It is one think to make fun of politicians (beacause let's be honest, they is just so much material out there) but I hate it when the comedian just harps on one side (seriously, Kathy Griffin/Chelsea Handler types the Sarah and Bristol Palin jokes are so 2009).

I agree 100%, either play both sides or don't discuss politics in your skits, because the same ones bashing Bush and other right wing people are the same ones ripping their dick off out of anger when you say obamacare or talk about obama.

To you, everything is too liberal...including conservatives.

No, supporting gay marriage and making fun of Conservatives or anybody that leans halfway to the right is too liberal. He's right, most comedians are like that now.

and so are most actors and musicians. That's not going to stop me from going to movies and listening to music. An artist personal political philosophy is pretty much irrelevant to me, funny is funny and good music is good music. If I'm offended by somebody's particular rant in a stand up act, their album lyrics, or whatever I'll just turn the channel or not buy their product. Typically I try to avoid the artists that feel the need to invoke their politics into their act anyway.

She pretty much was her snarky Roseanne character on stage and it came across very well. However, I think John Goodman was the lynchpin to the success of the tv show. If Goodman was not there to play Dan Connor the show would not have lasted as long as it did.

Also, in regards to Barr, I seiously believe she has mental health issues. Her life was turned upside down in the early 90s when her parents died, her sister/manager sued her, a nasty divorce with Tom Arnold and that poor decision to mock the national anthem at the baseball game.

That's because in the 80's and 90's you actually came up with your own comedy. Now it's turned too political at every angle. Wasn't the case back then.

She's horrible and made a fool of herself on the Apprentice. Really showed her true colors.

To each their own. I think she is great.

That has more to do with you being sexually attracted to her than anything else.

LMAO! That's sick...

As many of us are as well. And why I don't like those people.

Lampineli could be Jay Leno's mother with that chin. And Pelosi's sister with that face.

Ellen is one of the funniest people on the planet. Sarah Silverman, on the other hand, tries to be shocking at times and I think she is just a turnoff from that standpoint. Silverman spends her time alienating people groups and that is just not funny.

The main premise is correct. Women are just not naturally funny.

Thank you!

Shows how much hockey I watch lordstanely. Pics or GTFO. You are a man until proven innocent as far as I am concerned.

Ellen DeGeneres, <- yes
Lisa Lampanelli <- no
, Joan Rivers < - used to be, sometimes hits on some gems
Margaret Cho, < - NOT A CHANCE
Whoopi Goldberg, <- Has her good and bad bits
Roseanne Barr <- HELL NO
Tina Fey? <- Yep
Hell, what about Lucille Ball? <- Usually.

I'd put Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence at the top of the women's list before any of the above though...

All meh and blips in the radar at best. Not sexist just befuddled tbh

I think women are funny, I laugh at Pelosi, Hillarious, Schultz, and a bunch of other liberal nags all the time.
