Sarah Silverman: Someone You Love

Back in the day, Sarah had this incredible ability to catch us off guard with her sharp wit. She would have us in stitches, never knowing what hilarious remark she would come up with next. But now, it's like she's lost her comedic mojo and is stuck on autopilot. It's like watching a rerun of a tired sitcom you've seen a million times before.

You know the jokes before she does... "But there are Nazis", "All Jewish mothers are proud", "I have a gay friend and we might've scissored but not really, or did we, no we didn't". It's just tired and gross, but not gross enough to move into the really offensive (Where comedic gold is mined), it was safe. No effort to push any boundaries, just completely safe and predictable.

Some comedians are funny only in reaction to others, I could imagine her on 8 out 10 cats does countdown, or raising money for leukaemia patients, perhaps if she performed her set for the west-borough baptist's she could eek out a chuckle.

I think many of the low ratings in these reviews are people who don't like her politics, or they are so uptight they don't like shocking, cutting edge, daring comedy.

I love it. Sarah has perfected her timing and she's so funny because she dares to go past safe boring jokes to lines that would fail miserably if delivery was attempted by a less talented comic.

I look forward to her next routine, and will certainly watch everything else I can, just because there are other mainstream comics out there that are just BORING.

Maybe I like the risky comedy that goes a bit over the line, and this sort of critique of society isn't what many people enjoy - but I just can't see how comedy can get much better than this - but everybody is not the same - and I guess these jokes make some people uncomfortable. Too bad for them.

Sarah Silverman kills, in this stand-up special, on HBO!

It's definitely NOT for everyone. It's for the grown-ups in the room. If you're easily offended / triggered / upset, yada, yada, yada, DON"T watch this. If you're a long time fan, you won't be disappointed by this, her latest in her "struggle".

She does some very thought provoking comedy, in front of a live, Boston audience. The audience is positively responsive from start to finish.

As I mentioned earlier, Sarah Silverman is NOT for everyone; her brand of comedy crosses so many lines, that in today's day and age, it's a breath of fresh air for a comic to be truly themselves and not feel threatened by big "CC", Cancel Culture.

Sarah pokes her finger straight into the eye of CC and doesn't look back. Enjoy!

Sarah Silverman is definitely one of my top 5 female comedians of all time, and yes that means she's my fifth favorite female comedian. It's good to finally see her back on stage and long overdue because Louis ck, who has been exiled, should not have more stand-up specials than you filming from his underground hideout of shame. Sarah has a unique style of comedy, she doesn't try to be anyone else but herself. Her stand-up is a raw unfiltered rollercoaster of random thoughts and topics from someone having a manic episode. If you enjoy her style of humor, you'll like this, if not odds are you won't, but in any case it's something to watch to make the time go by.

I can tell you that back in the day, when I'd see her around, she was one of my favorites. I was a kid then though. I remember being super impressed when she was on Star Trek Voyager. Honestly though she kind of fell of the radar for me since the 90s. I didn't even realize she was still around until she hosted the Daily Show. I made it a point to watch all the ones she did and they were great. Took me a little while to get to this, but it was entertaining. She's still pretty good. Not as many laugh out loud moments as I recall from back in the day, nothing so groundbreaking, but the jokes all land and her stage persona is still really likeable. I'd give this a watch if you were ever a fan. 8/10.
