Sarah Silverman. Funny? Annoying? Both? Neither? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Miles Archer]

She is apparently hosting SNL this week.

I know what I think, but I wanna know what you think. Have at it.

1. Silverman is funny. SNL has sucked for decades. nt

[NYC_SKP]

2. I love her like I love Jeannine Garafalo!

Which is a LOT!

[Throd]

3. She can be simultaneously hilarious and annoying.

[mackerel]

4. SNAP!!!!!!!!

5. ^^^this^^^

[Betty88]

14. +1 on that

[HeiressofBickworth]

6. Who? n/t

[MrMickeysMom]

7. Brilliantly bold...

She is a comedic activist in the MOST provocative and productive way possible.

I loved it when she was last on Bill Maher.

[OriginalGeek]

8. Funny, smart, fearless and beautiful

I love everything about her.

19. She and Kimmel were a couple for years. Then they broke up and he got married in fairly short

order. She was a cast member/writer at SNL for one season twenty years ago. She was fired--maybe she'll mention that.

11. Extremely funny.

12. Funny??

I've seen her plenty of times and I've tried to like her, I really have, but I find her terribly annoying.

Maybe she reminds me too much of the smugly sarcastic little twits I knew back in grades 7 through 12.

[dr.strangelove]

13. Smart, talented, funny, sexy

What else could you want in an entertainer. She is one of my favorites.

[CanSocDem]

15. I had to look...

...and after a trip to Youtube, I found her to be funny, wickedly intelligent and very edgy. Like a modern-day Lenny Bruce.

17. "I want to have an abortion...

but my boyfriend and I are having trouble conceiving."

16. hilarious

18. She is FEARLESS. She can make people VERY uncomfortable. She doesn't choose safe targets.

She will cut right to the heart of an issue, be it racism, sexism, whatever. She has a definite and individual voice--she's not at all derivative.

She's a comedian, but she's not always "ha-ha" funny. Sometimes, her stuff is excruciatingly painful, like a slap to the face.

She's extremely intelligent. She's never boring.

Some people can't deal with her commentary; she doesn't sugar-coat anything. Her topics are not appropriate for young children, pretty much ever.

You have to be in a mood to hear what she has to say, because, as I've said, her stuff is tough.

[Arugula Latte]

25. Good analysis.

Sometimes I'm just not in the mood for her, although I do admire her fearlessness overall.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. Meh.

Maybe I'm just not big on comics who go out of their way to be edgy, and that's how I see her.

[OriginalGeek]

21. I don't think at all that she goes out of her way to be edgy.

I think she is just plain honest and honesty is where the edge is.

I think the things she says are important.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

22. That's the exact definition of being edgy.

Which if that's your thing, fine. Enjoy it all you want.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

[OriginalGeek]

23. Well, I didn't say she wasn't edgy

I just said I don't think she goes out of her way. She lives there. And it's brilliant. To me, of course.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

24. Brilliantly Funny with a Touch of Annoying on the side for Good Measure.

SNL is wise to have her since they are in a rebuilding stage and need all the help they can get.

[randr]

26. In its hayday SNL was fertile ground for up and coming talent

I am glad to see they are reaching out to the wide world in search of new talent that has risen through the growth of other networks.

[Renew Deal]

27. I love her

She's very funny.

[Skittles]

28. very talented

[David_Copperfield]

29. Terrible, unfunny, and somewhat of an airhead

She's really bad. I only recently realized she had dated Kimmel and thought my God, what a pair, him, the two-faced sarcastic yet at same time teacher kiss-ass from everyone's grade 7 class and her, the girl who sat in front of him who tried desperately to get some of the attention for herself but just couldn't pull it off and that's what she still is, nothing more than a ditz from grade school, STILL telling the same lame jokes and trying oh so hard to be funny but just isn't. And anyone who likes her? Well, they're just the same knobs that thought people like her were funny back in grade 7 also, the uncreative masses that mistake audaciousness for talent.

[cyberswede]

30. When do we get to see your stand-up routine?

But seriously, it's possible not to care for SS without insulting people who do like her.

[GP6971]

31. So I'm guessing you don't like

Kimmel either. Neither do I, but a pretty disrepectivle first post.....disrepectivle to DU. Learn to tone it down.
