Sarah Silverman
Is she a comic genius or just Pee Wee Herman's mentally challenged cousin?

1. She's a Carroll O'Connor wannabe.
She tries to act like a modern day Archie Bunker, but she just doesn't "get it" and it shows in her presentation.

That's from what I recall of the two embarrassments otherwise called "two episodes of the Sarah Silverman Program"

3. She's not funny to me.
But not everyone has the same sense of humor, that's for certain.

I do appreciate her efforts in Florida during election time--the Great Schlep. http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/09/sarah_silverman_urges_young_je.html

5. She's okay.
Plus Brian Poshein is on her show, which scores bonus points.

23. My friend said that she's not funny, that what she does is just for shock value.
I agree. x(

7. she's hilarious
Those who don't find her funny were raised by cold hearted people to fear the world around them.

8. I laugh too much
at this

"I don't mean gay like homosexual, I mean gay like retarded."

1. because I love teh ghey
2. because I belong to a blog network for autism/asperger acceptance and they hate the R word

3. I can't help it, it makes me laugh

4. she needs to have her eyebrows shaped.

9. Being TV free . . .
I checked out a video of hers having no clue who she was and I thought she was just gross.

Maybe a couple times she was funny but I was so shell-shocked already I didn't notice.

14. I liked the 3 episodes that I saw
I like unusual stuff, though. She was homeless and living on the street. Laying on the ground with her homeless buds, huffing paint out of a paper bag with TV written on it. That's how the homeless find entertainment. Loved it. But, I also, love, Reaper, and went wild over, Trailer Park Boys.

19. She's horribly funny.
Horrible, and funny. Sometimes both, sometimes just one or the other.

24. Sarah takes risks. Sometimes she scores, sometimes she doesn't.
I think she's very interesting to watch because of it.

25. She could be both.
There are moments of comic brilliance in her act, but her totally narcissistic persona can be grating. My wife, for instance, can't stand her, having known too many people like the character she plays.

The rest of the cast of her show is brilliant.
