Comments on: Sarah Silverman’s humor doesn’t translate well for Brits http://www.celebitchy.com/16555/sarah_silvermans_humor_doesnt_translate_well_for_brits/ Stylish celebrity escapism Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:41:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: drew hay http://www.celebitchy.com/16555/sarah_silvermans_humor_doesnt_translate_well_for_brits/comment-page-1/#comment-631666 drew hay Tue, 02 Feb 2010 07:56:18 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=16555#comment-631666 Here here. I keep giving this woman a chance but she has one act, I appear to be attractive but oops, look what came out of my mouth! She uses the excuse of being jewish to tap into racial jokes, the lowest common denominator. The problem is even those aren't funny. Then she proceeds to say something like I pooped in my butt or my p**** itches. You would expect that out of a homeless person or an old whore but regardless of who says it its not funny. All the silverman apologists say those who don't find her funny are just too PC. Nope, we just prefer wit, snappy lines, maybe a new concept. save the poop and fart jokes and women with a penis for maybe scary movie 5 or maybe middle school. Anyone over 14 who finds this woman humorous is perpetuating the stereotype of the dumb american, and that IS offensive. I'm all for women comedians, so don't think its that and you can be a man, woman, dog and if poop jokes and racial slurs are your A-material, hang it up. Here here.

I think it's pretty brilliant. But when she's doing stand-up I just don't get her. So for me she's good when it's a scripted show, & yes I know she writes the show. But not so good when she's live.

You'd be surprised there are many Brits who don't like him. And I agree with the UK audience, she does suck. Not funny at all. The UK has lots of funny comedians, not just Russell Brand.

It's not ordinary comedy, it's more along the lines of Andy Kaufman. If you can let go of conventional ideas about stand-up, you'll get it. You still might not think it amusing, but at least you'll understand what she's trying to do. Sarah’s act may be difficult for some to appreciate.
