Ms.Huxtable Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I recorded her HBO special but couldn't make it through 15 minutes. It was horrible. All she did was insult people based on their race. a) It wasn't anything I haven't heard before and how can you be an accomplished comedian in this day and age just blurting out racial slurs? That type of comedy must appeal to people, but not me. I was offended and unimpressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I find her comedy cringe-worthy, but not in a Don Rickles kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 It was all really cheap humour. Like, if you're going to be funny, you need to have something funny to say rather than just spew out racist comments for laughs. That's all it was.... i laughed at first but then quickly realized that this was her entire act.fat bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 did she use the term 'fag' as a negative connotation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I got past the racial slurs, though it was frustrating to have to.Her humour isn't making fun pf people based on their race, it seemed to me to be making fun of not only the slurs and stereotypes themselves but our reactions and sensitivities surrounding them.Too bad she didn't do it in a more clever way. If it wasn't a waste of time for the playing on our society's racism ot was a waste of time because she wasn't really all that funny about it.Loads of potential with that approach to humour. few people can actualize it.I'm kind of glad that it rarely happens.It'd be amazing if an Italian American wwould ever be able to pull it off, cause that goomba sure couldn't.

phishtaper Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 i enjoy her humour a lot. for sure, a lot of it is that she says things that most people dare not even think let alone say. she pushes buttons. a live show is very different than seeing five minutes on video.

bouche Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I think beats spent the time to type out exactly what I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
