In her latest special, “Come On, Who Cares?”, she delivers a performance that is both outrageous and relatable, blending personal anecdotes with her signature deadpan delivery. This blog post delves into some of the most memorable moments from her show, including her notorious g-string bit, her email battles with her mom, and her unexpected take on the city of Philadelphia.
The G-String Over the Shoulders
One of the standout moments in “Come On, Who Cares?” is when Chelsea Peretti hoists her g-string over her shoulders. This outrageous act isn’t just for shock value; it’s a perfect example of Peretti’s ability to push boundaries while making a poignant statement. The g-string bit is a metaphorical stripping away of societal norms and expectations, showcasing her fearless approach to comedy. She uses physical comedy to highlight the absurdity of certain fashion trends and societal standards imposed on women, turning a simple piece of clothing into a powerful comedic tool.
The Email Battles with Mom
Chelsea’s relationship with her mother is another rich source of material for her comedy. In “Come On, Who Cares?”, she recounts hilarious and often frustrating email exchanges with her mom.

Questioning Philadelphia’s Integrity
In a surprising twist, Chelsea Peretti sets her sights on the city of Philadelphia. Her comedic critique of the city’s integrity is both unexpected and sidesplitting. Peretti’s humor here is less about the actual city and more about the concept of questioning and challenging widely held beliefs. By playfully attacking a beloved city, she encourages her audience to think critically and laugh at the arbitrary nature of civic pride. It’s a bold move that showcases her ability to tackle big concepts through a comedic lens.

She is hilarious 😂
She looks like a hotter version of Lauren Lapkus or DJ Qualls sister
Soo Good! 🙂
I swear the worst thing about being vegan is going out to dinner and someone always asking me to clarify what vegan means, what made me decide to "go vegan", what changes has it made in my life, etc. Damn can I just eat my food?!? It's ALWAYS other people that want to talk about it. And I've never known another vegan that brings it up either
Fun fact: She is married to Jordan Peele now!
She went on to marry famous horror movie creator and sketch comedian, Jordan Peele, in 2016.
I don’t think if she was Muslim and wore the hijab she would be a 10😂
😊😊😊#loveoverallwisdom = יֵשׁוּעַ =ruach ha-kodesh = Yaweh
She's a 6.5
6:18 Peele workshopping the mattress skit.
Wow congratulations you made both Jews and Italians look bad. Is this scripted for that purpose or just what you actually think is funny? I'm sure saner Italians and Jews don't appreciate you pushing things that cause bad to terrible thoughts, division and are insulting or worse. Some things are just not funny to most people including many Jews and Italians such as joking about screwing moms, God and Jesus. Sheesh. How about being more considerate of others of all types?
…And 67 entourage
Chelsea Peretti looks like Hunter from adult GHS.
Very very funny. I love to think what is going through her brain daily to come up with some of this material😊
God damn essays

Geez, this was painful to watch.
She is drop dead gorgeous to me idc.🥰Would never have watched Brooklyn 99 with out her presents.
Well, he didn’t say “ Mother of God!” That’s a relief 😆
Just happy to see nobody was like, 'anyone here in 2024?'. That is super annoying. Chelsea is awesome, deal with it. What set you got? Didn't think so
Chelsea Peretti got some really adorable jokes.
As a Jew with a Christian father I relate (my last name is the most Christian thing ever, I mean someone in my dad’s family literally started a branch of Christianity 😂) It’s funny how much Christian people get confused tho. The amount of times people have asked me if I think Jesus is the messiah is insane.
When terrible actresses try to do stand up
This was great. Thanks 😊
Women comedians. So insecure she can’t even share the stage with the mic stand
Didn't fully like it, I'm kinda disappointed
perettis probs one of the best female comedians tbh
Average
Isn't it so great, that they censor out the punch lines? Oh, wow. I'll censor out clicking 'like' and 'subscribe'.

I believe I recognized Jordan peels voice on that phone
Seems like a lot of people in the comments relate a bit to the guy in the first tape.
