- Paula Poundstone's Cats, Cops, and Stuff... (Part 1)
I don't think they even sold this on VHS. My copy is a reviewer/press copy I got off eBay.
I first saw this when I was little and it still makes me laugh. :)
(c) 1990 HBO - Komedie
My favorite comic. I think she’s brilliant and this is one her best performances. Laughed the entire time. 😂
I was Paula poundstone driver when she performed in Palm desert California. Ms. Poundstone was extremely nice and down to earth, it was an honor and pleasure.
That's awesome! She's always been one of my very favorite comics. 😊❤
I've met her a few times at appearances. She stays and signs whatever we have and takes pictures and is just so nice.
Then you must be so old and it toke you ages to write this comment so thank you for the effort
I just love this....it has been years since I first saw it and have no clue how many times I watched it after that. Paula Poundstone is just fabulous!
My entire life, any time I've ever been pulled over I've thought to myself, "What if you just touch his face?" 😂😂😂
Thank you SO much for uploading this, I watched it when I was little and it's been my favorite special of all time ever since.
She's one of the best stand-ups ever.
HBO never released it. To this day it is still the funniest thing I've ever seen and can be applied to so many things in life. Thank you for uploading!
This is definitely one of the best comedy routines ever. Thanks so much for posting.
I was scrolling through "Death caught on camera" playlists when I discovered Paula Poundstone's playlist oddly right in the middle. I stopped to look at it and enjoyed her very much.
dunno; watching now, but, yeah, always enjoy (on npr.org) her p.o.v.

Ah you ventured over to the Weird Side of CZcams, I see
They have full autopsy videos on here - not kidding, the one I watched was filmed in a less developed country
and the man performing the procedure was using what honestly appeared to be a steak knife on the body
It was interesting but not something I would've suffered without seeing
"I'm thinkin about it"-I love it.I recorded this on VHS a long time ago,and time has taken its toll,so I'm glad I found this.Thanks for posting it!
Yes, love Paula, love her voice, and love her CZcams page, too. Can't get enough of her, and her improv with the audience is superb. Thank you for posting!
I've always been such a Paula Poundstone fan. Her, Kathleen Madigan, and John Pinnette have always been my favorite comics.
I adore Kathleen Madigan!

I love Paula Poundstone's comedy act - she has been a favourite of mine since I saw her the first time - have no idea when that was... the pop tart bit was not the first time but I love that bit - don't know - she cracks me up no matter how many times I watch this - thank yous to whoever put this up - thank you so much.
THANK YOU for uploading this - my favorite ever Paula Poundstone performance. I think I've watched it at least 10 times, and I still crack up every time. :-D
This show is my favorite of hers.
Why...oh WHY...can't I be this funny? She's a genius.
She's one of the best.
Everyone should listen to her podcast "Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone"
This is my favorite of her stand-up specials.
i saw this so many times when i was little. i love her so much. i cant wait to see the snickers commercial part lolll
This woman is a TOP OF THE LINE comedienne. Ladies & gents partake of true GENIUS and LAUGH at life THROUGH PAULA POUNSDSTONE 'S EYES! 💖😅
My mom Loved seeing this again!! Thank You!!
omg, she came up on my comedy radio and it made me so happy. she's so funny!! glad to be reacquainted
She was the 1st stand-up comedian I ever saw. My mom LOVES her!
There's a handful of really good stand up specials and this is one of them.
Paula You are a LEGEND!! Thank the Creator for You Dear Paula Poundstone.... :-) :-) :-)
She is indeed a great comedianne!!
Probably the best female contemporary comic ever, right next to Joan Rivers (RIP) If Joan had a crown to pass down to a new comedy queen, Paula would be crowned. just saw her in Spokane Washington 3 days ago. Incredible show!
Jonathan Adams Ertel. Rivers was just mean
Jonathan Adams Ertel Joan Rivers was foul mouthed and mean.
one of the best comedy routine ever crafted, ive seen this special too many times already... i don't even have to watch it, i remember everything! Well.... one more time wouldn't kill me! ^_^
Thanks for sharing!! Too funny ... especially the don't park here ...and powdered doughnuts 😂😂😂
I think she's just great! I hear her somewhat regularly on NPR radio and she has an extremely quick, sharp and fertile mind. Her constant retorts and comments on NPR are just funny as hell. Some are a bit edgy but they're never really distasteful and she's hands down hilarious. I consider her a real comedic master.
LOL 😂! Truly very funny .... one of a kind ..... Paula is a true comedienne who is original and so very creative. Takes everyday experiences and makes them 😂 hilarious..Love how she interacts with her audience. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😂😂❤️
I LOOOOVED this so much!!! Thank you for sharing this!!
Paula is Perfect!
heard her on National Public Radio's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Sunday show. Wanted to see more.
"Like everyone else just FORGOT to move."
The absolute bar none best Poundstone performance...The cop stickin his big ol cop head in the window....Ma'am do you know how fast you were...TOUCH! *grin*
Thank you for posting!
I also saw this way back "in the day," and loved it. It is one of the oldest memories I have of something my new bride and I laughed about together...
funniest
comic
ever
I like her very much, thank you!
Hey, thank you SO much for uploading this, it's terrific! Do you by any chance have any of her other specials, any footage or audio of stand up she's done?
i know, i'm dying to find the harvard special she did back then too!
Class!
best female comedian i've ever heard.
She is so naturally funny. Wanna see her perform in NY.
Honey, she's wackin' her head, c'mon take this exit. Sweetums, the headwacker's coming right up behind us.
...... THANKS FOR THE "POST"
JUSTFINENOTDANDY! .....FUNNY
STUFF! ...... !
i'd forgot how funny she was/is. in hindsight you can tell she's had a couple, personally idc, just noticed it, and am impressed how well she does her routine. she wouldn't be the first, or the last, it would seem hard to avoid working in clubs.
The only other comic who can make me laugh over and over at the very same footage is Pryor...Paula, you are amazing.
Saw PP when she was becoming a big star, back in the mid 80s in the Haight-Ashbury of SF. She was a riot!
The car window bit was hilarious. "She's wacking her own head, there's no telling what she'll do to us."
within seconds she has her audience in stiches.. . awesome!
She keeps the laughter going for her entire time on stage.
opening = welcome to the early 90's world!
stayed true to the craft
Great comic.
Ya just gotta love the good ol' VHS!!!!!!!!
great stuff
Just to clarify, she had been an active foster parent. At the time of the DUI she had 2 foster kids in addition to the 3 foster kids she had already adopted. The 2 kids were taken out of her foster care and she was not allowed to adopt them and is not allowed to adopt other children. Her 3 adopted children were in foster care for a year (I believe) with daily visitation and then returned to Paula full time. ref: her book There's Nothing in This Book That I Meant to Say
I went to school with some of her children, I remember her advertising her shows at my elementary school in the 90's. Crazy, I didn't know how crazy those years were, I only remember her adopted step-daughter with the crutches on her arms and the paper ads on the school walls about her shows, fuck, crazy memories.
Just great
This performance made it to vinyl and I recorded it to cassette. Yes, it was that good¡
She was pretty cute back in the day
Paula was a great comedian.
Is
seen this about 10 times love her
This is the June 27 felony complaint filed against Paula Poundstone by the Los Angeles District Attorney.
Prosecutors charged the 41-year-old comedian with three counts of performing a lewd act upon the body of a girl under the age of 14. She was also hit with one count of child abuse (which allegedly involved two boys and two girls).
Poundstone was released from the Santa Monica jail after posting $200,000 bail.
Nothing more charming than a young woman who takes after her grandfather.

A mystery
that was kinda like the cosby show intro. I love Paula she is so amazing and talented and funny.
I found this blank tape at a bookstore. It had the first stand-up of Diane Ford, Cathy Ladman, Wendy liebman , Rita Rudner and Paula!
She is so awesome.
First time I've seen a camera blink
I like it.😄😄
I really like you. Paula thank you!
I bet people from the VHS era find the way the image is sucked over to the right at the top strangely nostalgic.
Brendon's mom 😂😂😂
VHS would even be good enough.
Add 20 years or more to anyones age, no one looks great, unless they have had plastic surgery. Paula has been through majpr trauma due to her legal problems. All she had was a DUI, not child abuse, NO sexual abuse. The legal system and the media dragged her through the mud, publically humiliated her and the unfounded charges will remain a stigma for the rest of her life. She lost custody of 2 of her children. I am just glad to see her performing, she looks pretty good considering
Aware Citizen Alerts Many
WHY IS THIS NOT ON DVD?? It's a crime.
Awesome
I know of a few female "comedians" today that could learn a thing or two about being funny from Ms. Poundstone!
Some male comedians, as well!
Classic!!!!!
@ihavegarbageopinions = proof that scandal sells. The child molestation charge was never proven. Poundstone plead no contest to child endangerment because she had been dui with the kids in the car. She did rehab immediately.
The child who made the accusation was a hard to place foster child with whom Paula had entered therapy in order to help the child deal with issues and to improve their rocky relationship. Even seasoned social workers doubted the accusation.
Heaven love her....what a gem. and sorry....from the wait down she is perfect
I think she is wonderful💝
Oh man, I lived in San Francisco down the street from a comedy club. That could have been my garage. Don’t mess with a San Franciscans parking space.
I was just thinking that! =)
I can't find this anywhere on dvd! you said you found it on ebay?
That's what I decided. Maxim made it onto my 10 biggest loser magazines with that list.
Anyone know if this is sold anywhere? She cracks me up.
Paula - I miss you!
So strange hearing Brendon Small's mum in a different environment. Maybe I'm being nieve. Her voice just sounds like she's lived, which suited playing a mother. I'm talking about Home Movies if anyone is wondering. It's a good show if you haven't seen it.
Lol yes that's why I had to look her up haha
she's SO cute .. and hilarious
LOL "Alert citizen alerts many".
Just found her...paula is the best
❤️
One of the most underrated comedians of our time... She's well-rehearsed, but seems to thrive on spontaneity... Want to Heckle her? Go ahead!... She'll light your @ss up ! We love yu Paula... ( please don't ever make fun of Boosh or Nobama ...you'll end up like Joan Rivers)
STOP BLINKING!!!
He's self-concious about his BO
Maxim put Paula on their list of worst 10 comedians. The rest of that list failed to make sense as well.
