Or read Tina Fey's: "Let me clarify. I have observed that women, at least in comedy, are labeled 'crazy' after a certain age...known older men in comedy who can barely feed and clean themselves, and they still work. The women, though, they’re all “crazy.” I have a suspicion–and hear me out, ’cause this is a rough one–I have a suspicion that the definition of “crazy” in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to fuck her anymore.

In the episode, Liz Lemon dresses like an old lady and acts crazy on the subway in NYC. People promptly clear the area, leaving her plenty of uncrowded space. The clip, I'm not sure where it's from, but I assume a standup act commenting on a woman (the comedian's friend) who, like Lemon, reappropriates this phenomenon for a more comfortable subway ride. It's a stretch, but I think it fits...
what is the clip at the end? where is it from? 'i had a friend who did that...' etc?
