I should live under a bridge! And eat goats!

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

seven months pass...
Sarah Silverman: very hot, sometimes very funny also ... HOWEVER, I agree her dating Kimmel is a big strike against her. Kimmel is a talentless piece of sh*t and he should've stuck with the Man Show.

I'm all for hot smart girls dating dorky shlubs with serious manhandlage. There are few things I support so strongly.

She reminds me of the hot older sister of the friend of the bar mitzvah boy who is bored to tears and wants to go smoke out back or better. She probably would have a name like Shoshanna or something though.

this is the second greatest thing ever said on ILX

Hot, but not funny at all. The "oh look at me I made a Holocaust joke!" thing isn't as edgy as she wants it to be.

miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 8 January 2004 04:42 (twenty years ago) link

I take that back, she was funny in Heartbreakers - "He's not really into assplay."

miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 8 January 2004 04:43 (twenty years ago) link

Funny. Her joke about her pink immaculate asshole and never having shit is hilarious. And she's foxy. I saw her on Celebrity Poker and she's pretty good for a comedian.

Oh yeah...

ModJ (ModJ), Thursday, 8 January 2004 05:06 (twenty years ago) link

I'm bored. Some highlights from a Sarah Silverman mp3 I got off Kazaa (judge for yourself):

"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."

Are you on AIM and can you send these to me so I can listen?

ModJ (ModJ), Thursday, 8 January 2004 05:39 (twenty years ago) link

I like her!

latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 8 January 2004 07:42 (twenty years ago) link

She totally looks like Melissa Rivers, btw.

Allyzay, Thursday, 8 January 2004 15:44 (twenty years ago) link

Well that's a right cold shower.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:17 (twenty years ago) link

It is true, though.

El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:18 (twenty years ago) link

a Melissa Rivers who looks like she could actually hold a conversation, perhaps.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:25 (twenty years ago) link

How does someone "look like they can hold a conversation"? Define conversation anyway, SS is like the definition of obnoxious. I mean not that Jimmy Fallon isn't but at least I never pretended I could hold a conversation with him.

Allyzay, Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:26 (twenty years ago) link

I'm actually really curious, if you know nothing about these two women besides what they look like, how on earth does Sarah Silverman "look like she can hold a conversation" and Melissa Rivers doesn't? They're like clones for christ's sake!

Allyzay, Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:28 (twenty years ago) link

So hot. And I'm not even into Jewish girls, usually.

Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:34 (twenty years ago) link

I mean not that Jimmy Fallon isn't but at least I never pretended I could hold a conversation with him.

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

bnw (bnw), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:34 (twenty years ago) link

I've seen both interviewed on TV, so perhaps I'm not really able to say they "look" a certain way or not. Big vacant smiles vs. smirking, really.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:35 (twenty years ago) link

It wasn't a difficult question, bnw.

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.

Allyzay, Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:40 (twenty years ago) link

If I got stuck having to hold a conversation with either of those women I'm pretty sure I'd snap within a few minutes. MORE DRINKS OVER HERE PLZ

TOMBOT, Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:43 (twenty years ago) link

I wouldn't worry too much, it's not like any of these women would give any ILXor the time of day so there's no worry of boredom-based alcohol poisoning!!

Allyzay, Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

I kinda regretted the smile vs. smirk thing as soon as I wrote it. It's really more based on the interviews that made me have any preference between the two. But honestly the thing I like most about Sarah Silverman is that she'd admit to dating Jimmy Kimmel. I think that's rad.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:48 (twenty years ago) link

I think I would have to sock Jimmy Fallon for his constant mugging.

bnw (bnw), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:48 (twenty years ago) link

I wish rapid aging on the sonuvabitch.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:49 (twenty years ago) link

I would pay $10,000 to see a bnw/Jimmy Fallon fist fight.

Allyzay, Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:49 (twenty years ago) link

He is like a 40 year old still using makeoutclub.

bnw (bnw), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:49 (twenty years ago) link

Fallon should wake up tomorrow with Mick Jagger's face. Let's see if he gets away with cracking up out of character then.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 8 January 2004 17:50 (twenty years ago) link

but the Mick Jagger-in-the-mirror bit was Fallon's best sketch ever!

"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.

Al (sitcom), Thursday, 8 January 2004 18:49 (twenty years ago) link

clearly Silverman is way bigger.

Al (sitcom), Thursday, 8 January 2004 19:00 (twenty years ago) link

I haven't heard a single joke the woman has ever told, but based on the pictures of her, I'm going with the "not hot." Eh, better make that "not my type."

Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 8 January 2004 19:08 (twenty years ago) link

I've always found her to be hot. Her stuff on Crank Yankers can be good sometimes too, although there've been a couple sketches where she's taken the joke way too far.

may pang (maypang), Thursday, 8 January 2004 19:12 (twenty years ago) link

haven't heard a single joke the woman has ever told
you'll hear all 3 of them sooner or later.

she is kindof a cutie-pie tho.

dyson (dyson), Thursday, 8 January 2004 19:19 (twenty years ago) link

she's dating Kimmel? ehhhhh.

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.

don weiner, Thursday, 8 January 2004 20:32 (twenty years ago) link

eight months pass...
haha - i was about to start a SS thread and wondering whether i should call it "funny or not?" or "hot or not?" and LO AND BEHOLD!

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 08:18 (nineteen years ago) link

answer: both, of course.

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).

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 08:27 (nineteen years ago) link

not hot.

AaronK (AaronK), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 11:27 (nineteen years ago) link

admittedly she looks pretty bad in all the pics of her posted to this thread.

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 12:08 (nineteen years ago) link

one year passes...
Good Slate article on Silverman

Confounded (Confounded), Monday, 14 November 2005 15:49 (eighteen years ago) link

A Playboy interviewer, probing for something salacious, once asked Silverman if she had a nickname for her vagina. She answered "Faggot"—a throwaway joke that manages to kink sexual identity into such an ingenious pretzel it could fuel a doctoral dissertation.

The writing's a bit much.

kingfish cold slither (kingfish 2.0), Monday, 14 November 2005 16:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I think it's probably better than the New Yorker article, half of which was devoted to just recapping her act. (I'm worried that with all the press I've been reading about Silverman that by the time I get around seeing Jesus is Magic I'll already know all the jokes.)

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 14 November 2005 16:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Just read the NYer article and skip the movie, you'll save like 5 bucks.

n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 14 November 2005 16:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Ebert's review of her movie is great.

Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 14 November 2005 16:26 (eighteen years ago) link

It was a tad condescending. But since I don't really like Silverman I didn't care.

n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 14 November 2005 16:28 (eighteen years ago) link

I do think she was the best part of The Aristocrats -- or at least I laughed longer and harder at her version than anyone else's.
