Leah Rudick on Barbies

Happy National Day of Rock 'n' Roll! Hello, I’m Geoff Plitt, and welcome to What You Need to Know, the brief, weekly newsletter where I share the best comedy videos I’ve seen all week. It will always be free, and you’re welcome to become a friend by following me on Twitter, Threads, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every day.

Are you on Threads yet? It’s a new alternative to Twitter that looks like a lot of fun. Follow me here once you join!

And now, the funny videos you came for:

1. I’ve performed with Leah Rudick several times and she is hilarious as well as super nice in person. She’s got a new Don’t Tell set about Barbies and more:

2. Matthew Broussard is one of the smartest comedians working today. His 2016 special is now available to watch for FREE! Matt talks about how he looks like a villain, explains why college is basically a social experiment, and reveals the least sexy thing you can say to a woman:

3. Rob Corddry’s This is Not Happening set from 2015 is also now available to watch for free:

4. Yes, The Daily Show is on hiatus due to the WGA strike, but they’re still putting out some great compilations of past segments, including this one on Taylor Swift:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
