+Devon Lamont I just recently found out that J.R. was this funny. Caught Fashion Police maybe back in 2008/9 and dang near pissed my pants laughing at this women. She is now on my pandora playlist channel.
When it comes/came to comedy “Stand Up She Stood Up Showed Up Stepped Up” on stage and blew it up! She,what the youngsters say/call, “kept it real”!! She broke the barrier… GOAT❤
Joan was always taking risks. She said things that probably made people blush, but their face was red because they laughed and laughed. Thanks for this video. What a treat!
Ahead of her time!! Joan invented SHOCK comedy! Full of energy, cutting edge and knew how to handle herself when a joke bombed. So talented! Farewell to a wonderful human.
Being one of the older posters here,I always liked Joan Rivers. Her "Act/Style of comedy" worked when people werent so uptight.This day and age people get offended if the traffic lights turn Red on them...
When people said "Joan never said anything new" i got upset. They couldn´t and still can´t see how legendary her jokes were. This joke was told as late as last fucking year and people laughed their asses of!!! Loved her! RIP
You can see at the end of the clip she's reaching out to laugh with the blonde lady she made fun of during the act. That's class, it absolutely shows that she had a beautiful heart underneath the acerbic comedy. There'll never be anyone like Joan Rivers!
How can you say she wasn't funny!!! I laughed so hard I was crying. If you didn't crack a smile you take life way too serious. I don't always agree with some of her humor but she made me laugh and that's what its all about
i find it strange that I just a few weeks ago saw this, and was amazed at how funny she is....I also watched some of her in bed with joan videos, which are funny too. I had never had the desire to watch or see Joan, but I forgot why, I just stumbled upon her here, and was blown away. She paved the way for raw and raunchy, for female comics. Inspired Magaret Cho, and so many others.
Agreed. I've been laughing with her for more than 40 years. And they can really only get into the same league as Joan once they've been at it successfully for as long as she has. She's still blazing trails today, too. More energy than 2 people half her age.
I'm watching through these. What's great is not just that she's maintained rapid-fire borderline-explicit sex jokes since the 60s, but that she has upped the ante each year in line with the times, such that it's still edging out people's comfort zones in the 2010s.
You know what really sickens me? This isn't the first page I've come to after Joan's death and seen a bunch of miserable trolls whining about how much they hate Joan. The woman is dead for Pete's sake! Have some respect! I don't know, I guess I grew up in a different era. My Mom taught me that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I think this is especially true of people that have just passed away. You people act like she was Hitler or something. As Joan herself said, "Oh! Grow up!"
Hey guys, different strokes different folks. Absolutely no reason to watch her if you do not like her. No reason to jab a dead mother. If Melissa, her daughter is reading these, imagiine the pain further added to her family. Respect the dead. She is not hurting you. You are hurting her family. In the words of JR, grow up.
@@harrycarrey1225 I think this sort of logic is what enables a lot of people to say very mean and hurtful things about celebrities that they'd never say to their face. Why is Melissa above watching UA-cam videos and reading the comments? She is, after all, a normal human being like the rest of us, who I'm sure occasionally has some time to kill. Why is it impossible to think she could be watching old videos of her mother and find herself reading the comment section? Not saying she does but thinking that is so far fetched just because her mother was a famous comedian and she herself was in the entertainment business is very juvenile and naive at best.

I'll forever love & miss this woman.

Not just the funniest woman: she was the funniest person alive until her death. Nobody compares to the great Joan Rivers!
She was beyond brilliant. Saying out loud what everyone was thinking. Of course she was and is right......fantastic woman....really!!!!
I'm crying! LOL!! She always made me laugh so hard. Thank goodness for UA-cam.
Soo much hate. I'm glad to see a positive comment. I thought she was hilarious!
+Denise Borum when i first seen this i was laughing so hard i couldn't breathe..LOL I will always love and miss her so dearly.

I wet myself laughing. There's no one like her today, man or woman.
God she was good. Look at those high schoolers totally connecting with her, even though she's so edgy even for this time. Rip Joan
I almost cry at that "YES"
I'm so used to when she says it in her most recent stand ups, it felt nostalgic.
Love you Joan
Joan was always taking risks. She said things that probably made people blush, but their face was red because they laughed and laughed. Thanks for this video. What a treat!
40 years ago! and she is still fabulous!
The "first wife/second wife" bid never gets old. :)
Ahead of her time!! Joan invented SHOCK comedy! Full of energy, cutting edge and knew how to handle herself when a joke bombed. So talented! Farewell to a wonderful human.
That is what you can call an epic comedy moment from a true legend! We miss you, Joan!❤
I’m so glad I was able to see her live a few years back! What a legend
same here man
Joan is whip-smart funny. Truly a mensch.

Taking offence is a growth industry now. People have made careers out of it, Rocker.
See: RACE BAITERS
I find her attractive
If I had been born 30 years earlier, I would have been stalking her for sure!
Ok Boomer
😂offended if the traffic light turn red. Too funny
Love Joan's drama and flair and how she interacts with her audience. You and your passion are so missed !!!
When people said "Joan never said anything new" i got upset. They couldn´t and still can´t see how legendary her jokes were. This joke was told as late as last fucking year and people laughed their asses of!!! Loved her! RIP

Joan always made me laugh - now she's entertaining the afterlife x
I love the audience interaction she can do on top of the character and monologue she's already doing
her outfits were always so chiccccccccccccccc, that coat and then the dresssssssssss
I know! I'd love it!
We gotta bring that back. clothing has no drama today
Wherever you are Joan, they've got their hands full now.
Knock 'em dead, lady.
@2:55 Wooooowwww, look at those mid-century faces. Wow, to be able to take a time machine to back then.
Funny in 1974, still funny in 2014.
It's almost 2019 and she still funny , like forever funny
It's 2024 and she's still hilarious 😂
OMG, what a talent.
What a great talent, thanks for posting
How can you say she wasn't funny!!! I laughed so hard I was crying. If you didn't crack a smile you take life way too serious. I don't always agree with some of her humor but she made me laugh and that's what its all about
wow she DESTROYED !!! this is one of the best stand ups of JR i ever saw she was WOW WOW WOW
That's a great outfit Joan's wearing.
I can only imagine Carol Burnett offstage, wondering what the hell she got herself into. Lol
JOAN IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST COMEDIAN EVER!
Joan rivers was funny then and still is very funny now. Especially on her show "fashion police"
Love her in this era
That dress is FABULOUS!! The style during this time was unmatched and Joan and Carol knew how to dress !!
She was soooo awesome ! My favorite!
So loved her! No ego there!
Wow. There were 81 comments when I came onto this clip. #ripjoanrivers You were one of a kind.
Joan's outfit looks like something endora would wear on bewitched
Hahahaha I got that!
40 years later & this is funnier then any comedian today. Love joan
The only reason I had the kid was because he tosses and turns in his sleep. LOL!
I didn't get that, can you explain?
4:04 that is strong. This entire thing is just a great line after a great line.
Joan had so much energy in this, never saw a comic that could match that
Amazing, the audience was dying with laughter.
i love her and thank you for posting this vid
I love how she took the piss out of herself all the time x
Thank GOD for Joan😇 SHE was one ☝️ of my favorite comedians 😅😜👍🫶

Legend. There will never be another Joan Rivers.
hands Down funniest woman alive
Her vitality lived on til the day she died, remarkable woman.
RocknRoll is absolutely right. I love Joan Rivers. Saddened by her passing.
Joan was a truth teller.
LOL I love you Joan!!!
omg she is so funny!
she talks so fast i love it she still does
thx for upload!!!
the writers of the marvelous mrs. maisel drew inspiration from this performance . it's great.
She's hilarious 😂🤣
Agreed. I've been laughing with her for more than 40 years.
And they can really only get into the same league as Joan once they've been at it successfully for as long as she has. She's still blazing trails today, too. More energy than 2 people half her age.
Masterful...
one of the funniest people on the planet. Joan knew.,
2 comedy legends 🥰
She was smart and witty I like that about her!
I miss her.
she was brilliant! That was 1974 why ahead of her time
isn't she brilliant isn't she the best comedian ever lived
I'm watching through these. What's great is not just that she's maintained rapid-fire borderline-explicit sex jokes since the 60s, but that she has upped the ante each year in line with the times, such that it's still edging out people's comfort zones in the 2010s.
Always loved Joan Rivers.
"let me help you with buttons and i said...i said I'M NAKED!" RROOFFLLMMFFAAOO!!!

Their will never be another Joan !
still true today. This was what funny was in the 1970's for those that don't get it.
Damn, she was funny!! I'll be missing her... ;-D
I loved Joan Rivers, she was one of the funniest. comedians in comedy. I miss her.
Joan's the greatest!
I was 11 here. RIP
Awesome.
That is what real is. Today, we got "acts". That wasn't an "act" that was just her being her. Just society fucked it up and turned it into stupid BS.
One of the greatest
This is the 70's?? Really?? It's such a good clip, good quality.
That dress is fabulous!
lmao i love how even today she still yells YES YES!
omg she looked so cute
A legend@!❤🥰🥰🥰

You are hurting her family.

Do you honestly think that Joan Rivers daughter reads youtube comments?????????????? Now thats funny.
