neddy, she'll be in So Cal again around summe, in Agoura Hills and then Pasadena
This is my first viewing of a Lampanelli routine, and couldn't be less impressed.
Hanukkah and Kwanzaa insult jokes? Seriously?
Is this 1987?
Oh, Rath.
Watch "Take it Like A Man."
I love how she includes everyone in her routine. No one is safe.
Yes, watch TAKE IT LIKE A MAN. This one blowed.
actually Rath....take it like a man, period. If we can't laugh at ourselves.....then we have serious problems, and you tend to not like most things anyway....
vb, that's the beauty of her...no one IS safe
I think that is what she was going for....I thought she was very funny.
I didn't get to watch Dirty Girl. Is it worth getting the DVD?
"blowed"?
*blew*
Elph, I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't like her - I found her not funny. How does that make me not able to laugh at myself?
Over a year later, and I am FINALLY going to see her live!
November 17 in Durham, NC!!!!!!!! I'm in the third row!
I saw her in Dayton a couple of years ago and I nearly fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard.
If she comes to your town, GET TICKETS, and get tickets in one of the first three rows.
She has the BOMB-ASS 'P*ssy!"
And if you get to a live show, you'll get that.

Lisa Lampanelli is a hack whose function in the comedy circuit is to enable sexist and racist men to feel it's okay to be sexist and racist. And the tired excuse that "she goes after everybody so it's funny!" doesn't change that fact.
Or to look at it another way, she has false consciousness:
false consciousness
n.
In Marxist theory, a failure to recognize the instruments of one's oppression or exploitation as one's own creation, as when members of an oppressed class unwittingly adopt views of the oppressor class.
I DVR'ed her show that was on Comedy Central a few weeks ago. I was not familiar with her, but remembered her name from this post when it first came out. I was shocked at first esp. that it was on TV even late night, but soon found myself laughing out loud and tearing up. I would hate to be up front, it was easy to laugh at, but don't think I could take it.
