6 jokes from the year's funniest comedy Hacks

If you are a comedy fan, you will love it. If you are not, it will tempt you into the comedy. Today I'm going to introduce to you an HBO comedy Hacks that is being updated. Beginning in the first season in May 2021, Hacks is an Emmy-nominated hit. While the heroine is an old lady in her 70s.

Jean Smart plays Deborah Vance, a Las Vegas comedy diva. How would you describe this woman? She is diligent, tough, never backing down, and, with the sparkle that comes naturally to a comedian. In this video, let's take a look at the hilarious jokes this old lady has told.

No. 6 What is a funny joke?

In the first episode, when Ava and Deborah meet for the first time, they don't like each other. Deborah criticizes Ava's jokes as not funny. Ava thinks Deborah's performance is outdated. However, Deborah is inspired to modify Ava's joke in an instant. The older, the wiser. It sounds not elegant but powerful, and, really funny.

A: What if it's something like Senator Rogers has been in the closet so long, all his friends are mothballs?

D: Mothballs. Senator Rogers has been in the closet so long, he shits mothballs.

No. 5 How to make a speech at a party?

Speaking of a toast is definitely a piece of cake for Deborah. At her daughter DJ's birthday party, Deborah uses two contrasts to create a great joke. When it comes to her and her daughter, it is also a very strange mother-daughter relationship. Kaitlin Olson, who plays DJ, once starred in the comedy The Mick, but unfortunately, it was banned after two seasons. Her performance in Hacks is also very interesting. I will continue to make videos to explain other characters in Hacks. Don't forget to follow me.

D: DJ, we haven't always seen eye to eye, and I know that you like to say that actually my career is my favorite child, but that's not true. I like you both the same.

No. 4 When SHE becomes the host of Late Night

After Deborah officially hires Ava, the first job arrangement is to let her watch all the videotapes of her early years. Young people who grow up in the Internet Z era will only feel bored when they hear the interview jokes in the past. However, when she watches a video of the show that has never been aired, she suddenly realizes that Deborah's comedic talent is just the tip of the iceberg. She is so desperate, so sharp, but still subject to her female identity.

D: This is "Late Night" and yes, I am a woman. I know it's very confusing. My accountant didn't even know what to put on my tax returns, so he just wrote "mouthy broad".

No. 3 How does a professional comedian cry?

At Ava's father's funeral, Deborah uses her rich acting experience to make the heavy and awkward atmosphere easy-going and warm. Ava is in the throes of losing her father, and Deborah sits aside, teaches her the secret to crying, instead of comforting. Of course, this secret is sure to make Ava and all the audience laugh.

D: Crying, gives you wrinkles. You need to learn how to cry without moving your forehead at all. It's like...

A: That's how you cry?

D: Yeah, I trained myself. I'm a pro. Plus, you know, a little injection here and here doesn't hurt either.

No. 2 The more common, the more absurd, the funnier

The story of Deborah and her ex-husband is not what the news tells. And Ava, only after getting to know her deeply, did she realize how much unwarranted infamy this woman has endured. Deborah cites a psychotherapy episode as she recalls her divorce from her ex-husband. She ends her painful memory with a joke, just as all of the audience are mired in sorrow with her.

D: I did therapy. It was part of our custody thing, you know. Unfortunately, the guy was less interested in analysis and more interested in feeling me up.

...

We went on a few dates. And then, after a while, you know, I broke up with him and he, he wanted to do couples’ therapy.

No.1 A pure joke

In my mind, this joke is the pinnacle of Deborah's first season, nothing special, it's just a pure sardonic joke. After hearing it, all I can say is, I've gained some wise.

D: The first thing that we're gonna be selling is foot spas.

A: OK, foot spa. Um, let's see. Feet, toes, pedicure...

D: Wow. It's like watching Picasso sing.
