Clicking on stand-up comedy videos about transgender issues when you yourself are trans is like playing Russian roulette with five out of six chambers loaded, except one of the casings is stuffed with chocolate and confetti. Thank you, Joanie, for delivering the happy party bullet directly into my brain. I love wholesome comedy that also ruthlessly clowns on rich weirdos. Sharing with friends.
I hope it stays that way. Did not realize that people had experience with trans jokes only being abt transphobia. Like damn, why cant ppl be funny and be nice. :\ leave the trans ppl alone
@@lekswig3316 oof, sorry that happens to you. Fr, getting hurt once hurts forever. I hope you are feeling alright in your body. And that your transition goes/went welll. Well enough that you will be enough for yourself. Anyways, dont wanna put preassure on you. So I'm gonna put this fun little carnival at the end to remove some tensity. Hope it helps. 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊 🎈 🎈 🎈 🎈 🐐🐰🐯🐸🐢🐶
“That’s why I’m going to challenge every trans woman in America to a series of physical events The only rule is you have to compete against me, and I never lose” I can’t stress enough how much the bit encapsulates how cruel Jenner is being to other trans women irl
I was scared at the pronouns joke that this was just going to be spitting on trans people, but I was pleasantly surprised, thank you for this wonderful performance
This does explain why Caitlyn has been throwing a discus at the side of my house while screaming “I AM SUPERIOR” for months now (Also I love you guys for doing trans comedy that’s actually wholesome 🖤🖤🖤)
@@BlueBeetle1939 well sure that too. But comedy should be, first and foremost, politically correct. If it also happens to be funny, I guess that's fine.
@@ExoticMerle pretty good, I worked on my running, my javelin throwing, uhh, _i swear I worked on this thing where I'd push a boulder up a hill and it would just roll back down everytime_
It felt nice seeing actual good faith trans humour, and not just someone expressing their transphobia and hiding it behind the plausible deniability of "it's just a joke". BTW, I like the "shoulders of my own shoulders" line, because when someone gets super huge, it's like they develop another tiny set of shoulders on top of their shoulders. 😂
Have never really encountered any piece of media featuring the actual Caitlynn Jenner but I'm just assuming that this is an accurate representation of her HAHAHHAA
I was worried this was going to be mean-spirited, but while this is a charicature of a real person, (I don't know much about Caitlyn Jenner, so I don't know if this is accurate in any way. I'll look her up later), I'm glad I watched it, this was hilarious.
I'm completely for trans m-f entering sports as female. Yes, biology can mean that those born male develop in a way that would give them a benefit, but that is only one piece to that puzzle... And I hope I live to see the day when a trans m-f wins gold in male categories, because I will be sitting with a bucket of popcorn replaying the look on cis mens faces. 😂😂😂
The vast majority of humor relating to trans people resorts to petty, transphobic jabs. This, along with Family Guy’s band “The Trans Fats”, is a great example of why we say “majority” and not “all”.
Nice to see a trans person represented as a person. Caricature of herself, sure. But not a caricature of a trans person.
Well said!
This is such an important & specific difference. This is why wording matters. Great comment.
honestly!!
Well the jokes are directed at Caitlin herself and mocking her specific behavior and not mocking the trans community
@@silvercheetah92 that’s exactly what I said
"I stand on the shoulders of my own shoulders" is good but let's not forget "one thing I learned from that experience was two things"
The second line is such a simple joke, but i died laughing 😂
I nearly missed that second one.
"Can you believe it? I sure can!" was pretty great too
“But one thing I learned from that experience is two things” I’m so sorry but I’m stealing that
Me too 😂
I fucking died

Thank you for commenting this, I'm often too curious for my own good. Glad to read this vid won't be one of those times
Yeah, c'icking, on this video was fucking terrifying
Clicked and hit pause and headed for the comments just to check this.
in the same boat as everyone else thanks for the comment this was a really funny video :]

this comment section is young which probably explains it, but holy shit this place is so blessedly transphobia-free
I hope it stays that way. Did not realize that people had experience with trans jokes only being abt transphobia.

@@Miskamouskamikumouse fr.. im trans and whenever i see a big channel with humor on trans people or trans issues i wince
@@lekswig3316 oof, sorry that happens to you. Fr, getting hurt once hurts forever. I hope you are feeling alright in your body. And that your transition goes/went welll. Well enough that you will be enough for yourself.

Hell yeah
Too much theater kid energy for the phobics
Proof that you can make jokes relating to trans people without resorting to transphobia.
all the people who think today's society is too woke to take a joke just aren't smart enough to be funny anymore.
Tbf I would assume Joanie wouldn't resort to transphobia.
If you don't count the actual transphobic person named Caitlyn at the butt of the joke.
@@blazepetty6233 so u thought these “jokes” were funny🤦♂️yep the wokes truly have killed comedy
There you go. Humor can be funny without crossing a line
i love that she had all of caitlyn jenner’s mannerisms through the whole thing too. this was great
I saw that too. This was a very skilled impression.
The Chucky Cheese animatronic on crack vibe is very present
Oh wow, a comedy but about trans people in sports that was actually funny and not just mean-spirited? I didn't think it was possible!
Joanie's a pro, (I don't know Joanie's pronouns) knows which way to punch. This was delightful.
It helps that being trans isn’t the punchline. It also helps that the joke is around a specific person
[happy trans noises]
@@jenbdiamond she/her!
I want it to be a bit mean spirited ... just towards Caitlyn Jenner bc she sucks
When she said, "DO YOU HEAR ME GOD? IT'S ME AGAIN, CAITLYN" (4:49) the medal caught the light and glowed for the first and only time during the skit.
_I STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF MY OWN SHOULDERS_
Laughing from the bottom of my little trans heart. Thank you for this it’s simply beautiful
“But one thing I learned from that experience is two things” _fucking relatable h e l p_
“That’s why I’m going to challenge every trans woman in America to a series of physical events
The only rule is you have to compete against me, and I never lose”
I can’t stress enough how much the bit encapsulates how cruel Jenner is being to other trans women irl
FROM HERE ON OUT IT’S US VS US
Trans Twitter [sweats]
This has Breaking News “Jackie Chan’s gonna kick everyone’s ass” energy
“When was the last time you jumped isn’t a sentence I expected to fill me with such existential dread” time
I was scared at the pronouns joke that this was just going to be spitting on trans people, but I was pleasantly surprised, thank you for this wonderful performance
It helps that the actor is herself a trans woman.
This does explain why Caitlyn has been throwing a discus at the side of my house while screaming “I AM SUPERIOR” for months now
(Also I love you guys for doing trans comedy that’s actually wholesome 🖤🖤🖤)
If only Caitlyn Jenner truly was even this thoughtful and well-spoken on this issue.
Comedy about trans people that is not in any way degrading, is a wonderful thing! Thank you for this!
Props, to CharactersWelcome, for being consistent, with the progressivism, in their comedy!
And hilarious!
@@BlueBeetle1939 well sure that too. But comedy should be, first and foremost, politically correct. If it also happens to be funny, I guess that's fine.
@@austinveno6743 idk about politically correct but intentionally hurtful certainly isn't the move
If we can’t laugh at ourselves, we don’t know comedy!
Bro imagine all the transphobes that clicked but ended up getting a butt ton of positivity
Really captured her humbleness.
@Pleoryo and, of course, good sportsmanship ship
“I’m gonna poll volt over the entire cast of Pose!” is one of the best things I’ve ever heard
pole vault*
I think a lot of the commenters are missing the fact that Joanie herself is trans! So this is the height of trans comedy y'all, I love it 💜
Thanks for this comment- I had no idea what pronouns to use ! She’s hilarious
Brb sending this to my trans friend so she can prepare in a rocky-esque montage
Her non-wheaties-appearing arse is about to get BURNED in at least 5/7 types of jumping.
I feel like the way she was depicted as a self-centered mean one, is really accurate.
Proof that you can indeed do good comedy on sensitive topics without offending people or being hateful, props to characters welcome.
This was magical. And now to plow through all of Joanie's work, and also find a time proclaim "I stand on the shoulders of my own shoulders!"
I was worried it was gonna be transphobic for a sec. Went from °
Haha, same
ditto
glad it was a °v° type vid
“I’m gonna pole vault over the cast of Pose” left me gasping for breath
Joanie Drago is an unnamable emotional anomaly and I love her
Thank you for really seeing me.
This is my first time seeing Joanie and as a trans person, I am addicted to her now.
I clicked with hesitation, then laughed with tears. Well done.
THIS. The performer poked fun at a trans woman and made trans jokes WITHOUT being transphobic. These aging comedians need to take note!
Gals, it's time get our running shoes on.
_Tomorrow at dawn, Catie. I'm gonna whoop ya_
It is now tomorrow at dawn. How are things going bestie
@@ExoticMerle pretty good, I worked on my running, my javelin throwing, uhh,
_i swear I worked on this thing where I'd push a boulder up a hill and it would just roll back down everytime_
HOW DO THEY LITERALLY SOUND LIKE KAITLYN!? LIKE HOLY FUCK!
Joanie uses she/her pronouns :)
@@liriodendronlasianthus Thanks! I didn't know so I usually just default to the gender neutral they/them, ya know?
@@oshahott2532 A wise choice. I cheated and went to her twitter page. Apparently, 'hurricane' is also a valid pronoun, so go for it
@@liriodendronlasianthus yessss starkid
“The one thing I learned from experience was two things…” joke really made me chuckle 🙊
“It’s us vs. us, trans women vs. me”
Of course it would be Joanie Drago who’d have me laughing this hard in less then 5 mins 😂 this was amazing! So many clever lines 🙌🏼
It felt nice seeing actual good faith trans humour, and not just someone expressing their transphobia and hiding it behind the plausible deniability of "it's just a joke".
BTW, I like the "shoulders of my own shoulders" line, because when someone gets super huge, it's like they develop another tiny set of shoulders on top of their shoulders. 😂
I don't know why, but the guy at the end suddenly turning into a fucking siren was so hilarious to me for some reason
One of the funniest bits featuring trans people as a topic I've seen, gives me heavy Gayle/Chris Flemming vibes xD
the "one thing i learned from that experience was two things" bit caught me so off guard it took me like three seconds to realize what was said
If only Caitlyn Jenner herself was this wholesome. Thanks for the smile today though!
Ironic, because Caitlyn Jenner literally opposes trans women being in sports 🙃
"I got to do it, so no one gets to try!"
I was so scared this was going to be transphobic. I REALLY LOVE THIS!!!
Thank god for trans comedians
I'm not trans but that was the most motivational, amazing, funny thing i have ever seen
“As we’ve already established I am very, very fast.”
The ad that appeared for me before this trans topical video was "ways to get bigger balls".
Lolwut.
When she started naming other trans women it was so funny oh my god
Have never really encountered any piece of media featuring the actual Caitlynn Jenner but I'm just assuming that this is an accurate representation of her HAHAHHAA
😂😂😂😂😂 Making fun of Caitlyn is my favourite part of this community
Not enough criticism of her support for those bans on trans athletes
Eh. I'd say the satire is clear enough. The whole "trans woman vs trans woman" idea is itself a parody of transphobic sports legislation.
The reveal of the track shorts lmao
Hello other trans people in the comments, hope you're having a good day
Joanie is a gift. This is great.
The impression is spot on oh my gosh
Joanie, This is priceless! 🥰🌸
I absolutely love how funny and uplifting this was.
Sometimes I think my sense of humor sucks cause I don’t like jokes at the offence of someone, but then I realise that I’m not the only one ❤️
Cannot express how much I love this 🤣🤣🤣
Any fellow trans sportswomen around here? For some reason it gives me amazing euphoria
Oh shoot guys I missed the race, is it too late?
Joanie is great. All my trans homies (and my trans me) love Joanie.
I was worried this was going to be mean-spirited, but while this is a charicature of a real person, (I don't know much about Caitlyn Jenner, so I don't know if this is accurate in any way. I'll look her up later), I'm glad I watched it, this was hilarious.
The "over the cast of pose" line sent me!!!
Thank you, my nonbinary heart is simply aflutter, for this channel.
Remember kids! Good jokes always punch up!
stan Joanie omg
my god i love how they're doing that… lip… *thing* that she does.
I'm completely for trans m-f entering sports as female. Yes, biology can mean that those born male develop in a way that would give them a benefit, but that is only one piece to that puzzle...

This is INCREDIBLE!
omg i love her
The vast majority of humor relating to trans people resorts to petty, transphobic jabs.
This, along with Family Guy’s band “The Trans Fats”, is a great example of why we say “majority” and not “all”.
This was absolute gold
This aged well.
"the one thing i learned from that experience was two things" gold.
POLE VAULT OVER THE CAST OF POSE DHDGSHGE
Idk why I thought this was a Ted talk before I what channel it was on lmfao
Fact check, Caitlyn Jenner doesn't actually support trans girls in sports.
This is still one of the funniest fucking characters I’ve seen
... ... ...surprisingly inspiring.
this comment section is a mess
Excellent sketch!
"I stand on the shoulders of my own shoulders"
She is the ouroboros of giants
#TransRights
This was lovely
It really was. I was SO afraid that this was going to be transphobic, but this couldn't be further from it.
not me personally campaigning for jenner’s gubernatorial run so SNL will have even more of a reason to hire joanie
guess I'll start training 0.0
One thing I learned from that experience was two things
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭
So good💚🌟
Hell yeah. That’s it. Hell fuckin yeah.
THIS IS AMAZING
So creative!
Joanie is the best lol
Just want to tack on, trans men, enby's, etc. Are also effected. Tho I suppose it's in character not to acknowledge that
I love this.
It's us... against us... against Me
ahhaahhahahahh
I really liked this
Boy oh boy this one did not age well considering Caitlyn's more. Recent statements
i fucking love this lady she's so funny
97x bam ! The fu-ture of rock-n-roll
Can't run slower than Caitlyn if Caitlyn won't be able to run at all anymore.
^w^
