Lisa Lampanelli special on Comedy Central - VIDEO

by Adam Finley, posted Jan 21st 2007 5:02PM

lisa lampanelliIf you feel today's stand-up comedy scene is sorely lacking in references to having sex with black men, then switch on Comedy Central January 28 at 10pm for Lisa Lampanelli: Dirty Girl. Lampanelli is an "insult comedian" who follows the same basic code as Carlos Mencia: you can make fun as long as you attack everyone equally. I actually like her more than Mencia, though, and her appearances on the Comedy Central Roasts prove she can get down and dirty with the fellas just fine. She's already appeared on just about every comedy showcase on Comedy Central and is one of few white comedians to have appeared on Comic View on BET. Before she became a comedian, she was a writer for Rolling Stone and Spy.

Below is her segment from the William Shatner Roast. It's edited for TV, but still might not be safe for work.

I find this 'woman' very obnoxious, disgusting and overwhelmingly putrid. I DON'T WANT TO IMAGINE HER HAVING ANY kind of relation, especially sexually. I would rather cut out my own eyes with infectious redwood bark.

She supposedly makes more people laugh, probably because they feel sorry for the handicapped. She does indeed say similar stereotypical things as Rock and Chapelle, but they aren't downright mean spirited about it.

If I wanted to see people be harassed in the same manner i would go back to grade school.

The moral of the story is fat depressed ugly white women (with poor fashion sense, I would recommend a mu mu in her case) shouldn't have comedy shows with the likes of good comedians like Gaffigan and Martin. Those guys aren't obscene and cruel, yet they are hilarious.

THINGS LIKE THIS DOES NOT ADD UP

We saw her live at the Jeff Foxworthy Roast. A friend was getting people to fill seats for that thing and we volunteered. Everyone that night was off and boring except Lisa Lampanelli. She was extremely crude but she had the crowd laughing more than any other comedian that night.

Lisa's no more racist that Chris Rock, Damon Wayans, Dave Chapaelle....

Oh wait. She's white. That makes it a bad thing.

Christ I wish people would remove the sticks from their asses. She plays off stereotypes.

What ever happened to defining someone by their actions and not their words? Why do we have to be so uptight that we can't laugh at the stereotypes that are out there. When we don't talk about stuff and laugh at it, that's when it becomes wrong.

And stereotypes don't just magically appear.

She was funny the first few times I saw her but it's the same material. Every time. I've heard the same stuff on morning shows, Leno & her special. I'll watch until she starts repeating herself.
