8/22/17. She's from Long Island, OK? She's a Jewish Princess, OK? Knowing this you can expect some funny stuff without all the melodrama. She covered raunchy without the language. I have never heard of her, but I found her observational humor enjoyable, and her vignettes about being a single woman and navigating dating to be hilarious.

Joke Thief

Warning: Spoilers
Overall her comedy is not for me. If you are also an old woman who is slightly unhinged, you might love it. In fairness I have seen a lot worse and I did find some jokes funny.
I found one joke in particular very funny. I was thinking about this joke later on and I remembered that I had actually heard it before. I need to put a spoiler warning in order to properly explain this. IMDb also required me to censor some of the language. It should be clear where.
Here is the original joke from Chris Rock's Bigger & Blacker show 'You know what men want? Food, Sex & Silence' It is a great joke. Lynne Koplitz says 'what are men's three favorite things? 1. food to the audience, guess? someone yell BJs then she say's I include that in 2. sex and 3 is for women to shut the f*** up.' I don't know how I could make this any clearer. That is the same joke. I'd believe she thought of any one of the three things independently, but, all three in exactly the same order. She stole his joke. I find that disappointing. It is never okay to steal other people's work like that. What makes it worse is she clearly knows how to write her own jokes. She didn't need to do this.
Like I say, even if her style of comedy is not for me, I have seen worse. However, the joke stealing really bothered me and I had to mention it somewhere.

Spot on funny!

Maybe there is a portion of the population who can not relate to her platform; and I am sorry for those people. But I feel worldly, intellectual and progressive individuals will find this extremely entertaining and realistic. I do think this is a little geared towards women in truth; but can be enjoyed by men as well. I love a strong, forward thinking woman who tells it like it is in the best way possible; Funny.
This wasn't my particular cup of tea...

Alright, well I had never heard about Lynne Koplitz prior to come across the "Hormonal Beast" stand-up comedy show on Netflix. I decided to check it out because I was looking for some laughs and some entertainment.
Right, well she has a couple of good jokes throughout the show, but her setups and deliverance of the punchlines is just not one that appealed much to me. This was because of her sense of humor didn't really match mine all that well. I had a couple of smiles throughout the show, but no laughs.
Not being overly impressed with this particular stand-up comedy show, then I can't really claim to have been tickled in all the right places enough to make me check out any more of her shows, if she have any.

Unbearable
njwyt7 December 2022
I tried twice to make it through this and found the focus on "millennials" with zero awareness that she is actually talking about gen Z (millennials are 31, not 21...) is so beyond trite and tiring it gave me second hand embarrassment. Maybe be bothered to know what a word means before you center your act around it. Totally understandable that comedy is not there to be accurate but when an oversight is this lazy and ill informed it really takes you out of it and breaks down the perspective that she is a competent observer and story teller. Maybe her other specials have some more solid material.
Boring stereotypes
ersbel7 October 2017
The show was boring, bordering unpleasant. The jokes are the usual stereotypes.
Comedy in the form of stand up was started by some people who could not sing and dance, but had something to say. Lynne Koplitz does not have anything to say. But she has a lot of time to fill up. So there you have it: stereotypes. Nice. Cute. Useless. There is no critique. Just plopping one after another. She does not fight the stereotype. She IS the stereotype.
