Wow, a Kathy Griffin clip where she's endearing instead of annoying! Cool!


Weeeell... a little from column A, but a lot from column B. I still find listening to her to be like listening to fingernails on a black board. But I'd take that over seeing Michelle Bachmann's evil, cold, souless, dead stare... *shudder*

How long has this skank been bigoted towards Christians?
Percentage of Christians in American population: 85%
Gays: 4% tops

You may wish to catch up with the times... Secularism is rising, Christianity is dying. In the US. This is from our (horribly flawed as Backman puts it) census in 2010 referring backwards to other censuses...

I don't understand your deal with numbers, QM. If only 4% of folks are gay does that mean they get reduced rights and privileges? Only 15% of the country is black but it was eventually decided blacks could participate in society any way. 1% Jews, 1% Muslim, etc. doesn't mean 1% citizenship. It's bizarre. What shall we do with the 8% who are left handed? Tie their left arms down when they learn writing in the first grade like we used to? Sheesh...

Also, I think your data on xian population is a little out of date. According to the last census it's more like 76% not that it matters.

You, my friend, are quite necessary and relevant.

Calling her a name: completely unnecessary and irrelevant. ...In sum, your comment is completely worthless. Please refrain from making further comments if they aren't going to have some minimal value.

Calling her a skank: completely unnecessary and irrelevant. Whether or not she is a skank has nothing to do with the validity of her opinion.

Who said she is bigoted towards Christians? I'll have to watch it again, but I believe she accused Bachman of bigotry, not all Christians.

Percentages of Christians and gays: totally irrelevant. Why does this matter in the slightest? It has nothing to do with whether Bachman is right, or even whether Christians or gays are right.

In sum, your comment is completely worthless. Please refrain from making further comments if they aren't going to have some minimal value.

When she first showed up I liked her. But the last few years she's been a bit too shrill, or something. I dunno.

I always find her endearing

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.


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...

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.
