My mom recommended that I see Jesus is Magic, and then a few days later I read in Heeb (the New Jew Review!) that one of the jokes she tells runs, roughly, "I was licking some jelly off my boyfriend's penis and I suddenly realized, oh my god, I'm turning into my mother". Then I experienced some cognitive dissonance.
I have to admit, I don't really find Silverman that funny. A couple of good jokes, but then its mostly like watching a car wreck in slow motion. Fascinating, but not funny. (I haven't seen the movie, only a few spots of hers on TV.)
Hard to say, Tim. I do have trouble looking away when she's on screen. On the other hand, she deals in precisely the sort of humor I find most appealing: making people squirm.
Don't y'all think Silverman looks a bit too much like an ape? I mean, not-beautiful is fine, but not-beautiful-in-the-direction-of-a-particular-animal, not so great.
Jeebus, ogged. Can you please, please name a gettably attractive woman? Does such a thing exist in your universe? Because at some point, an impossibly high beauty standard is just a cover for teh gay.
What can I say? I've got a thing for hairy ethnic girls. And Weiner, breast implants on man are clearly an indication of some really frightening mother fixation, not teh gay.
Tom, during my last performance evaluation at work, my boss started out by saying that in my self-evaluation I'd previously turned in, "I think you were a little hard on yourself." The not-with-the-out-loud-voice filter didn't kick in until after I'd interrupted him to say, "You said hard-on."
There was about five seconds of really uncomfortable silence before we both started laughing.
It turned out to be a very good evaluation. I knew my boss before I started working there (and he reads my website), so it isn't like he doesn't expect it on some level.
I haven't seen the movie but I saw her live on her Jesus is Magic tour back in 2002. Don't know if she does her bit on where diamonds come from in the movie but that pretty much ruined them for me forever. It was a funny show but she's kind of been recycling the same material for years. I caught a Saturday Night Live rerun with her on it from 2000(?) and it had almost all of the same jokes, including the jelly/turning-into-my-mother one.
I can see the hairy ape thing but that doesn't stop her from being cute. Sheesh, Julia Roberts has a horse mouth and Brittney Spears has cow eyes and I'd date either of them. Well, not Brittney now that she's, how shall I say, reproduced and gotten mommy-weepy-clingy, but you know.
And, obviously, the abstract "is this celebrity hot" standard is very different from the "would you find this person hot in real life" standard, but Sarah Silverman looks like a monkey, dammit.
We all look like monkeys, Ogged, what with being just one branch over on the developmental tree. Tangentially, is "banana-in-hand monkeys" some sort of traditional Iranian expression?
I just don't understand who you might possibly find attractive. Silverman's no Great Beauty, but in the normal world, she tends towards the warmer end of the scale.
This is terrible. I don't want to be that jackass who finds fault with otherwise lovely women, so he can pretend that he's some kind of connoisseur of women. Can we find some plain-looking but attractive women about whom we can all agree?
Hey, not everyone has read the site from the beginning of time. Note to newbies: I was engaged to a nice Jewish girl, who, somehow, didn't look like a monkey. Carry on, zoo boys.
I would mention, as bright candidates on whom we can all agree, our own occasional far-flung commenters, Sue and Catherine, but their looks far surpass "plain" in attractiveness.
I can't see how this turns into anything but a list of women and the animals they (supposedly) most closely resemble. Doesn't seem all that worthwhile.
What, this isn't one of those threads where ogged says he doesn't like something that is obviously intrinsically likable and the whole community chips in to explain at a rate of four comments / minute why Likable Things are Likable?
Why is Susan going to kill me? Before she left the country for a more authentic swarthy male experience, I was trying to steal her away from her ape-loving boyfriend, remember?
Damn apostropher, trying to jump my claim. Even before SCMT mentioned the Muppets, I had been thinking of saying that my freshman year, all the jockish guys on the hall had been calling my "Foz" for a couple of weeks before I asked someone why and was told, "It's because you look exactly like Fozzie Bear."
If The Muppet Babies are canon, there's Skeeter, but that's probably not satisfying. We'd have to go to Sesame Street for Prairie Dawn and Snuffy's sister Alice. I'm assuming speechless muppets (e.g. Camilla) and cameo muppets (e.g. Meryl Sheep) don't count.
I'd have to conclude that the female muppet situation is pretty dire.
The most disturbing thing I ever saw on the Muppet Show? Gonzo, slowly circling Big Bird (who was a guest) and finally deciding: "Statuesque, but definitely poultry!"
(The quoted phrase is now the canonical description, within my family, of Dr. Oops or any other attractive woman of her height.)
And apo? My firm's netnanny software blocked that link. What was it -- muppet porn?
Sorry, by Muppets I meant Muppet Show muppets. Modern Sesame street is certainly pretty gender balanced.
(My kids never got all that much into Sesame Street. It's changed a lot since the Seventies -- I have the strong impression that it isn't nearly as clever. )
Sorry I missed the party yesterday - I was retrieving Sprog from college - but I'm suprised nobody mentioned that hot simian in the Planet of the Apes remake. Now c'mon, she looked like a monkey on purpose and she was HOT!
And, like apo, I too was born in the year of the monkey so I think that proves the point about monkey superiority.
My mom recommended that I see Jesus is Magic, and then a few days later I read in Heeb (the New Jew Review!) that one of the jokes she tells runs, roughly, "I was licking some jelly off my boyfriend's penis and I suddenly realized, oh my god, I'm turning into my mother".

Sorry I missed the party yesterday - I was retrieving Sprog from college - but I'm suprised nobody mentioned that hot simian in the Planet of the Apes remake. Now c'mon, she looked like a monkey on purpose and she was HOT!
And, like apo, I too was born in the year of the monkey so I think that proves the point about monkey superiority.
