The standup set that put Tig Notaro on the cultural radar centered around getting pneumonia, catching c diff, and then her mother dies from a freak head injury and she gets diagnosed with breast cancer. She was never what anyone would call 'sturdy' to begin with. I can only imagine she looked like Skeletor by the end.

It did not originate there.
