The One About Pets

Quote for the day "Its a scoop neck". Lol that tickled me. Momo, Bob is right again. Don't call me uppity unless you see me spending money/shopping and even then mind ya business.

TheEmerald King

🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 love you guys 😍

W.S.

I don’t find uppity offensive. I’ve used it to describe people or things before and no one has checked me on it. I feel it is synonymous bougie.

Skin care routines please!

Tavia

revellers as partygoers is common usage! and doesnt negate revelling ie basking

.jazbati

When he said “it’s a nar fa me” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I grew up in NC...uppity was a negative term! Like “that uppity slave doesn’t know their place”. Bougie Is so different

Uppity and bougie don't share the same connotation. They share the same denotation. I completely agree with Bob--that is not a word to use to describe black people.

Im from NYC like Monet and the word uppity has never been seen as offensive, this is news to me, so I understand Monet's perspective.

YinkaBeauty

Bob's giggle at 15:40 after Mo's Jamaican patois🤣🤙 can we get an accent contest? 😁

Kelly in CT

From pets to maggots, what a journey

Debby Randolph

It is NOT a Hebrew name!

aight i'm white (if you couldn't tell from this last name) but i went to a predominantly black school in the south and you cannot walk around calling people uppity. monet, don't come down here saying uppity.

Holly O'shaughnessy

Uppity is fighting words! Lol

Sheena

Upitty is definitely condescending 😂 I agree w bob

Sorry Monet, On this one Bob is correct about the word "uppity". :(

i would fight someone if they called me uppity! haha

Naaman Brown

I’m white but I said uppity one time when I was younger and my mom got on to me and told me I’d was not a nice word and that white poeople use it to insult black people.

yeah uppity means you think you're better than everyone else. it's a yikes to call a black person that.

I went to that tour with meet n greet ticket;) Bob called me shrimp lol.

Calling a black person uppity is definitely NOT a compliment.

Furi Miles

why dat cat nekkid

ya'll got me out here payin $5 to laugh. Isss wort it tho

This episode was so good!

JoJofrmSeattle

Uppity has a nasty history. I would not call another black person that...

Uppity is like Sadiddy, it has a more negative connotation compared to bougie (but all three have a negative stereotype). However, none of them are as dramatic as you making it Bobula Caldwell BOOOOOOOOOOOB Omg where is that top from?? Wow beautiful

JoJofrmSeattle

Monét...Can you explain to me why you thought it was appropriate to share that sad ass story about a dog being murdered by maggots? What in the world was the audience supposed to gain from that...more sadness?!!

Sorry Colleen* 🤦🏽‍♀️

Monet, Collen is the prettiest hairless cat I have ever seen 😻 i honestly used to think they look like drowned rats but Collen has changed my opinion 😽

Totally agree with you! And Bob (again) lol

So the main reason I upgraded to cousin was I had a feeling Bob did that hand gesture with her palm and omg I literally screamed when I finally saw it. Looool

Terrah Card

I’m finally a cousin! :)

White Southerners used the word “uppity” throughout history to describe Black people who violated their expectations of deference, or who they viewed as “not knowing their place.” In these situations, “uppity” was often followed by the word “n*gger.” Even recently, conservative critics have referred to President Obama and Michelle Obama as “uppity.” Sorry Monét. Bob is right (again).

now i cancelled my amazon i have enough money to be a cousin i love being a fiscally responsible person with taste

We love seeing the number of patrons going up!

Shane McConnell

I’ll second the sentiment that your marketing strategy was very effective. When I came back from the kitchen and couldn’t see the video anymore I immediately married into your family. Hey cuz

Dawson Land

Well done Bob & Monet that lil 10 minutes of the video stunt worked!! Im officially a cousin 🥳 🥰

omg 😂😂

aina

Uppity is def worse than bougie

Yeah, uppity is like saying you're "trying to act white" lol I'm from nyc and though I'm not offended by that, I know a lot of Black people that would be xD

It's so nice to see y'all lovely faces! So happy that I'm now a cousin on patreon =]

Keekster

I'm glad I joined this Patreon. Y'all are so entertaining and the comment sections are really nice

Aime Polivka

Uppity is the bell ding to how a fight starts!!! Black military brat here, I have to side with Bob!

Is it me or is Monet a lil high? Lol

Stef B

bobs face when monet was describing her and colleens bond gksjdhgksd

I thought I’d imagined that! Thank you. I haven’t lost my mind! 🐈

Can we please just agree that when Bob discusses the usage of language he’s pretty much always spot on.

Colleen is a tiny little dream and I would die for her and her outrageous ears.

Iskandar (they, them)

London, UK here. Revellers = partygoers, but like with echoes of Shakespearean plays, Elizabethan times, you know? Like, it very much conjures images of medieval feasts, goblets of ale, whole roast birds, masquerades and either roaring fires or dancing in wooded glades by the light of the midsummer moon. I enjoy the term.

Iskandar (they, them)

I am in love with colleen omg

KSolstice

i hope colleen does monets googling during the podcast when she grows up

Not Mango calling herself uppity at the end 💀 sis

Blk woman here, uppity ain't cute....it has negative racist connotations. Uppity is what white slave owners would call enslaved ppl who felt they were getting too big for their britches, or who were out of their place. Negro is offensive if a white person says it. If a black person calls me negro its fine. Colored and uppity are out and offensive. Negro and black are fine from other black folks. Whie ppl are only allowed to say black and African American. Period. Bourgeoisie is the nice way to say uppity but only blacks can say it to other blk. White folks aren't allowed to say either to me. Dem da rules. Ps I am from dallas texas

Bob also obviously watched Disclosure

Raven Powell

DUTTY WINE! DUTTY WINE!! I've watched that bit 20 times 😭😭😭

Come thru teeth!!!

isn't uppity like what slave owners would call their slaves sometimes?

Yess I just had to join the Patreon family now. Ps I be dying when I sometimes hear Bob trying to use a Jamaican accent on Monet.

also that born by the river video is fuckin iconic lmao

AngelusBuffy

Who's here after they cut the video 10 minutes in? 🙋🏾‍♀️ pretty sneaky, sis 😂

Raven Powell

I've been watching (listening) to your podcast on YouTube. I decided to stop being cheap and to help support you guys. I love you guys.

uppity is NOT it.

They are the same. Bougie just recently got positive connotations. White might have been racialized more, but bougie is what Black people called uppity blacks.

DJ McIver

I think it's also about like how you are using it and that person's relationship to you. Bougie can be taken just as offensively depending on the context. Ive heard uppity and bougie interchangeably in my life and had friends use it casually to me and it's w/e like calling your friend a *insert slur here* or something lol. But I guess when i think about it uppity does sound a bit harsher lol but that just my experience

AngelusBuffy

Link to words and phrases with racist connotations- including uppity https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/06/us/racism-words-phrases-slavery-trnd/index.html "It was and remains an insulting way to describe a Black person because it suggests that they are 'too big for their britches' or are demonstrating a sense of dignity or autonomy they are not supposed to possess."

bougie refers to status, class.... uppity refers to attitude, demeanor

"Most victims of lynching were political activists, labor organizers or black men and women who violated white expectations of black deference, and were deemed "uppity" or "insolent."' https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/emmett-lynching-america/

Don't call me uppity, bitch

I cannot input if uppity is offensive, but I can tell you that it sure ain’t a word in my vocabulary

I love Monet's impression of Shequida. If yall are going to have guests, I think she would be a great one.

If Bob was wondering why those Christmas Queens tickets didn't sell in the UK it's because we all went to that tour the year before and mama, it was garbage. Michelle Visage singing Silent Night... Thorgy playing the goddamn fiddle... it made me hate Christmas

Same! My white, British butthole clenched on instinct.

As Trini myself I can confirm that we call a some Black people uppity for example my grandma back in like the 70s was looking for directions and two singers (Ashford & Simpson) ignored her completely when they were right there in front of her 😂

Hearing Colleen meow/meu in the background :D. Maybe Bob could deal with an older cat/dog cuz you just feed/wash and occasionally play with them, unlike young pets, cuz they are like human babies totally

Cierra Sullivan

hey if y'all want someone to add captions to your videos, lemme know! as a cousin/uncle/aunt (depends on the age) i'd be more than happy to :)

Jared Grumney

hi new patreon subscriber here!!! love you guys

Gaby

Right!!! 😂😂😂 Monét

Bob The Drag Queen & Monét X Change

woah why wasn’t I notified about this!!!

aina

My bf said Monet’s cat looks like raw chicken 😭

That “don’t take care of your shit” line really hit Bob in the heart

Aryan Peralta

Dutty wine dutty wine...cackling commences.

I feel like uppity is meant to be nasty. Butttttt idc

Uppity definitely makes me feel some type of way lmao

Monét's whoopi impression dskalfjlskaslfd

Anthony St. John

I'm from England and I feel the word uppity is reserved for white people refering to POC that are perceived as aloof.

And we Jamaicans refer to “bougie” people as “stoosh”

“Uppity” is def offensive. It’s what white people called black people that were acting above their “class”

As a white person “uppity” is something you will never find me calling anyone let alone a black person 💀

Uppity is fightin words!

LaWanda Wakanda

Uppity is on the same level as coon imho, but to each their own. Colleen needs a song about her to the beat of Jolene!

Monét has my dream cat!!!!!

Trash Ketchum

COLLEEN😍😍😍😍

Angie S

Being called uppity would offend me 100%

Monet Colleen is Irish for girl 👧

GSmith

I wish someone would call my ass uppity...would beat they ass so quickly.

Megan

Wow Sandra Caldwell's story is amazing

Derek Williams

But the "Rivalries" as a fanbase name is sickening too lol

Derek Williams

Uppity doesn’t even usually enter my vocab usually but it is most definitely has a negative air about it lol

What in the season 1 filter is going on? 😂😂😂

West Indians we do use “uppity” a lot lol

I'm a Trini West Indian and I love y'all both 🇹🇹💖 I don't call people uppity lol.

Aisling

Maybe it's a Southern thing, but uppity is more of an insult than bougie.

we love to see it, lol

I agree with Monet, Uppity isn’t offensive to me and I think of it just like bougie. Also, when y’all do the video podcast you should do a little improv game. WE LIVEEEEE FOR THOSE!!!!

Christopher Johnson

I love these videos. Thank You!

Robert Rumsey

I'm white but I remember being told uppity was racist when I was in high school 15 years ago.

You can’t be saying “uppity.” Also, as the English teacher and seeing people getting it twisted in the comments: denotation-dictionary definition; connotation-personal connections/feelings given by a word.

First coon now uppity Monèt? You learn this from Meghan McCain?

Damn idk what’s been going on lately because I USUALLY agree with bob but lately Monet has just been on point 😂 I agree that uppidy is definitely rude, but the connotation of both words is the same by definition. Y’all make me think fr fr 🥴😂😭

Uppity, bougee, and sadiddy, are offensive. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️. Especially depending on how it’s used and who’s saying it.

Jay_Caanodii

I am a gay woman and I am so strangely attracted to Monét in boy form that it’s terrifying me and making me question everything 😂

Georgia

One of my mom's stories about my grandma born in the 1910's was that a few years ago she told my mom "You know, I always wanted a colored friend" loudly, in a doctors waiting room. My mom was so embarrassed.

I think Monet is a lil more right about the bourgeoise except they didn't think they were rich, they just were. The bourgeoise was the land owning, worker-exploitative class. They were originally the middle class between nobility and peasants/workers/proletariat but now we'd just consider that upper class because our economic systems have shifted. Anyway, I think that and uppity both have negative connotations !!

M808

NOT UPPITY!!!!

Gayle King Kong

Monet is looking fine right here tbh...skin on fleek

This was such a good episode!!! I howled with laughter!

Bob and Monet! If you like big dogs I have a Saint Bernard here in the upper east side that would love to meet you x)

Y’all are too much

Y’all look BYOOT IFUL

SAY THEIR NAME

Clemenza

Sorry Monét but uppity is not okay. Especially when referring to black folks. But I still Love you both! 🖤🖤

Diamond Nicole

I'm fucking DEAD I am 4th generation Italian/Irish - from Long Island and both sides they all claim our heritage very seriously, I've been guilty too. Love you guys. 🥰🙈

In case you're curious! Christopher is from the ancient greek ("fero" in greek and latin means "to bear")

Bob needs to voice act for the Pokémon, Mew 🙏🏼

Sir Ian Luca

I'd argue the difference is in the history of the usage of the terms. Bourgeoisie was a term white people called other white people, its derivative bougie is a term people of color often use for each other. Uppity strikes me as a term white people historically have used to describe black people.

uppity is offensive lmao

No uppity is not a word we say unless we really dislike people.

Tre Willz

Uppity definetley has negative connotations to it. Especially when used to describe black people.

Naaman Brown

Uppity is DEFINITELY a term, and Bob used it correctly Monet. I can’t believe you’ve NEVER heard it! 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ #BlackCardREVOKED

Monet gets a cat and starts licking their own shoulder Haha

Toko Kemp

My aunties use “with her uppity ass, thinking she cute” hahah fighting words.

Ashley Brown

Yes! My morning meds! ❤️

Oh fuck yeah baby! I love you guys!

And, for the record, “uppity” definitely has a negative connotation. I’d be TIGHT if somebody called me “uppity”. Them fighting words...

Shyla

I listened to the audio this morning on Stitcher - but I’m ready to watch both your faces bring some sunshine to my day!

Shyla

YAYYYYY😍
