Sarah Silverman: Someone You Love

I think Sarah Silverman is very funny and I like her very much. She is smart and insightful and she was on the cutting edge of pushing the boundaries of open sexuality in female comics. She has a great history of very funny and sexy stand up comedy. Her latest stand up special, "Someone You Love" is just not that funny. It has some good commentary on religion, social issues, and politics; however, it is just not as funny as I am used to with Silverman. I would still watch it if you are a fan of hers, and of stand up, in general, but not her best performance, for sure. I felt the best description is "low energy".

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.

After decades of performing stand-up comedy, Sarah Silverman's comedic timing is awesome. She is so intelligent, and this intelligence comes through in the way she crafts and presents her humor.

Yes, it is a presentation for adults and some of her humor and/or language may offend you, but that humor is thought provoking besides being very funny.

I admire her originality and the way she uses the English language. When she said that the title of her memoir will be "My Struggle" and that she can just see the surprised faces of some of the buyers when it is translated into German, she made me laugh out loud.

Rarely, have I enjoyed an hour of stand-up comedy so much. I look forward to seeing her next special.

This special is titled, "Someone you love." Yes, I do.

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.

It had been a while since I made contact with any of Sarah's contents, but I was aware that she became much more political in the recent years while doing her podcast. I was kinda expecting that she would try and emphasize political points in this special... BUT NO, NOT AT ALL! Sarah delivers flawlessly joke after joke in the most inventive, unexpected and refreshingly childish ways; her essence hasn't changed a bit, It's only gotten better... Things are just a little bit different (but in a very good way): Her entire experience and maturity is displayed at all times. I did, in fact, laugh out loud with 80% of the jokes. Her body language has become one of her sharpest and funniest assets. I genuinely felt proud of her for assembling such course of ideas onto this special. I definitely say go for it. Great job, Sarah and her team!
