Speaking Freely: Janeane Garofalo

- Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
- Comic and actress Janeane Garofalo talks about including topical material in her performances including politics, sex and relationships, and discusses why there are relatively few performers who speak of such issues. “People tend to resist political commentary or commentary that questions the status-quo,” she says of her experience.

Love her mind. Highly intelligent, very special person, funny and talented.
I ❤ you Ms. Garofalo!! Thank you...
Love her.
excellent post, very interesting
she makes very good points
"the wall of habit"
She was so hilarious in Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion.
She absolutely made the movie.
I could see her playing some very serious rules.
She's still alive still writing, everyone says " I used too" Oh my she's still here
shes so fucking good! my idol!
On music , I now love this woman !
Love listening to Janeane when she is allowed to speak and answer questions without the host forcing sound bite size snippets. Thank you for posting this. Janeane ,we are the same age and it is so liberating to hear another woman addressing the same frustrations and issues that are so similar to mine. We need to hear more of her daring erudite voice especially in 2022.
I'm team janeane Garofalo All the way 💯 percent
Wow, wish they still made shows like this. I don’t know who they would interview now. Are there many artists speaking like this anymore?
Janeane Garofalo certainly said her share of "something of value" in this interview. Truly refreshing.
She has a lot of great points. A few I disagree w like the blanketing statement that we all do things like marriage and things we strive to do good as habits like religion ( many don't, yes some do, but many choose it due to inspirations and higher motivations as well ) but for the most part she was spot on and very good observations about society.
❤❤❤❤❤ It's ALWAYS great to listen to her insight into how media presents content with biased context, that we all should be wary of the sound bites over digging deeper into the story, and be our own strongest advocates for better reporting & more depth into facts & our shared humanity. She also makes a very important case for us all to reject casual cruelty & superficial dismissiveness.
Janeane Garofalo is a smart woman... First time I have heard her in an interview.... She's very pretty too...
I don't agree with Janeane about everything, but I damn sure do respect and love her, always have. She is brilliant.
Very cool as always. I gotta find that sketch of Alex Borstein doing an impression of her.
I just love that she had to stop herself and admit that she does like Outkast. For a rap group who pushed their pen and actually wanted some political traction or cultural momentum from their music, it makes sense that she would like them. I'd be keen to know what she thinks of other conscious rap acts like Run the Jewels or Kendrick Lamar.
Great stuff!!!
Wow... only 5 mins in and she has (frighteningly) hit the nail on the head about how people perceive/receive political and social comedy/commentary.
I have CONSIDERED doing comedy but hadn't really realized that a good portion of fear of trying right now is concern out of how SO MANY topics right now would be received. There is ALWAYS a demographic who "dislike" what is said but right now sentiment on all sides is so rabid.
Besides social distancing there is a NOTABLE lack of comedians who are saying anything (unless they are backed by a major network) and even then it touch and go as Jimmy Kimmel will tell you
No one really talks about how gorgeous she is.
Garofalo is tight.
you are awesome janeane
Not my first impression, but this guy is a good interviewer.
Whenever you mention Ralph Nader you are truly righteous and courageous! She is very rare in a wicked world!
Sanders is Nader redux
No one compares to Ralph Nadar. He has given his life to the people of this country and we've hardly noticed. Shameful!
“Exaggerated self-criticism would be a harmless luxury of civilization if there were no enemy at the gate condemning democracy’s very existence. But it becomes dangerous when it portrays its mortal enemy as always being in the right. Extravagant criticism is a good propaganda device in internal politics. But if it is repeated often enough, it is finally believed. Where will the citizens of democratic societies find reasons to resist the enemy outside if they are persuaded from childhood that their civilization is merely an accumulation of failures and a monstrous imposture?”
-Jean-François Revel, 1983
I really like this woman , but from the uk we have never seen her ??
Thanks Janeane.
This should be titled Speaking Cliches: Janeane Garofalo
YAWN
I'm very proud to be on her side, Bill hicks, she's just prolific. That's what us girls do . She empowers me . Screw the blonde hair, she's really pretty, but she gets us to think beyond that be. Brilliant absolutely brilliant
I think she said "put a pin in that" lots of people copy that. She made it a thing. That's how cool she is
woaaaaaaaaahhhh
Love this beautiful gorgeous woman
Bill Maher said it best, when a politician says "the American people are smarter than that". You already know the politician is full of horse manure.
Is it cold in the studio? What's with people wearing toques indoors?
Bernie Sanders is also marginalized and neutralized by the American Corporate News Media.
And?
Love her...
Freedom Forum, where everyone is free to agree, or free to be called a bigot
JG for President
consistent
While I'm not into "political humorists" (yawn)..., when she's not "preaching," Janeane really is a very cool and very talented comedian.
20 years later and everything she's saying applies just as much
Does it?
why does this interviewer whisper
so I listened again....and I too am repulsed by this American "culture" and personally cannot stomach much about it,yet am surrounded by people who find no problem with things like she mentions the morning radio stuff etc but I don't think it is dumbing down so much as people are just dumb...
Bc he's gay thinking its a tool to woo guests and have them open up
@@christinetrzcinski4561 combination of both. Liberal commies using the USEFUL IDIOTS as their lemming drones
one of the cutest looking women of all time but you wouldnt guess it from this clip - interesting interview/talk though
@cmtmj2006 she said you'd comment on her appearance. guess you didn't watch to the end.
It does appear that she made no effort to dress for the camera. She looks like one of the people of Wal Mart. She does know how to dress, she is just expressing her contempt for our appreciation of beauty. That knit thing on her head, seriously.
@@fiona8781 Does she have to dress for you or how she wants to dress?
I found Waldo
Dag nabbit you beat me to it!
This is brilliant, and tragic because nothing has changed except for the fact that the pendulum has swung the other way!
I remenber her as the Waitress in the film "the Cable Guy" with Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick. She was Hilarious!
○•○ woaaaaaaaaahhhh that's what it is!
Speaking freely (carefully guided by controlled, leading, and completely meaningless questions.) American logic.
We found Waldo.
Janine. Not surer how to say this, but from a woman whose been though sh*t, & wants an intelligent partner to the end, I'm here (in W AU). I am a huge fan. Not saying as a "pick me", -- just say'in.
i used to think Janene Garofalo was awesome.. now im in love..
I like her. Janeane, what will be the New Normal? Has the Green New Deal already started?
George Carlin had this all figured out years ago.
Check out his many routines on the mega rich that 'own' the country.
Blind compliance and submission to authority figures is always dangerous.
That is why submissive women are so afraid and angry at feminism, as it poses the idea that they could think for themselves.
Excellent description ..👍😟😟
Dude - SPEAK UP!
Wargasm by L7
An example L7 album I actually like better is "Hungry for Stink"
Although the album cover kind of grosses me out.
She's right.
I like what she's saying regarding politics and news, but I think she missed the mark on why the audience doesn't respond to the subject. People go to comedy shows to forget all the things that are frustrating them and Janeane comes off more angry than funny, unlike old time political humor. Nothing negative here, I love her and agree with so much of what she says, but it's not that the audience doesn't want to hear it, or understand what's going on. It's the wrong venue. People are stressed and miserable and defeated.
Agreed! I find her worldview interesting. But in a club environment, the fun satire of her work on the Ben Stiller Show for example is maybe more appropriate. That said, like anyone performing a job every day…noone wants to be told “how to f***” as they say lol
Sound guy needs to fix the host's nose whistle. Jeesh.
Pepsi and taco Bell is the only way pop artists actually make money💰
i disagree a lot w her politics but love her nonetheless
Is she married to a Super Friend? I'm just going by the ring.
I wish I could meet her - she’s my girl crush.
I used to have the biggest crush on her in the 90s. I know she's always been pretty left, but for the past like decade or more she has just seemed so unpleasant.
so a woman can only be hot, smart, or interesting if she is "pleasant", "demur", "happy", "smiling" or a hundred other stereotypical "feminine" traits?
Not her best hour, honestly. Maybe the lame interviewer is partly to blame. She needed to be wrangled a bit more here because she really did tend to ramble and it got a little tedious. Not that I even disagree with any point she made - she's just been more compelling on the same points in other interviews.
She's the Noam Chomsky / Chis Hedges of comedy! I don't think she's a liberal tho, even if she does not know it ....
Wish she was funnier. She fires a lot of blanks.
You're right.
I used to love her as a kid, and when I was at Uni I caught one of her shows; i was really excited.... It was awful. The reason she can't make political jokes land is, because for all her multisyllabic words forcing this perception of intellectualism, she says nothing. She is not nearly as smart as she thinks she is (which has a certain poetic comedy to it, given the aspersions she casts the way of the public on that trait). She hasn't (then or now) reasoned out her feelings or stance on anything, not even on a simple observational level.
Her posturing of cognitive reasoning skills is impressive to kids, that are entranced by the mimicked cadence and word weaving of pretention, but once you're old enough to understand those words it is cring inducing. She feels about many many things but she doesn't THINK about them (or even understand there is a difference).
On a vapid positive note, she seems to have stopped aging at 30...that is pretty impressive.
She loses because she's too self-serious: politics is a fucking joke, ignore those clowns. Focus on the issues and how communities can work together to solve them. This is not typically very funny stuff and Garofalo is right: she lacks the type of humor to make politics funny. She takes it too seriously to make it funny.
Agree with all you say...'cept " stopped aging at 30..."....???? She currently looks about 83 years old, she was very sexy, pretty etc when she wasn't anorexic / bulimic....now she looks like a bitter warped old meth addict. Shame really.
she looks AWFUL!
Im beginning to just skip thru alll Intros on All videos. So much easier than wasting a full minute
prageoron theories
"for crying out loud" ...I'll bet she heard that first from her father.....I can tell.
While she is totally politically misguided, I like her.
What the hell is a 'quasi-non-intellectual?'
Someone that politically disagrees with her.
She would be good to have a child with
One can't help but notice the body language going on here.
@Tom Bower The studio is cold, ergo her clothing...
Can dumb people become intellectuals?
I just worry that you're getting too thin! You're edgy and your ubercool! I cannot not like you!!
Speak freely people...just don't offend the left wing.
80sBorn yep.
its not the "left wing". its the fringe of the left. if we are to be honest on this subject, both sides get offended over all kinds of things. in fact, the coinage of the word "snowflake" in reference to "liberals" was done by the right; the irony of the term being lost on the right of course
Or make a razor ad that makes every conservative and their mothers lose their fucking heads.
If you look at the psychology of Janeane Garofalo, like many blacks that feel disenfranchised by mainstream society, her radical leftism only seems natural. Like a catharsis of her own personal issues of feeling like an outsider in mainstream society. Funny thing is that I really liked and agreed with her standup dialogue. But she has gone overboard and taken that rebelliousness in a direction that has no merit because of the insidious influences at work behind the scenes that seek to exploit that outsider mentality, like the one that she possesses, to push the so called "liberal agenda".
as opposed to the right wing propaganda machine exploiting the nationalist indoctrination of the insider exclusivity mentality to push the "conservative agenda"
She is clever and smart. Slightly misguided
What a nut case. Just goes to show the subjectivity of the human mind. Two people can feel different parts of the elephant and draw wildly different assessments of its nature.
Liberals weird?? No....of course not! I just wear a ski cap and coat inside a hot studio. Liberals not angry? She didn't crack one smile!!
Billy W. As a Liberal I often find myself wearing ski clothing at the height of Summer with no air conditioning, as I scowl and curse at hard-working Americans outside my window. I don't know why that is. Something to do with the collective hive mentality of us Liberals we can't help ourselves always appearing as bitter hot wierdos.
Billy W. ....but in all seriousness, what did Janeane say that you disagree with or think is not true? Do you have a point to your superficial insults, or is it simply fear of the "weird" truth? What makes you think the studio is "hot" anyway? They could have had air conditioning as easily as not. In point of fact Janeane did laugh and smile occasionally though this short interview. If she had done it constantly, like some morning TV drone or eager waitress, she would have looked silly or mindless. But I guess that's how _all you Conservatives like your women_, s'long as we're making arrogant generalizations about _the other side_....
+Billy W. So apparently liberalism adheres in the person of Janeane Garofalo, and anything she does that you find strange in any way, no matter how petty, is to be imputed to all liberals. How do you even know the studio was hot, man...lol. Actually though, I kind of agree that she comes off slightly humorless here. Sometimes it just depends who you're talking to...this interviewer is obviously a total wet blanket and cipher, and she was probably full of red bull and adderall and just let it rip, so it's a little boring and rambling.
originally aired February......
which is winter.......wearing a hat in winter indoors is great for warmth
Her comedy is less about cheap "laughs" and more about making you think...
Why is Garofalo dressed like this ?? Is she in the witness protection plan ??
Yes that is exactly the reason.
People come to comedy clubs to laugh. Your political opinions are not warranted.
The problem is that comedians have no special gift for understanding the nature of politics, except the usual cynicism. Knowing there are problems in the world does not automatically require the government (and, thus, the large bureaucracy) should get involved. That is the liberal leap that is a bridge too far, for conservatives.
just like there are situations (not problems) in the world that dont automatically require government intervention...such as: a womans right to have an abortion, a persons right to get married, no matter what gender the two consenting adults are, NOT teaching any religion or religious text in public schools, a womans right to have her insurance pay for her contraceptives, etc. these things do not require government involvement, yet conservatives have seen fit to include the government for decades now. the conservative logic of "small government" is a fallacy that starts as soon as a social issue that doesnt agree with their religious "family values" pops its ugly head up; then all of a sudden the government is exactly what they are looking for. so shove your self righteous hypocrisy up your ass.
is this a man or a women?
she's a jew and far left? gee color me shocked.
Why am I listening to a comedian talk about Politics. And why is she talking about Politics lol
