I've been on so many blind dates I should get a free dog.

This line is a stand-up one-liner associated with comedian Wendy Liebman’s observational style and her frequent material about dating and relationships. It plays on the phrase “blind date” by treating “blind” literally, as if repeated exposure should qualify someone for a “seeing-eye” dog. The joke reflects late-20th-century/early-21st-century stand-up’s emphasis on quick, self-deprecating dating humor, where the comedian’s romantic misadventures become a recurring premise. I can’t reliably place the line to a specific recorded set, TV appearance, or published collection without risking misattribution.

In this one-liner, Liebman riffs on the literal meaning of “blind” in “blind date,” pretending it refers to visual impairment rather than anonymity. The punchline—deserving a “free dog”—invokes the cultural association of guide dogs for blind people, turning romantic frustration into a mock entitlement. The joke works by compressing a familiar dating complaint (“so many blind dates”) into an absurd, bureaucratic-sounding reward system, highlighting how repetitive and discouraging the experience feels. It also showcases Liebman’s persona-driven, self-deprecating style: the humor comes less from attacking dates than from presenting herself as comically trapped in an endless cycle of setups.
