The show features various comedians talking about topics such as boyfriends, farting, makeup, pregnancy scares, jealousy and more.

UAB brought two comedians from the show, Tanisha Long and Jeff Dye, to talk to the audience.

Dye opened the show by cracking crude jokes and covering topics such as drinking, sex, conspiracies, racism and dating.

“I’m not gay, you know,” Dye said during the show. “I know I have a gay face and I feel like I have to tell people that.”

Spanish freshman Abigail Gruber and her friends said they thought Dye was hilarious.

Dye performed for the first hour on stage and then introduced Long, who ran up on stage to cheers from the audience.

“It’s nice to be out of New York and to be somewhere safe and clean,” Long joked to the audience.

Long mostly talked about relationships. Similar to how the actual “Girl Code” show is structured, Long had many profane jokes.

“I haven’t seen a penis in like a year,” Long said during the show, to hearty laughter.

Gruber discovered “Girl Code” in high school because it ran after a new episode of “Awkward,” another MTV show.

“We would start watching it and it would get really funny,” Gruber said.

Before the question and answer part of the performance, Dye ran back up on stage to make a Vine video with the audience.

He switched his camera to “selfie style” and the two comedians got the audience to do a “Yes” chant.

“Everyone’s so polite,” Dye said during the show, in reference to the audience’s behavior. “You guys are nice, and sitting there listening.”

Gruber enjoyed the comedians’ style of humor.

“Being in the same room was just like being in a room with regular funny people,” she said. “They interacted with us like normal people.”

“Girl Code” airs weekly on Sundays on MTV.
