I first heard about her from the film 'The Aristcrats', her bit in that was pretty funny and prompted me to see what else she's done. I found the f***ing Matt Damon thing hilarious although the Paris Hilton call out was the best.

I watched her live dvd, which was average. I found myself laughing but it was a bit hit and miss.

As for her TV show I did find it funny, but mostly irritating as she plays some sort of ADD mentally-undeveloped person. Some of the material is random as hell, which usually I quite like but I just found it unfunny here.

Edit: I still would though :)

I hate that advert. I hate everything about it. Also she looks a bit odd.
I know I'm opening pandora's box in saying this, but a lot of female comedians just aren't funny. And that is demonstrably correct.

I just don't find her funny. The only joke of hers that I've laughed at was when she was talking to a cop, he asks why she thinks he's (there)/here and she replies because he got C's in high school. Other than that I have never laughed at her.

I would have to agree. Though replace "a lot" with "every one I've ever seen."

Sex jokes and "men leave the toilet up/never call after sex" jokes just aren't as funny as you seem to think, guys.

I don't think she's attractive and it takes a certain type of vulgar humor to tickle my funny bone.
She doesn't have it.
It's almost quite ironic; Women in the comedy business would be all too familiar with sexism, yet it seems to be their main vehicle for nearly all of their jokes.

Just remember - it's never sexism if it's against a male.
Only females can be discriminated against!
Well, females and black people.
Pure, concentrated truth.

Her show is even WORSE than Frasier. Sarah Silverman Show tends me to unplug my TV, throw out the window and see who will land first, me or the TV. And no, I do not live on the first floor.

The show has it's moments.
And those moments all involve Brian Posehn.
He's hilarious and the only good reason to watch the show.

Besides that it's fairly unfunny.

Also, the rape of a woman is tragic, but the rape of a man is oh so hilarious. God bless Tv Tropes.

Nice to see you're back from your "forced vacation" Max.

Carlos Mencia is also another example of how unfunny some comedians can be.
Carlos' biggest problem is that he subscribes to the "If I say it loud enough, it must be funny" school of comedic thought.

No bueno.

Is she the one who was in school of rock?

All her jokes have "female supremacy" written between the lines. so no, i don't think she's funny.

I know I sound crude in saying this, but Sarah Silverman is the kind of girl I'd tap and tap hard, but never bring home to the family because she would succeed in alienating everyone, including the neighbors who weren't even there at the time. I liked her on Greg the Bunny, and as an actress when she's not writing her own lines, but as a comedian.....nah.

I do feel a strange need to stand up for Carlos Mencia though. I think he's frikkin hilarious, and have watched all those youtube "examples" of him taking other peoples jokes and have found that......well, he really hasn't. Either A)The subject matter was the same, but both the punch-line and delivery were different or B)Joe Rogan is a whiny ***** because he didn't make it as big as Mencia.

That show is probably the most awful piece of garbage I have ever seen on Comedy Central. Apparently her particular brand of humor is acting like an arrogant moron.
