To be honest I am just now catching up to this blog post. When I first read it I had been pretty unaware of Melaney as an entertainer, but over the past month or so I can admit to binging pretty much all of his Netflix specials. The first bit that hooked me was his confession of his fear of 13-year-olds, who of course know how to "make fun of you, but in an accurate way".

Most recently I watched an absolutely hilarious piece of standup titled The Elder Millenial. I practically peed my pants. Iliza quite blatantly reveals a ladies' secrets, while single-handedly roasting the patriarchy as well. (Whoop Whoop!!!) Much like Melaney, she brings tiny interactions that create just enough self-deprecating senses of humor that regularly connect us to a group whether it be a gender, sexuality, age, or race.
For example:
