12 Netflix Original Standup Specials That Will Make You LOL

I spend a great deal of my time watching standup. I like to think of myself as a standup comedian aficionado so I watch just about any special on Netflix. These are some of the best comedians and specials I've watched on Netflix, some so good I've watched more than once.

1. John Mulaney - Kid Goregous

Instagram

John Mulaney is by far my favorite comedian and all three of his Netflix specials are FANTASTIC. "Kid Gorgeous" is his newest one but I highly recommend them all.

2. Tom Segura - Mostly Stories

Instagram

Tom Segura is a bit different in his comedy as he is pure sarcasm. "Mostly Stories" is great and so is any other special he has.

3. Hasan Minhaj - Homecoming King

Instagram

I love comedians that talk about their life. Hasan Minhaj does just that by basically telling you his entire life and little stories about growing up the child of immigrants and the weight that holds.

4. Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher - The Honeymoon Standup Special

Instagram

I was not sure I would enjoy this but I was totally wrong. Married couple and expecting parents (at the time), Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher, kill it in this three-part special.

5. Ryan Hamilton - Happy Face

Instagram

I've rewatched this many times because something about it is still constantly funny. Ryan Hamilton will have you rolling on the floor.

6. Ali Wong - Baby Cobra

Instagram

"Baby Cobra" is Ali Wong's first special and it's just as funny as her more recent special Hard Knock Wife. She relays the life of being a mom and wife in a completely comical way!

7. Jen Kirkman - Just Keep Livin'?

Instagram

This is Jen Kirkman's second special on Netflix and it's so different from her first. A complete turn around from the first, Jen will have you dying.

8. Judd Apatow - The Return

Instagram

You've seen his movies and TV shows but you probably haven't seen him do standup. Judd Apatow makes a return to the stage and you wouldn't even know he hasn't done standup in years.

9. Joe Mande - Joe Mande's Award Winning Comedy Special

Instagram

I honestly don't know what to say about Joe Mande's special other than just to watch it. His stories are ridiculous and you'll just want to hear them from yourself.

10. Sarah Silverman - A Speck of Dust

Instagram

She's crass but we love her. Sarah Silverman gives you exactly the type of comedy you'd expect and it's amazing!

11. Hari Kondabolu - Warn Your Relatives

Instagram

Another special I was surprised by, Hari will have you laughing over his mother and wanting to try all the different types of mangos the world has to offer.

12. Katherine Ryan - In Trouble

Instagram

A Canadian gem living in England, Katherine Ryan pushes boundaries with her comedy. You'll love her stories of Canada and her daughter.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
