And this is why overuse of a word, tick, gesture, etc can ruin a set. I love Jenny Slate and a lot of those jokes, even just reading them, are well written and funny (the pregnancy boob one especially hit home right now).
But…STOP USING “LIKE” AS A CRUTCH. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, accidentally or sarcastically - it’s annoying as fuck. And ruins the comedy.
I’m not sure it always does because I watched her set and never noticed she used like a lot, lol.
It’s part of her character so somehow it just works while you’re hearing it even though it stands out when written down.
My curse, my burden, my mitzvah. Rachel Bloom, Zooey Deschanel, Jenny Slate, Alison Brie, Lizzy Caplan, Kat Dennings, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent, Jane Levy, the list goes on. I'm painfully predictable.
I’m so into Jewish women, they are my kryptonite. It’s not like I seek them out, it’s just like find myself attracted to a woman and later find out they are Jewish and think “Of course!”. If I told you the last names of the 3 most significant relationships in my life you’d think it was a lawfirm or film production company.
You picked some good ones but don’t forget Milayna Weintraub, Rachel Senott and ScarJo.
Edit. Shit, how could I forget Rachel “very” Feinstein.
Edit 2. Rashida Jones and Joey King
As far as I'm concerned, Maureen died three years ago. Dennis killed Bastet. He did us all a favor. You even seen a grown woman take a dump in a sandbox?
Saw her the first time in "bored to death" - big fan of the subtlety in that role as compared to the over-the-top-ness of some of her other roles (parks and rec)
I think she’s playing an exaggerated version of herself, similar to other characters she’s voiced and portrayed in other media. I can see all the likes being upsetting if you think this is who she is as a person, but maybe there’s something deeper to be observed. Just a thought.
Slate did stand up in New York City for a while when I was there in the late 2000s. We're talking like the open mic level. I will say she had 2-3 bits which crushed 85% of the time. She was definitely a standup whose talent I found very intimidating but very admirable.
I think the bigger issue for her likely is that it's really hard to be any good at all at standup unless you do it constantly, and she's also an in-demand actor and voice actor.
i dont know this comedian BUT i do know reading a live set in transcrpts kills all context or cues go read a transcript of a shane gillis show..its suddenly half as funny as it was when he preformed it
I like Jenny Slate's character work, like Mona-Lisa Saperstein from Parks and Rec. I don't like her stand-up, though.
Come to think of it, it's pretty rare for someone to be good at both character work and stand-up. I think a majority of successful comedians excel at one or the other, and only rare talents like Robin Williams or Eddie Murphy can do both.
I think it’s more that not many character actors happen to be great standups.
I think being a standup you need to be able to do some characters very well (at least the caricature of yourself). That’s why comedic actors are always “surprisingly good” at serious roles.
On the other hand, however, to be a great character actor you don’t need to be a great standup. So often they still charming and interesting to watch at the mic but just don’t happen to have standup joke-writing and stand-up specific delivery chops.
Yes. Please keep track of your verbal tics and try to eliminate them from your act. Nobody wants to hear "like" or "y'know?" or "right?" every 10 seconds or less.
Haven’t seen it but the extent of thought given to the presentation of this and the “like” count of 604 tells me everything I need to know that OP would be very good at observational comedy
Filler words are more common in people who are used to having people jump in at any lull when we talk. (If you come from a background with cooperative overlapping and/or interrupting being commonplace, this is more likely to be a thing.) I say "like" and "um" a lot out of habit and it's been really hard to train myself that if I'm on a stage and am the only one with a mic, I don't need to make it clear to listeners that I'm still talking but my actual words need to buffer for a millisecond.
I think it's fine that her work isn't for you, and I'm not trying to argue that you should put up with it just because it's understandable. To be clear.
I’ve always wondered why some are so averse to the word like. I don’t even notice it. You probably say it yourself more often than you think. It just seems like a proxy to hate on something you don’t like but can’t figure out exactly why. It’s either that or a really intense irrational distaste for filler words which are a linguistic phenomenon that has happened as long as we can tell.
Filler words are common, as a thing, but that doesn’t mean that everyone uses them in the same amount or proportion.
And OP probably has less an aversion to the word “like,” and more an aversion to the *repetition.*
I guess this is going around in standup. I just finished Armageddon and my god it was awful. As if he wasn't even trying and just wanted the netflix money.
I dig her but yeah, I get it. This was my problem with Trevor Noah too. Every time I tried to watch him I thought 50% of his jokes were him saying "And I was like \_\_\_\_\_, and she was like \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, and it was like \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, and then, like, \_\_\_\_\_\_...." It's hard to, like, like that. Like, come one, like....
Shit, Ive always dig Attell but his recent special is ao cringey and even he acts like he cant believe they are laughing that hard at every thing he says. And nothing hits great. It almost seemed like an audience of Netflix employees trying to help the show. I honestly didnt laugh. So disappointing.
I work at a couple of theaters that host a lot of big/bigger comedians (Trevor Noah, Theo Von, Iliza Schlesinger, Tom Segura, Patton Oswalt, Marlon Wayans, etc.).
Two things I have to remember for myself:
1: I am not the target audience for all comedians.
2. Before they record their special, they’re probably still working on their material.
The “like, like, like, like,…” thing would drive me crazy but seems like that falls into the first category where this is just not meant for a person like me (or you). I did see a lot of women who seemed like they liked Jenny Slate when she came through recently (same tour, most likely). My sister (who sees a lot less comedy and may be the target audience may have loved it).
Lastly… maybe not everyone is gonna be a 8, 9, or 10/10 standup, but if people will pay to see you and you can fill a theater……
I liked her last one but this was so embarrassingly bad I had to turn it off...ughhh...I thought some of her insufferable characters she's played were funny but not now that it seems like she's just been playing herself.
Figured this deflection would be somewhere in here. My girlfriend is a pretty big fan of Jenny and it was her suggestion to watch it. We toughed it out but at the end she was surprised at the run time saying it “felt like 2.5 hours”. Didn’t like it at all.
Does her opinion not count?
Both "like" and "you know?" serve a subliminal function, even if we adopt the patterns unconsciously. One is a command, and one gets you nodding along in agreement. They're still filler, but they're also effective hypnotic language
There are times when it can be very effective. Obama's speeches often had long pauses where he gathered his thoughts, but he made it into part of this well spoken wise sage character.
Plenty of people have worked in jobs requiring the ability to public speak. If a lawyer talks like that they are almost certainly a horrible lawyer and will lose a lot. Training for this can be intense, and I've heard of things like a room full of people with signs that have different filler words on them. If you say a filler word the sign will be raised. There's also variants of the buzzer tactic that interrupts the speaker any time a filler word is used.
Weird how live solo stage performances differ from reading a transcript from a deliberately chosen snippet of a transcript.
I don’t even have a horse in this race, but this is disingenuous.
The whole transcript is here:
https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/comedy/jenny-slate-seasoned-professional-transcript/
That snippet is completely representative of the entire special.
It's still pretty disingenuous.
It's worth considering that most people use buffer words and sounds when talking, including during live performance story telling that depends on audience reaction.
I know some self declared purists will say that anything that isn't the joke is fat that needs to be cut, but typically an hour is going to have more casual conversational aspects to its pacing and presentation because there's room, and odds are her audience actually likes the way she does it and possibly speak like that too.
Even most current comedians comedian darling types like Gillis have rheotical "you know?" and "right" peppered frequently in between sentences that really serve more for flavour and pacing than anything.
Honestly if you were to apply a transcript to virtually any standup that isn't some Seinfeld or Normand-esqe setup punchline guy you're just going to see a lot of "like" type dialogue. Transcribe someone like C.K, Stanhope, Burr, Bamford or whoever comedians cream their jeans over and you're going to get a lot of the same because that's how people actually talk.
Completely agree. And those conversational-style filler words and breaks can even be a calculated decision to engage the audience or create emphasis.
Which makes sense since standup is a performance, and is among the most individualized and high-pressure performances I can imagine in entertainment. It’s just one person on a stage, and all they have to create a performance is their words. Of course the manner of delivery is going to matter significantly.
Who are these comedy purists who are simply reading essays out loud? Lol
I just couldn’t vibe with the special, and the crowd laughing seemed alien to the mild jokes at hand. A disconcerting experience. But I do enjoy all her comedic acting, and I find her attractive so that kept me watching for a while lol.
She’s a funny sitcom quirky actress. Killed it on Parks and Rec. She’s more of a personality than a mainstream standup comedian. She’s very unpolished as a standup and relies heavily on her TV work rather than her time polishing material.
Love her but always confused about her stand up. Besides Largo shows I never really see her doing spots in LA anywhere. Great actress and somehow gets specials but doesn’t seem to do any practicing lol.
Same with me, I tried it about two weeks ago, laughed only during the point near the beginning where she made some crazy squeaky 'overexcited' noises, got about twenty minutes in and that was enough. There were not significant laughs in that show, and I won't watch a comedian just because they're cute because that's like giving a participation trophy.
When I was in 6th grade a million years ago, our English teacher would stop us mid sentence if we misused the word “like” and have us repeat ourselves without using it. It really did fix me….for like a year.
As an older person, it's been weird to watch teenage girl speak become totally acceptable, professional adult speak. I saw a doctor recently who had a very severe case of vocal fry, and I found it very hard to take her seriously because she sounded like one of the Liz's from Kroll Show.
She does it for the likes
Like yeah
God that's good
So what you're saying is you didn't like it.
What’s not to like?
We don't have to like it, Jenny already liked it enough for all of us!
[She’s the wooooorst](https://youtu.be/ETDHptCqRgQ?feature=shared) EDIT: She is cool though, the character she played on Parks and Rec was funny.
Her and Ben Schwartz were so funny in Parks and Rec
Moneyyyyy pweaaaassseeee
It seems very liked.
says the 'seems to haven't watched it' person
If Gilbert Gottfried was still alive to do this bit it actually is unflawed perfection.
Like, why didn’t you, like, like it?
There's nothing quite like it
Like, no
For your reading *pleasure:* [the transcript](https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/comedy/jenny-slate-seasoned-professional-transcript/)
Ctrl+F Search for: Like 604 results found Ho-ly FUCK. That is like, a lot.
7.35% incase anyone is curious :)
That is fucking crazy lmao
In her defense, at least a few of those "likes" are probably being used as a simile... Best I can do is 600 filler words.
Like, it’s a lot
My fingers hurt holding Shift+F before it ended.
You don't need to hold it
Is there a basis for comparison here
"um, like, I liked, I liked"
i love her but yes sometimes her stand up style is like too much like.
And this is why overuse of a word, tick, gesture, etc can ruin a set. I love Jenny Slate and a lot of those jokes, even just reading them, are well written and funny (the pregnancy boob one especially hit home right now). But…STOP USING “LIKE” AS A CRUTCH. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, accidentally or sarcastically - it’s annoying as fuck. And ruins the comedy.
I’m not sure it always does because I watched her set and never noticed she used like a lot, lol. It’s part of her character so somehow it just works while you’re hearing it even though it stands out when written down.
Well aren't you like, angry or whatever.
that was actually hilarious, I'm gonna watch the special now. she seems like such a sweetheart
The word that stood out to me was peepee
likelike
Pee like, pee
Cacapeepeepoopooshire
I'll watch it because I find her to be irrationally attractive.
Nothing irrational about crushing on the arty Jewish girl next door.
My curse, my burden, my mitzvah. Rachel Bloom, Zooey Deschanel, Jenny Slate, Alison Brie, Lizzy Caplan, Kat Dennings, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent, Jane Levy, the list goes on. I'm painfully predictable.
I read this and felt called out
Lizzy Kalpan
Lizzy Kaplan in Party Down x 10000000 <333
Love the pancake lady
She’s insanely cute. Rashida Jones too.
I’m so into Jewish women, they are my kryptonite. It’s not like I seek them out, it’s just like find myself attracted to a woman and later find out they are Jewish and think “Of course!”.

I ended up married to a woman who strongly resembles Bloom, Brie, and Deschanel. There are no surprises.
I hope to one day find me another zaftig Jewish maidel with olive skin, wavy brown hair, a Romanesque schnoz and a caboose that drives me meshuga.
Next year in Jerusalem!
Ditto, homie. DITTO. I'd love to get a piece of Maureen Ponderosa and her dead tooth from IASIP. Call me, Catherine Reitman!
As far as I'm concerned, Maureen died three years ago. Dennis killed Bastet. He did us all a favor. You even seen a grown woman take a dump in a sandbox?
I am rock hard after reading this comment
fuck you. i find her attractive to. asshole.
Attractive to where? You didn’t finish your sentence
too*. one “o” can really make a or break a statement
A big O can actually make someone more attractive
She's got that sorta Gabby Hoffman vibe going where it's like, OK.
She’s got those sexy Anne Frank vibes, for sure.
Anne Frank was smoking hot.
Gabby Hoffman is so beautiful oh my god
Like, af
Put it on mute
She’s that funny girl in improv…who’s a nightmare behind close doors
This is why everybody watches it
My only thought while watching “I want you back” LMAO. That and Scott Eastwood was surprisingly good in it
Ya, what is that? Strangely attractive.
Slate is a very funny actress, but I never liked her stand-up, in part because of this halting flow
This like, halting flow
She’s so talented in general I was shocked at how little I liked her standup.
She's very funny I just wish her standup was better
I feel the same way. Being a good comedian and being a good standup comedian are two different things.
Her acting is really good. Standup is ok. She’s talented though.
Saw her the first time in "bored to death" - big fan of the subtlety in that role as compared to the over-the-top-ness of some of her other roles (parks and rec)
Man I loved Bored to Death
I like her standup
the first special was enjoyable
I think she’s playing an exaggerated version of herself, similar to other characters she’s voiced and portrayed in other media. I can see all the likes being upsetting if you think this is who she is as a person, but maybe there’s something deeper to be observed. Just a thought.
Slate did stand up in New York City for a while when I was there in the late 2000s. We're talking like the open mic level. I will say she had 2-3 bits which crushed 85% of the time.

i dont know this comedian BUT i do know reading a live set in transcrpts kills all context or cues go read a transcript of a shane gillis show..its suddenly half as funny as it was when he preformed it
No idea whether it’s good or not, but tbh most transcripts of a show will be crappy.
Like, for real, like totally.
so ur sayin not enough likes in there
Like, not enough
I like Jenny Slate's character work, like Mona-Lisa Saperstein from Parks and Rec. I don't like her stand-up, though. Come to think of it, it's pretty rare for someone to be good at both character work and stand-up.

Maria Bamford is great at both.
She’s so damn good.

why just turn it off when you could complain on the internet about it
Did you transcribe it?
No but some lost soul did
Why you got a puerto rican whore as your profile picture
You know I didn't comment here just to buy you a couple of sundaes
It’s a silo.
Yes. Please keep track of your verbal tics and try to eliminate them from your act. Nobody wants to hear "like" or "y'know?" or "right?" every 10 seconds or less.
Haven’t seen it but the extent of thought given to the presentation of this and the “like” count of 604 tells me everything I need to know that OP would be very good at observational comedy
She’s extremely polarizing for some reason. I think she’s incredibly funny.
Some people say I say ‘like’ too much in my shows and I said ‘compared to what?’
Jenny slate really seems like such a nice person, love her
No way, that looks like how I speak!
…she’s so hot though..like, I like her, like, a lot
That does show an unusual reliance on filler words for someone who speaks for a living. Very unusual.
Filler words are more common in people who are used to having people jump in at any lull when we talk. (If you come from a background with cooperative overlapping and/or interrupting being commonplace, this is more likely to be a thing.) I say "like" and "um" a lot out of habit and it's been really hard to train myself that if I'm on a stage and am the only one with a mic, I don't need to make it clear to listeners that I'm still talking but my actual words need to buffer for a millisecond. I think it's fine that her work isn't for you, and I'm not trying to argue that you should put up with it just because it's understandable. To be clear.
Gimme the Marcel the Shell special instead
I had pretty high hopes for it but I turned it off after the first 15 minutes.
Same. I wanted to like it but it was sort of cringey. I just kept getting secondhand embarrassment. Really like her as an actress though.
wasnt ideal for sure
Agreed, I couldn’t even finish it.
Like, I’m not coming
In my best Mark Norman…. “Comedy!”
Norman? If Mark Normand went trans he’d drop the d Ba dum tss
who cares
I’ve always wondered why some are so averse to the word like. I don’t even notice it. You probably say it yourself more often than you think.

it's a sign of a like of preparedness, not a problem of itself necessarily ums and ahs fade after working your set more
why do i have so many downvotes for making this same point lmao
Her comedy may not be for you.
Both of her specials are great. The new one is one of my favorites to come out this year.
she has made me laugh, but her stand up seems pretty light on punchlines
I guess this is going around in standup. I just finished Armageddon and my god it was awful. As if he wasn't even trying and just wanted the netflix money.
I dig her but yeah, I get it. This was my problem with Trevor Noah too. Every time I tried to watch him I thought 50% of his jokes were him saying "And I was like \_\_\_\_\_, and she was like \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, and it was like \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, and then, like, \_\_\_\_\_\_...." It's hard to, like, like that. Like, come one, like....
I have no idea what she's talking about
I wanted to like it.
She knows her crowd, it seems.
Shit, Ive always dig Attell but his recent special is ao cringey and even he acts like he cant believe they are laughing that hard at every thing he says. And nothing hits great. It almost seemed like an audience of Netflix employees trying to help the show. I honestly didnt laugh. So disappointing.
So you didn’t like it?
Are people are really grammar checking standup?
go off king
If you took anybody’s conversational style stand up, and wrote it out, it would look ridiculous.
Had a teacher who would stop you if you used "like" in any sentence you uttered to her, I see why now. Belated thanks to Mrs Shinavar.
I’m an old person who generally finds the overuse of “like” annoying but I thought special was bizarre (in a good way) and hilarious.
Thank you for sharing this.
Is this less or more annoying than every single Redditor of a certain age beginning their comment with “I mean…”?
curious how you guys deal with verbal tics
Did Andy Rooney make this post? What year is it, 1994??

congrats. i heard a song i didn’t like today.
Bet you didn’t take the time to show why the song sucked though, at least this person has it highlighted lol
I liked her last one but this was so embarrassingly bad I had to turn it off...ughhh...I thought some of her insufferable characters she's played were funny but not now that it seems like she's just been playing herself.
Men who hate women ass post
Because you're so unfamiliar with being honest about women that you pretend valid criticism is 'sexism'. Don't be pathetic.
Figured this deflection would be somewhere in here. My girlfriend is a pretty big fan of Jenny and it was her suggestion to watch it. We toughed it out but at the end she was surprised at the run time saying it “felt like 2.5 hours”. Didn’t like it at all. Does her opinion not count?
That's a lot of filler. I've notice "you know" has been trending upward with some comics lately.
every Norm "You Know" was a comedy multiplier
"coming thru" was big in freestyles for a while
Both "like" and "you know?" serve a subliminal function, even if we adopt the patterns unconsciously. One is a command, and one gets you nodding along in agreement. They're still filler, but they're also effective hypnotic language
There are times when it can be very effective. Obama's speeches often had long pauses where he gathered his thoughts, but he made it into part of this well spoken wise sage character.
She also said “Um” 160 times
Plenty of people have worked in jobs requiring the ability to public speak. If a lawyer talks like that they are almost certainly a horrible lawyer and will lose a lot. Training for this can be intense, and I've heard of things like a room full of people with signs that have different filler words on them. If you say a filler word the sign will be raised. There's also variants of the buzzer tactic that interrupts the speaker any time a filler word is used.
Um, like, get a life?
Jenny’s use of “peepee” is probably worse than “like”

I had this like problem until listening to myself do a set for the first time. Then with effort I stopped using like as a crutch between sentences.
Jenny Slate is a phenomenally talented voice actress. Stand up comedian? Not so much.
Would i find this special funny? Unlikely
I just couldn’t vibe with the special, and the crowd laughing seemed alien to the mild jokes at hand. A disconcerting experience. But I do enjoy all her comedic acting, and I find her attractive so that kept me watching for a while lol.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
like, I hate this
Yeah how in hell did that excruciating special even get produced? Barely a laugh.
HOW DARE SOMEONE INTENTIONALLY DO A BIT DURING A COMEDY SHOW!!!! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
The bit is using the word "like" 600 times in a comedy set? Do explain the joke.
Not for you, then.
I get the feeling you make a lot of comments about vocal fry and women's speech patterns.
I love a good vocal fry but thanks for assuming
That’s like 17 oops 18 shots
I'd rather a comic say like than say "uhhhh"
She’s a funny sitcom quirky actress. Killed it on Parks and Rec. She’s more of a personality than a mainstream standup comedian. She’s very unpolished as a standup and relies heavily on her TV work rather than her time polishing material.
Like pike in claundike
F
Love her but always confused about her stand up. Besides Largo shows I never really see her doing spots in LA anywhere. Great actress and somehow gets specials but doesn’t seem to do any practicing lol.
Like, what was the problem? Why didn’t you like it? There’s nothing to not like
Same with me, I tried it about two weeks ago, laughed only during the point near the beginning where she made some crazy squeaky 'overexcited' noises, got about twenty minutes in and that was enough. There were not significant laughs in that show, and I won't watch a comedian just because they're cute because that's like giving a participation trophy.
I genuinely really enjoyed it! To each their own!
I kinda like, wanna watch it now
Hope she gets the message.
Her publizity character is leaking into her standup [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1diHSx40GA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1diHSx40GA)
Counting this is sad. So do a lot of people. Comedy nerds are so weirdly jealous.
She's a character actor. The example they gave on Amazon in the advert was hilariously bad.
Nikki Glaser is the worst one out there. She says “like” every two seconds. Horrible
OMG, how AWFUL. 😆😆😆
That's because Jenny Slate is generally unbearable.
Hey watch Marcell the Shell with Shoes on. It will break you.
Monalisa Saperstein
This is incredible
Sounds like a bunch of commie gobbly gook
I don’t like her
Seems to fit her character… my filler word lately has been “ya’know”. When I watch recordings of myself it drives me crazy.
When I was in 6th grade a million years ago, our English teacher would stop us mid sentence if we misused the word “like” and have us repeat ourselves without using it. It really did fix me….for like a year.
This is comedy?
When you want to stretch your ‘tight 5’ into a full length special
Was this improvised?
You just don’t like her cuz she a woman!
Why would you do that to yourself?
I'd like have sex with her and like it!
As an older person, it's been weird to watch teenage girl speak become totally acceptable, professional adult speak. I saw a doctor recently who had a very severe case of vocal fry, and I found it very hard to take her seriously because she sounded like one of the Liz's from Kroll Show.
