It's AWESOME. She brought in a homeless person last night and her gay neighbor used karate to defeat him when he went crazy, then she queefed to paralyze him. Then the homeless dude's dead queefing mother ghost queef rocketed into the night sky.

HOW AWESOME IS THAT

Wrong. That would be 30 Rock. Or The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman (which I'm sure your scriptwriting ass would find uproarious, William.)

I must watch this show now because for you to say something so CRAZY like that you must be on four different kinds of crack.

The show is all gross out humor and a lot of it is downright shitty. Silverman is hot, sure, but her schtick is too predictable to make a show out of.

Cheebs · « **Reply #8 on:** February 09, 2007, 05:08:49 PM »

It's funny, sure. But...

AD will go down as one of the greatest American television shows in history, I have a gut feeling Sarah Silverman's show won't.

Narrator: In an effort to "hip" up his act, Gob had briefly introduced a puppet.
[Gob is acting as a black puppet named Franklin in front of the family]
Gob: [as Franklin] Can I tell you something, my man?
Gob: [as himself] Sure, Franklin.
Gob: [as Franklin] You are one cool

Gob: . Speaking of mothers, let me give that oatmeal some brown sugar.
[the puppet 'kisses' Lucille]
George Sr.: Get off my wife, you bastard.
[strangles Franklin]
Gob: [as Franklin] What's the matter with you?
Gob: [in the present] Franklin said some things Whitey wasn't ready to hear.
Michael: Gob, weren't you also mercilessly beaten outside of a club in Torrance for that act?
Gob: He also said some things that African-American-y wasn't ready to hear either.

George Sr.: Soak the puppet's mouth with ether, and have Franklin give Lucille a kiss to knock her out.
Gob: [as Franklin] I ain't kissin' that ol' bitch.
George Sr.: [starts to choke Franklin] That's my wife, you bastard.
Gob: Dad, that's my wrist.

Gob: Hey, that's his neck.

While it warms my heart to see fellow AD fans up in here, if you're not watching 30 Rock, PLEASE do so before it dies an undeservedly early death.

I'm not saying they're similar shows, but as far as amazing comedy is concerned, 30 Rock is the closest to AD I've seen thus far.

No, dude, this is like SNL-style bad. Predictable, sometimes "shocking" non-sequitors and quirks that haven't been quirky in years. Maybe the second episode is better, but this is Mencia bad.

It's filled with non-sequitors, but somehow still manages to be kind of predicatble. The raunch isn't raunchy enough to be funny, and the writing totally lacks any sense of subtlety. I mean, that last part is obviously a choice, but when you're trying to do an in your face vulgar show, you're not going to get to the funny level of raunchy unless you're on cable cable, not basic cable.

What i'm saying is that the comedy provided by jewish starts today is lacking in greatness in comparison to that of Mel Brooks. Who i enjoy a lot. But as of late in the past few years the comedy coming from people like sarah silverman, and milinocus has sucked.

Thats what i meant to say. Granted it didnt come out right.

Christopher · « **Reply #52 on:** February 10, 2007, 12:06:49 AM »

Isn't Willco suppose to have good taste? I thought that was his "thing", good taste in film/television.

Dude I saw this the other day - it was on late while I was bored, it was annoying. It just wasn't funny...it felt like the girl (Sarah) had ADD and it wasn't even funny, witty, or fuck not even entertaining. I think it would have been good if she would seldomly act out of character as ADD sister, but no she does it all the time, it comes across as just generally annoying with the fodder characters having to play off her...and not good either.

Overall, I thought this was a fucking horrible way to start a show, perhaps it will get better. I think it might have worked if she didn't play fucking stupid ADD sister ALL the time.
