just got in my first post-dead mom shouting match with a lady whose mask was around her chin. Gotta admit, it felt good to yell “My mom died four days ago, pull your fucking mask up” in a pet store.
Aubrey, my mom is dying of COVID, I’m watching it right now on Facetime. The palliative care team says her bed will be ready for you in 12-24 hours. See you then!
So I am just watching my mom sleep and cough in her hospital bed, over Facetime, trying to gulp down these last moments having a mom. This is all happening so fast.
Throwback to when I complained to the other Conan writers about the WB security guard who threatened to ban me from the lot if I lost another ID. Everyone was on my side, then one writer asked how many IDs I’d lost and I said “17” and they all turned on me.
I am your friend*. If you’re getting peer pressured this holiday season to do some unsafe celebrating, you can say, “Sorry, I’m paranoid, my friend’s mom died from COVID.” And I will back you up!
Norm MacDonald was a true GOAT. As a comic, as a talk show guest. A true original. He tweeted this to me as my dad was dying from cancer in 2014, “I’m just an idiot, Laurie but I found when I embraced the pain as tightly as I could it became love. I pray for you.” RIP Norm. 🇨🇦
Mom’s doctor confirmed that COVID is what’s killing her, so all you fucks who went to the beach on Memorial Day, I hope your sunburns turn to skin cancer, and I hope you catch it too late for treatment. 🙏🙏🙏

: Having a daughter does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man. Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man.
The 18 yo who jumped off a cruise on a dare and is now dead, I can’t stop thinking about him and his parents. EVERY teenager is thisclose to doing something that dumb for laughs. My son said “don’t worry Mother, I will not jump off a cruise,” ok son but WHAT ELSE would you do?
My mom died from COVID before the vaccines, so I don’t want anyone else’s mom getting the vaccine. JK, I was just seeing what its like to be one of the “don’t cancel student loan debt because I paid mine off” crowd. Feels shitty! No thanks!
My dad hated the Daily Show because it was “liberal” but he loved the Colbert Report. I think conservatives don’t get political satire, so they believe the joke is on “their side.”
Normally, if your father and uncle were shot to death, if your brother ODed, if your other brother crashed into a tree and died, if your cousin crashed his plane into the sea, if your aunt was given a lobotomy and if your kids’ mom hung herself, I would have empathy for you.
I just witnessed a gold medal effort at small talk: a guy started telling me about the carbon monoxide in my mask, so I said “my mom died of COVID so stop with the COVID bullshit.” Pause. He apologizes then says, “so, is it your first time in Wisconsin?”
What if Elon Musk pulled Tesla out of Texas because of it’s restrictive abortion laws, what if men were as mad about that as they are about CA state taxes?
The biggest lesson I’ve learned from this Kate MIddleton stuff is that lots of non-royals in the UK are waiting 4 months or longer for cancer treatment.
Schools are not planning to follow a traditional bell schedule.
Instead, individual pods of students will travel through unidirectional hallways at specific times, including, in some cases, for pre-scheduled bathroom breaks.
I’m a parent and if a college is:
1) in a state that banned abortion
or
2) allowing snipers to aim AR-15s at peacefully protesting students…
They’re off the list.
Covid-19 is the leading cause of death for law enforcement officers nationwide, according to report by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
Just had The Talk with my son, you know the ole “don’t open the classroom door during a school shooting because the kid knocking on the door could be the mass shooter” talk. Love to be an American mom!
What if, after 9/11, 747s continued to be flown into American buildings on 9/12, 9/13, 9/14... daily through June of 2002 because Florida and Texas didn’t want to check for boxcutters at their airports?
Ok, everyone’s moving to Texas because they have no state income tax, but if you’ve tried to walk on a Texas sidewalk, you know they could used a little state income tax.
Thank you for sending love to my mom but really it’s my dead dad who needs your thoughts and prayers. I’m sure he thought he’d get a few more years to himself.
Sophie tried to make outside money and failed, came crawling back. Sarah Ferguson is so bad at making money, she lives with her pedo-ex for free housing. They like failure. They want M/H to fail and come home. But Meghan is about to make baaaaaank, that’s why they’re pissed.
Getting hammered with sister, on multiple kinds of booze. Up now: Vodka (mom’s fav) and this Violet stuff. Violet was mom’s mom, and she died when mom was 16 and it really fucked mom up. Hopefully, Mom’s catching up with Violet now so CHEERS TO MY LADY ANCESTORS!
It's very stressful to love a person and hate their politics, but after their death, their politics go away and you're left with love. And books to burn.
Below is a statement, not a joke. The “whores” line is a continuation of the set up, it is not a punchline. Here is a sample joke using this same set up: “Spare me the ‘many woman don’t know they’re pregnant for 6 weeks.’ Most women know I’m a douchebag within 2 seconds.”
