This isn't her only set on Conan. They keep bringing her back...and the audience reacts like this and they keep bringing her back. At least the producers know what's funny.
Her set is way too smart and so well made that most audiences wont even catch half of the jokes till days after, but that's ok , she is already one of the greats in this generation. Even if her popularity hasn't catched on with her level of quality yet.
Lol yeah. Or maybe...Maybe... Hear me out... She's just not that good? Edgy is not a substitute for funny. But of course, it's better for your ego if you assume that the audience was just too dumb for your jokes.
I just like it if a comedian is funny. If you're just getting claps instead of laughs then it's not funny, I get comedy is suggestive but if I need to think about the joke then it's not funny. I mean in the Joker movie the knock-knock joke is funnier than her whole set.

There's something quite sinister about it that really sticks in one's psyche. I started to get freaked out at being home alone after watching too many Dateline episodes. I started to get nervous about walking home alone after watching too many Without a Trace episodes. CSI episodes used to leave me with strange, gruesome thoughts. Since I stopped watching all of those shows, and focused on other things, those thoughts have left. That's why I see the correlation between violent video games, and those that go out, and commit offenses/ attacks. When a person habitually invites something into their mind, they become desensitized to it.
@@Hollins23 ,,, seriously?? you're gonna be another fact less person going against video games??? look at the countries who sell the most video games vs the gun deaths in the countries.. the US is number one in gun deaths but not even close in video game sales... the countries who have high game sales and low gun rates (japan) have extremely strict gun laws, as a gun owner i dont think we need japan level gun laws... but maybe we need something similar.. and better mental health acceptance
Combnation of really smart, insightful, clever analysis delivered as funny! She is really talented. Yay for the commodification of misery. Sell those tix.
True crime and teen horror flicks: stay out of basements, NEVER go outside to get into your car after dark, if you hear a weird sound in the woods, go the OTHER way, and if a young Republican with a loose cast on his arm asks for help loading something into his beater VW bug, RUN damn it. Just basically stay inside alone with the doors and windows locked watching true crime shows until you pass out in a pile of Cheetos crumbs and you'll be alright.
I noticed the ones that enjoyed the most were mainly men. As a woman, I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't help but to feel a bit horrified of how violence against women is so prevalent and look like a common thing. People dying by the hand of women are much less than by the hand of men.
Loved her first appearance on Conan and other things I found after watching it, and knew this had to be good coming in. Did not disappoint of course. Love her so much.
I was just at this show in the live studio audience in Burbank. Between Seann William Scott making jokes about how much he liked playing a serial killer and then this stand up set, yeah it got a bit awkward in the studio audience. The episode definitely had a weird serial killer theme.
@@robertb9830 By the way Robert, I finally just watched the full episode on TBS's website and it turns out they actually edited out the entire first 3-4 minutes of Conan and Seann's conversation including where Seann was making the awkward jokes about how much he likes being a serial killer. For anyone else reading, if you skip to right before the 10 minute mark in the full episode you'll see where the edit occurs. I don't remember exactly what he said live in the studio now but Robert can back me up that the jokes were uncomfortable. It was good times though!
It would have hit harder if it had any basis in truth. The cops had a very accurate sketch of Ted early on which they released to the papers, and were almost exclusively focused on his "type." Strangely, the sketch and profile were "white." The truth can be a bit harder to Yas Queen, so just ignore it. Slay gurl.
This act started out funny, but I'm not crazy about the show Indefensible into which she turned it. She goes to these notoriously "red" states and plays it off like it's the evil racist, misogynist, homophobic, biased right just letting murderers get away with terrible crimes. The problem is that's not what happened. People perceive Florida as a "battleground" state instead of just that place where nutters like Matt Gaetz and somebody like Governor Ron DeSatanist are run everything because there are THREE blue counties that have enough voters in them to make it seem like a potential flip. Guess which place she went to feature a case where a lefty defense attorney could find enough gullible "well, putting people in jail for life is just so mean if we don't have 100% certainty about state of mind being murderous" to get a not guilty!?! Yet Bundy would STILL be giving out celebrity interviews from prison out West if he hadn't gone to Florida at the end...literally! They threw Teddy boy a party that lit up the state when they faded him to black!
She drips with a feminist vibe. She is a product of a movement that no longer serves a purpose, American Women, especially the Caucasian variety, are some of the most privileged beings on the planet.

I won't argue that some of her material was smart but it certainly wasn't funny. there are plenty of smart stand up acts that get tons of laughs but this wasn't one of them.
Jena Friedman is the best! She interviewed John McAfee, and had a TV Series called 'Soft Focus with Jena Friedman' on Adult Swim and it's exactly what the world needs more of. Thank you Conan for elevating her! Jena, looking forward to what you do next!

Her comedy is funny and cerebral. a few of her jokes went over the audiences head, especially the Sliding doors Ted Cruz Joke.
that was so dark that i needed a flashlight. but I liked it.
The gasp actually made the joke funnier.
I was in that audience! I’m trying to listen for my laugh. To be fair my voice isn’t very loud, I’m told.

Daayyuummm. Spot on!!
Really? Police were looking for him for a looong time. They knew they were looking for a white guy all along
Yeah and that was stupid they were hunting him down and his profile was of a middle age white guy as most serial killers are 🙄
The cops were looking for a white guy though it literally says to look out for a 31 year old white man
@@erikwe83 That might be true, but Jena said that just for the sake of the cops joke.
Guys.. I think she meant that they weren't reeaally looking for him, as in that they didn't try hard enough. Maybe because he was white, who knows?
She does comedy like it’s slam poetry.
that's soo true
Wait 😂😂😂
RIGHT?!
I'd do her like slam poetry.
sooooo unfunny?
“What does that say about all the men outside of prison she would have dated but Ted Bundy was nicer to her?” Low key she has a point
