Your favorite "comedienne"

--- Quote from: Ozymandias on 22 Aug 2007, 14:03 ---I don't like Sarah Silverman, but there's plenty of female comedians I've enjoyed.
There's one whose name I really, really wish I hadn't forgot, but she had a Comedy Central special where she actually spent 5 minutes talking about Final Fantasy Legend. It was the most obscure video game reference I had ever witnessed on TV and I was in love.
--- End quote ---
That's Jackie Kashian! I heart her. (BTW, is it bad that I immediately knew who you were talking about? I love that CCP special.
("I am a grown woman, and I need to shoot sh*t. It's best that it be done fictionally.")
At the risk of being shunned by everyone here, I'm a huge Janeane Garofalo fan. I recently saw her perform live this past March (the second time I've seen her live; the first was five years ago) and thought she was still very funny.
I like Tina Fey a lot. And Amy Poehler, Amy Sedaris, Lizz Winstead, Elvira Kurt, Maria Bamford, and a few others whose names, at the risk of sounding like Alberto Gonzales, I can't recall.
Also, Sarah Silverman is kind of pretty (if nothing else, her hair is beautiful and I wish I had black hair--I have it dyed but I wish it were naturally black), but she's not funny to me at all.

Oh my gosh! How could I forget about Amy Sedaris?? I absolutely love her. She is great,
bryanthelion:
Amy Sedaris is cool too

Kathleen Madigan is a good female staundup comic. Adele Givens is a funny female comic. Sue Murphy is a funny female comic. Retta is a funny female comic. Jackie Kashian is a funny female comic. Maria Bamford is a funny female comic.
Sarah Silverman is not funny. Sarah Silverman's standup is mediocre at best and her show makes me weep for cable television. Saying things that are either absurd or "pushing the envelope" in a precocious baby voice just doesn't strike me as being all that entertaining. She is successful because she is cute, but let's be honest. How hard is it to be cute if your profession is female comedian? You're up against Roseanne and Joan Rivers.
And to those who mentioned Jackie Kasian before me, what about her talking about war reinactment nerds? That made me absolutely howl. "Jackie Kashian puts out for pelts"

I must admit that I laughed way too hard at the episode with the queefing ghost, but other than that I agree with the majority on this one. Especially since I know a woman who's equally filthy, five times as beautiful, and infinitely funnier. Kate Mulligan...everything Sarah Silverman thinks she is and more.
But since none of you know Kate Mulligan, everything I've just said is basically meaningless.
