johnkasdorf-1 Tig Notaro's infamous 2012 stand-up set at Largo proved that cancer, like anything else, can be funny. Yes, it can. Yes, it can. If you disagree, cool. But you're wrong. That's like saying "broccoli doesn't taste good." Maybe not to you, but to someone, broccoli is delicious. Comedy is subjective, and a joke based on any topic or situation, no matter how horrible or distasteful to you, has the potential be funny to someone. Maybe not you. That's fine. But someone. Trying to apply a "cancer isn't funny" rule is preposterous, conceited, and futile.Okay, here's my opinion of the show, if you care. The second season was weaker than the first. Plot lines started to feel splintered and diverged from the main character's story. Common pitfall of many second season shows. I guess this was more of a rebuttal to another reviewer than a straightforward helpful review. Hope it doesn't keep you up at night.Insomnia isn't funny.
benstoy-23109 In the middle of season dos, love this woman to bits. People behind the show include Louis C.K. and Diablo Cody which should give you a clue. The vibe morphs from unspeakable irony to naked ignorance with occasional eruptions of Tim Robbins. Instead of canned laughter, the Buddha guffaws out loud. If Tg Notaro lived nearby, she'd have to get a restraining order to keep me away. Have to laugh, she's the anti-Southern belle...
TequilaMockingbird63 Have you seen ONE MISSISSIPPI? I binged watched the entire season one last night and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. Inspired by comedian Tig Notaro's life it's a smart, intermittently hilarious, well-written comedy (dramedy) that's occasionally a downer with intervals of great deadpan jokes. The show has everything! death, cancer, intestinal disease and a missing cat. I'm a Tig fan and great to see Shira Piven directed episode 6 of season one. Also, the executive producer is Louis C.K.I can't wait for season Two!
rastunas Cancer isn't funny. Being a comedian with cancer doesn't make you funny. Being a female comedian with cancer doesn't make you funny. Being a female lesbian comedian with cancer doesn't make you funny. Cancer isn't funny. Should I remind you that cancer isn't funny?By the way, don't capitalize on your illness, it's gross, should I mention that cancer isn't funny? Humour IS a great way to deal with pain and suffering, but cancer isn't funny.If you can't be funny, don't try to be funny using a crutch (especially cancer). Don't use your predilections and your Illness as a basis for a TV show, it's cheap, disingenuous and it makes you worth far less as performer with an opinion or a point.Oh and in case you forgot somewhere along the way, cancer isn't funny.
