There’s a Sarah Silverman debate that I forgot I was having over at Greencine<\/a>,
\nand I think by now the people I was arguing with have forgotten it too,
\nso I’m pasting the comments here to continue. Isn’t there anyone else
\nout there who hates her?<\/p>\n

I doubt you’re completely alone, Cynthia. Of course, I’ve seen
\nreserved praise, concerned critique and so on, but I haven’t seen
\nsevere dislike out there yet. But you can’t<\/i> be completely alone.<\/p>\n

Myself, I missed Jesus is Magic<\/i> at SXSW, blast it, but I’ll freely admit that the clips I’ve seen have made me laugh. Sorry.<\/p>\n

There was a great article on Silverman in the New Yorker a few weeks
\nago. Her act seems to upset people. Why is it that the same
\nwords,issuing as they might from the mouth of Jimmy Kimmel, don’t seem
\nnearly as jarring as when we hear them spoken by Sarah Silverman? It’s
\nsomething to ponder.<\/p>\n

I think if you go by the New Yorker profile, I could see people
\nespecially not “getting” her, or her act – though it was interesting…
\nBut I think she is all about what Stacy points to here, the “How can a
\ncute girl say such filthy, awful things?” But the filthy part wouldn’t
\nmatter if she wasn’t clever, and funny. Matter of personal taste and
\nmood, I suppose. <\/p>\n

But c’mon, how can you say this is not funny (from the Nerve interview):<\/p>\n

How do your parents feel about your act?
\nThey totally love it. Sometimes my mom will have her opinions. Like
\nthere’s this riff at the end of the movie, during the credits when they
\nshow that B-roll montage, where I’m looking at a picture of myself in
\nthis ’60s costume and I say something like, “God, I look like Marlo
\nThomas if she’d just walked in on her father lying under a glass coffee
\ntable while someone’s taking a shit on it.” Because, you know, there’s
\nthat rumor about Danny Thomas. And my mom begged me to take that out.
\nShe was like, “He was such a great man and he shouldn’t be remembered
\nthat way! He opened a children’s hospital!” And she’s right, he was a
\ngreat man and I totally don’t want to contribute to him being reduced
\nto just that one rumor, but what are you going to do? Also, I don’t
\nknow if this is just coincidence, but at Canter’s Deli in L.A., the
\nDanny Thomas sandwich is number two on the menu.<\/p>\n

easy. it’s not funny. and it’s interesting that she is compared to
\nher boyfriend jimmy kimmel here, because i always wondered if he writes
\nher jokes. they are a man’s jokes, written to entertain men. i don’t
\nactually believe that he writes them, but it’s what i hate about her.
\nshe’s a guy’s girl, and she’s speaking to\/trying to turn on guys. plus
\nthe fact that she makes fun of her vanity doesn’t change the fact that
\nshe is phenomenally vain.<\/p>\n
