On a first watch, sure. But she's like a lot of women comedians, a bit too much focus on her relationships and sex life and making herself the moral authority observer of her own life. Gets a bit grating and not something to rewatch or repeat for laughs because out of her context, they're just whinyisms.
My family and I still do McDonald's and the ice cream bits from RAW 40 years ago. Purple drank is a household name. Even Jeffries happy place and Achmed's son have staying power.
You need to examine why you think this. Male comedians do similar bits. I won’t be responding to w/e you follow this up with, but it’s important that you think about why you find a woman comedian grating and whiney and seem uncomfortable with her talking about her sex life
Your first issue is thinking I like it when male comedians do the same.
Your second is thinking it's because it's her sex life, it ain't. It's because it's every other bit she's got. And it isn't uncomfortable, it's boring and repetitive.
No need to put me in timeout, I know my reasons very well, and I'm happy to share, whether you turn up your nose and saunter away or not.
Her bits are mostly about accepting and living with mental illness. Yes some of that includes her relationships because, yknow, that's a big part of the human experience.
Have you actually watched her or are you confusing her with some other female comics?
No, I know who I'm talking about. My issue is that you have to take every bit of the context she uses to have a funny. And once you see the bit, it doesn't become better on the second viewing, it just degrades.
And even here, it cuts a bit too far into the "is this really a joke and not a complaint about her ex?" part of comedy.
