The Sarah Silverman Program: Season Three



brilliantly funny
She is brilliantly funny.

But it's important to realize that people who don't agree aren't necessarily suffering from traumatic sensory deprivation experienced as a child. And it's not a given that only smart people love the dirty, filthy and highly inappropriate humor of Sarah Silverman. People from other cultures might find her to be offensive and childish. Not to mention incredibly stupid. Sometimes I watch TV from other countries and think, "Wow, this isn't funny. How can they enjoy this?"

You know, life is weird, and Sarah points that out very effectively.

Just as Good (If Not Better)
Season 3 sees "The Sarah Silverman Program" losing not a single step. This outrageously absurd send-up of the sitcom genre takes well-worn, cliched tropes and turns them on their heads. Examples include; Sarah reviving her childhood imaginary friend (Andy Samberg) who now wants to have sex and do drugs all day, Brian and Steve constructing their own robot "baby" named Breve, Sarah believing she was born a man and wearing her dismembered "member" around her neck like a locket, and the wonderful Maria Bamford (as the punnily named May Kadoody) being elected as mayor but losing her position when her fetish for eating eggs and onions while looking at women's panties is revealed. With a series as bizarrely creative as this one, the tone and humor can be difficult to sustain, but this series seems to defy the odds and continues to be fresh, bold and utterly "ridonkulous".

Awesome comedy. on the edge, a bit rude, but tests your views on issues. laugh out loud ! A home run!
