Funny / ContraPoints

• Any time when Natalie (or one of her characters) addresses the viewer in a highly articulate, sophisticated and formal manner but casually peppered with profanity.
• When Natalie tries to describe the absence of feeling of identifying with any gender in Non-Binary Genders:
  Natalie: I look inside myself and ask: "Do I feel like a man or a woman?" And the answer is that I feel like shit.
• In "Violence", after several clips of Natalie abusing and drowning a baby doll in comical contrast to her saying she's not a violent person, a mock Twitter user interjects with a shot of their tweet being written to object.
  Twitter user: So now "woke" @ContraPoints thinks child abuse is funny. I personally drowned several of my babies and it was very traumatic for me-
  Natalie: *sigh* Why did I become an SJW again?
• This line from her Jordan Peterson video.
  Natalie: Life is suffering, happiness is not enough to sustain you through suffering, so you need a higher purpose in your life. But I knew that already. I learned it at the AA meetings I refuse to go to.
  • From the same video, Lady Foppington's take on Peterson's lobster argument.
    • Followed up by Natalie's own reaction - "I need new roommates."
  • The brief interruption by Abigal Cockbane - she barges in, angrily shouting "Nails? Is that all womanhood is to you?!" Natalie just pauses a moment, and then nods.
• Explaining her own Tinder experience in the Incels video:
  I'm in the unusual situation of being a woman who dates men, who used to be a man who dates women.
  What kinda fucked up shit is that?
  Is that even allowed?"
  • Natalie apologizing all throughout the section in which racial slurs are used to describe chads and virgins of color. Even the framing where the names are given has a gold star on the corner saying "I'm so sorry".
  • When the conversation turns to how incels and pick-up artists are related philosophically, Natalie decides to bring up one of the PUAs she deconstructed in her video on pick-up artistry. She then brings in a cut from one of his vid-logs where he is publicly 'outing' himself as someone who makes his own bread, and insists how this is not 'baking' but 'bread science' because cooking is for women while men like science, and he's still extremely manly. Natalie says she hopes he enjoys his life as a hypermasculine, not baker, bread scientist.
• In "The Darkness", Natalie discusses the awkward gender-unaffirming experience of being a trans woman in a sperm bank donating a sample, and interjects a clip of her sarcastically saying "I feel so fish right now!" while making a masturbatory hand motion before vomiting demonic goo into a bucket.
• For the Pronouns video Natalie takes on the persona of Leonora LaVey, a late-night horror host with a penchant for hamming and an incredibly nice hat, revelling in the destruction brought forth by using gender-identity appropriate pronouns:
  "And THEN, my dreadful dears, the Western World shall surely succumb to renewable energy, affordable healthcare, and VIDEO GAMES FOR LESBIANS!!!" *Evil Laugh*
  • "I don't want my gender to be "tolerated" in the way that liberal Christians "tolerate" other of course false and heathen religions. I am an evangelical transsexual. I don't want toleration dammit, I want converts." *cut to Natalie at the door* "Excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about my womanhood?" *camera goes black and white and a scare sting plays* "Sure, go ahead. Touch it."
  • The conclusion of the first half of the science fiction double feature show:
  "Oh yes, the classic argument "HOW DO I EXPLAIN TO MY CHILD?" Kill your shitty child for all I care, that's simply not my problem. I regret every night I spent with you Ben Shapiro. I'm in a new relationship now, with a lesbian. You and I are through! I'm getting an abortion and you can't stop me!"
• In the intro to The Left, Tabby follows a rousing fascist speech by Freya with a jargon-laden speech on Hegel, to laughter from the audience.
  Tabby: Oh, fuck you, you fucking racists! (Gives the audience the finger.) Death to capitalism! Hail Satan! (She flashes the horned hand and hisses as the audience boos, then bends down to pick up her baseball bat and hisses some more.)
  • Justine also tries to redesign the cover of a Marx book which includes a Vaporwave styled one.
• In Are Traps Gay?, Natalie interrupts Lady Foppington lecturing on the origin of the meme.
  Natalie: I'm sorry, who are you talking to?
  Lady Foppington: Gentlemen of the academy!
  Natalie: Did you get thrown out of Dairy Queen again?
  Lady Foppington: It must needs be remarked.
  Natalie: Please stop breaking into my house.
  Lady Foppington: I shall be the queen of dairy.
  • "As always my aspiration is to derive a woke conclusion from edgy premises, to shitpost my way to the moral high ground." Doubles as a moment of Awesome.
• Gender Critical:
  • Natalie discusses whether there is such a thing as 'a male soul trapped in a female body and vice versa', adding that she personally doesn't believe it but is admittedly biased because she once sold her soul to a Sudanese businessman and all she got was a Ketamine habit. This bizarre tale is then accompanied by some... Intriguing imagery.
  • Natalie drinking directly from her teapot and immediately Corpsing.
  • When talking about the age when transitioning, Natalie brings up two examples in Kim Petras and Caitlyn Jenner. Her different levels of enthusiasm for these two women couldn't be more palpable.
  Natalie: ...just whomst.
  • When she talks about the TERF crowd portraying the feminine experience as one primarily defined by male-inflicted trauma, she brings up the counterexample of Shania Twain's hit "Man, I Feel Like a Woman," arguing that Shania wasn't talking about being mocked for menstruating or being sexually assaulted. She then says "Man...I feel like shit!" and the camera freezes on her disgusted expression while the song's upbeat, rocking intro plays in the background.
  • ♫ No one knows what it's like, to be a sad tran" ♫
  • "It's important to remember that I am both 'not real' and 'not valid.'"
  • Natalie states "I don't like things that are gauche." Then there's a brief cut to her "inner radfem," who pushes her breasts towards the camera.
  • Describing her "inner radfem" leads to this bit: "It's like being stuck in an elevator shaft with the ghost of Anita Bryant." [...] "Wait, is Anita Bryant even dead?" *checks phone* "Scholars remain divided."
• In the Pronouns video, when it comes to argue against the "How do I explain to my child" argument, Natalie just bursts:
  Natalie: Kill your shitty child for all I care, that's simply not my problem!
• Beauty:
  Natalie: When you're raised like I was, as a middle-class white boy with no athletic talent, parents and teachers treat you like a fucking genius. Like Einstein nutted a load in Mozart's bussy, and Mozart shat you out while he was getting a rusty trombone from Vincent van Gogh! It inspired his famous painting, Starfish Night.
  • Natalie struggles to find a name for her current occupation as a former PhD student that dropped out of academia to make videos. She finally settles on "cam-girl".
  • The Running Gag of Natalie's mind being dominated by thoughts of dancing Detective Pikachu.
  • At one point, Natalie gets distracted by feeling up the sequins on her shirt. (Don’t worry - they’re biological sequins.)
• In The Aesthetic, as a Funny Background Event, Tabby spends the first nearly a dozen cuts to her blowing on her tea to cool it. When she finally (more than five minutes after receiving it) drinks from the tea, she burns herself.
• A few moments from her very early pre-transition videos ^note She's since removed these, but transcripts of them are available on her website here.....
  • In her early video, Everyone's A Bit Racist Sometimes, the way she reads the rather butt-rapey responses from fans of the Far-Right people she covers, musing on how this is supposedly "The triumph of masculine reason" for them. She then wonders why male/male anal rape is the go-to metaphor for guys who profess to be homophobic heterosexuals.
    • In fact; Whenever she reads any trolls comments in her early videos, like the guy in "Why The Alt-Right Is Wrong" who sounded like a thesaurus vomited and is incomprehensible (complete with Upper-Class Twit voice ending with a 'Woohoo!').
    • In the end is a somewhat darkish moment involving Natalie during a bad Acid trip. She's run out of the meds that help her weather the effects so she decides to read some of Plato on the toilet in order to keep sane....only to read of Socrates quoting one of those Jerkass trolls with the butt-rape metaphors from early in the videos.
    Natalie: "....What?...Naw!...Nawwwwwwooooooooooo!...."
  • In her video Alpha Males; Natalie's reaction to The Golden One's "Glorious Surprise Flex". Later, she declares herself "The Golden Twink".
  • In her video, Pick Up Artists, the way Natalie pronounces "Bang". Also; The pic of Roosh V's head on a cockroaches' body. She also refers (in passing) to 19th Century Danish philosopher, Soren Kierkegaarde as "....some boring white weirdo....".
  • The Golden Twink returns in Why The Alt-Right is Wrong/Why White Nationalism Is Wrong. It starts with Natalie running around back & forth in a snowy wooded area a skimpy gettup based on something the Golden One would wear ^note Nothing but gold trunks and a fur-lined cape, like some Sword and Sandal cos-play. Later, still in the woods....
    Natalie: My cousin is out fighting dragons....and what do I get? Natzees!
    • She also makes a brief joke about how she hates Belgians....Jump Cut to a waffle she's hitting with a hammer....
      Natalie: "Fuck this waffle!"^note At the very end of the video, she apologizes to Belgium and states she doesn't really hate them.
    • This video was flagged and edited after Natalie began her transition, leading to a hilarious moment where at one point her past self in cosplay proudly proclaims "My Nordic masculinity has grown as firm and robust as the hammer of Thor!" then cuts to present day Natalie, asking the question all of us are thinking: "Really. Has it?"
• Transtrenders:
  • At the end of the interview, the pathologically neutral/centrist hostess Jackie Jackson concludes:
    "As for how many genders there are, I'll take the centrist route and say two and a half."
  • Baltimore Maryland maintains a calm and neutral air throughout all of Tiffany Tumbles abuse and disrespect of their identity, until finally they snap.
    Baltimore: Namaste, bitch!
  • The "Justine is gay" sequence. Justine denies being gay to Tiffany, only for Natalie herself as the narrator to confirm that Justine, indeed, is extremely gay.
    Justine: I'm not gay.
    Narrator: Justine was extremely gay. Protest though the lady may, there simply is no stopping gayness.
  • The above is immediately followed by Justine wailing about her love-hate relationship with catgirls.
    Justine: I love catgirls! I hate catgirls, but I also love them!
    Narrator: O, abominable fate.
• Opulence:
  Natalie: I mean, whomst among us honestly hasn't slipped into a dissociative fugue state, dressed up as a clown, kidnapped a few neighbourhood children and told the cops "I'm giving you John Wayne Gacy realness, hunty"?
• Canceling:
  • In the middle of the video, Natalie comments that offline, she is just trying to blend in, rather than her shameless persona in her videos. She then speaks into a megaphone: "Sexual confession, everybody! Sexual confession! I have abnormal urges!" Then she stages whispers to the camera "It's one am, my neighbors can definitely hear me!" She then adds that it doesn't matter, since her neighbors already know she has abnormal urges.
  • Her difficultly opening a bottle of malt liquor, declaring that she “needs a man” to open it for her and ultimately deciding to get some pliers: “The lesbian solution.”
    • Called back to later when she’s on a new bottle and struggles with it, saying she needs to get the lesbian pliers back out.
• During "Shame," she is explaining how the feminizing hormones functioned for her, including making her grow breasts. During this segment, she is "dressed" as Eve, so after bringing up this point, she pauses, looks down, and remarks, "At least, in theory."
  • When joking about electric shock therapy, Natalie gets out a violet wand^note It's a kink toy that zaps you if you touch it and uses it on her arms.
  I just feel like I'm on a road trip with Cate Blanchett.
• From Cringe:
  • The Reddit "cringe" stories in the introduction are pretty hilarious, especially the one where a simple pizza delivery goes catastrophically wrong for the poor deliver-ee.
  "The delivery girl said the pizza smelled good, I said, "you too," and then I closed the door and killed myself."

  • The icing on the cake is a note at the bottom of the story that the poster initially got the pizza brand wrong when recounting the story and then corrects it at the end in the screenshot.
  • When talking about HBomberguy's videos on Davis Aurini that turned the cringe compilation tactics of the right wing back onto them, there's a clip of Aurini saying, "I'd start with the premise that all women are whores," before the camera freezes on his face — and incredibly goofy expression — for an uncomfortably long time.
  • Most of the stuff regarding Natalie’s one-sided "feud" with "Vanessa" (Blaire White) is gold. In particular, the part where she describes Blaire's typical video thumbnail, with Blaire on one side ("Looking fish, looking cunt.”) and a "dump truck in a maladjusted wig" (represented by Edna Turnblad) on the other. She then adds that she's allowed to say dump truck because she used to be one of #HerDumpTrucks.
    Natalie: We meet again, gorge.
  • When introducing "Vanessa," Natalie gleefully describes her as the second-most popular trans woman YouTuber — before revealing that Blaire had actually surpassed Natalie in subscriber count once again.
• Justice (Part I)
  • The Running Gag of her contacts constantly rotating or otherwise refusing to stay in place.
  • Her (possibly ironic?) embrace of the Cat Girl aesthetic after repudiating it as "visual baby talk" and discussing her discomfort with it in Cringe.
  "Hi, I'm Nyatalie, creator of Catrapoints!"
• JK Rowling
  • Natalie tries to flip open and twirl a fan in midair before catching it, but ends up dropping it on the floor and corpsing before a successful take.
  • Let's spill some shade! Throw some tea! (Natalie literally throws a teapot across the room)
  • In a Call-Back, she bathes with a mannequin that wears the face of Daniel Radcliffe, discussing whether objectifying him is a result of comphet pressure. The sequence is hilarious as she pours milk on it ("expressing my love the only way I know how"), the mannequin falls apart in her arms, and then she throws it out of the bathtub in pieces, saying goodbye to the last remains of her heterosexuality.
  • Natalie gets frustrated by the rose petals in her bath migrating to one corner and fixes them. The cut after she does has her saying she "redistributed the rose petals" as the Soviet anthem plays and she facetiously calls herself a socialist icon.
  • Natalie wryly noting how trans women who haven't had bottom surgery throw a wrench in Freud's theory that fetishes stem from men learning female bodies don't have penises.
  • When discussing the "crossdressing killer" trope Rowling used, she mentions Buffalo Bill, describing him as an "animal lover and talented seamstress", but can't quite take the description seriously.
  • Natalie can barely keep it together when she starts applying modern trans-Twitter lingo to the movies she's analyzing, giving us gems like "Hannibal Lecter is a truscum!" and "You're a fake transvestite, Norman. Trender alert!"
  • Natalie skillfully holds her phone centimeters above the bath water for half of the video... and then later claimed on Twitter she managed to drop it in the water for real during the next bath she took after filming. Naturally she said it was the audience's fault for jinxing her.
• Envy
  • As the prelude to the Snow White bit, Natalie stands in front of her magic mirror and asks who is the "c—-iest" of them all. The mirror tells her that there is one more c—- than her... Caitlyn Jenner.
    Evil Queen!Natalie: My pussy-stunting on the 'gram has come to nothing!
  • "It's gonna be ninety minutes of milf jokes, kids, so strap in."
• Hunger
  • Before Jackie totally falls into the usual rhetorical traps of centrism (like always), she manages to accurate describe Virginia Lamm's stance.
    Jackie: Virginia, I appreciate your pious gibberish, but could you be a little more specific?
  • Among Justine's many, MANY snarks about Virginia Lamm, she gets in a broader Take That!.
    Virginia: I have glimpsed the gates of Hell where unrepentant souls endure the horrors of sin. Away from God, shut out from grace, tormented by unyielding guilt and shame.
    Justine: Yes, we've all been to Cincinnati.
  • She also has this to say about the woman Virginia had her heart broken by.
    Justine: What was she? A Capricorn?
    Virginia: No, a Sagittarius.
    Justine: Well, there's your problem. Next time maybe try a water sign.
    • Then there's Jackie's contribution to things.
    Jackie: Shhh, stop interrupting. I'm living for the drama.
• The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling
  • Prior to the video, Natalie had appeared on a podcast on J.K. Rowling, hosted by former Westboro Baptist Church member Megan Phelps-Roper - a decision she came to regret.
    Natalie: Now you might be wondering, "Why would I think that a person who has been carrying a God Hates F*gs sign for most of her life would be the correct person to lead an international conversation about the intricacies of LGBT issues?"
    Krusty the Clown: Because I'm an idiot! Happy?!
  • "I need to know how the alien fucks, right now. I need to know how the alien fucks before I can show it to my child."
  • Natalie opens the video with a brief biography of Anita Bryant, known for her crusade against gay people in the seventies. At the end of the first segment, she leads into asking "was Anita actually the REAL victim?" as part of her comparison of Anita Bryant and her efforts against homosexuality to Rowling and her anti-trans rhetoric. She is audibly unable to keep a straight face while asking the question, given how obvious the actual answer (no, of course not) is, and how ridiculous it is to even enter the debate on the side of Anita.
• From Twilight:
  • Consistently pronouncing "RETVRN"^note A Roman-esque spelling of "return," mostly used by reactionaries to advocate "returning" to a particular set of norms from a past era, although just as often used ironically nowadays phonetically as "ret-vern."
  • "I regret to inform you the cuck tent is racist!"
  • Natalie taking a moment to complain about how boring romance book covers are nowadays.
  • While describing stories about Uptown Girl situations where a man on the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder falls in love with a richer girl, Natalie notes that those are tragedies, citing Titanic (1997).
  "If the boy is poor, there is no room on the door."
