Sarah Silverman: Freak of Nature

Usually I'm against the concept of female comedians. I think they're freaks of nature, like the mutant KFC chickens that are born with six legs. Women can't be funny! Women are meant to laugh at men's jokes and then go back to cooking and cleaning.

How many female comedians can you name who are either heterosexual or thin? I'm not being sexist--I'm just saying it like it is.

Get this: I've recently become interested in a female comedian who is both funny AND attractive. Is that not bizarre, like straight, male fashion designers? She's thin. She's attractive. She is, as far as I know, not lesbian. Is anyone else as amazed as I am?

Sarah Silverman!!! Very funny woman, which--before now--I thought was like an oxymoron. Almost as paradoxical as the billboards that say "CLEAN PUBLIC RESTROOMS."

That was her in 1992. This is a clip of her being interviewed by David Letterman:

She has this very weird, almost demented sense of humor, but it's somehow funny. That's always my favorite type of humor: "almost funny."

Her humour is also insanely racist, sexist, blunt, disgusting, etc. She definitely has her bad moments, but her good moments are pure genius.

I think this is a lesson for me about not judging a book by its gender. Just because a person can make babies does NOT mean they can't be funny.
