Am I missing something with The Sarah Silverman Show? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Srah Silverman is cool because she's such a pottymouth for a decent-looking woman. Her standup is not bad. She's unpredictable in interviews, which is fun.

But you are right: her show on Comedy Network is an abomination, and has shown no signs of improvement. Bad writing, bad casting, poor acting, and very little actual humor.

IMHO.

This is quite correct, they are the saving grace of the show.

I also liked the one where Posehn's character was making youtube videos with special effects.

I just feel the show tries too hard at times and her character is so dislikeable as to be a turn-off.

I feel the same way, but some people really like that.

I run into similar with Bob Sagat's standup (I love it, others find it tries too hard to be dirty and Sagat is dislikable)

How is it homophobic? The gay characters are the best people in the show.

**oscilsoda** · 12-13-2008, 02:16 AM

I don't think that's accurate. Most episodes I've seen, their being gay wasn't dwelt upon as an issue. Like the TAB episode mentioned above--that could have been a fight between a straight couple, it wasn't especially "gay."

They're actually portrayed as the most normal people on the show...

Racism and homophobia can be funny

**NowFloabDow** · 12-13-2008, 02:35 AM

I'm ******* Matt Damon

Kimmel's response was somewhat funny as well.

I've watched a couple of her shows and they weren't great, but not bad enough not to watch them. Mediocre.
