News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

Brunch with Karey Dornetto (Brunch with Bridget, Episode 42)

This week, Bridget talks to the talented, irreverent, and sometimes neauseous comedian, Karey Dornetto.

Karey is also a writer who has worked on such television shows as Arrested Development, South Park, and The Jamie Kennedy Experiment. But you may know her best in her turn as The L Word creator Ilene Chaiken in her short film, Hi, I'm Ilene... It was a surprise hit with mountain lions everywhere!

The girls talk about Karey's latest short, The Blast, Karey's book 101 Ways to Shave Your Ass, and just for kicks, Karey and Bridget have a "gross-off" to see who can tell the most disgusting story. The prize? Someone else's underwear.

In this scenario, it's safe to say that everyone loses.

Brunch With Karey Dornetto
(Brunch With Bridget, Episode 42)

Watch new episodes of Brunch With Bridget Friday nights at 2 a.m. on LOGO, and watch previous episodes of Brunch here.

Troubles!

Bridget aren't you living dangerously showing off your in-laws underwear? LOL I remember Karman being scared ;-) I guess you're getting away with it by being cute.

I never heard of Karey before, but writing for South Park and Arrested Development is an impressiv resume!

Funny episod, but i'm glad i was done with my cereals when we came to the gross out contest :-p

Everything with passion, nothing with talent...

too cute for words

Great episode...gotta give your mother in law some serious props in allowing you to "air" her underwear!!! I really had to smile when u asked "Using Baby Bridget as a model, show your favorite body part of a woman", and she shows the ass, crotch of baby bridget...that's a great question to ask all ur future guests!!!

Now that you're married, ur should have karman be a guest...lol

Keep up the great work ya doing...

 

Loving ya from CT

Be Well,

My Underwear

Bridget,

I am appaled that you would dare do something like that to embarrass me.  Those were my "big girl"
pants before I went on the Jenny Craig Diet.  I have been in therapy for almost a year and now you have brought back all those bad times, and on the Internet.  I don't know how I will ever be able to look you in the nose again, or how my daughter, who wears a tiny thong, can even speak to you again. 

Since  you have been so hurtful and at this time of year when you are to be especially caring and giving, I want you to know that I am taking your FUCKING XMAS PRESENT BACK.

LOVE YOUR GRANDMOT-- I mean your MOTHER-IN-LAW

DEAR GAIL and YOUR HUGE UNDIES,

Dear Gail,

I am shocked and appalled that your watched this episode of BRUNCH!!! The nursing home told me you were unable to access computers while in your cage.  I guess you'll just need more injections to keep you compliant.  JENNY CRAIG asks that you never mention her organization again because she doesn't want to be affiliated with the likes of you.  

Thank you for the prop undies and for giving birth to Karman's thong-wearing behind.

Love and miss you.

Bridget

p.s. when are you going to be a guest on BRUNCH?

You win.

Gail!

Bridget, you and Gail, well you two are just awesome. She definitely needs to be a guest on Brunch, that would be incredible.

And pretending to have a baby in a mall, that's one of my favorite past times! Okay not really but that would be hilarious. Your gross stories were definitely the grossest things I've heard in a while.

Great episode, the book looks awesome Karey, good pillow fight. Can't wait for next week.

Dearest Bridge,

First, let me apologize to your readers for misspelling appalled.  I was so furious, I didn't even go back and check my spelling.  Second, I need to also apologize for the vulgar language, once again, caused by anger. 

Your readers will now know why I have been in an Assisted Living Arrangement, which heretofore was actually none of their business. But since that is out in the open, there is something that even you don't know.  It might actually make you want to change your tone as well as your attitude towards me.  I won't go into great detail, as I am sure you would want me to, but it involves a close friend and a butcher knife.  I am no longer in that environment as they felt I had completed their program to everyone's satisfaction.   Most of my problems have been caused by anger and many years of mistreatment.  It's under control, trust me.

I have been thinking that I would actually like to come to California and spend some time with you and Karman and get to know you better.  Maybe the two of us could spend some real quality time together while Karman is busy doing other things.  You all are newlyweds and I would truly love to be more involved in your lives.  I have even thought of moving to California just to be nearer to Karman, and of course, you now.  Heck, maybe we could all get a place together, that sounds like fun doesn't it.

Love to  you and Karman and I apologize for threatening to return your Christmas present, I would never do that.

Love and Kisses to my new daughter-in-law

wtf x) so damn funny

hahahahaha I can't belive

hahahahaha I can't belive that's actually Karmans' mum - how cool! Awesome epi as always.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There is too much love in this world to have to deal with hate.

bridgetmcmanus's picture

Dearest Mother Gail-

Let's be honest, no nursing homes will take you because you're a whack-job.  

But please move to Los Angeles because Karman is finally ready to unfreeze her eggs and give you the grandbaby you have been nagging her about.  You could live in our basement and tend to our crying baby girl, Gail Jr.

We know we'd better give you a grandchild before you pass away.  The Reaper is coming up fast. 

xoxoxo 

Your loving daughter-in-law and new Mrs. Kregloe,

Bridget

OMG! I'm laughing my butt

OMG! I'm laughing my butt off here reading the dialogue between you guys! Gail should sooo guest on Bridget's show - that would make the ratings skyrocket :)
playthemusic814's picture

Holy crap...

The comment section has been a hilarious read. And, I agree with the others, "The famous Gail" totally needs to be a guest on Brunch.

WARNING: Very Obvious Statement of Fact Ahead

Bridget McManus is without a doubt one of the most attractive people on the planet.

UNDERWEAR & CHILDREN

BRIDGE,

You are totally out of control and I am truly worried for Karman's safety. 

Me, live in a basement?  That's so wrong and I  hope that your Mother does not happen to read what you have just written to me. Have you no respect for your elders?  I have never put a pet in my basement, much less a human being and my basement is nice.  It has a mural that Karman painted when she was a sophomore in highschool of the Hollywood sign - so it would be fine for a person or an animal.

What on earth makes you think that I want grandchildren?  When I go to a restaurant and they try to sit me anywhere near children I tell them "NO WAY".  I refuse.  So don't be worrying your pretty little head over artifical insemination for me -- I'm not interested.  But, I have always wanted an African Grey Parrott.  They are easy to teach and when you want to shut them up, you cover their cage.  So please, no more talk of children.  So your recollection of my nagging is totally wrong.  I don't nag. 

Bridget, one thing I am famous for though, and all my friends will attest to this -- I NEVER FORGET.

YOUR MOTHER IN LAW

Let's take up a collection

After reading the comment section for this episode, I think all AE members should take up a collection to pay for Gail's airfare to LA.  She must be a guest on the show.  It would be an epic episode - a pillow fight for the ages!

"That which you believe becomes your world."

I'm in

I will donate to that fund...

P.S I put my money on Gail

Gail's picture

YOU ALL ARE EASY

Wanted you to know that Bridget told me a month ago what she had planned and we had a good laugh.

I do hate that you all now know how big my ass is.  I guess eventually you would have found out -- not like I can hide that forever. You would have seen it when Bridget rolls me off the bed in a pillow fight, which she will one day.

I love Bridget and think Karman could looked for years and never found a woman as beautiful, talented, and loving as Bridget.  The Kregloes are truly blesssed to have her in our family.

The part about not wanting children and wanting a parrott is true.  I would love a free trip to LA though.

Hugs and Kisses to all of you girls.

BIG MAMMA

Don't worry,

we don't have basements in California.  That was obviously an empty threat on the part of Bridget.  But, you may not be safe in the event of an earthquake...just sayin.
RavenDenise's picture

Ok, it's official

 

Karman's face must be as red as an apple. I don't know what was more entertaining: the vlog or the comment section.  Gail, you can throw some comedic punches, girl! 

volk's picture

awww big mamma!

"Thank you for the prop undies and for giving birth to Karman's thong-wearing behind."

that was the sweetest thing ever!!!

 

of course you guys were joking SPECIALLY when Bridget mentioned Karman wanting to have kids heh

 

"I love Bridget and think Karman could looked for years and never found a woman as beautiful, talented, and loving as Bridget.  The Kregloes are truly blesssed to have her in our family."

I hope one day my very much christian motherinlaw who hates me would refer to me with that much love as Gail did.

 

I agree I dont know what was better the vlog or the comment section, I sure HAD A LAUGH reading!

 

Me wants Karman and Big Mamma in Brunch!!

Great Job BRidget!!!!  =)

"As The Kregloe Turns" "The Bold And The Brunch"

It's like a "Days Of Our Lives" episode in the comments.... Or "Soap".. Anyone remember that show?? "Will Gail ever get her panties back? And how did she get released from the asylum? Will Bridget live to film another Brunch? And why is Karman running around in nothing but a thong? Confused? You won't be, after this episode of... Soap!" :-P
