Acerca de esta escucha
After years of painstaking, round-the-clock research, surviving on a mere twenty minutes of sleep a night, and collaborating with lexicographers, plumbers, and mathematicians, DeGeneres has crafted a work that is both easy on the ears and very funny. Along with her trademark ramblings, The Funny Thing Is...contains hundreds of succinct insights into her psyche, and offers innovative features including: more than 50,000 simple, short words arranged in sentences that form paragraphs; thousands of observations on everyday life, from terrible fashion trends to how to handle seating arrangements for a Sunday brunch with Paula Abdul, Diane Sawyer and Eminem; all twenty-six letters of the alphabet read aloud.
Sure to make you laugh, The Funny Thing Is... is Ellen in top form.

Brooke Shields never had what anyone would consider an ordinary life. She was raised by her Newark-tough single mom, Teri, a woman who loved the world of show business and was often a media sensation all by herself. Brooke's iconic modeling career began by chance when she was only 11 months old, and Teri's skills as both Brooke's mother and her manager were formidable. But in private she was troubled and drank heavily.

Historia
Clinton Kelly is probably best known for teaching women how to make their butts look smaller. But in I Hate Everyone, Except You, he reveals some heretofore unknown secrets about himself, like that he's a finicky connoisseur of 1980s pornography, a disillusioned critic of New Jersey's premier water parks, and perhaps the world's least enthused high school commencement speaker.

Historia
Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub “Catch a Rising Star” as a 21-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. “Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders,” Seinfeld writes. “So I have everything I thought was worth saving from 45 years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.”

Historia
Louie Anderson has been channeling his beloved mom in his iconic stand-up comedy for decades - but she passed away before getting to see him reach new heights with his breakout role. Hey Mom is Louie's way of catching Ora Zella Anderson up on everything that has been going on in his life, including his continued struggles with food and family, but also how so much has changed for the better. He also has plenty of laugh-out-loud stories about his incredibly resilient mother and his 10 siblings, as well as observations on the absurdities of life.

Historia
What do the lives of Lincoln, Helen Keller, Joan of Arc, and other historical figures have in common with Paula Poundstone? In the hands of this wryly observant and self-deprecating comedian, the answer is outrageously funny and unexpectedly touching. Poundstone compares her crazy life to theirs, as she holds forth on her children, her career, and the time in her life when it appeared she would lose them both.

starts out hilarious
...but sadly, peters out towards the end. I have always been a fan of Ellen's stand-up, and in the first part of the book I was laughing out loud. (good thing I was at home listening to this, or I'm sure I would have gotten some funny looks for my unexplained bursts of spontaneous laughter..) It loses 'funny' when she tries to slip in some 'political agenda' material, ie: advocating for gay rights, same-sex marriage, blah-blah-blah. I could give two-hoots about these issues, truly, and they have no place in a work of comedy, unless you are making fun of them. That's the place of comedy. Good comedy advocates nothing and can make you laugh about anything. Also her depiction of God as a black woman is so clich?. It's been done. That whole God-as-a-woman thing lost it's 'funny' a long time ago.
I'm not sure this was worth the money I paid for it, but I at least really enjoyed the first part, and will probably listen to it again.

Excellent
I'm not an Ellen fan at all, but I got a sample of it on my MP3 player, and I listened to it, it was the most hysterical thing i've heard in a long time, I bought the audiobook and it is so much fun to listen to when I need a kick. This book is a great buy, if you have a sense of humor.

Pure Ellen
This book was funny. If you want some VERY light listening about nothing that will make you laugh, this is for you. If you are looking for insights into the working of the world and politics and religion, look else where. Ellen is her typical rambling self in this book, which is narrated by herself. She does however provide some real "Hmmmm..." moments. But she just talks a lot of funny nothing. Very amising book for the train after a hard day at work.

The Funny Thing Is...
I've admired Ellen for 15 or more years, and when I found out that I could download her books on Audible.com I was ELATED!!!!!!!! I have watched her show since it's inception, and she BRIGHTENS my day every single day!!!!!
She is SO GENEROUS AND LOVES TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED!!!! My biggest DREAM is to meet her and maybe tell her my situation.
I am Disabled and totaled my car on December 2, 2015. Since then, I've not been able to continue my volunteer work teaching people how to read and write, and to ring the bell for the Salvation Army during their Red Kettle Campaign. I've been volunteering for 3 years and I feel so lost, and with being on Disabled, I only make 911.00 a month and that just barely pays my bills!!!!
If this review makes it to Ellen's desk, I hope she will understand my situation and send me tickets to her show. I JUST LOVE HER SO MUCH AND ADMIRE EVERYTHING SHE DOES!!!!!!
HER AUDIO BOOKS ARE hilarious and thought provocative.
I try to be Kind to everyone as she says at the end of every show.

sadly disappointed
i love listening to ellen. i loved her stand-up specials and i like her style. unfortunately this book is too sarcastic and pointless. i think it tried to be funny instead of have something substantial to say. i couldn't get past the "jokes" that didn't make the "advice" clear. i got more helpful advice from her actual stand-ups. i love ellen, but i don't love this book, sorry.

Ellen is funny!
Whatever you're doing, she forces you to laugh out loud.
She wound up naked in three skits, and I still can't get that out of my mind ... and I don't want to.

If you like Ellen's standup...
Where does The Funny Thing Is... rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
"The Funny Thing Is..." ranks right up there with all of the audiobooks I have listened to. The only drawback, I wished it was material I hadn't seen before. A few of the chapters were word for word the same as a few stand up routines. I guess I don't mind the really funny stuff...which is pretty much the entire book. Never mind, I take it all back.
What other book might you compare The Funny Thing Is... to and why?
Tina Fey's Bossypants. Same humor all around.
Which scene was your favorite?
The Things That Are Bothering Me Today (or something to that effect)....very funny and you are thinking..."Me too!!!" the whole time.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laugh out loud in the middle of dehydrating slides at work just to have co-scientists look at me probably asking "what the heck is so funny about dehydrating slides?"
