Sarah Silverman: Funny or not? Hot or not?

Wait, isn't Jimmy Kimmel married with children?

I like to call this picture "Ally & Jimmy Fallon On A Date (With Visual Presentations)". YOU ARE ALL JEALOUS HATAS.

I watched some of the JK show last nite and J's interaction with his band leader was some of the most painfully awful and awkward and amateur television in all of history.

He can go to his house, walk in his bathroom, then go to the bathroom.

When he's done he can look in the toilet.

Then, he can eat the shit.

how much was her becoming head writer (and the concurrent three very prominent female cast members) fallout from the garofalo imbroglio o' 94-95?

All three (Fey, Shannon, Rudolph) are insanely overrated and woefully undertalented.

Silverman, meanwhile, is a totally different breed of cat.

oh no! FITE! oh NO!

on the times when she did the funny comedy sketch pre-filmed things like singing for old people and teaching comedy to kids ------ that wasn't very funny and no one laughed at it.

tina fey is okay. she has crazy scars on her face and she's kind of funny but the being too cute thing that someone said before it true.

maya rudolph is wonderful. she is the only hot one out of the three, i think. she's very brown and freckled.

Sarah Silverman is extremely cute when not all done up... BELIEVE.

Eve looks like she has an extra chromosone.

Jimmy Fallon, meanwhile, simply IS an incontinent orangutan with Down's syndrome.

Jimmy Fallon, meanwhile, simply IS an incontinent orangutan with Down's syndrome!

Tina Fey is not remarkable.

That said, TF is more attractive than SS to me - but on the other hand, SNL licks chicken asses.

In July 2001, she told a joke on the talk show "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" that went like this: When Silverman received a jury-duty notice, she complained to a friend that she didn't want to serve; the friend suggested she send back the form with something racist written on it, like "I hate chinks," because surely she would be ruled out as a juror. Silverman's reply? "I didn't want them to think I was racist, but I did want to get out of jury duty, so I wrote, 'I love chinks.'"

That's funny.

"Alcoholism is the only disease you can get yelled at for having. You can say, 'Bob, you're an alcololic!' You never hear anybody say, 'Bob, you've got lupus!'"

Is that the guy? Cause he's freakin' brilliant.

I don't think I'd like that though, really.

this is the second greatest thing ever said on ILX

What's the greatest?

"I had a tough year, I actually sued my manager for sexual harrassment this year. And I don't know if any of you know anything about show business, but it's something that... it takes a lot of guts to do, you know. Especially because he didn't do anything. He's 'innocent', whatever that means."

"I was raped by a doctor, which is... so bittersweet for a Jewish girl."

"I didn't lose my virginity til I was 26. It's true. Well 19 vaginally. But 26 what I like to call the 'real way'."

"I'm going out with a guy who's half black, who is totally gonna break my heart. Who... that's such a bad attitude! I'm such a pessimist. He's half white."

It's not like you posted a thread question to him!

haha Anthony, I've seen plenty of people who smirk/scowl all goddamn day who cannot even manage a basic conversation their lack of social skills is so bad. You potentially lose either way. Britney Spears has a big vacant smile but I'd rather have a conversation with her than with Silverman based on tv interviews/specials I've seen with both.

"I like the young guy who plays the new-agey piano. he's short, wears New Balance, does the late-night talk show circuit.

-- Aaron A. (__...), May 8th, 2003."

you mean Zach Galifinakis, host of the short-lived "Late World with Zach" on VH1? that guy is great. so was the show, despite its abysmal ratings.

Mitch Hedberg has some good jokes (especially the one about soup of the day: "we need to make a decision, I want to know what the soup-from-now-on is"), but his schtick is just too much of a Steven Wright ripoff, except he comes off less deadpan and more brain-damaged.

Tina Fey and Sarah Silverman are both funnier than they are hott, but in both cases it's a winning combo.

Ally you are clearly insane

she is kindof a cutie-pie tho.

She's still pretty hot. the dirty mouth thing only holds up if she's a whore in the sack though. And I mean that in a good way. There's nothing worse than someone with a really dirty mouth who is horrible in bed. Especially if this person is attractive.

Yeah, I think Lenny Bruce dates extraordinarilty badly. A routine about Hitler being inducted by a talent agency was riotous and egdy as hell in 1957, I'm sure, but who needs that when you've got Mel Brooks? I admire Lenny Bruce, but he doesn't make me laugh.

i think Lenny Bruce is still funny, but he admittedly requires some getting adjusted to. the first time i heard his stuff i was really disappointed, but i love it now. it helps to read a bit about his life beforehand so you're not totally lost when he starts going on about his court cases (his descriptions of which are totally hysterical).

The writing's a bit much.

Ali G?!

Anyhoo, I hate this line of reasoning, which we've talked about on here before. It's as if there is nothing you can't say, from more well-meaning satire to straight-out racist shit, that you can't retreat from just by saying "Oh, it was just a joke! Get a sense of humor whydoncha!"

I crushed out on SS majorly when she was on Saturday Night Live -- 1993? 1994? Funny.

Okay but on another tip here: what the hell, is Mike Kinsley having an affair with Silverman, or something? Last week there were like three separate Silverman articles on Slate, and one of them kept getting bounced up the sidebar, and then today I log on and her face is like blasting out from the center pane: is she paying them?

I sincerely doubt she deserves the Lenny Bruce comparisons, as she's not been arrested for her craft.

OTM, she has also totally failed in being a heroin addict and a dude.

Not the point, but you knew that or you're fucktards.

Well, yeah, but that's her THING. She's jaded to the point of naivety, she sits on a cushioned of caricatured privilege and when it rains she tells us she's pissing on our heads.

So?

Bullshit.

But...

Fine, then you can't knock Adam Carolla for being annoying either (or anyone else), in case you wanted to.

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

DAN WHERE ARE YOU

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

Uh oh, is this turning into another ILX meta discussion?

>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.

i do. I 'm just asking her that.

b) the word "hot" used to describe someone's attractiveness is decidedly non-hot, keep up people

I agree with this.

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.

It looks like fish belly or something. Grosser and grosser with age.

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.

(xpost)

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

When it dawned on me that he was just Henny Youngman who just got out of bed, I thought that too.

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!

Cut the anti-semitism out!

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

And the eyes?

Thread title asks for opinions. People want to debate opinions = long discussions. End of bewilderment.

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.

If you want to know these questions, you should start a thread with these questions in the title.

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.

i guess my hot is not your hot.

I think she's funny.

XPOST

I think that she does have pretty good deliverary, but her stand up has a really choppy flow and no sense of direction. Some people can make up for this by throwing in lots of funny extemperaneous dialogue between the established jokes in their set (Patton Oswalt is a good example of this), but she just seems formless. I definitely prefer stand ups who do sets that have a clear beginning and end, and work through recurring themes. (Eddie Izzard, for example.)

As for her looks - yeah, she's attractive. I guess some people aren't into cute Jewish girls, but whatever.

I can think of a lot of really attractive female comedians, actually.

xpost: isn't anybody weirded out by the sexism of jewess or negress?

surely you are from the British Isles, then?

Sexism? It's merely concision.

With "dominatrix" I think it's just that the sex matters more explicitly!

I read that it was sexy hitler - funny and hot!

The modern word "sexism" doesn't really get at what's unsettling about Jewess/Negress, which has more to do with racism, alterity, and the droit de seigneur. The linguistic sexism is trivial; the loaded element is its implied subhuman sexualization of the object - as jaymc notes, it places her in a different species altogether (the oh-so-asking-for-it female counterpart of the leering, hooknosed Ashkenazi or the robust and rapacious Negro punished with death for daring to look a white woman in the eye.)

Let's ask JP Sartre! "There is in the words 'a beautiful Jewess' a very special sexual signification, one quite different from that contained in the words 'beautiful Rumanian,' 'beautiful Greek,' or 'beautiful American,' for example. This phrase carries an aura of rape and massacre..."

(Sarah Silverman is of course funny and fine. A little wax works wonders.)

I do think Lenny Bruce became MUCH less funny once weighed down with legal matters and smack, but arrests aside there was more derring-do in his approach than SS's, which seem on the 'meta' side (again, I haven't seen more than a few minutes of her).

On the non-hot side, one more "interesting but not-so-funny" view (he DOES think she challenges liberals, like Bruce):

.......uhh

http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/interviews/images/sarah/sarahbutt.jpg

*a lot of time, and not a lot of other-person's-ass

http://photos1.blogger.com/img/85/2126/640/jews.jpg

*a lot of time, and not a lot of other-person's-ass

Oh yes, incessant worrying. It took me weeks just to formulate my own opinion of her, let alone make assumptions about her own opinion of herself. Believe me, it is very time-consuming. Fortunately for me, my schedule is not bogged down with other-person's-ass.

One thing: her bit in The Aristocrats was not only funny, it was truly disturbing (in a good way, I think, but I'm not entirely sure of that). I believe that what she's brought up front and centre -- alongside the aforementioned white-chick-making-racist-jokes shtick -- is the relatively unexplored humour of post-traumatic stress, the thousand yard standup. She's not alone in this, but ever since the likes of Stephen King articulated it, and Sam Raimi visualised it, the idea of screaming while laughing (while puking, while dissociating?) has gathered a certain amount of force. Personally -- and this is entirely opinion, of course -- I love that SS does this with a (distractingly superficial) sass and perkiness. More fucking power to whatever she's trying to do, ha ha.

(She needs to write more jokes, though.)

she was the voice of:

http://www.sassman.com/katz/scans/laura-hands.jpg

She's hot, but I'll have to see Jesus Is Magic before I decide about the funny.

Still haven't seen Jesus Is Magic, but I thought the Sarah Silverman Program premier was pretty damn funny.

Which is saying a lot.

xpost Yeah the songs need to go.

I do agree about the songs though.

Which is saying a lot.

I guess so, she has some funny lines. Not even getting into popularity and stuff, they both are relatively good-looking (amazingly beautiful for stand-up comedians) and play up their sex appeal by giving the opposite sex jokes they will appreciate. For Cook that means broad observational humor and for Silverman it's gross humor and a more generally surreal and iconoclastic sense of humor that only men tend to appreciate.

For instance, the desecration of a famous childhood icon, that's something that most men and few women find generally funny as an idea. Silverman is one of the only female comics you'll see who seems to be in tune with liking that sort of thing and indulges in that sort of humor (for better or worse) like a man.

On network television funny women make jokes at their own expense. On cable they have license to poke fun at everyone else.

The comic heroine Sarah Silverman plays on her new Comedy Central series, “The Sarah Silverman Program,” is not adorably neurotic. Actually she thinks she is just fine: not too fat, not too single, not too lazy or unemployed. It’s the people around her who are pathetic. A friend calls, saying, “Hi, it’s Natalie.” Sarah, who is sprawled on her couch watching television, replies, “Tall, thin Natalie, or Natalie Bishop?”

Sarah is childish, narcissistic and manipulative — “Mean Girls” meets Larry David. “I’m just like you,” she says in a sugar-toned introductory voice-over. “I live in Valley Village, I don’t have a job, and my sister pays the rent.”

And Ms. Silverman’s show about nothing is quite funny. The episodes are not as layered or intricately constructed as Mr. David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” but the humor is fueled by a similar jolt of the politically incorrect. There are few other forms of humor on Comedy Central, of course, so Ms. Silverman’s stands out mostly because the slurs are spoken by a pretty young woman, and a knowing one.

On “Curb,” the fictional Larry David is unaware he is giving offense and indignant when accused of it. Sarah says horrible things about homosexuals, blacks, women, police officers, the disabled, the homeless and leukemia patients with a guileless cruelty.

Maybe it’s a feminist milestone: finally, a woman as cheerfully, innocently malevolent as the Malcolm McDowell character in “A Clockwork Orange” (though slightly less prone to violence). And Ms. Silverman, 36, whose stand-up routine, “Jesus Is Magic,” was made into a movie in 2005, the same year she appeared in the documentary “The Aristocrats” with a startling joke (“Joe Franklin raped me”), is a new kind of female sitcom heroine, very different from the generation of Phyllis Diller or Joan Rivers or Roseanne Barr and Paula Poundstone.

And Sarah is certainly different from network sitcom heroines: not at all like the winsome shrinking violet Tina Fey plays on “30 Rock” or even the struggling divorcée Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays on “The New Adventures of Old Christine.” Sarah is even more insensitive and self-absorbed than Elaine was on “Seinfeld.”

And that alone is noteworthy. Comedy Central, home to Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, “South Park,” “Blue Collar TV” and late-night infomercials for “Girls Gone Wild,” is one of the more male-oriented cable networks: Lifetime for Jackasses.

In a promotional spot for her show Ms. Silverman stands on an outdoor court in tennis whites and urges viewers to tune in. “And hey,” she says with a “Goodbye, Columbus” smile, “for most of you who watch Comedy Central this is the closest you’re going to get to a vagina.”

Currently Ms. Silverman is the only woman to have her own weekly series on Comedy Central; her show has been picked up for a six-week engagement. And only a few have been given comedy specials: comics like Wanda Sykes and most recently Lisa Lampanelli, whose stand-up routine, “Dirty Girl,” consists of her heckling her mostly gay audience in Don-Rickles-in-a-dress mode (though blacks are also a favorite target).

Ms. Silverman is as scatological as any young male comedian, relying on flatulence jokes and crude sexual remarks, along with a steady stream of aspersions about gay people and blacks. At a coffee shop she calls her sister gay, then turns to her two gay neighbors apologetically. “I don’t mean gay like homosexual,” she says sweetly. “I mean gay like retarded.”

She is funniest doing absurdist material. In one episode she steps from the narrative into a music video in which she sings a sad, folksy ballad about world peace in a white gauzy dress as ocean waves foam in the background.

When her loving, uncritical sister, Laura (played by Ms. Silverman’s real-life sister, Laura Silverman), comes to pick her up from jail, Laura and the arresting officer (Jay Johnston) instantly fall in love. When she tells the officer that her last name is Silverman as they walk back to her car, the officer says tenderly, “I believe the Holocaust was completely uncalled for.” Laura, just as smitten, coos, “Oh, don’t worry about it.”

Comics are supposed to serve as navigators, using ridicule and parody to chart human nature and social conventions. Their riffs are only as funny as they are unexpected and unsettling, and surprise is hard to pull off on a 24-hour cable network entirely devoted to humor. After a while viewers turn numb to even the best material, nodding like professional comedians who acknowledge a colleague’s joke not by laughing but by saying, “Funny.”

Ms. Silverman’s sardonic humor is not really new to Comedy Central, but her persona is.

She is not the old model of the self-deprecating female moaning about the size of her thighs and bad boyfriends or the crude male comic complaining about his girlfriend’s thighs and bad boyfriends.

Sarah is the comic embodiment of a feline, self-centered femininity. Ms. Silverman’s material is as raw and profane as any man’s, but served up slyly.

i still stand by this!

Weren't there like all of six episodes of her show or did I miss something?

Sarah's normally got the hottitude but she's making quite the distressed little monkey face there.

sarah looking akward on the cover of maxim

a little, yeah, esp. since she's said many times that she has a hate/hate relationship with her body hair, which leans toward the thick and dark. And they hand her an ape costume? Rude.

Sarah Silverman = COMPLETELY HILARIOUS ON THE VMAS TONIGHT, WOW

this thread

http://www.nothingtoxic.com/media/1180953722/Sarah_Silverman_Rips_Paris_Hilton_With_Paris_in_the_Audience

yeah that was one of my favorite bits, actually. The balls on that woman.

bah blocked at work. someone post it here.

ah doesn't matter, i can wait until i get home

Meanwhile, Jack Nicholson is eating it up.

The balls on that woman.

yeah, it takes real bravery to attack paris hilton

especially since it seems likely she had no idea paris was there--i'd have assumed paris wouldn't have shown up, what with jail and all.

well, the look on paris' face was actually funnier than the jokes

i thought she did that joke precisely because she knew hilton would be there. it wouldn't be that funny otherwise, and while i'm not a fan of silverman i do think she's savvy.

anyway, i'm pretty sure that as the host of a huge event that's scripted to the point of fakery, you know which megacelebrities are in the audience.

Hey L! I would imagine she would be all too happy to ridicule someone like Paris Hilton anyway.

i basically think she sucks and isn't very funny, unlike "the simple life" which is awesome and totally funny, so i'm the wrong person to ask in this argument i reckon.

"lol lol look at me i'm cursing and i'm a girl and that's hot" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< "lol lol look at me i'm a socialite on a farm and that's hot"

"lol lol i'm adam schefter and that's hot"

^^^^best

i think they're both annoying, but silverman wins this one.

(hey, s!)

I SUGGEST EVERYONE WATCH THE CHEESE FUCKING VIDEO

wait her joek is not actually funny

i mean it has the word "penis" in it, which is often a sign that you are hearing a joke, but it still doesn't seem to actually qualify as a "joke" and not "excuse for a lady to say penis"

especially funny cause it was in the middle of an awards wtf

IT WAS FUNNY GHOST RIDER

wait r we talking same awards show penis joke?

it would've been funnier if she'd made fun of paris hilton for hating black people instead of liking penises, is all i'm saying

cheese fucking?

hmm, she's hot, but that video isn't at all funny.

fucking tiny cheese u guys

I saw a Seinfeld the other day where she was Kramer's girlfriend....they decided they liked sleeping separately after sex. She was all gussied up like they do to women on Seinfeld: homely clothes, fluffed&side-parted hair...kinda wacky not seeing her in a baseball-style T shirt.

Also weird seing her not being Cussy McGussy

Actually funnier was her joke about Spiderman 3 being racist ("The minute he becomes black, he's suddenly an awesome dancer?") and her subsequent ridicule of the director cutting to Samuel L. Jackson ("See, that's good producing right there. 'Look, it's okay; the black thought it was funny!'").

I've only seen her in Jesus is Magic. eh.

She's totally cute and I bet she'd crack me up at a party, but as stand up that performance was tepid. Maybe it's because that I'm not shocked or surprised that an attractive woman can be nasty?

Or maybe it's because I dislike most stand-up comedy, half of which seems to be, "Look at me. I'm offensive and OUTRAGEOUS!!!" Yawn.

OTM

I find her incredibly annoying and that show she had earlier this year was one of the least funny things I've ever seen.

I thought her show as surprisingly funny, since I had never found her particularly funny before then. The scene where they're all sitting around the brunch table farting made me scream with laughter.

I'm still not sure how I feel about her exactly but she was in this one episode of Star Trek Voyager once where they travel back into the past (our present) and Ed Begley Jr steals the Doctor (who is a sentient holographic projection) that I will forever remember as kind of interesting for something on Fox56 at 3 in the afternoon on a Saturday.

Woah, really? I just didn't get it and believe me, I tried.

whoops x-post

that paris joke really wasn't funny, but hilton's reaction was good, and nicholson's reaction was hilarious.

Admittedly, her show was a million times funnier when they focused on her gay neighbors than it was when it focused on her, but the abject horror in her eyes when she tries to fart, doesn't, and then the camera zooms in and she says sotto voce, "I pooped!" followed by a ridiculous poop song/fantasy sequence where she meets God... that was kind of brilliant to me.

she at least has lots of body hair apparently,that is more than paris can say..because she has it shaved professionaly.And the look on your Moms face when Marilyn Manson fkked u in blood for his video shoot,And the look on the Eskimo man,Aleutian.Alsace looks.And is that rubbing alcohol or did the attendent punch a hole in your side?It smells like a earth installation.

God, that pic with her tongue sticking out in profile...she looks like she's being invaded by one of those parasites from Cronenberg's "Shivers."

whos face is that on richards taint?

saw her show for the first time, not funny

not funny, but she is cute

Her starving children routine is classic.

"Babies should say goo, not become it!"

lol loved this line from new episode "i may like abortion but at least im not A BORE, SON!"

she's funny

alright, last night's episode of her show was the best one this season. "if there was an n-word for old women that played tennis..."

im enjoying this season very much

I enjoyed both seasons. It's up there with Strangers with Candy for me. Not quite, but close.

last week when the gay guys were scared they were going to turn straight if they stopped smoking weed was classic

my brother told me recently that he isn't shallow, his ideal woman isn't some actress or model, it's sarah silverman. i was like "are you kidding me?"

F the haterz

your brother has good taste. she is smart, funny and beautiful.

I think the best episode of the season was the one where the big orange gay guys try the indica weed. They are the best part of every episode (Brian Posehn is damn funny) and last night's episode was no exception. Sarah is either on or off. I thought she was off last night but on the episode where she was in blackface (the indica episode). Anyways it really depends on every particular joke. When she is funny, she is very hot. I'm not gonna complain about her 'stupid racism' remarks because they can be funny sometimes too... but when it is the only thing she does, it gets annoying.

so I guess I am gonna complain about them

The part of the episode where Brian goes on a rampage in the coffee shop and his mouth gets all big for a second was pretty scary.

http://www.drummerworld.com/pics/drum2/aaroncomess15.jpg

I think her Matt Damon video is funnier than her show and her standup act.

she always good in short bursts like that. see also that video with lionel richie.

Yeah, as annoyed as I am by 'viral video hits' that are actually just skits from TV shows, her Matt Damon song and Kimmel's Ben Affleck song are both pretty entertaining. I'm not sure why, but Matt Damon jokes are always funny (see also: Team America and Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back).

lol loved this line from new episode "i may like abortion but at least im not A BORE, SON!"

nah kid say what you FEEL son

Silverman way funnier than both NYer and Kimmel

my room is wallpapered with VICE i'm not sayin i'm just sayin

just so i know where u stand on 'chink' joeks

So I guess ironic racial humor is still ultimately hateful and divisive, or something?

I mean she made jew jokes. And had black friends.

i mean on the real ss says some shit that is over the line (cf chink joke), but imo she's often funny. humor and offensiveness are not mutually exclusive.

She looks like the Helena Bonham Carter's character from the The Planet of the Apes movie.

Plus she has an irritating voice.

wow nearly everybody weighed on this thread o'er the years, that says something.

http://thegreatschlep.com/

s'ok

thegreatschlep - maybe good for Obama... but good for the Jews? (lol)

I don't ususally like her, but I like this video.

great schlep made me lol

Dan Wilcox: Ok, so I’m sitting here with Sarah Silverman for KCRW’s guest DJ Project. My name is Dan Wilcox. What’s next on our list of songs?

Sarah Silverman: Well Dan, the next song is a song by a band called the Mountain Goats, who I don’t really know much about at all, but I came across this song called “No Children” and I LOVE it. It’s not heartbreaking per se, it’s definitely negative -- it’s like ‘I hope you die, I hope we both die.’

Dan Wilcox: (laughs) How did you come across this?

Sarah Silverman: You know when you’re on iTunes and you’re just searching and one thing leads to this leads to this leads to this and then somehow I just heard this song and, you know, then I learned it on the guitar and sing it to myself in the apartment.

Dan Wilcox: Oh really, so you have your own rendition of the song that you do.

Sarah Silverman: Yeah – it’s a terrible version of this…

(song plays)

Dan Wilcox: Ok that was “No Children,” but the Mountain Goats.

Sarah Silverman: I love that song. How bout when they go (sings with music) “I am drowning, there is no sign of land, you are coming down with me.” I love that, all right, sorry.

Oh shit!

last night's episode was kinda lame except for the Bachelor Party/Oingo Boingo parody party

She's on 8 Out Of Ten Cats next week, which seems surprisingly surprising to me.

i forwarded that video to my cousin, who is totally sarah silvermanish

Sarah Silvermannish Boy.

Apparently she's not funny.

I would like to see this woman.

Probably didn't think a bunch of Britishes would get most of her references.

40 minutes is a short set?

http://consequenceofsound.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/bobdylanfreetradehall66markmakin15medfavegall.jpg

she and J0hn oughta do a co-headliner...

i think she's funny a good 70% of the time. i also think she's cuet 100% of the time

anyone who paid that much to see a comedy act is probably a douche anyway

^ this

i've seen jesus is magic and got most of the references ok. i think she translates pretty well over here.

there was a story about Coogan getting booed the other day too

it's obv all the lex

Britishers whining about something shocker

40 mins is OK if it's a comedy club and there's 2 or 3 other acts there as well. It's not if you are the feature act and the venue is a theatre, with prices to match.

My guess is she was badly advised (or not advised at all). The UK comedy scene is a hell of a bearpit at the best of times. To assume they are more laid-back audiences is about as wrong as you can get.

Pretty sure staring at tits while someone makes "edgy" gags is a universal thing.

Sarah Silverman is very open about her lifelong battle with clinical depression, crediting her current freedom from attacks of despair to her use of prescription Zoloft, which she says was urged by her mother and aunt, both psychologists.

Silverman is a teetotaller.

you happy now you goddamn limey bastards?

you gave her lifelong depression

didn't she get back with kimmel? that's punishment enough for 10 lifetimes.

Former host of The Man Show? More like current host of the Oh, Maaaan That's Terrible show.

She was on JRoss show, and 8-10cats...

Likeable, yeah. Once she got in a stride of sorts, she was funny. But I get the impression she's not a 'died-in-the-wool' professional comedian type, which is fine. JRoss was 'feeding' her possible comedy spur lines and she was batting them away. "Madonna and Guy splitting? I have nothing to say about that..." GOOD!

But I get the impression she's not a 'died-in-the-wool' professional comedian type

You mean she's just doing this for a while until she gets some proper acting jobs?

Well, I meant as in not a 'honed to the nth degree professional' like yr Monkhouse/JRivers types.

Well that's hardly unusual, is it? Her appearance in last year's (or was it the year before?) Secret Policeman's Ball seems to have been airbrushed out of history, which is just as well for her sake.

But I get the impression she's not a 'died-in-the-wool' professional comedian type

I hear that's how the shepherd passed away.

"news is dicks."

anyone else watching her show this season? i think my favorite thing was a week or two ago when jay and laura spent all of their time alone dancing wildly.

the only thing i like about the show is that it's set in valley village -- i always pass the valley village station on the orange line on the way to my bf's place in sherman oaks, and it makes me smile.

and sherman oaks makes me think of it's garry shandling's show!

Could the Vatican solve world hunger by liquidating it's assets?

Sarah Silverman: Jimmy Kimmel Never Called Me Pretty

megalolz @last episode's Altered States homage

I would just like to pop onto this thread to express my disappointment with her twitter quips.

that is all.

i'd rather look at her than listen to her.
that is all i have to say on the matter x

For some reason assumedly having to do with Google's algorithm, if you do a gis of me, several of the pictures are things I posted on this thread. The internet loves a hot chick.

Kaleidoscope Funk Network lolz

apparently she thought Inglo*****s Bast*rds was great Jewish propaganda, so obv a pinhead after all.

and to think, she used to post here, before we forced her out

I wonder if there is a way Morbius can fit his hatred for QT into every thread on the board.

Seriously, I'm almost starting to admire his level of dedication to this cause. Almost.

someday I'm gonna meet Quentin T. and I'm gonna say "I know this guy who totally hates you, you gotta have a character called 'Morbius' in your next movie & you gotta make the movie suck even worse than usual" and he's totally gonna say "I will do it because you are cool" and when the movie comes out we will totally have a thread about it

gonna be a great day

can you also tell QT to make the character a yankees fan?

Yes we can!

Nicely played sir.

I like his earlier, funny movies; maybe he should make one with Sarah Silverman

i would 'make one' with sarah silverman

Terrible euphemism.

Is Comedy Central trying to kill her show now? It's on at midnight with maybe one re-run on Sunday night.

HOLYOMG teh robot just winked ath e fbi guy before he exploded a dozen detonators. This is the craziest funnies thing I've ever seen! Mostly a non-Sarah show tonight but her appearances were hilariest LOLz Yes and yes.

LOL The train LOL Bright Eyes

haha wtf this is on Thursdays at midnight now?!?

Breve episode was next level

(altho blackface = um never advisable, Sarah)

Even before The Sarah Silverman Program came back from the interminable break between seasons two and three, the writing was on the wall: Comedy Central reportedly balked at the show’s expense (and the cast’s supposed desire for more money), and only through a partnership with the Logo network was the show’s third season funded. When it finally returned in early February, Comedy Central moved it to the late-night graveyard a month later, airing after Colbert and without the usual regimen of reruns the network gives its original programming.

So the message couldn’t have been clearer: This is it for The Sarah Silverman Program.

They really seem to be going out with a bang, turning up the weirdness levels and hitting you with non-stop jokes. Thursdays at midnight, I'll definitely be there....

:(
This has become my favorite show this season.

um the last episode was last night dude

(xp)

I haven't seen it but ... "Wowschwitz!" how could it not be funny

Nazis are comedy gold

Rabbi writes offensive and patronizing letter to Sarah Silverman, Sarah Silverman's dad tells rabbi to go fuck himself:

new HBO special is v funny

Her descriptions of the 3 r'n'b American Music Award nominees (Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Rihana)

The soul and R&B award was presented by comedian Sarah Silverman, who joked that Rihanna, a woman of color, was going up against "a white guy from 'The Mickey Mouse Club' (Timberlake) and the son of the dad from 'Growing Pains' (Robin Thicke)." When Timberlake accepted the award, he joked back that it was the "first time I've ever been racially profiled by a white woman."

Saw a little of her most recent special last night. While it wasn't great overall, she made a pretty good non-funny point that hit me as a dad -- basically, that telling a girl "You can be anything you want when you grow up," is a little like telling someone "Don't worry, I'm not going to read your diary while you're in the shower."

Watched "I Smile Back" last night. It is not a good movie, but she is pretty good in it.

I thought it was pretty good for the two-thirds of the film where she wasn't drugging or drinking. I even thought at one point (not knowing the novel) that it was going to accomplish the miraculous--not have the mandatory relapse, where the rule seems to be the more brutal the more authentic. So of course that's where it headed, and immediately after probably the best sequence in the film, her son's recital. I don't know what the point of this checklist is. We've seen it in every addiction movie ever, and the scene with the Springsteen guy was especially ugly.

The performances were fine--liked the husband too.

Hi. This is me telling everyone in my life at once why I haven't been around. This will not interest everyone so feel free to disregard.
I was in the ICU all of last week and I am insanely lucky to be alive. Don't even know why I went to the doctor, it was just a sore throat. But I had a freak case of epiglottitis.
I owe my life to Dr. Shawn Nasseri, Dr. Robert Naruse, Dr. Rob Huizenga, every nurse, and every technician & orderly at Cedars who's punch-the-clock jobs happen to save human lives on the regular.
There's something that happens when three people you're so close to die within a year and then YOU almost die but don't. (That was me. I'm the one that didn't die.) It's a strange dichotomy between, "Why me?" and the other, "Why me?"
They couldn't put me fully to sleep for the recovery process because my blood pressure's too low. I was drugged just enough to not feel the pain and have no idea what was happening or where I was. They had to have my hands restrained to keep me from pulling out my breathing tube. My friend Stephanie said I kept writing "was I in an accident?"
When I woke up 5 days later I didn't remember anything. I thanked everyone at the ICU for my life, went home, and then slowly as the opiates faded away, remembered the trauma of the surgery & spent the first two days home kind of free-falling from the meds / lack of meds and the paralyzing realization that nothing matters. Luckily that was followed by the motivating revelation that nothing matters.
I'm so moved by my real-life hero, Michael, and amazing Sissies (blood & otherwise) & friendos, who all coordinated so that there wasn't a moment I was alone. It makes me cry. Which hurts my throat. So stop.
Anyway there are some funny stories too.
I couldn't speak for a while and I don't remember a lot of my "lucid" time, but Amy (the Zvi) told me I stopped a nurse - like it was an emergency - furiously wrote down a note and gave it to her. When she looked at it, it just said, "Do you live with your mother?" next to a drawing of a penis.
Also, when I first woke up and the breathing tube came out, I still couldn't talk and they gave me a board of letters to communicate. My loved ones stood there, so curious what was going to be the first thing I had to say. They followed my finger, rapt, as I pointed from letter to letter until I finally spelled out, "Did you see 'Hello My Name is Doris.'"

I love you all. Your friend,
Sarah

Wow.

shes sort of hot. and sometimes admittedly funny. but i have next to no interest or care in her health and wellbeing. in fact i have an interest in the opposite.

Oh nice. Thanks for dropping by.

that wasnt a dig at you, more just that i dont really consider her to be an esp 'good' or 'nice' person. she doesnt have to be of course but doesnt mean i have to like her either.

eat a dick

I had a freak sore throat situation last year and thought I was going to die. (Doctors didnt think so... It was mostly my paranoia bc they couldnt find an effective treatment for a few months). Relate to Ms Silverman's experience here.

"eat a dick"

aww

I did as well.

I have attempted to threadban him. Sometimes that function works, sometimes it does not. Continue to FP if necessary.

I dunno, guys, I think it's fairly considerate when someone stops into a thread to not only indicate their general lack of interest in the person(s) being discussed but also their investment in the accelerated demise of said person(s). It save us the time and hassle of asking every registered user whether they're dumb idiots who suck.

fwiw I think Sarah Silverman seems like a very nice person

was this precipitated @ all by her being a weed smoker

glad shes ok

forgive me for thinking the person behind any number of 'ironic racism' gags about Asians and blacks might not actually be the nicest person...

you should study up on her

"ironic racism" is not accurate

Like, not even in the slightest.

Her comedy has a much bigger heart than most imo.

anyway, was shocked to see this, very glad she's okay. Plenty of things I disagree w her about (Bernie, Israel etc.) but really feel she's a valuable comedic voice and just a sweet person.

jesus christ StillAdvance she's not fucking Scalia or something
im gonna FP u
never done this before
so out of nowhere wtf dude
*wow emoji*
#brave
fuck you
