The Sarah Silverman Program... you're views on it.?

Question

I just don't find Sarah Silverman Program funny what so ever. It's tasteless comedy. i tired to laugh but it's a different kind of comedy. she's also raciest. and i don't find it funny. if you watch it you'll understand what i mean.

She sees an old black women. she walks up to her say
Sarah: Eww who’s that?
The Black women: That’s my baby grandson
(It's a baby........ sorry black baby)

and at the end of that show states
Sarah: But mostly I learned that Elderly Black women are wise beyond their years but Younger black women are prostitutes??
GOOD NIGHT!!!
(It's alright to end that show with that quote)

In one of her dreams she supposed to meet this God like character and Sarah say: Are you gods black friend?

I don't think that show is funny what so ever. maybe i'm thinking one dimensional about the situation but i just need to know if anyone else feels the same?

Answer 1

Sarah can be funny, in small doses, in the right role or situation. Usually she is a little too vulgar/profane etc. for my tastes. I guess that's what makes her funny to some, she seems like one thing and then sounds like something else.

I think that she thinks because she is Jewish she can make fun of other religions and races, and it will be funny, because you wouldn't expect that from a nice Jewish girl.

But I agree, not that funny.

My husband thinks she's funnier than I do. He would probably watch her show, not me.

Answer 2

I watched it very last week. there have been some chuckles, yet usually it develop into dumb. Her humor is as one-dimensional as her personality. Frankly, i'd like them to proceed the instruct without her, and concentrate on the Romantic Comedy element of her sister and the cop. The gay men were ridiculus characters, no matter if the appearing develop into ok. there have been some really, really endearing moments, although the off-color humor that develop into meant to make relaxing of racism chanced on as racist. perhaps it receives extra perfect interior the subsequent couple episodes, yet i don't have a lot wish of that. that is like they tried to make a stay-action kin guy. or maybe they tried to combine best chum McBeal and Archie Bunker (from "All interior the kin") and wrap it up in a Jerry Seinfeld shell. that is like a Fish Taco i tried in San Diego. It appears like a sturdy theory, although the flavors do not meld and could develop right into a chilly, soggy mess. Fish Taco, now there is an apt analogy for Silverman's comedy. She could stick with blowing Jimmy.

I watched it last week. There were a few chuckles, but mostly it was dumb. Her humor is as one-dimensional as her character. Frankly, I'd like them to continue the show without her, and focus on the Romantic Comedy aspect of her sister and the cop. The gay guys were ridiculus characters, although the acting was okay.

There were some slightly, slightly endearing moments, but the off-color humor that was meant to make fun of racism came across as racist. Maybe it will get better in the next couple episodes, but I don't have much hope of that.

It's like they tried to make a live-action Family Guy. Or maybe they tried to combine Ally McBeal and Archie Bunker (from "All in the Family") and wrap it up in a Jerry Seinfeld shell. It's like a Fish Taco I tried in San Diego. It sounds like a good idea, but the flavors don't meld and turns into a cold, soggy mess.

Fish Taco, now there's an apt analogy for Silverman's comedy. She should stick to blowing Jimmy.

Answer 4

I agree with you - for the most part...

The thing is - it's supposed to be tongue in cheek. She is actually not racist but makes the jokes because she is actually a jew and a flaming liberal... i think...

And it's the fact that we don't know for sure that makes her a really uncomfortable comedienne to listen to.

A friend and I rented her show on video "Jesus is magic" and that one was really vulgar and offensive too. (But oddly very funny at times)

I can't imagine that she really thinks that way other than to make a joke. I wish she would just do some kind of serious work to let us all know where she stands because otherwise I can't imagine people laughing for very long...

I kind of feel the same way about Borat... the jokes are funnier if you assume that it is all self-ridicule... but you never really know why the other audience members are laughing.

Answer 5

The picture of the little boy on the purse is Sarah Silverman's nephew. She said this on The View last week.

Answer 6

I watched it. I was expecting it to be really good, but it just wasn't. However there were a couple of parts that I found absolutely hilarious, enough so that I would watch it again in hopes that it gets better. As far as the racism goes, it wasn't funny, its never funny, and it just isn't needed.

Answer 7

I watched the 1st episode with a good attitude, thinking she was going to be funny. Unfortunately, it sucked. I didn't laugh once, no matter how hard she tried, and I'm with ya about the racism. It was so riduculous at times it felt like an episode of hte Andy Milonakis show, yeah... it was THAT bad. And what makes it even worse, is that I was high... and ANYTHING makes me laugh when I'm stoned.

Answer 8

Sarah Silverman is stupid, racist and unfunny. If she wasn't Jimmy Kimmel's girlfriend, she would never have had a TV show in the first place. I hope it gets cancelled after 13 weeks!!

Answer 9

I tried watching her show and i dont see anything funny about it. It seems like shes trying to hard to get a laugh.

Answer 10

Her in your face attitude doesn't make up for the fact that it just fell flat. Zero laughs. It just couldn't hold my interest at all.
