Oct 20 2008Sarah Silverman booed off stage in London
Sarah Silverman gave her UK stand-up debut over the weekend and proceeded to have her ass booed offstage after only giving a 40-minute performance. Organizers attempted to force Sarah to give a Q&A session which she reluctantly agreed to before bolting, according to BBC News:
After the audience refused to leave, Silverman was forced to give a Q&A session as an encore after admitting she had no other material prepared. Unimpressed fans shouted "you're over-hyped Sarah" and "I've seen longer clips on YouTube", before the star told the audience to "go home" and then left the stage.
BBC Radio 1 reporter Kev Geoghegan, who was also at the gig, said Silverman looked "clearly mystified" as to why she had to return to the stage after her short set.
"A lot of people who paid £45 a ticket would have been aggrieved," he told the BBC News website. "For a gig that size of 3,600 people and a first night in London to show people what all the fuss in America is about her, she could've done more - she should have been able to fill for another 20 minutes."
Wait. There's fuss about Sarah Silverman in America? Ahahahahahaha! But, no, seriously, we'll trade her for that hot chick who does the Orbit gum commercials. Act now and we'll throw in Andy Dick.
NOTE: Probably should've asked this first: English people still drink a lot, right?

Yes, the London audiences that continue to pay to see Amy Winehouse have excellent taste.
2. AndresV - October 20, 2008 4:18 PM
I used to think she was funny 10 years ago....she's just stupid and mean now....I'm glad the fans are starting to realize this.

YAY!
Sarah SUCKS!
Britney ROCKS!

I never really got why she was funny. I guess they do to.
5. Mia - October 20, 2008 4:28 PM
She can be funny but unfortunately she gets lazy and tries to rely on toliet humor.

oh yes, the Orbit gum commercial chick. Why'd you have to bring her up? Boy I want to fuck her ass so bad. Soil her reputation with a dick in her butt. "Fabulous!" On the other hand I would be literally terrified to fuck Sarah Silverman up the ass. She'd probably crap on my dick just so she could laugh about it on tv later. She's a nice person though. Really. She has good teeth, that's why the Brits don't like her.

If she lost 30 pounds and developed oozing sores all over her face, they'd love her.
11. CaptainMorgan - October 20, 2008 4:43 PM
I'm surprised she didn't claim there was a language barrier. She wasn't in America...do they speak english outside of America?
12. Peach - October 20, 2008 4:47 PM
BBC Radio 1 d.j. Chris Moyles was there and said that when she came back out a man in the audience asked her to sing one of her songs but she didn't know the words and had to be prompted when she tried to sing it... by the audience!
The thing is people here do like and get her, which is why they paid the money (more or less $77). We do, however, expect more than a pathetic 40 minutes for our money.
13. Cream - October 20, 2008 4:55 PM

If Obama wins, I say we get together a posse and gang-rape the shit outta her.
17. bbingo - October 20, 2008 5:17 PM
for a nation that gave the world cynicism, the monty pythons, eccentricity and sarcasm, Sarah should thank her PR guys for pulling this crowd. Her humor is so stupid and passé she makes pub quizzes look like a fun night out.
18. NY Ted - October 20, 2008 5:20 PM
Funny...??? Crazy Limey bastards...you can hoodwink them into paying for anything American. I find Silverman about as funny has having 10 root canals without freezing before they put you into the electric chair to fry your ass to hell!

You know, John has an excuse, he can't help it - it's a common condition for people his age. But the rest of you McCain supporters need to stop wetting your pants. We'll have an election. It'll be America before the election. It'll be America after the election. We've done this many times and the world has never ended. Now, as the British would say, go get a nice hug from Mum and you'll feel lots better.

Since when did Yanks know anything about humour...they can't even spell the fucking word.
24. fuhgettabowdit - October 20, 2008 5:47 PM
I guess cursing and saying stupid things doesn't pass for humor in the rest of the world. I'm sure there are still a few retards in America who will pay to see an ugly woman stand on stage and say a few crude things. I wouldn't really consider her routine to be bathroom or toilets humor, because her "jokes" aren't humorous at all.
25. Uncle Sam - October 20, 2008 5:48 PM
If you spent less time putting unnecessary u's into words you'd have more time to brush your teeth.
26. Cynthia - October 20, 2008 6:08 PM
She's one of the most untalented semi-celebrities out there. She's gotten to the middle by sucking a LOT of cock. Her routines go something like this: "Blacks are lazy. Hispanics don't bathe. Jews love money. I lick jelly off my boyfriend's penis. I was raped by (fill in the blank). I fuck (fill in the blank). I poop. I fart. I'm a cute girl". Hilarious, right? Wrong! Read any article about her or any interview she's done and it's obvious that she's mentally ill. Mentally ill and very, very unfunny.
27. Deacon Jones - October 20, 2008 6:11 PM
I must admit I am a self-loathing Jew. In fact, I love Sarah Silverman, and unlike all other Jewish People I've heard about, I have a tiny penis. I'm sorry for making a prejudiced, bigoted remark such as the one I did before. May Sarah Silverman shart in my mouth and may I love every peanut/corn kernel splattering second of it. Did I mention I practically have no penis at all and love watching white power nazi's screw each other vigorously in each other's bumholes?? Yep, the Deacon is gayer than Richard Simmons. Btw, anyone have a scone I could choke to death on, G-D knows I surely deserve a righteous beatdown.

Sorry about the Sarah Silverman thing, but we owed you for the Russell Brand VMA show. can we just call it even and get back to drinking?
30. Janeane The Acerbic Goblin - October 20, 2008 6:28 PM
She's not particularly funny. Her shock value has worn off rather quickly.
I think most of her male fans just want to f*** her. They're not there because of her sparkling wit and superior intelligence.

The simplified language you dipshits use is called American English. English speakers owned your asses for a long time. None of you americans have a proper identity and that's why you spend most of your time trying to rule the rest of the world.
If you think the English language sucks, make up your own. Don't just continue to speak ours whilst bastardizing it by cutting out letters because too many of them together gets you all confusikins.
38. Jamie's Uterus - October 20, 2008 7:02 PM
There is no fuss over this unfunny loser. Or should I say Aunt Mitzi? She looks like an old Yenta.
39. Chauncey Gardner - October 20, 2008 7:16 PM
#38,
Uh, I hate to tell you this in the middle of your anti-American tirade, but the English spoken in England is continually being bastardized by the English. In fact, all an English person has to do is go to another part of England and he/she may not even understand what the other person is saying because of the accent and colloquialisms. And let's not even get into fucking Scotland...

if this was the time before the middle ages you would have a point but as it is you can go to any part of the UK and we all speak the same language, spell the words the same and understand each other.
If you don't then that's down to you and you should stop watching anything with British accents in it and never come here.
My god you Yanks had to subtitle Oasis.
Just how poor is your grasp of English.
42. Alexandra - October 20, 2008 9:00 PM
Wow, the British actually realize Sarah Silverman is not funny. I'm moving to London ASAP
43. Spector - October 20, 2008 9:23 PM
Isn't the point the set was too short and she was poorly prepared for a 3,600 seat show? Fuck her, people want to be entertained for their money.
44. venomhed - October 20, 2008 9:32 PM
RIGHT ON!
She is worthless. Yet another fucking jew that gets in the biz because she is
A. Jewish
B. Knows someone high up in Hollywood.
God she is so unfunny and ugly.

Sarah Silverman funny?
When the hell did that happen?
50. JollyJumJuck - October 21, 2008 12:00 AM
She looks pretty awful in the first picture. Almost as much of a hag as Madonna.
51. British but not English. Possible? - October 21, 2008 12:07 AM
Well considering her one and only joke revolves around "OH MY GAWW I'M LIKE JEWISH HARHARR" and there are a total of 3 jewish people in the whole of UK, the UK doesn't 'get' her so-called jokes and we not find her funny, at all. No. Talking about sex is not shocking either. Not in the UK anyway..
She can fuck off and take her monotonous droning voice to somewhere that likes bad repetitive unfunny 'jokes'.
I also fail to see how she is hot. She looks about 40 in that photo. And a farmer.
52. hazelbasil - October 21, 2008 12:09 AM
i hate sarah silverman.. i've always hated sarah silverman.. the fact that they even made a venue that fit 3600 people available to her is beyond my understanding. i think she makes jews look bad.. women look bad.. and just overall human beings look bad. she's not funny she's just straight up insulting and rude. and i used to think jimmy kimmel was funny but now i don't know anymore because he must think that silverman's funny/attractive or something since he's been going out with her for so long, so i think his judgement is now totally screwed..
53. Sarah's online career counselor - October 21, 2008 12:44 AM
Sarah needs to take a long hard look at herself and at the whole jew thing. It's obvious people are very fatigued and put off by both. Sarah needs to come up with a whole new line of material, something that's a more suitable match for both her advancing age and her appearance.
I suggest that she take a job as a scrub woman, for research, for finding a bit of humility and gratitude for all that she has attained (or, more jewishly, accumulated) and . . . well . . . because she needs something to fall back on when the show-biz thing finally dies, which by the looks of things is pretty soon.
Sarah, if you're reading this, I just want you to think of this one thing:
when you're working late, when you're the only one in the building, when the boss is no longer anyplace where he can see you, then you can invite the winos in through the back door and pull a train in the furnace room, maybe even make some amateur porn and sell it online, or even star in a Mexican donkey show . . .
Extra cash! $$$ That's kinda jewish isn't it?

Less schleppy. More writey.
56. me - October 21, 2008 3:33 AM
actually Jane, most of Amy Winehouses fans are from America. Almost no-one here likes her. The people that go to the shows simply go to see her make a fool out of herself (I thought that was obvious?) That is the same reason why Pete Doherty is always guaranteed a good turn out at gigs..
Why are Americans attacking Britain because we don't like one of your lamest celebrities? Don't take it personally. We said we didn't like her, not America.
I don't know why some of you are trying to make fun of British accents either. You must know that the British accent is comparable to the American accent, in that, we can tell when someone is British but there are about 100 variations of the British accent. Same with American. Accents such as New York, New Jersey, Texas etc are totally different from eachother and some of the are nice but some sound horrible. In fact some of your accents are widely made fun of, mostly by other Americans, not foreigners. They may all be American accents but the New York American accent is nothing like the Californian American Accent , so shut up.
57. this guy - October 21, 2008 7:35 AM
Really? They booed her for just a 40 minute set? I gotta think she did them a favor. Or at least the Brits would've booed her off for NOT BEING FUNNY!
58. Chauncey Gardner - October 21, 2008 9:24 AM
#41,
Oh, bullshit. I was just traveling in England, and you guys are just as steeped in slang as anybody anybody in America. I mean, where the fuck did the term "brolly" come from? Was it really so hard to say "umbrella"?
59. Egbert - October 21, 2008 11:53 AM
Sarah Silverman was booed because she only did 35 minutes on stage - not exactly great value when audience members have paid £45 ($90) each. I have never seen a staged comedy show run under than 90 minutes in the UK.
I don't know why people are making comparisons with Amy Winehouse as she hasn't toured in ages. The shambolic shows she did over the summer were all festivals with multiple acts on the bill.
Steve Coogan got booed off stage last week too, by the way.
60. Anon - October 21, 2008 12:14 PM
Chauncey why do you spell colour wrong.
Is it so hard to include the "U"
Also your point wasn't about who has more slang but that we can't understand each other.
Try to keep up with your own argument.
Like I said we can understand each other and you guys so the problem lies solely with you.
Again problem is you, not us.
61. Abi McManigan - October 21, 2008 1:13 PM
I hated her as soon as I first saw her.
I'll point out that I am British and maybe having such shit americans invading this lovely land with acts like Paris Hilton is karma for introducing Katie Price and Amy Winehouse to the u.s.a

Actually Chauncey you reminded me of something,
Where the fuck did this term "Yo" come from?
Is it really so hard to say "Hello"?
64. Chauncey Gardner - October 21, 2008 2:25 PM
#63,
Beats me, mate! You'd probably have to ask a negro, or a pirate.
I should probably point out I just got back from two weeks in Southern England (and Paris) visiting English friends, and loved every minute that I was there. I think that must mean I didn't run into YOU. But, you have a lovely country and great people.
65. Anon - October 21, 2008 2:36 PM
Ignoring your insult that's quite a change in attitude.
Btw I'm hoping to do a road trip up america into canada next year.
looking forward to visiting your country.
Hope I don't bump into you. :)
66. Chauncey Gardner - October 21, 2008 3:11 PM
Hahaha! I bear you no genuine ill will, Anon. That's the thing about these message boards - they inspire people to be jerks, I guess because we can get away with it online.
Anyway, if you're doing a road trip through the US and Canada you probably already considered this, but, avoid all the big freeways and interstates when you can. They get you from A to B quickly, but you miss a lot when all you can see are walls of trees on either side of the road.
Hopefully, you plan to drive up the East Coast on US Route 1. It goes all the way from Key West to Maine, and takes you through a lot of really beautiful country, coastal beach towns, and major cities - DC, New York, Boston, etc. It's obviously very different from driving out West on Route 66, but it's one of those classic American journeys, and you'll get a pretty good feel for "Old" America.
It would be great if you could time it to coincide with the changing of the leaves in New England in autumn (I think the peak is now late October/early November). Of course, that means you'll be colder when you get to Canada. But, the Northeast in the fall is tough to beat. I recommend it.
67. Anon - October 21, 2008 3:33 PM
I'm hoping spring.
Was thinking about up through L.A. to Canada but my mate wants to go to a taping of the Colbert report.
Well me too. So it looks like east coast. Would love to see New England and end up in Toronto.
Oh and being Cold isn't an issue.
Going to lapland in a few weeks so that will be cold.
68. Anon - October 21, 2008 3:35 PM
I can't remember of the top off my head if Toronto is on the east side of Canada or near the centre so it could be on the west side in which case toronto's out of the question.
Bloody big country and only have 3 weeks.

Toronto's on the east side of Canada. If you go up through New York, you can go straight to it. And upstate New York is beautiful any time of year.

That is rib-shattering humor people, she can't lower herself to your level any more.
And just imagine, she wins Zira look-alike contests worldwide, without even wearing any makeup. Yes, I will wait here while you google "Zira".
When two cunts try to keep people asking
"Are Zira and Cross-Eyed Fat-Ass still dating???"
"Are Cross-Eyed Fat-Ass and Zira still dating???"
"Are Zira and Cross-Eyed Fat-Ass still dating???"
"Are Cross-Eyed Fat-Ass and Zira still dating???"
you know they've both dried out.
Metaphorically speaking.
