Your favorite "comedienne"

Why is Sarah Silverman so great? Elaborate! Please?

You make your own call. The reason I don't like this (or any of her stand up) is that all she ever does is say really gross or potentially offensive things. I am 100% behind saying gross or offensive things for the sake of comedy. I am not easily offended by any means. If it's clever or funny enough, you can say anything to me and I'll crack up. I don't think she's funny. She rarely turns the gross or offensive things she's saying into actual jokes. All she does is say them out loud. Like it's supposed to be hilarious that a hot girl can get away with saying anything she wants without it having to be funny. It's stupid.

Perhaps you think you are more clever than you actually are.

"Honestly, I don't care if you think I'm racist. As long as you think I'm a thin racist." That's funny, especially the way she says it.

Think nothing, I AM clever. The fact of the matter is, Sarah Silverman, though cute, really isn't particularly funny. Betty put it pretty succinctly, she doesn't tell jokes so much as try to push the envelope just for the sake of pushing it and manages to get by on that in the same manner that Carlos Mencia and Dave Chapelle do. None of them are particularly engaging, original or conventionally funny, they just get by on the "Oh no, you di'eeeeent" factor.
Everything Mencia does, Pablo Francisco does better; everything Chapelle does, Chris Rock does better and everything Silverman does, Janeane Garofalo does better. Fortunately for Mencia, Chapelle and Silverman, none of the three have the vaguest bit of artistic integrity and have no issue with doing this shit that's completely lacking in substance.
Ernest:
I hate Carlos Mencia, so let's just get that straight. I like Chapelle and Silverman.
What do you consider jokes if you don't think what they're doing is telling jokes?
