Ooh, great comparison. Her being annoying is a completely valid reason to dislike her act whereas disliking someone because they're fat is a little 'fattist.'
Do you seriously believe you have a watertight argument here? Give me a break. Just because you bought into her act doesn't mean your interpretation or opinion is right. It's more likely that she's just a bitchy elitist stoner who gets away with things by saying them "funny."

Yes, I have listened to Lenny Bruce. I think some of his bits were funny, and many more just sound dumb. I personally think he is over-deified by today's hipsters; many of his bits were just, y'know, jokes. (I also think Bill Hicks is overrated, and mostly for the same reasons.) But I agree that he was often 'transgressive' for his time.
However, as you well know, Bruce operated in a different milieu than we do now. It would take a lot more -- a direct threat against the president, eating a fetus onstage, etc. -- for Sarah Silverman or any comedian to get arrested for his or her "craft." And yes, that would be transgressive all right, but also stupid, boring, and unfunny.
This is what I was attempting to get at in my previous post, and I think you know that. Sorry I didn't spell it all out. Thanks for calling me a fucktard.
Love,
Matt

Judy Tenuda was annoying, too. I guess that means she "won".

>Fatty Arbuckle's girth was his #1 comedic device<
Hmmmm... if so, he knew how to use it. Otherwise Chris Farley would've been as funny as Arbuckle.
Ah, Sourpuss does short and long sarcasm.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I think it's kind of um...maybe not "hot" strictly speaking...it connotes fragility (which is kind of fucked up, really) and I think it's an enjoyable contrast to her otherwise indelicate schtick. Am looking forward to her bit on The Aristos.

chris farley was funnier than fatty arbuckle<
Damn, there IS no arguing people out of a laugh...
We won't positively know until one of Farley's proteges surpasses Buster Keaton, and based on The Showbiz Show with David Spade it's a longshot.
it gets tiresome to hear 10 one liners in a row<
Despite the evident talent, this is why I've never liked Steven Wright for more than 3 minutes.

Ok, now let's rationalize her hairy body, close-together eyes, weird nose and mousy face, please.

I like arm hair on women, to an extent.
As for her nose: she's a Jew, duh.

Ken, howja know I was in the tub? I strive for Addison DeWitt, anyway.
So the hairy-bodied are not funny? That must mean Robin Williams grew his in 1987!

Is this somehow supposed to mean it "hot" then?

not to jump back on the girl wagon, but we'd never have a board that talked about every little detail on a guy comedian. i mean, who gives a fuck if jerry seinfeld has hairy arms? who honestly cares that sarah silberman does?! is she only worthy if she's fuck-able? is she funnier if she is? it's annoying.

Good man!
Cub seems to like her jokes and think she's fine, so he's asking if he's alone in this, or if there are others. I happen to know some girls who find, Dennis Leary, for example, or Jon Stewart, handsome so I don't think it's illegitimate to ask if others do as well. I think she's a very pretty example of a type of Jewess that I find attractive but if that's not your thing, no amount of PC exhortation will make you fancy her.
