I currently have a minor bronchial infection. When she said "peachtree dish" I came seriously close to choking to death.

A vaginal bronchial infection? I wonder what that would look like...

Bacterial vaginosis

so far i've seen two clips from the new conan show, and both have been about vaginas, which has gotta signify something, doesn't it?

Nope, not even Conan can bring me to listen to that shrill, unfunny and agonizing voice.

I don't care what anyone says--I think she's sexy.

People that don't get Sarah Silverman amaze me.

Love her!

Oh she can be just amazingly hilarious at times. When she's just trying to shock people by saying nigger over and over is when she's boring.

A. The whole point of her humor. And MOST humor, is trying to shock people. Whether it's a lot or just a little.
B. When did she ever say nigger over and over again?

As the French like to say, le ew.

I have tried on several different occasions to enjoy Sarah Silverman, some of her jokes are really clever. I take it she has good writers, her mannerisms, her delivery, and her pitch are what bothers me. Different strokes for different folks.

Please...

That, and her annoying and obnoxious voice/behaviour is what I don't like about her. Her humor is probably "shocking" to most Americans, but to me it just comes off as boring and cheap. Her and Kathy Griffin, bleh.

One thing it don't smell like is Matt Damon.

There is no way I'm clicking on that link. I already can't even look at cottage cheese thanks to teaching the equivalent of sex ed in high school.>> ^Norsuelefantti:

I've heard her go through routines where she just says racial epithets over and over. And just constantly trying to shock people gets boring...which is why when she does it she's not funny. It's not my opinion it's an objective measurement by an Un-Funny-O-Meter. A device I imagine will have to go overtime analyzing your next reply to one of my posts.

In short not everyone is funny all the time. They certainly aren't when they get formulaic.

You didn't say "racial epithets" before. You said "saying nigger over and over". I'm curious, with access to the entire internet at your fingertips, can you come up with one video, or even a transcription of one of her acts that meets that qualification? Or are you completely full of shit? I mean, that IS what you said isn't it?

You know what sets my Un-Funny-O-Meter off? Someone who once said that they found Rush Limbaugh hilarious calling Sarah Silverman formulaic.

Considering that most Americans don't get Sarah Silverman, I'm more than happy to be lumped in with the intelligent few that do. See, the whole idea of Sarah Silverman's "act" (I can't believe I'm actually having to explain this on the Sift) is to appear as annoying and stupid as possible. Now, you can shrug that off with a witty "well, then she's very good at her job", but that's the whole point. The really funny thing about her is that she annoys people, while the rest of the audience sits back and laughs directly at the people who don't understand. And she IS indeed, very good at her job. You're just not realizing that you're falling for it. So calling her annoying and meaning it is just you... missing the point.

I'm not sure how you could possibly lump her in with Kathy Griffin but I love when people use the whole "shocking" cop out. See, the way that a lot of humor works is that after the set up, some unexpected or "shocking" occurrence ends the joke. It's about reversal and surprise. That's why they call it a "punch" line. People try to say the same thing about Howard Stern, Louis C.K. or even in some cases about George Carlin, when the fact of the matter is that the people who say that kind of thing are still being "shocked" or surprised by they're favorite comedians. It's just that in their case, the favorite comedian happens to be someone like Jeff Dunham, Sinbad, or Carrot Top. But the idea of the reversal is still the same. Some people just find talking Jalapenos more shocking than others.

"The intelligent few that do" Oh Please..

You like a different comedian, doesn't make you a brainiac.

You're pulling out my posting history to defend your opinion against my opinion of the funnyness of Sarah Silverman. You win the argument dude...grats....I still don't think she's that funny. I am now convinced that you're easily upset and a big baby about stupid shit though.

So you ARE completely full of shit then. It's not about whether or not she's funny, of course that's a matter of opinion. (sigh) I'm so lonely.

Aniatario: You're right in that being smarter than most Americans does not make me a brainiac.

^Dude, chill out.

Like she hock's a loogie when she queefs.

Really? I honestly have no fucking idea why.

Shit that is decent humour

Dude, I don't like her as a comedian, that has zero to do with "getting" her or missing the point. Just because we don't share the same taste doesn't mean the world's gonna end. Different people like different things, get over it. Next thing you'll try to convince me that I don't like Ben Affleck because I don't "get" him...

Dude (Ryjkyj) was just explaining himself, that is all. The result of explaining yourself is often a long post from which people tend to infer a lot of ancillary bullshit.

What I'd like to see (but likely never will) is someone explaining why they DON'T like Sarah Silverman with as much skill.

Alas, alak, Alaska

I'm not a big fan by any means. In fact I usually find her sort of ho-hum.

But that was funny.

Shuac, no one who hates Sarah Silverman to begin with is going to care enough to watch and analyze her performances thoroughly. Soo yes, you probably won't find one of us caring.

Give me a little duct tape, and I'll agree.
