Like one of your funny friends who always has something witty to say about current events or has biting comments about stupid or mean people, LisaNova's sarcastic take on the world is always funny and interesting and perhaps from out of left field. But she'd be boring if she was predictable, right?
LisaNova is never predictable.
We're one of LisaNova's almost 15,000 YouTube subscribers and always anticipating what she'll produce next.
The extremely photogenic and likable LisaNova has a small team of LA-area actor friends who assist her in pulling off her very funny sketches and poking fun with richly played irony.
Like the video in which she takes on Rush Limbaugh's Attacks on Michael J. Fox. And the one urging us to be more patient in Don't Be a Douche Bag. Unfortunately the funniest part of that sketch doesn't come until minute 5:05. Good stuff just the same because we get to watch Lisa be Lisa. We like you Lisa and everything you stand for, now please, put the gun down.
If only her videos were shorter or edited more concisely. We usually get the humor very early on but the jokes seem to go on a few bits too long. We get it and we're ready to move on. But funny nonetheless. And perhaps that's all just nitpicking anyway when there's plenty of professionally-produced and pro comic videos on YouTube there are laughably unfunny and huge time-wasters.
LisaNova's intelligent, dry blend of mimicry mocks everything from current events and celebrities to other YouTube video bloggers begging to be mocked (LittleLoca) and always strikes the right tone with her vast following. Her fans tune in to view her videos by the millions and offer up both their own humorous video responses and reams of written comments, both of the fan mail variety ("you truly are the queen of YouTube! Please keep up the fantastic work." "marry me Lisa." "fucking great!") and the clueless ("your hair looks stupid." "...and the purpose of this video is???")
Unfortunately some of her fans don't seem to get her dry, ironic humor and apparently think her camera just happened to be there to catch her in a very cute but awkward moment. Like the time she wanted to give a homeless man a dollar in Roses For Lisa Nova but instead she ends up asking other strangers for money. Very funny stuff. But that's OK because they can watch it again and again and eventually get her nuisanced humor mixed with the cutesy Anna Faris ('Scary Movie') voice. We got it Lisa. And we enjoyed it.
We get you Lisa. And we're glad we found you on YouTube. Your videos are better than most of the crap on my tube in the living room any day or night.
