List of Comedy Features of The Stephanie Miller Show - Self Deprecating Humor

Self Deprecating Humor

Miller pokes fun at herself quite a bit.

  • Miller frequently jokes about drinking copious amounts of box-wine and being frequently drunk.
  • When criticized by a listener that the show is "sophomoric", Miller actually took the comment as a compliment.
  • Although she has no children, Stephanie Miller often refers to herself as "Mama", as do her listeners. She also has a soundbite "she's a slut" which Miller allows Producer Chris Lavoie to apply to her when talking about her future husbands. One time, when Chris called her a whore, she replied with a "thank you."
  • She read on her show, as well as posted on her web site, a humorous, but true, biography written by a fan. While reading the biography on her show, she said that the only inaccuracy in the letter is that the "minor plastic surgery" should be replaced with "major plastic surgery".
  • Claims that she started her career as a dancer at the "Itchy Kitty" in Reseda, California, and if it wasn't for her radio show, that would be the only thing she would be qualified to do. The Itchy Kitty story is probably false, based on the biography mentioned above. Although there really IS a strip club in Reseda, California called The Frisky Kitty.
  • She publicized a very stinging hate e-mail she received.
  • Uses a soundclip describing the show as "Ex-Catholic Girl Gone Wild". This is a parody on the Girls Gone Wild videos.
  • Uses a soundclip "She puts the broad back in broadcasting."
  • Uses a soundclip "She's the life of the Democratic Party. Ignore the lampshade."
  • Miller sometimes makes fun of her childhood appearance, including her unibrow, afro, fangs, hammer toe, and gray teeth. Usually, Ward and Lavoie join in on bashing Miller's childhood appearance.
    • Claims that she was "abandoned by wolves, and raised by Republicans". The "abandoned by wolves" phrase is her way of explaining the fangs.
  • Jokes that because the owner of the show has taken out a life insurance policy on her life, that he wants her dead.
  • Claims to have the supernatural ability to make men gay, because men that she dated in the past have come out of the closet. It has been suggested by Ward, Lavoie, and callers that she use her "gay-ray" to sabotage campaigns and tenures of various politicians.
  • Calls herself a "modern-day Jezebel" and a "Happy Harlot", after a call from "Reverend Dan" who accused her of being one.
  • On August 6 and 7, 2007, Miller stated she has paruresis, or shy pee snydrome.
  • Admitted that eye injuries were accidentally self-inflicted.
