Sarah Silverman: PostMortem

This is so unfunny and ordinary - I say things like this in casual conversations with friends, and we just smile slightly.

This is considered stand-up material?

And worth putting on a streaming platform?

It's unfunny, bland, weak, bad, boring, bland.

There's really nothing more to say, so I'll just copy this again to reach the required character count.

I'm guessing the low-star reviews are due to people who cannot relate (so I guess "congratulations" to them). As someone who sat with my father (and best friend) in his final days and have lost more folks than I care to name, this was funny, heart-warming and hit all those spots that someone who has experienced the loss of parent(s) needs. Maybe this isn't the raw sort of show we've come to expect from Sarah but it is pretty damn impressive that she's "laughing while orphaned" a state few people can find in the same situation. In my opinion this was exactly the show I hoped it would be and I definitely shed some happy tears during the final credits.

I really love Sarah's comedy. I've watched everything she's ever done except for the second half of this special. I feel like she made this primarily for herself and would be more appropriate as a conversation with friends and family who knew her parents. Maybe even as therapy. It just wasn't very funny. There were a few laughs obviously but as a whole it was clear that she was working some stuff out. The worst part is that I was really excited to watch the new Sarah Silverman special. I think I'll rewatch one of her older ones tonight. I hope it's not too long before she gets back to the sort of routines that her fans love her for.

I watched about half of her show so far due to limitations of my own but so far I love it Silverman is someone who I really didn't think was that funny and I'm talking about you know 30 years ago OK when I go back and look at her stuff even 20 years ago I find that she actually is quite funny quite good at what she does unique in her delivery and reading these negative comments about her Flips me out. Who are you people? I'm glad you don't like Sarah Silverman put your red hats on and go away.

So now I write to fulfill a technicality on this site I love Sarah and believe that her humor and delivery are funny and funnier each time her humor is intelligent maybe some of you that so clearly dislike her should just crawl off and away from the rest of us with the lack of females in comedy and late night etc we need her voice now more than ever.

I generally enjoy Sara Silverman's comedy, i find it smart and creative, she is a great storyteller. This specific piece is very honest and a very well narrated story about her personal journey with her parents, at some points it gets sad and depressing, but she is a mature comic that teaches us that you can always find a silver lining on every situation.

Maybe the problem is that this material is the kind you expect to hear on a comedy special, and you start watching thinking about a great time with a witty comic, but after a few minutes you realise that it is quite dense, not very funny. It does not mean it is a bad special, i would just suggest to be aware that this is not the kind of show you want to watch if you want a big laugh.
