Sarah Silverman

Sarah recently gave an interview on the Adam Carolla Show promoting her new show on Comedy Central. The cast was lavishing praise on her and touting her as "The female Bill Hicks". What a load of shit. Sarah Silverman is a talentless hack. She is not funny. She seems nice enough and i'm sure she's a decent person, but she's not funny or clever. I know Adam's relationship with Jimmy Kimmel may have been the accelerant, but I have another theory:

She's hot.

That's it. No one expects hot girls to be funny, so when she makes a fart joke or says something dirty, everyone giggles. Its the same reason Jenny McCarthy was considered controversial for sitting on the toilet in the Candies advertisement. Swap her out for Sarah Vowell (who is funny) and the controversy is over. No one cares except people that listen to NPR and have a toilet fetish.

Hot chicks being famous for being hot is nothing new and I am all for celebrating beauty, but let's not let the fact that they're attractive allow us to believe they are funny or witty. They don't need to be funny to get attention, so most of them don't bother developing a sense of humor. This is not to say that hot girls aren't ever funny, but Silverman seems to fall into the same category as Carlos Mencia. They "will say anything and they so crazy!". They not crazy. They not funny. They suck.
