Im aussie. If I don't hear and feel the crunch, that means the game isn't over

In the South, we have a saying: You know you have problems when the roach wakes you up at night and says, "Hey, did you know we have ants?!" 😂😂😂❤❤❤ Love you, Angelah!

Australians meanwhile are watching this with snakes, spider, dropbears, crocodiles - curled up on the coach beside them, arguing about the remote and who gets to choose the movie on Netflix tonight.

Thank you, KZfaq, for randomly suggesting this comedy special. She’s so funny! 😂👍👏

I have a huge daddy long leg who lives in my shower I call Baxter. We coexist.

I adore her ... not a foul word out of her mouth. This woman is a real comedian. Her body language goes with her comedy. You go girl.!

I was in South Carolina on vacation and was busy putting food in the cabinet, I reached for the handle on the next cabinet door and it moved! This cockroach was at least four inches long and they fly. My friend threw a shoe at it and missed, I was like what are you thinking, you just gave it a weapon

This was such good comedy and it was clean. I am so impressed with your style and it is so refreshing to be able to see good clean comedians. Thank you so much.

She is a real professional. Has everyone eating out of her hands. Well done.

Hey those asparagus rubberbands are usable as replacement belts on most vacuum cleaners.

As a fellow Californian living in the South (Virginia) can attest this is 100% true!

74 year old black Vietnam veteran from Texas. She alright ! ❤ ☮️ & happiness. 😎🇺🇲

The call back at the ending is perfection.

The tornado part... I laughed so hard

I like it, when you can relate to everything, from the rubber bands to the tornado

KZfaq randomly suggested this video. It's my first time seeing Anjelah Johnson-Reyes. It won't be my last! I'm off to see the full special now.

Ma'am, thats not a basement - thats a storm shelter.

That has to be the driest, most perfect delivery of a last-second pay-off I've ever heard. She GOOD.

The whole tornado thing. You've gotta laugh 'cause "that's messed up."

"We're good, we can watch it from the front." 🤣😜

I've been a big fan since her Mad TV days. Funny and safe for the whole family to enjoy.

Omfg 😂 She’s the funniest person I’ve ever heard! 😅😂 I can’t quit laughing!

She is the best comedian hands down! ❤❤❤❤❤

Was probably a June bug hitting the window. Those things sounds like pebbles hitting the window.

The line about the asparagus rubber band had me laugh out loud, because those are great rubber bands and I save them!

Good clean comedy. Love it!

I live in Pa and I went to visit my sister who lives in N.C., Her son was off to college and I took his room. Well her hubby went to bed, she passed out on the couch so I went in to bed. I pulled the covers back and I completely lost it. I woke my sister up and we never did find the bug. It was a palmetto bug …it was Huge!

I’m a southerner and I WISH we had earthquakes instead of tornadoes. Just rode out three of them, no lie, last night. And yes I have slept through them before. And just to let people know, when there is a tornado, here’s what you need. A flashlight, your keys, your wallet or purse, shoes if you’re not wearing any, a jacket, a spare water bottle, a helmet (for each of the kids), and any firearms you own.

I haven’t laughed so hard in years! I had to keep backing up the video because I was losing it! Great performance! Rubber bands? What about the lifetime supply of twist ties? I need to stop but who knows when they’ll come in handy? Might have some rubber bands… lol It’s like I am become my Grandma!

I’m totally in stitches!! I can relate to the junk drawer. Her voice makes it all more hilarious.

Asparagus rubber on ur smooth wallet keeps it from sliding out of ur pocket by a pick-pocket. Happier vacations, y'all. God, I love her & will be watching more!

A tornado can lift the trailer (of a tractor trailer) high into the air and float it around like it was an empty cardboard box. And then drop it.

She's come a long way from "Beautiful nail. Just one"

My Uncle Jr., lord love him. Years ago, a tornado came through downtown Nashville into East Nashville. He told me he walked outside, into his front yard and was watching the tornado going through his neighborhood. He finally decided to go in when the tornado tore his neighbors tree out of the ground.

Nashville geography… that so funnnny… she is the best… my favorite

Anjelah Johnson is hilarious is this special. I watched all of this bit and her full special is also available on 800 Pound and it's over an hour long. 1:14:.. Her timing, physical movement, use of the stage space, different voices, flow of material and complete mastery of the memorization of her material are spectacular. I've not seen this from anyone else but long term well known comedians. Clearly, she'll be around. Go and see her if she comes to town where you are. 👍👍✨⭐✨❤️😂

Oh, my gosh! You are a breath of fresh air! I'm from the Midwest, Southern Educated, and was in Los Angeles for eight years before moving back to North Carolina. I've seen twisters and been through earthquakes. And Anjelah, being in the South from LA, Great White Sharks are spotted off the Carolinas as often as in LA or Orange County!

Absolutely hysterical!!😂😂😂😂😂

Here in Oklahoma we get earthquakes and tornadoes. When we hear thunder and a little shaking we just had an earthquake. When we have thunder and lightning in a rain storm, if the wind is high, we start looking outside for a tornado only if the sirens go off.

We have spiders like that in Australia too. They're usually called Fred or George.

8:22 I'm from Kansas. Can confirm on her husbands reaction.

Im moving to Mississippi in 3 weeks. Been there a few times already...tornado warnings, bugs and spiders..BIG ones..She nailed it 😂

We lived in FL and the critters were out of hand. Before we moved there I made my husband promise to kill any bug I ask him to and he wouldn’t make fun of me. As a west coast girl myself I also prefer quakes as my natural disaster. Hurricanes were no fun. Glad to be back on the west coast.

She had me in stitches (until I lost count) and this is the first time I have seen her! 😅😊😂👏👍 Edit: • Realised I did see her before (the Vietnamese Nail Salon skit long time ago) like 10+ years younger and I didn't realise/recognise her now until I clicked on her other videos which brought me back to the old one and I was like, that's her? Wow it's the same person (but more matured, married, and better!) 😄

You are BEYOND WONDERFUL!!!

Oh girl, having lived in KY my entire life; am LMAO over the tornado experience.. Its so damn true: i also have that dang junk draw in my Kitchen, with helva rubberbands..

She's a class act! Very talented and funny.

I hve 4 junk drawers and yes the best ones are the asparagus ones! Love ya crooked nail!

I live in the south. We went to a local festival that went pretty late, so we got home and went straight to bed. My son was three, still using the little potty on the floor, and needed someone to go with him to the bathroom. We're both half asleep, but he starts talking about a frog. I'm like no that's a leaf we must have brought back home. Big brown, like the size of his hand. Then i get closer bc I'm blind and not wearing my glasses. It was a giant cockroach. I had to just grab a cup and put it over it. Then wake up my husband. We are a catch and release home, but some things do not get to live and i could not be the one to do it. It truly was the size of a frog.

Richard was night stalker. He preyed on yellow houses. I lived in LA in a yellow house. Not too far from one of his victims. He bit them and my friends dad was a cop, he warned us to be careful at the store or dance clubs about a guy who had dark hair and crooked teeth. We didn’t know why back then. He couldn’t tell us much but once he was caught and we knew almost all his victims lived or were visiting yellow houses. Omfg we painted our house gray afterwards.

Anjelah is very, very funny. Great delivery, too. Fantastic stuff! 🤣🤣

be glad you dont live in a mobile home during a tornado warning, good times

That's why it's good to keep your basement or shelter prepped ahead of time with water, food, flashlights, blankets, a weather radio, entertainment for kids (as sometimes it can last hours), keep the phones charged...etc. That way you don't have to scramble for everything last minute. And pay attention to the weather alerts and radar to see where it is. You won't be able to see it if it's at night or if it's rain-wrapped, so the radar helps. We also prep our porch and yard ahead of time so shit doesn't blow away, and ALWAYS anchor your trampoline! 😂

Very funny, clean and relatable

Im from Kansas and the alarm means to run outside to take pictures. 😊

Funny and clean. Love it

My mother used to suck them up the vacuum cleaner. That is how you deal with the gigantic Aussie spider females and male legs (mid 1960’s). One evening (Now BC, Canada, late 1970’s) she threw the telephone book at one and told me she had killed it. Na-aa. It was still alive 19 hours later! It had been stuck under the book all night and most of the next day trying to get up and crawl out. Yup…vacuum cleaner deployed. Strangely, I am the only person on my mother’s side of the family that is NOT an arachnophobe. And I can’t claim adoption or a hospital mix-up because my mother had me at home. Now as an adult, I pick them up, mostly in a glass trap, sometimes without and chuck them out the kitchen window. Usually this was late at night and we were on the second floor. I used to wonder what would happen if someone was down below…but then the thought occurred that if they were looking in someone’s window…they deserve to have a spider thrown down on them…

My ex from Texas when her family came up north to meet my family the dad loved my parents basement. He couldn’t get over it. I can still remember the joy he showed with all the tools and storage we had down there. Loved that man.

We have ridiculously large wasps in the South. It's like dang! What the heck are y'all eating or drinking?

Watching this from Oklahoma 😂 where we really do go out and watch those tornadoes from the front lawn 🌪️

Girl, I live in Missouri and we get both tornadoes and earthquakes!

I live in Texas and when we get bad tornado-like weather (and as long as a tornado is NOT in my path) I like to play the movie "Twister" cuz the wind and the trees and the lightening and thunder makes for a GREAT surround sound accompanying the movie. .

She is hilarious!😂

We had a few tarantulas come into our home living in west TX. I’m terrified of spiders too, so that was fun.

This had me screeching. She's so funny!

Looking forward to hearing what she has to say after living through the 13 year cicadas that are currently starting to emerge.

The interesting thing is there are few houses with basements outside of the Midwest. Some areas have storm shelters outside like in "The Wizard of Oz". Head to the bathroom, which has reinforced walls with pipes in it.

Bubba had plans XD XD XD

Anjelah, how do you have a basement outside that needs a key? Sounds like WOOz!? I don’t understand! Haha! In GA, our basements are connected inside the house. This is a great special! Thank you for always giving us clean comedy! Brilliant!

My son went to a really great college in NYC. But the dorm building he was in was ancient and rooms the size of someone’s regular sized walk in closet with a tiny bathroom you had to shift around to move within. Every night he said this huge cockroach would come out of the drain in his sink to visit. He named it. He doesn’t have the heart to harm anything, so it would just visit the sink and leave. NYC. You’ve gotta love it.

She is so funny!

Hawaii’s Cane Spiders. I had to get the thick dictionary to kill that sucker because it was chasing me ALL over the room. And yes, I tried raid and the thing LAUGHED at me. So out came my extra thick dictionary. It crunched. My husband was useless. Totally useless.

Same thing. Until I hear the sirens, no worries. Once was taking shelter, and heard the freight train. Louder and louder. My heart pounding as I'm mentally preparing. Then just silence. Was the weirdest feeling of relief and panic.

A rare comedian who have quality not making any sexual jokes

Excellent work girl -

I've also become empathetic towards spiders. Odd😂❤i also apologize if I have no choice😂

Oh my gosh, I was laughing so hard. I have lived, only by God's Grace, through many tornadoes. One was where we were on the road and the tornado was coming down the highway. My mom tells us kids we are going into the ditch in our station wagon. While we were in the station wagon we could see cars getting picked up and thrown! We had no way of knowing where they went. When it was over, the cars that were in the big ditches like we were, seemed to be okay. I was only 4 and that was my first tornado...I had no clue where those other cars that stayed on the road went. Just was glad my family was okay. I know now that most people who stay in cars and are picked up by tornadoes, the people do not usually survive. Heck, if a semi-tractor trailer, fully-loaded, can be taken up by a tornado, and lest we forget homes as well, then we had a miracle that day on the road!

As a Honda Civic owner, I felt attacked 🥲

You are so funny! You needed windez and a stapler!

😂😂😂 Funny Lady...!

You can run from a tornado (go the other direction) but an earthquake is everywhere.

2:25 i say "I'm sorry I don't know what you are going to grow into" wham

You gotta save the broccoli rubber bands! You could use those to launch rocks like a slingshot orcas a fan belt on your car!🤣

Free is my love language 😂

LOL!!!!!! I'm a big new fan!

Tennessee isn't exactly tornado alley. In North Texas, there's a tornado warning in my area at least a dozen times every year. Doesn't really even matter what time of year it is. You get to where you pretty much ignore them. Until....that siren goes off. That means it's basically right on top of you. Then you run to the downstairs bathroom, hop in the tub, and cover up. Even though that's probably not going to do much good. Just luck of the draw after that.

Boy, do I relate to the rubber bands..We buy broccoli just for the bands! ! !

Oh, I forgot at the end she named the spider Bubba.😂 I expected the spider to say "Yo, homie. This is our house/crib."

Sooo funny laughing the whole way through

Hilarious 😂🥳👍🌷

great skits!!

Wow she killed it! You can tell she knew it too, knew she was killing it and the crowd was with her and she nailed the show.

Wait until she gets the creepy sounding EAS for it!!!!😂😂😂😂

I was born and raised in a northern state. I was also nonplussed by the size of the bugs when I moved to the South. I was like, damn!

Within a couple of days of moving from Ca to Tx, I experienced my first tornado warning. I was staying in a 5th wheel at a friend's till I found a place. We had gone to dinner and had just gotten back when the tornado warning hit. Every 15 minutes, my friend will call me to let me know we were still under a tornado warning. Then she called me to tell me her worker had tried to leave but the tornado was in front of him and he had to turn around and come back. No cellar, no storm shelter, her house was not anchered. The next day, we found out that the road we had been traveling on had been torn up, and 12 houses on either side of the road had had their roofs ripped of.

She's so cute😅

If you think spiders in Nashville are big, do NOT go to Florida. Also, basements are where the most spiders are. 🤣

RIP Bubba. He didn’t deserve that 💔

Yes

So funny!
