost unless you would have given us that lengthy explanation of what was totally obvious
That reminds me of an interview with pink. She was watching a video of herself from 10yrs earlier, she said, "wow I looked great in that video, but I remember how shitty I felt about my weight that day, why the hell do we constantly trash ourselves when we are actually pretty awesome".
"what I realized is.. people just don't care. They don't care what you're doing". That is something a lot of people with certain kinds of mental health need to hear
Okay, she hits a speed bump here and there. Please, just hang in there! This is really, really clever. She comes out of nowhere with some of the jokes. That's due, in part to her ability to lull you to sleep, figuratively. Erica almost distracts you, then fires off the punchline. I really enjoyed this. Thanks, Erica.
Erica is one of the funniest comics I've seen in awhile. Roy Wood Jr once said that he feels like comedy should be about 2 things: what you observe, and your thoughts. She nails this in such a profound way for my almost 40 year old self. Bravo! Can't wait to see you blow up girl!!!!
Actually...yeah. Men seem to be surprisingly intimidated by women who are anything more than a dingbat. If they can't own it n control it, they don't want it. Except...later...when they realize what they gave up...I guess...?
The crowd could've laughed harder at some of them gem of jokes. man I'm 41 and feel the same principles apply. she needs more recognition. just watch! shell hit the big time. just hope she doesn't follow the crew into politics when she does.
Erica has to be one of the best comedians I’ve enjoyed on this site! I can relate to everything she jokes about. I bet she will do quite well in Hollywood. Cheers! 😊💗
You could also realize, at the age of 10, that meaning has always been created in the eyes of the beholder. And fashion 80+ years of life full of meaning.
oh .. you never matter .. and 99.99% of mankind never will they'll just do some stuff that earns the food on the table and allows to go on vacation every now and then .. but that's it
Ms. Rhodes, you are so on point with SO MANY of your jokes. If you're ever in Portland, OR, I'd love to take you out. You seem like a prize to me. Funny, smart AND cute. Sign me up.

As an older guy, I am usually just happy when someone does not stare at me like I am a potential serial killer.

One of the things I have found is that people who aren't in relationships tend to think more. Not saying we're smarter, but that more cognition is happening. If ya write it down, you can build on it, and when you see it all in one pile it looks amazing. Never mind it took a couple of years of rewrites to make a half hour of dialog. 300,000 people have watched this so far. A half hour times 300,000 equals 150,000 hours. 150,000 hours is 6,250 days. That works out to seventeen years. Which means I'm not in a relationship either.
@@geraldfrost4710 what i really enjoy is that nobody asks you why you "waste" your time with what you deem important for yourself.. i use up a lot of my time for self-improvement.. let it be various types of sports, or learning musical instruments, taking online astrophysics classes or sometimes just finding the best way how to nap on my couch on a Thursday afternoon.. and when i then meet with friends, they're always quite surprised about all the various things i have been doing - at quite good levels - because i like to put time into what makes me happy (and i do all those things not to impress others, but for my own pleasure), while they tell me stories how their kids shat all over them.. in those cases i feel like i picked the better side.
@@cdh79 The other side is that I have a picture of my daughter when she was nine feeding a baby deer in a friend's back yard. That's the background for my computer. There's always some good. And then there's screaming fits over, well, it's hard to tell what a teenage girl is upset about; mostly she's just upset and you're there. "I feed you, I clothe you, I shelter you, I protect you, and you're mad at me? What are you? A woman in training?" And my ex is yelling at me, "don't harass my daughter!"
There were some beautiful moments. And now I have some peaceful moments.
@@geraldfrost4710 oh, i fully understand that there must be some amazing moments as well, no doubt about that.. as you said however, there can be ungrateful moments as well.. and in relationships, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't, for whatever reason..
my desktop background is a picture of "IC443" the "jellyfish nebula" which is a supernova-remnant (the leftovers of an exploded star), that i took myself after spending hours in the freezing cold at night.. such images to me illustrate how small our planet and solar system - and humanity in general - is in the course of time and space, and how all of our biggest problems, actually don't matter at all in the grand scheme of things.. so i learned to just enjoy my time here and try to be happy and not take life (and myself) too seriously, because we're not getting out alive anyways :)
@@cdh79 "Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer to the end you get, the faster it goes." Good luck with the space photography. I suggest warm summer night constellations and nebulae.
I like heavenly bodies, but then they talk too much and want to re-arrange the furniture.
Holy fk !! At 66 (and a half) I nearly inhaled my lettuce on the "... because you still think you matter" line.. Thank you for big laughter.
Also Wow massive talent. Brilliant! 🐎
she doesn't know that at some point, if you live long enough, you become totally INVISIBLE.
I just laugh at 20% of it. the rest is I think it twice and realize she's just let it out her story and get the therapy sessions done completely in 38 minute, dang! genius. Love her ❤️
That's the best therapy, only when she leaves the stage do the problems start again. Material for another show
agree!!!
Amazing talent to tell those long running jokes with grammar undertones. Funny on multiple levels!
I watched 4 minutes and had three commercial breaks. Thanks youtube you're just like the tv we left behind in the 80's .
All you have to do is tap on the video so that the red line has a red dot on the right side. Drag the red dot to a commercial and let go. Repeat for as many commercials as there are. Commercials well then go away. Drag the red dot back to the beginning and enjoy your show uninterrupted and totally free.
it's called RUclips Premium. Sorry everything in life isn't free for you.
Or get the red dot/line to end as if you watched it. You'll see what looks like a road warning sign of very sharp curve ahead. Tap it & you'll be taken right to the beginning, commercial free.
Just came across a show that had 5 parts, Criminally Listed, and none of them showed the white dots. I hope RUclips isn't moving to hiding the ads.
Ad free is well worth $12 a month
In addition to being hilarious, she's very clever with the word play. I like that. You have to be smarter to do clean comedy.
Yeah I agree I lose respect when comedians do HahA sEx=fUnNy
Swearing has nothing to do with it. There are great comedians that do or dont. It really doesnt matter. Its you're fucked up beliefs that stop you from listening to outstanding comedians who swear.
I seriously doubt you have to be "smarter" to do clean comedy. In fact, I'm positive you're wrong about that.
Agreed, some excellent wordplay and you get the impression from her intelligence that she really did have those arguments with people in the past 🙂
@@staceystrukel1917 No not beliefs I like a lot of comedians both that swear an clean, but there is a line you cross when you use too much swearing or certain words that really don't need to be said to make a joke funny. This has been stated my many famous comedians, not just myself. I love comedians from Bob Hope all the way up to Fluffy.
This was sorta dark. I like her 😁
It's a bit dark but not in that way some comedians do, that's barely even comedy, just depressing, like Doug Stanhope, or _Stanhopeless._ It's quite funny.
Dark...and PERKY
@@goudagirl6095 that's a weird combo. But true
Absolutely she is fantastic I enjoy every word 😊😀😂😂😂🤭🙊
Seen her on bring the funny ,like her comedy style and shes beautiful
Going back to bed is always winning!
One of the smartest, most grammatically correct, realest blond girl from LA. Thanks for the great act!
That first bit about being old and really old was beautiful and genius and I don't know why it didn't get more of a reaction and applause.
Too many "yutes" in the audience. Perhaps too high brow and just went over their collective heads.
@@johnnguyen1250 yutes 😆👍🏼
First bit was amazing she hit the nail on the head
They might have reacted more if it wasn't the first bit.
(53SM)Too many college kids, not many octogenarians. lol
😅🤣👏🌟
🐾🐺🐾
The best comedy routine I've heard in a while (and I watch a lot of the videos from this channel). I especially loved the wheelchair humor segment. Being in a wheelchair myself, it's fun to hear good jokes about wheelchairs.
Ya she was really smart and pretty.
Yeah...wheelchair bit and hook hands...very funny!
🥰
James,. You sir are in the top 10 percent. Made my day 👑
Solid routine... looked her up on IMDB and was surprised she's not a voice actress... seems like she'd do some good ones. Liked her stuff.
Sounds kinda like maria bamford
I'd love her to do my "I'm not here, leave a message."
"Mr Frost isn't in. His acting career has taken off, and his valuable time is being spent with other highly paid actors. I will be going through his many messages for him. If you need his agent, you know who to call. If you claim to be his parents, he's been an orphan for decades. If you wish to file a paternity claim, he's gay. If you are a 300 pound angry bleach blonde, the child support check is in the mail. If you are a robo call, you've already timed out. He does not need insurance, and his stock portfolio is well managed. I'm not sure what you want, but if you think you have a chance in hell, Please leave a message. Make it good."
She should!!! I'm sure video acting would be a plus with her in it as well!!
Finding Nemo level voice for sure
She's wonderful. Clean, trendy, and not over-hyperbolizing. Well done Erica. I also got out of LA. Perhaps one day I'll return. Cheers to anybody reading this. Make someone laugh!
"it was never fun. we just pretended this whole time." :D :D So true!
Glad that I found a female comedian with 90% similar mindset, hahaha...
A few months ago my bestfriend turned 40 and posted "life begins at 40" in her social media...I texted her that "life begins at birth, but wisdom probably begins at 40." LoL.
I like this comedienne. Smart, wise, cute, funny, and clean...hope to see her again make it big!!! 🤣👍
WONDERFUL! Man i love smart ladies and funny ladies. This Ms. Rhodes is brilliant, charming and talented, and made my day:)
She makes me feel like I'm killin it just for having more than one towel
I think she means his/hers towels. Maybe not though.
Right, I have like 6. I'm rich in towels lol
Lol me too!!
She confirms the thought that I already had, that I was a sucker for buying a house with a yard that I have to mow constantly for nine months a year
As a bachelor i had over a dozen towels......
Now that i'm married, we have 6 towels...........
The average number of clean towels has increased significantly tho.
Love her brain, sophisticated humor and.. her, as the most beautiful woman in this context. ❤ if I wasn’t passing 50 and and stuck in Eastern Europe with my two beautiful teenage daughters - I would hit the road to US and make a love confession 🥸🙄😂. However, it’s a sad truth that the most brilliant people with more baggage than the others are usually lonely in this life…
A 92-year-old fellow I knew was bemoaning his age and how unfair it was that health issues were slowing him down. I told him that by the time my father was the same age as this fellow, he'd already been dead for twelve years.
Amazing! I absolutely loved her act.
I find her depressing commentary strangely comforting. Erica's comic timing is impeccable.
9
And I just found her depressing. She sounded to me like a somewhat bitter unhappy woman with nothing positive in her Life.
@@mjollnir9075 wadya mean nothing positive in her life, her voice is chipper, good timing, and doesn’t care about status quo idea of happiness. Because she is correct happiness is in the simple reflections on the true absurdities of life. ex:”If you think there are important parts of catfish” the ending was funny as all get out!
Agreed. She gives me a Norm MacDonald vibe.
Who closes their show with a grammar joke? Balls.
@ Felix- a comedian with higher intelligence than a lot of them out there, that's who. Guess you would have preferred a fart joke instead, huh?
Loved this. She's funny but also a bit sad, which is the best kind of humor IMHO.
I find it interesting when comics talk about "waiting for life to start". I realized during high school that the race of life was going to start soon because "everyone" was talking about college. It turns out that some people realized much earlier that the starting gun sounded. And while we all run our own race, there's no way to catch up to a peer who started running 10 years sooner. Find yourself, point yourself in a direction and begin your journey. Life isn't about waiting for life to happen. It's about living.
We all live different lengths and have different roads. Everyone is running a time trial and we aren't racing in a marathon.
You can catch up when you realize there are no rules, just mental handicaps.
My parents un-schooled me. I had a 4th grade equivalent education when I moved out of my parents house. It was a mentally destructive environment. Within 2 years I was earning $100,000 by working 72hrs, 6 days a week, $21/hr. Was not happy at that time, but I was on my own, and money was not an issue.
Now I see the path is to make money from various streams, all of which originate in my own creativity: Sell eBooks, develop businesses that can stand on their own feet. E.g. hire people smarter than me. And invest every penny I can squeeze out of my job and side gigs, and put money to work in tax-advantaged accounts such as 401(k), Self Directed IRA, etc.
Most people don't start doing this until their 30s, but I started at 21.
Erica is brilliant and makes me laugh out loud. So refreshing to hear the truth told so well.
Like the negative version of kristen bell, freakin loved it
She does look like kristen bell!!!
She's Kristen Bell's character in "The Good Place" 🤣
@@user-cl6uj5bn2fomg correct
First female comic I've loved in a long time! There have been greats, don't get me wrong, just not for what feels like an eternity! And her voice makes me laugh, because it's just so unique. Also, thank everything good on the Internet for a female comic that doesn't spend the whole time talking about pregnancy.
Some, even trying to be clean, obsess over sex.
You don’t like Ali Wong?
Erica is hysterical. Laughed out loud the entire show
Awesome stuff Erica lmao 🤣…. Killin it. So true 👍
Perfect New York pizza date joke! 😂😂😂
I had misconceptions about her! I feel ashamed for judging her before listening to her! She is really good!
If you didn't tell us, we would never have known... ;)
Because she is a blonde?
@@williamjoyner3759 it’s Most likely because she’s a girl
@@idk-uv7mts both because she's a girl and blonde AND i'd like to add pretty.
I just turned 30. And she's right. Yeah, I don't have a husband, a house, kids, bad credit. But the bright side is that I don't have a husband, a house, kids and bad credit. You start to appreciate the little things in life.
Indiegirl007 I have the kid, took the house and after I kicked him out and loaded it up with 12 cats...even took the dogs. He’s got the old mattress.
So I guess I win.😂😂😂
@@Ainaes-Feline
So you are a comedian huh?
At 37 i found love and debt.
Now 43 working out debt for another 20 years. .....
Well...that sounds really good. Till you turn 50. Then you're just creepy. I know. I'm there.
im 41 single no kids and love it great job and a small business plus i have fun.
So true.
Dad & Mom just finished painting whole house (vaulted ceilings and all).
Dad: last stroke walking off ladder.
Mom: I don't like the color.
Dad: well...let's go pick out a new color.
37 years
R.I.P. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD
LMAO! That's AWESOME.
Not exaggerating this special changed my whole outlook on life❤love you Erica
Wow a great discovery for me today!! Thankyou
I own two towels. I must have made it. Feels good 😄
I’m 34, and I even felt “20 year olds don’t matter,” WHEN I WAS 20 LoL... It’s true!
It's not that 20-year-olds in particular don't matter, it's that none of us matter, and the 20-year-olds still haven't figured out that they're not special, they aren't going to accomplish much or do anything extraordinary with their lives, that they're just going to shuffle through another 50, 60 years of miserable mediocrity and then die. The 20-y-olds still have this naive hope that they'll have a great life, is her point.
Wow thanks there dr. Phil I'm glad you explained it I would have been totally lost unless you would have given us that lengthy explanation of what was totally obvious
@@woodstock4062 You're welcome. I know not everyone can be as sharp as I am.
@@woodstock4062 clearly it wasn't obvious to the original commenter. Relax.
@@austenhead5303 Is a great point
I kept saying I'm fat...after 10 years i'm finally chubby and regretted calling myself fat when i was actually fitter😄😅
Same
That reminds me of an interview with pink. She was watching a video of herself from 10yrs earlier, she said, "wow I looked great in that video, but I remember how shitty I felt about my weight that day, why the hell do we constantly trash ourselves when we are actually pretty awesome".
I was just thinking the exact same thing LOL I wish I was "fat" like I thought I was 20 years ago!
I saw a quote that said "I wish I was the weight I was when I first said I was fat" Haha 😄
@@BecauseILikeItThatsY 🤣😂 IKR! the irony..
A lovely lady with such a twisted mind! Love it.
Do you mean "Smart Mind"? She sees all of your "Twisted Mind" !!! LMFAO
“I am completely free to go back to bed.”
Yep. Nothing better than that.
Nope. That's the pinnacle of human existence.
Omg! I love this woman's take on things!
Omg the Filipino -I did not ask for your name joke -LOL
my FAVORITE😂😭😂
I got to this comment just as she was saying that. LMAO
Erica Rhodes very intelligent witty and humorous! I certainly watched it all and laughed for real!
"what I realized is.. people just don't care. They don't care what you're doing". That is something a lot of people with certain kinds of mental health need to hear
She basically tricked everybody into laughing themselves into a depression.
🤣
comedy and depression have always been tightly linked, both for speaker and audience
Joke's on her, I already was depressed before.
We laughed because it was all true
@@davidschwab8981 exhibit A: Robin Williams (bad childhood)
I'm never saying I'm old again!!!
Neither am I! I'm actually enjoying getting older and not anxious to return to my teens or twenties. Been there, done that.
I don’t say it either! They can make me grow chronologically older, but they can’t make me grow up! 🤪
Okay, she hits a speed bump here and there. Please, just hang in there!
This is really, really clever. She comes out of nowhere with some of the jokes. That's due, in part to her ability to lull you to sleep, figuratively. Erica almost distracts you, then fires off the punchline.
I really enjoyed this.
Thanks, Erica.
Love her style, timing, delivery. And her material is so real. Honest.
This is my favorite Drybar special EVER!! So hilarious! 😂
Erica is one of the funniest comics I've seen in awhile. Roy Wood Jr once said that he feels like comedy should be about 2 things: what you observe, and your thoughts. She nails this in such a profound way for my almost 40 year old self. Bravo! Can't wait to see you blow up girl!!!!
I think everyone has had at least one “Are we breaking up?” “I don’t know, are we?” Back and forth conversation 😆 this whole thing is relatable
That's exactly how it worked for me , now I am free
Her L.A. joke hit me hard. Lol. This is good comedy. A seamless connection of depression and laughter.
Actually looking and thinking of all that stuff and being able to go back to bed without any worries, is making it!
She’s my favorite girl comic of a dozen I’ve listened to here.
Omg how can she be so good and so single. This is class.
Because she's probably holding out for a guy that doesn't technically exist.
@@xtrachrisb488 haha, I totally forgot I posted that and your response is hilarious
sluggish at the start, but then she handles business. super nuanced.
I think she’s at her best with dart topics and on the fringe of dark humor
Thanks I was about to click off
“I’m Philip Pino” 😂😅🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That was the best delivery too right...
I absolutely lost it when she said that! It was excellent.
That was VERY enjoyable! I never heard of you before, and I'm glad I did. You are very funny, witty, charming, and quite the delight. Thank you Erica!
“Actually we both need to love you less” 😂😂😂😂
Does anyone really believe this intelligent, funny woman does not have men knocking down her door.
She's also quite attractive
Actually...yeah. Men seem to be surprisingly intimidated by women who are anything more than a dingbat. If they can't own it n control it, they don't want it. Except...later...when they realize what they gave up...I guess...?
Yes but in retrospect it wasn't very nice to call the SWAT team on her.

I can’t stop laughing about how when she makes it big, she’s gonna get a house with “all glass windows”
Actually, we both need to love you LESS... I have felt this in my bones!
she nailed the delivery on that 😆
Erica is incredibly funny. I laughed out loud more times than I can count for this special!
A very polished comic, with nice clean material. I bet she is hilarious in person; very dry, very clever.
The crowd could've laughed harder at some of them gem of jokes. man I'm 41 and feel the same principles apply. she needs more recognition. just watch! shell hit the big time. just hope she doesn't follow the crew into politics when she does.

You obvoiusly have a pretty low standard for comedy.
Can really feel your genuine spirit coming through! Thank you for being you! ❤️🌈🙌🏻
She's fantastic. So smart, and at the same time a little bit crazy.
This was a refreshingly nihilistic routine in places 😎
That minute or so from roughly 5:00 certainly sounds like winning to me 👍🏻
it kind of changes if you're prone to existential crises
you could realize you don't matter before 20
You could also realize, at the age of 10, that meaning has always been created in the eyes of the beholder. And fashion 80+ years of life full of meaning.
Nothing matters; everything matters.
"Prone" - even better than lie or lay!
oh .. you never matter .. and 99.99% of mankind never will they'll just do some stuff that earns the food on the table and allows to go on vacation every now and then .. but that's it
If you truly realized you didn't matter, you wouldn't have existential crises
She's witty and I enjoyed her word plays!
Ms. Rhodes, you are so on point with SO MANY of your jokes. If you're ever in Portland, OR, I'd love to take you out. You seem like a prize to me. Funny, smart AND cute. Sign me up.
Me watching this at 30 instead of taking a nap before we meet people for drinks even though we don't really feel like going anywhere but we feel obligated because we have a babysitter 🤣

Growing old sucks, but hey, we just have to make the best of it.
@tim walsh lol right? 31 is not old.
