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.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Sarah used to be one of the top 4 comedians, PERIOD. Now, I wouldn't put her in the top ten of she/hers. Comedy is supposed to have a revolutionary element to it. Joe Biden would approve of every single joke in this. There is nothing counter culture in this entire special. "Nazi's are bad!" Wow really pushing the boundaries there 🙄 talking about flicking your own bean? Never heard that, at an open mic. The only thing more dried up and squandered than Sarah's career, is her ovaries at this point.

The girl who wasn't afraid to do black face, (because it was hilarious) is long gone, and she will be greatly missed.....

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.

I love stand up comedies, i didn't knew Sarah Silverman. This is probably the worst stand up comedy i have watched. It's not bad though. She is definitely smart and funny and this tv special was not boring at all. This was funny., just not hilarious. I was smiling but i didn't laugh even once. Other reviewers wrote that this is not her best job. She has a good reputation judging from what i read here, however this was not very good. I 'll keep an eye on her, i don't feel that i 've wasted my time because this was enjoyable. If you are a fan of stand up comedy and got plenty of time, maybe you should watch it. For sure, there are far better stand up comedies to watch if you don't have much time to spend.

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.
