The Couchpotatoes Sarah Silverman is known for a sarcastic sense of humor so if you don't like sarcasm at the highest level you should not even start watching this show. That's what I don't get about the negative reviewers on here. What did you expect? A lighthearted piece of stand-up-comedy? You know it's not going to be that so why do you even bother? I'm a big fan of that kind of humor, the just on the edge humor, humor that makes people feel bad but you know it's just a joke so you do enjoy it. Sarcasm is just not for everybody, some people are just too limited to understand that. You should be able to laugh at anything, as long as you don't hurt somebody specifically. I didn't really mind about the singing and the other off stage scenarios though, to me that was not the best part of the show. The best part is Sarah Silverman standing on stage, beginning a story, pausing, and then the bad punt comes out. You wonder what it will be, you expect it, you know it will be bad, and then you get it in your face and that's the fun part. I read someone said that he wondered if he could laugh with her jokes if she was not good looking. That's utterly stupid. Humor has nothing to do with how you look. If the hunchback of Notre-Dame would be funny I'd still laugh, it doesn't matter. But Sarah Silverman is a hottie and that's just a bonus.

gavin6942 Narrative digressions on sex, race, politics, and more from comedienne Sarah Silverman.I love Sarah Silverman. I love her jokes, her songs, her face. So it saddens me that this is supposed to be her big break for a DVD. Even with Liam Lynch directing and helping write the song, it just never excels.Some really good material appears on this movie -- some of her best jokes, and at least one really good song ("You're Gonna Die Soon"). But there is a lot of filler. The backstage scenes are not funny and serve little purpose, the opening and closing really are not funny, and the closing song is mildly amusing but more childish than clever. Worst of all, twenty minutes of jokes are stretched to 45 minutes due to a lot of pauses and silences. What we hear is great, but we have to wait too long to hear it. Cutting the video down in time, or adding more jokes would really have done wonders as far as keeping me laughing.But there is hope. She has her own show now, which is doing well, and has one of the most memorable scenes from "The Aristocrats". So Sarah Silverman is just getting started, I think. Her next DVD, should there be one, will likely blow us all away.

lastliberal First, I have always been attracted to Sarah Silverman. I cannot explain it, but there is something about her that just lights me up. I really looked forward to seeing this movie.Having said that, I cannot understand her humor or this movie.It just wasn't funny. Simple as that. Jokes at the expense of others are cruel and do not make me laugh. I really believe that Sarah could be a great comedienne if she focused on political humor and used her capabilities to expose the injustices in the world, rather than spew racist crap that just isn't funny.Racial jokes aren't funny. Fart jokes aren't funny.Sarah, you coulda been a contenda!

gcd1707 Whether one likes this movie largely depends on which camp one falls into--the "I get she's sending up all the stereotypes by using them" camp or the "she's just another stereotype comic" camp. Rest assured, she is indeed engaging in satire, but at the same time one can't help but feel that this nonetheless reinforces stereotypes as much as it deconstructs them.More to the point, she's only sporadically funny. When she hits on something, it's great, but otherwise it's a lot of her poking fun at the naive pretty girl image while innocently unleashing something wickedly taboo. It's a clever act, but it's also blatantly obvious and wears thin after not too long.Jesus is Magic is a decent film and to a large extent what one gets out of it depends on how one appraises the originality and impact of her style. Once one gets past the controversy, though, Sarah Silverman is largely hit or miss.
