My wife used to be a big fan of Silverman until we saw her in a comedy show in Houston and all she did was try to provoke the crowd. It was one of the most awkward things I've ever seen. She had no jokes. It wasn't clever. All she did was call everyone dumb and rednecks and tried to be super edgy, like joking how she wished she could have an abortion every week.

Women aren't funny. It's just science.

I'm only joking a little. Women aren't good at comedy. Men aren't good at lactating. We all have our gifts. Women don't understand humor, so they go for shock value or gross out comedy. You aren't really laughing at something funny they said, you are laughing because it's so shocking to hear a woman say things like that. If a man was up there saying those things, it wouldn't be funny, just gross.
