- I am a very competitive person at home,
and I love game night.
I have so many games,
I mean they're literally taking over the house.
They're all over bookcases,
they're underneath the coffee tables,
they're stuffed in cupboards,
and I force people whether they like gaming or not
to play anything I say when they come to my house.
(audience laughing) - Yeah.
- So the reason we have you with us today
is to celebrate Relative Insanity.
(audience clapping)
Now, how did this game come about?
- Okay, so I'm a family nut.
So at, for a week in the Summer and then for a week
at Thanksgiving, we have 30 relatives, aunts, uncles,
cousins, and all-- - Right?
- And we game every night.
So last Thanksgiving, the kids, and I say kids,
they're in their 20s now--
- Yeah, your kids are 24, 26--
- But they were playing a very popular card game
that it was really dirty.
I mean, it's fun-- - Cards Against Humanity?
- Yeah, okay, all right, so.
- There's even dirtier ones by the way.
(audience laughing) No Shame Charades, woo!
(laughing)
- So, and I said to them, "You gotta go in the basement.
"You know your grandmother's here, your aunts and uncles,
"you can't do this in front"--
- It's not very family friendly, Cards Against Humanity.
- Well, and I was thinking my comedy
has always been family friendly.
- Friendly. - You know,
in that, I mean it's like I'm not a prude,
but you can be suggestive and let the audience figure it out
without being filthy.
And so, I thought, well, there's gotta be a way to do this
with a card game.
And so, I sat down and I wrote 400 punch lines
just things that sounded funny.
They didn't have a joke, but,
and then I wrote 100 set-ups involving relatives
'cause everybody's family's crazy, that's what my family...
(audience laughing)
And so, it's the easiest game in the world--
- And ya'll disagree on which one of you's the craziest,
right? - Oh, yeah.
- It is never you.
Like I know my family thinks I'm the craziest.
- It's never you. - Yeah, oh, right?
- This is the way I feel about game,
if it makes you laugh
you'll play it over and over and over again.
This is literally a box of laughs.
It's punch lines and set-ups.
- All right, so show me how to play.
So there's two color cards. - It's so, so simple.
Reds are set-ups. - Reds are set-ups.
- And the yellows are punch lines, okay.
- Are the play cards.
- So it's just like apples to apples,
the Cards Against Humanity, one person reads it,
and then everybody-- - I need my glasses so bad.
- Okay, one person will pick a set-up card,
and they'll read it and everybody then throws down
the punch line they thinks gonna get the biggest laugh.
(Rachael laughs) And if they pick your card...
(laughing)
Don't say it yet, don't say it yet, we're gonna play.
- I wanna play this card no matter what.
It's so funny. - Fine, that's kinda what
the game turns into is you have certain favorites.
It makes you laugh.
- You know what's sad about,
you know what's really sad about this?
I can just sit here and laugh.
I don't need to have anybody else to play the game.
(audience laughing)
- This is why you need Relative Insanity, right here!
(audience clapping)
All right, so... (audience clapping)
All right, so you-- - Oh my God,
I just wanna go home and play this game all day.
- So, there would be, obviously,
a lot of people throwin' down their punch lines.
- Right, right, right. - So here's a typical set-up.
Right before we walked down the isle,
daddy leaned over to me and whispered...
(laughing)
- I have mold in my crawl space.
(laughing)
(audience clapping)
I win!
Okay, give me another one. - All right, you ready?
Another one. - Give me another one.
- On the way home from the family reunion,
granny made the comment...
- I've always thought your baby was ugly.
(laughing)
- It's that easy.
- Give me one more.
- One more, all right--
- We don't need commercials, forget them.
- While in the hot tub, Aunt Dottie told Kevin...
(laughing)
- You were conceived in a car wash.
(laughing)
Oh my God, my face is hot and I'm sweating.
That was so much fun.
I'm gonna buy 100 of these.
I'm gonna give them to everybody.
(audience clapping)
Congratulations on this, I mean this is just hilarious.
- It became so fun, and I would sent it to my friends,
and they would write back, and they'd be like, "Oh my God,
"we laughed all night long."
So I've already, the game just came out,
you can get it Amazon, it hits Walmarts this week,
but I've already written the expander pack
just because everyone-- - Wow.
- Said it was so fun to do.
- It's so good.
- Yeah.
