+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.
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!"
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.
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!!!!
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
I wet myself laughing. There's no one like her today, man or woman.
40 years ago! and she is still fabulous!
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.

The "first wife/second wife" bid never gets old. :)
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!
That is what you can call an epic comedy moment from a true legend! We miss you, Joan!❤
Wherever you are Joan, they've got their hands full now.
Knock 'em dead, lady.
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.
I’m so glad I was able to see her live a few years back! What a legend
same here man

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
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
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 😂
That's a great outfit Joan's wearing.
Joan is whip-smart funny. Truly a mensch.
Love Joan's drama and flair and how she interacts with her audience. You and your passion are so missed !!!
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
OMG, what a talent.
JOAN IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST COMEDIAN EVER!

@2:55 Wooooowwww, look at those mid-century faces. Wow, to be able to take a time machine to back then.
Joan always made me laugh - now she's entertaining the afterlife x
wow she DESTROYED !!! this is one of the best stand ups of JR i ever saw she was WOW WOW WOW
Joan's outfit looks like something endora would wear on bewitched
Hahahaha I got that!
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?
I love the audience interaction she can do on top of the character and monologue she's already doing
Joan rivers was funny then and still is very funny now. Especially on her show "fashion police"
Wow. There were 81 comments when I came onto this clip. #ripjoanrivers You were one of a kind.
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 can only imagine Carol Burnett offstage, wondering what the hell she got herself into. Lol
hands Down funniest woman alive
She was soooo awesome ! My favorite!
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.

Love her in this era
That dress is FABULOUS!! The style during this time was unmatched and Joan and Carol knew how to dress !!
So loved her! No ego there!
4:04 that is strong. This entire thing is just a great line after a great line.
What a great talent, thanks for posting
Her vitality lived on til the day she died, remarkable woman.
40 years later & this is funnier then any comedian today. Love joan
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 😅😜👍🫶
RocknRoll is absolutely right. I love Joan Rivers. Saddened by her passing.
Joan was a truth teller.
Amazing, the audience was dying with laughter.
omg she is so funny!
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.
isn't she brilliant isn't she the best comedian ever lived

Their will never be another Joan !
She's hilarious 😂🤣
Joan had so much energy in this, never saw a comic that could match that
LOL I love you Joan!!!
Legend. There will never be another Joan Rivers.
the writers of the marvelous mrs. maisel drew inspiration from this performance . it's great.
one of the funniest people on the planet. Joan knew.,
She was smart and witty I like that about her!
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 love her and thank you for posting this vid
I miss her.
omg she looked so cute
she talks so fast i love it she still does
"let me help you with buttons and i said...i said I'M NAKED!" RROOFFLLMMFFAAOO!!!
she was brilliant! That was 1974 why ahead of her time
still true today. This was what funny was in the 1970's for those that don't get it.
This is the 70's?? Really?? It's such a good clip, good quality.
Masterful...
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.
2 comedy legends 🥰
She sounds like Long Island Medium
I was 11 here. RIP
Awesome.
Joan's the greatest!
Always loved Joan Rivers.
Love, love, love her. I hate she is no-longer with us.
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.
She rules...one of my only comedic heros from the 60's/70's that STILL is funny.
She's fuckin' nuts!!!
thx for upload!!!
lmao i love how even today she still yells YES YES!
r.i.p.
hello i love joan rivers
That dress is fabulous!
She was way ahead of her time .
One of the greatest
Why is Mrs Maisel a carbon copy of this im not kidding
Because nobody has original ideas any more. Art imitates life.
OMG... the best.. ever... LOL
Joan Miss u
Hilarious 😂😂😂🍀
she was eveb a scream in the 70's! LOLLLLLLL!
Joan was brilliantly funny. RIP.
I'm flat chested too! 😂
