I love this. The Hollywood Reporter put together a roundtable of the Emmy nominees for Best Actress in a Comedy Series — Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, Christina Applegate, Jane Krakowski, Mary-Louise Parker, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus — and had ‘em rap about thangs. I like this first clip best because it’s mostly Silverman being funny and people complimenting Mary-Louise, but there are two more below that talk about women aging in Hollywood (Poehler’s the youngest at 37) and Christina Applegate’s role in “Married with Children” that I just find fascinating and funny. It’s cool to see these established entertainers talk about their work schedules and struggles and successes and failures.
My only complaint is that Mary-Louise Parker and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are sitting next to each other. Don’t they realize how hard it is to keep my hyphenated names straight? Why not just line them up with Mary Lou Retton and Richard Lewis and Richard Dreyfus and see who can make the most complex name? I vote for Mary Lou-Louise Louis-Lewis. Richard Dreyfus can get bent.

Why are we still pretending Sarah Silverman is funny? Ok i get it. Regular looking cute girl acts like a frat boy. Hahaha. Joke is over guys. Its not funny anymore. No seriously someone send this bitch home or back to the glory hole from wence she came. Time has not been kind to Kelly Bundy either. She should sue her plastic surgeon. She looks like when you take cold mashed potatos out of the fridge and then cover them with cling wrap to put in the micorwave. Her face is about that shiney too. Doesnt Julia Dreyfus have to go tickle Seinfeld and Larry David’s balls for giving her a career that she has bombed like we did the Japs back in WWII?
And Id fuck the other 3 bitchs raw even if it meant I got VD. Well maybe not Amy Pohler. She has yet to be forgiven for being in that dumb as fuck Tina Fey movie. And Id be willing to bet that she does that scary face in mid coitus. Fuck that would scare me. Yea no I take that back. Id let Amy give me head cause I dont have to look at her and she wont get off. Annoying chicks need love but not from me.
And speaking of Tina Fey can we send her out to the glue factory too? Seriously what the fuck has happened to comedy? Bitch puts on librarian glasses and reuses some old George W jokes, sucks Lorne Michaels cock and gets the head writing job at SNL? Seriously? This is funny? I mean its laughable yes, but funny? No its pathetic.
Eloquent.
Yeah, I can’t wait to have BlackToothGrin over to meet my family.
@BlackToothGrin:
Right on!
Matt, please queue the orchestra.
But seriously, I agree with BlackToothGrin. We need to go back to the days of Elaine Boosler, Judy Tenuta, Rita Rudner and Paula Poundstone for some real female comediennes.
@Burnsy, don’t forget about Rosie O’Donnell. That was truly the Golden Age of female comedians.
And speaking of SNL, how could Tina Fey have ever succeeded in the shadow of such epic female cast members as Ellen Cleghorne, Janeane Garafolo, Nora Dun and Melanie Hutsell?
Quick! Get the torches and the pitchforks and let’s storm this Castle of Succestrogen!
Paula Poundstone? Was she Fred Flintstone’s mother-in-law?
Mary-Louise looked kind of bored there. Hot and bored.
Women aren’t funny. End of Story.
@BlackToothGrin – bitches has an “e” in it. Otherwise perfect!
Sarah Silverman is great, her show may suck, but she’s one funny cunt
@HBick: Would my racist jokes be funny too if I was cute? Because that’s her entire shtick. Make tired racist jokes (and other similar “offensive” material) and it’s supposed to be funny because it’s a cute girl rather than fat, bald guy. She even admitted so in some interview (which I won’t bother finding).
Black Tooth Grin got it right. None of these chicks are funny (with slight exception of Amy Poehler). They either had writers or boobs. Chicks like Poehler and Bamford are exceptions to the rule that is: Women aren’t funny.
FemComFlaWa!
I’d be angry too if no one read my shitty forcing me to ramble on in the comments section of a site that actually gets traffic. You suck.
I’d also be angry if I dropped a word in my first post and made myself look like a jackass.
I only wish BTGrin had provided a link to his blog so I could get inside his head a little more.
women have a unique subtle comedy i love.
My only complaint is that Mary-Louise Parker is wearing clothes.
You know who is seriously funny? Lisa Lampanelli. All these broads are getting by on their looks. Lisa Lampanelli was hit by an ugly truck. But dammit if she ain’t funny.
Hey Kelly Bundy, show us your boobs!
Wait…what?
@Lenny: Dammit.
