I think SS is funny, but she’s not BRILLIANT (no “Lenny Bruce in a dress” here, although that’s what she’s aiming for). And I haven’t seen the movie, so I can’t comment on that. But I also think she was funnier a few years ago, when people first started noticing her because– as you pointed out is no longer the case–she wasn’t trying so hard. She hosted the Independent Spirit Awards earlier this year and that wasn’t pretty. Half the time the audience just stared at her like she’s nuts.

Oh thank God! I thought I was the only one who didn’t like Sarah Silverman! I saw her do this thing on Comedy Central where she sang a trio of “Amazing Grace” with her vagina and her butt hole. I was annoyed, not because I was offended or anything. But singing orifices was MY idea. Bitch is stealing my thunder.

Also, she used to date Colin Quinn. What’s up with her god-awful taste in men?

She. Totally. Sucks.

Of course, this is what you just said, with much more panache.

I’ve never heard Silverman’s stuff, but she gets a lot of press. I was wondering what the deal was. I didn’t even know she was a comedian.

I’m sorry, but nobody does offensive funnier than Eddie Murphy circa 1983 Delirious.

Nobody.

I’m glad that there’s another woman in comedy, because women…and worse still, women of color…don’t get a fair shake in the comedy business (what is it about funny women that intimidate men so? Could it be that a sense of humor is a mark of intellience, thereby guys think that only they can be “teh funny?” Ok. I’ll stop now.) however I don’t find Sarah appealing.

Believe it or not, the only female comedian that gets me to laugh consistently is Ayana, then Kathy Griffin. Your “it-was-buy-one-get-one-free-for-wild-boar’s-head-so-i-couldn’t-pass-it-up-hope-you -don’t-mind-i-brought-them-and-my-other-groceries-on-this-date” story is a VERY close third.

I don’t get why so many (mostly male) critics piss their pants over her brand of “humor” either. I’m not offended by her so much as I am annoyed by her shrillness.

And she ain’t that cute, either. I just don’t get it.

She’s a heinous troll.

I’m not a fan of her “shock-jock” tactics. It’s one of the oldest tricks in the industry … you know … use “offensive” behaviour, jokes, or language to veil the fact that you have absolutely no talent; and, when people say they don’t like you (and they will), claim that it’s just because they are “easily offended”.

She bores me.
