The faces and gestures that Lilly makes gives me second hand embarrassment.

"🤪" is just her entire punchline, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

it’s weird that she insulted virgins when her audience is mostly tweens

i know this is an old video, but it’s just so ironic that Lilly calls the people criticizing her virgins as an insult. i remember watching one of her vlogs years ago and she said herself that she was still a virgin (at least at the time) in her late twenties and went on about how it wasn’t a big deal or something to be ashamed about. it’s just so disgusting and sad that she’s gone back on that stance now just to snap back at people criticizing her and her show.

Lele Pons: "I'm Latina" Lilly Singh: "I'm not a white man"

I hated when she was like “You’ve written a book, I’ve written a book as well, I know how it is, it’s hard to write a book, I did it too”

Lilly: constantly reminds us that she's not a white man also Lilly: formats her show like all the white men

The funniest bits from Lily are when she imitates her family members. It was slapstick and over the top but it was relatable as a child of immigrants.

I'm not an angry virgin, I'm just a disappointed virgin.

Why am I so embarrassed, I’m not even the one doing the show

It’s interesting watching this after her interview with Anthony Padilla, where she fully admitted that she knew the jokes on her show weren’t funny and that she didn’t see herself being a TV host to begin with

Conan would actively shut up his employees saying he went to Harvard. He realized the guy that would introduce him would always say he went to Harvard, and then the audience would become much more skeptical of him and his jokes. Once the intro guy stopped that, laughs came a lot more easily for him. Lily should’ve learned from him and not be “wow I’m rich and have a mansion and am a celebrity”

My man spitting facts, call him True Gooden.

The reason why they’re laughing at the build up is cos they can’t differentiate the joke and the build up

coming back to this three years later and it still upsets me that she said the only vegetable she would eat is a tomato

"part 3: the third part" was funnier than her whole talk show

That pizza joke was literally a Tumblr post from like 3 years ago

Shes targeting the wrong audience - talk shows isnt her thing

To the point of bragging on camera about being famous, it only works if you do it ironically, in a self-deprecating way. Conan is the king of self-deprecating comedy, and this is why he's so endearing. He's miles richer and more popular and than Lilly, but he STILL plays the "look what a loser I am" card whenever he's on camera. It's always about how goofy he looks, or how comically tall he is, or how Irish he is, or he pretends to be a fake creep with his female guests.

I’m so happy someone finally said this. I remember years and years ago when my friend first showed me Lily Singh’s videos. She was totally mad about her. So was everyone else around me .I tried so much to understand what people like about her videos. They failed to even make me smile…. forget about laughing. I thought maybe I’m the one whose definition of funny was different 😂.I’m an Indian and I think the only reason she became that successful was because we Indians wanted a global influencer representing India . Wish it had been someone else.

So you’re trying to tell me drew... that Lily isn’t a white man. That’s about as believable as you and Danny “not” being the same person.

Lele: "I'm Latina" Lilly: "I'm Indian"

Drew is so well spoken like seriously I love listening to him talk

It’s still so crazy to me that Drew posted this video 1 week before I started an internship for Lilly’s company, sometimes it feels like he lives inside my brain just poking around in all the mush

"He has no idea I dressed up as him" **Wears same color shirt*

Oh my god when she said ok bloomer and no one laughed I felt my soul leave

Lilly was my favorite KZfaq person in middle school. I hadn't watched her content in years and just recently went back to it this week. I actually fell out of watching her content before the late night show. Once she reached a certain point of success, I felt like her production quality skyrocketed but her actual content never evolved and it developed this insincere quality to it. And watching her videos now, they're not that funny, but I enjoy her videos before 2017ish because it felt like she was at least enjoying herself and she seemed likable. I feel like she lost that after she got more successful.

Have to rewatch this classic from time to time. Legitimately might be the greatest commentary video of all time

Lily talks about how much she isn’t a white man almost as much as Lele Pons talks about being Latina.

as an indian girl…. it makes me so sad that she is like our only representation for this type of tv stuff 😭😭

It's been three years from when I last watched anything from Lilly, and oh my God, this HURTS. It's like if the writers for Big Bang Theory and Buzzfeed came together to write for Amy Schumer, it's painfully bad.

Not to mention the set looks like a shitty, low budget, youtube series.

i used to like her content but im no longer 12 years old

I think the biggest problem (besides the whole identity jokes which got old fast0 is that the most successful late night show hosts worked on other shows and not as headliners. Guys like Meyers, Conan, Stewart all worked as joke writers and/or secondary characters. They had years of collaborative training to hone their skills so when they got their chance they knew how to work with the joke writers and find a unique voice without being overwhelmed.

I know this video is old but I was rewatching this and something I’d like to add is that Lilly being Indian (or just immigrant families in general (me coming from a Latin family)) has a little bit to do with her decisions making. Because when you come from immigrant parents they’re biggest wish is for their kids to become successful in the US. And honestly no matter how hard you try to explain, it’s very VERY hard to make an older generation understand modern media (KZfaq, twitch, etc. ) so if I was in her shoes and wanted to show my parents that I’m an “actual” famous celebrity not just some weirdo in my house with a high budget, I’d take that into consideration.

Ooh, a doc-drew-mentary.

That gesture after her Tesla “joke” may have been the cringiest, saddest thing I have ever seen.

12:49 - Conan didn't do a monologue about how rich & privileged he was. He did a skit where he acted like a nice boss and took the interns to dinner - where they only had free bread and water while he dined on a seafood tower. That was hilarious.

i feel like this show would’ve been more successful if they just made it a talk show for kids, cause i can’t think of anything that exists right now like that

you know her shows bad when i found the name Part Three: The Third Part funnier than any of her content

this show was just such a huge miss. her entire brand was built on her being relatable to kids, and yet they've given her a late night talk show where she just brags about how rich she is. like who is the target audience meant to be?

As a bisexual woman of color, we did not want Lily as our rep

I mainly come back to her older videos every now and then because they are generally fun and somewhat nostalgic to watch, especially as a South Asian myself. I think it’s best to stick to your strengths, nothing wrong with trying new things, but this wasn’t it for her

i just don’t understand who thought it was a good idea to give someone whose target audience is children a late night talk show like ?????

*BREAKING NEWS:* Lilly Singh might not be a white man.

It's so interesting to rewatch this after having seen her interview with Anthony Padilla. There was some great context provided there, I highly recommend it if anyone is interested in knowing a bit more about what happened behind the scenes

If there's any KZfaqr I'd give a TV show, it's Jacksepticeye. He's met and interviewed celebrities, he has a natural rapport and chemistry, and he's got the personality to carry his own segments too. Mind you, it still wouldn't be as good as his videos, because obviously it's a terrible idea no matter who you pick.

I’ve heard the same women’s laugh like 8 times

I read a comment on a video about her that said that "Lilly Singh is the personification of when corporations make their logos rainbow colored for pride month"

2 days ago I made the remark to myself that Mindy Kalling's ""humor"" on that dreadful Velma show reminded me of Lilly Singh thinking she's hillarious making white men the center of her "jokes", now this video is being recommended to me so I click on it to revisit this unfortunate era and there she is a minute into the video being bffs with Mindy....coincidence or conspiracy ? 😅

0:30 this is so funny now with Velma being out, lily and mindy both act the same and constantly talk about being women of color and muhhhh white man bad

She's like one of them cringy adults on Disney teen shows

"The golden snitch is the smallest in the game..." It's also worth the most points, so....

Someday, maybe, someone in-charge of a major network or film studio will realize: popularity on the internet does NOT equate to popularity off the internet. They can correlate positively, but absolutely do NOT equate.

It's interesting. I'm sure she didn't intend for it to be that way and was undoubtedly applying it to the people giving her 'hate', otherwise known as valid criticism, but that tweet.. "Imagine making a living by posting mean videos to KZfaq. _The downwards spiral, the bad energy, the karma, the entitlement, the lack of creativity, the waste of potential... young kids, don't follow this example. It's not good for the soul or the longevity of your career_ ." ..If you take out that first line, it's pretty remarkable how perfectly every word applies to her. If that first sentence wasn't there, someone could be forgiven for mistaking the rest as an overdue and honest reflection of herself, her show and her own actions.

She’s treating being poc as a personality trait

This just in: Audiences were offered edibles to *enhance* the experience.

She's a bisexual woman of colour, but you'd never know because she never, eeeveeeer mentions it.

sticking ur tongue out after every punchline isnt gonna make the joke funnier sis 😩

The way she dances after she says the joke makes me uncomfortable Here's some examples: 0:14 12:00 12:58 13:23

Drew's forte for self deprecatory humor allows him to provide a unique perspective on the egotism of youtubers. he's among the humblest youtubers to reach the level of success that he has

Lilly saying that everyone is TOO nice to her makes it sounds like she wants a bit of constructive criticism now and again in order to self improve. But then goes on to ignore any of the constructive criticism people online give her and called them angry virgins. Make it make sense

This has more structure and entertainment value than her show

She actually has the energy of an old white man

Today she pretty much blames the entire failure of that show on the writing and nothing more. If only the world bought that.

In light of recent events, im surprised her writers went on strike years before everyone else did

This is legitimately the most constructive feedback for her she needs to watch it. Hes very empathetic to her

i really don’t know why lily got a night show when she clearly appeals to children... i feel like she would have done better as a day time host if anything

awesome speech on ego, this type of thing really hits me and i feel like this would hit any artist. Its all about keeping yourself in perspective, it usually doesn’t work to just tell myself i’m not funny, reading my jokes does that for me, then i get discouraged, i’ll go to target, pretend not to see a homeless man, feel bad, give him all of the money in my wallet, now i’m homeless, and he has 5$.

A good KZfaqr who doesn't let his ego get to him is Markiplier. He's insanely successful, and while he likes to act egotistical in some of his videos, it's clear that it's just an act. He's super humble and down-to-earth and donates so much to charity.

“I’m starting to think that Lilly...might not be a white man.” Lmao.

okay but why is this the visual representation of a well structured essay

i miss when it was around 2016 and we were on a trip to unicorn island (her tour) and she was still original and funny.

Fun fact: originally laugh tracks were made to just slightly add more laughter, extend the laughing, or to get people to laugh at the right times. Not to just be the only laughing.

Writing jokes for children doesn’t work when your show is on past their bedtime

She’s doing kids comedy for adults

The laughs sounded faker than my smile when I’m talking to that one family member at the family reunion

What a great video damn . Your logic , understanding, and straight up realism is something we should all strive to obtain

Avoiding criticism by simply referring to it as "hate" is the most pathetic thing a person can do.

the little dances or whatever she’s trying to do honestly just gets on my nerves. it’s not funny

Once again, I'm amazed at Drew's ability to explain every point he makes so well. Hats off👒

one thing that doesnt seem to be mentioned here is that: Late night shows are for mostly adult audiences, young people do not stay up at midnight watching network TV Lilys jokes and humor on youtube are for a YOUNG audience, like most youtubers that aren't really funny to adults, the bombastic nature of costumes and sharp cuts and accents appeals to children, whose views on YT count for the same as adults but on a late night tv show, the 11 year old demographic is basically gone

Okay here me out. Lily’s show is planning to be canceled. It’s her last show. She walks on to stage and all do a sudden she takes of a mask and she’s actually. A straight white man.

She doesn’t really realize that her audience has grown up.

Did you see her interview with Anthony Padilla's channel? Thought it gave some insight on what went on behind the scenes with Lilly's show. It's changed my opinion of Lilly somewhat

this video came up on my rec about a year ago, it was my introduction to drew and im so glad

One issue is she has a primarily young audience. Like twelve thirteen year old girls. Not the sort of adults that would typically watch a late night show.

Making content for children isn't a bad thing. Kids need entertainment too!! She just has to accept that that's where her talents lay.

rewatching this years after and i got into dance gavin a year or 2 back and i immediately recognized that little transition with Care

I liked her KZfaq videos which were amazing and her ability to make relatable content about South Asian folks.

shes like a walking buzzfeed article

that bloomer joke at the start made me start thinking about what coffin i want

Why do I rewatch this every 3 months

I just saw this video in passing. I have no idea about most of the people your video was on but I found it really funny. Thanks dude!

when I heard that "ok bloomer" joke I had to step outside and see if life is really worth living

lilly: poopy buttcrack audience: HA HA HA

I am a virgin but I'm not angry.

I appreciate your wisdom and maturity. Learned a lot from this video. We must never take both compliments and criticisms too personally.

why does she even make fun of virgins? didn’t she say she was one until atleast 25 years old?

Lele pons: I'm Latina Lilly: I'm not a white man
