Her quiet depravity has netted her many fans (even some outside her immediate family.) Here's what you need to see to catch up with Sarah Silverman, the funniest person on television: Date with God, The Aristocrats, I Love You, Jury Duty, A Very Convenient Truth, My Boyfriend is Catholic, Writer's Strike, Comic Relief, The Sarah Silverman Program.
I'll save you three minutes. Skip the "Writer's Strike" link. Not funny, just nasal rambling.

Sorry about the Writer's Strike not being as funny, but I think the pay off is watching her trying to negotiate the seriousness of this Writer's message with her desire to be a comedian. Some of her comments about management probably not being evil monsters cracked me up.

I've tried watching her comedy channel show. I would love to love it, but it's very disappointing. It never quite manages the transition from peculiar to funny, and never quite removes "I wonder what else is on?" from my mind.
Like Date with God. NOTHING happens. God is dull, and we all know that already.

Initially she amused me, but I've long since stopped finding her really funny. She is riding the wave of the current version of humor--popularized by shows like South Park and Family Guy--where telling a joke is as simple as saying something horrendously politically incorrect and waiting for people to laugh. Partly because of your ballsiness, partly out of discomfort.
Except it's not really ballsy or interesting anymore because everyone and their fucking mother is doing it. It's a cheap way to get a laugh. There's very little politicaly or social commentary left, there's just "Look, I just implied lynching was funny and referred to women as dumb bitches, and I'm getting away with it! Hahaha! Look at the absolutely awful things I can think of! Hahaha!" It's satire after eliminating the subtlety and cleverness and then throwing it into the middle of a keg party at a frat house.

I agree with hexatron -- to me her show has too much of that "we're too hip to try" vibe, which some might argue is skewering lame sitcom conventions but feels a little tired and lazy to me. I like her stand-up more.
She also has a good cameo in the new Futurama movie, which I am watching right now.

I always liked her cameos on Mr. Show, and thought she was hilarious in The Aristocrats, but Jesus is Magic didn't make me laugh. Most of her CC show has followed suit.
However, it just recently won me over completely with the episode about "What's on Brian Posehn's iPod?"

I've gotten to the point that when someone says "That's not funny," what I hear is "I don't have a very good sense of humor."
Everything is funny. Everything. It may not suit your tastes, it might not be nice, and it might not be very smart, but that doesn't mean it's unfunny. It's funny to somebody. Children laugh at jokes that we no longer find funny, like this one:
What's covered with syrup and flies through the air? Peter Pancake.
Actually, I still find that one pretty funny.

I watched a few of those clips, and had a mild chuckle. Figured the really funny stuff was yet to come. Her punch lines take forever to set up, and the pay-off is disappointing, if not outright non-existent ...

The episode with the Tab was funny — where Brian Posehn's boyfriend keeps pestering him to try Tab (because the restaurant is out of Diet Coke or something and Posehn sulks) and he just won't let up.
"I don't like Tab."
"Have you tried it?"
"No."
"How do you know if haven't tried it. Try it."
"No."
"Don't be a baby and try it. Tryyyyy it!"
"OKAY. I'll try it if you will shut up."
[he sips it]
"MY GOD! How have I gone my whole life with out this. THANK YOU, Steve. THANK YOU. Tab is the best thing ever!"
So for the rest of the episode, out of revenge, Brian Posehn decides to become a Tab obsessed Tab maniac. Wearing the magenta brand colors and at one point a giant foam Tab can suit. It builds every scene they are in. Really was pretty funny.
Though that was a digression that didn't involve Silverman as much as her support actors. Hence why it was funny — her shock cutsie shtick, outside of stand-up, becomes grating and irritating.

Comedy is totally subjective, and different things are funny to different people.
I'm a bit meh about Sarah Silverman, but she's better than some of the suck out there.
But humor is like politics, different people have very different things they find funny.
In fact, here's a test for where on the funny spectrum you fall. I *know* it's on OK Cupid, but, in spite of this fact, it's not a terrible thing to see where on the spectrum one falls.
Me, I think Stephen Colbert is funnier in his irony, but it always feels, to me at least, that he has something a little more important to say than just "wow, she just said something racist, isn't that shocking?" They both have ironic acts, but I think Colbert pulls it off more intelligently.

People assume that laughing about race is the same as taking it seriously. That may be a psychological projection. Political correctness is racist if it even assumes that races should ideally exist.

The thing is, she isn't insulting. Not in any meaningful way. She's tiresome. I do laugh at some of the jokes she tells, but I won't call them creative. People have been making "White person says 'Nigger'" and "Here is something funny about the Holocaust" jokes for-fucking-ever, and nobody who tells them now and gets a laugh should think of themselves as anything but a hack. You tell one to a group of any college-aged kids and it's like pushing a laugh-track button.
And the worst part is, where originally these jokes could be used to initiate dialog due to their scarcity, they are now so ubiquitous in our culture that I've observed them to have a deadening rather than a heightening effect on people's awareness of these issues.

I have managed to loathe her since I clapped eyes on her in Way of the Gun. I think she really does want to fuck babyheads. Her career is based on, "Look, I've got a pottymouth and I'm fairly attractive!" If she wasn't cute (and she's certainly not as appealing as she thinks she is), she'd be completely nowhere.
When I heard her on NPR, all I could do was keep thinking that I've seen her TV show before and it was called Strangers with Candy. And the dollsome actress behind that was not only actually funny, but went to the trouble of making herself look as hideous as possible.

Generally, I find her tiresome. Occasionally she'll say something that I find funny, but mostly she's just "Black people steal stuff! Did you hear me? I said black people steal stuff!"
I understand that this is commentary on the attitude, rather than the attitude itself, and I'm generally fine with that. It's just that she normally has no actual joke to go along with it.
On a positive note, however, I will admit that the scene in (I think) "Jesus Is Magic" where she is getting, ahem, serviced from behind while grunting "Fuck my tuchus! Fuck my tuchus!" has, erm, improved my life. Thank you, Sarah Silverman!

I think the comparisons of her to Family Guy/South Park or general insult comics made above are inaccurate. I can't claim to know why she does what she does, but I get the notion that she is very deliberately critiquing a specific personality type with her persona. All her jokes revolve around a pseudo-sweet and innocent girl being in actuality a narcissist, a racist and a banally evil person. This seems a parody of the diva pop culture icons, or their upper class fans who are bubbly and cute and care about stopping hunger, and saving the cute furry animals, but cause little but harm. She is to me, making a modern tribute to Mrs. Dalloway. And it is for this reason that I regard her highly.

Well that wasn't funny at all. But heck, only in America could some dumpy skinny white girl with tacky glasses make millions of dollars by tossing out fart jokes for the collegiate set. It's a schtick that would simply have to sell well, it being carefully constructed to offend nobody and do so very softly and timidly and lamely. But everybody needs their guilty pleasures and it's all the better if they're not really that pleasurable at all. At this point it's safe to say that if television didn't exist men would have to invent it.

I have to say I prefer Stewart and Colbert. Silverman reminds me of when my five year old looks at me and says "oh mommy I won't say X because I know and I'm not supposed to," then giggles. But it's funny when she does it, it isn't when Silverman does.
Maybe at first it was transgressive, now it's just repetitive, needlessly disgusting, and coy.

Your humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top.
Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.

Reminded me of the conclusion to Malcolm Gladwell's article in the Nov. 12 New Yorker on the subject of criminal profiling:
He won’t be comfortable with women. But he may have women friends. He will be a lone wolf. But he will be able to function in social settings. He won’t be unmemorable. But he will be unknowable. He will be either never married, divorced, or married, and if he was or is married his wife will be younger or older. He may or may not live in a rental, and might be lower class, upper lower class, lower middle class or middle class. And he will be crazy like a fox, as opposed to being mental. If you’re keeping score, that’s a Jacques Statement, two Barnum Statements, four Rainbow Ruses, a Good Chance Guess, two predictions that aren’t really predictions because they could never be verified—and nothing even close to the salient fact that BTK was a pillar of his community, the president of his church and the married father of two.
Dating sites are just criminal profiling without the criminal, in some way. Instead of asking "what type of person would commit this crime?" the question is "what person would fall in love with this other person?" In both cases, the humble answer is also the correct answer: "I really just don't know."

That's the first time I heard of Sarah and so out of curiosity I watched , kind of expecting something a-la Mel Brooks (Kaminsky), Zucker and Abrahams just because her name is Sarah..I sensed they had something in common, like who knows ..a stupid tradition of short cutting penis of sort. I'd argue with her what about untopping her clit.
Then I saw that it's exaclty what she is about, delivery. She has , imho, a quality to her Girl from Kibbutz look ...you don't expect the to yap so politely a stream of sex related references, which is part of her routine. A big part.
The moment I liked the most ? When she plays the idiot wanna be generous donator in comic relief 2006.
The one I liked the least ? Well you'll find her roasting pamela anderson and courtney ...and it's such a low...it's boring to tears, but I guess that is the same audience target of H.Stern.

Silverman relies too much on the comparison of her expected persona and her behavior for me to find her very funny. She is ok, but it is basically one joke consistently, and the joke is almost just making fun of women, by predicting that you expect the pretty girl to be a)dumb and b)clean. She makes fun of being dumb by being extra-so-seriously dumb that it's a joke (not that uncommon a route with esp. female comics) and she makes fun of being clean the same way bob sagat does, by shocking you because she's not some fat, old bearded guy but still says fuck.

I don't see a lot of people here saying she's too offensive or mean. If you look back, most of the people who you claim don't "get it" do "get it," but just think she doesn't do "it" particularly well.
She tries to be offensive, but since most of the time that's her entire shtick it just feels forced and played-out. I'm not offended, just bored. But if you enjoy it, more power to you.
