Sarah Silverman: Funny or not? Hot or not?

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.

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):
