Sarah Silverman: PostMortem

Sarah absolutely jerks you from cute family story to heartfelt, sentimental memories, to deep, dark gallows humor, then randomly hits each note like a bop-it. As someone with a fairly comparable age and story of loss, it hit like a brick, then made me cackle in the darkest of ways. A memorable laugh/cry for sure.

I'm sure it's a miss for some, but I am just personally an absolute bullseye of a target audience on this one. It is pure catharsis. It will challenge what you find funny and you'll probably think it's weird that a stand up comic is making you cry, be it for sympathy or empathy. Enjoy!!

A cringeworthy bomb from a comedian who can and has done SO MUCH better. I was excited to watch it and unfortunately I found myself fast forwarding through most of it. Her pauses to wait for audience applause are painful and terrible "impressions" fall incredibly flat. When a comedian has to laugh at their own jokes to get things moving along, you know you're in for a slow ride. Sarah seems to have lost her spark and natural sense of humour. Save yourself an hour and skip this one...instead try checking out The Sarah Silverman Show. This "special" may end up being the postmortem for her comedy career.

I actually like Sarah Silverman as a comic and feel about my reaction to this comedy special, but it's just not good, no matter how hard I try to find a positive.

Most of the stand-up is about the late loss of her father, with whom she obviously had a great relationship. That being said, this felt more like a eulogy than a stand-up special and a lot of it was quite sad, which is exactly what I hoped to avoid going into a stand-up.

Apart from being sad, there are long build-ups throughout with no punches, and a lot of jokes that feel like "insider" jokes that would have meant more for family or close friends. Overall, it just wasn't a good time.

The live audience was very generous in its laughs and applause.

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.

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.
