Funny lady Wanda Sykes tried out some edgy material at the press dinner this weekend. Some of it worked, some of it didn’t. Meghan McCain didn’t like any of it.
What do you think?

I don’t like roasts… they bother me for some reason. And it’s not because I like the person being roasted (not really an obama fan), it’s just like the jokes never seem that funny. Eh. Maybe I’m just uptight.
Yes, you’re uptight.
Kevin, I’ll knife you.
Do you ever watch the Roasts on Comedy Central? Those are pee-your-pants funny.
I always watch them and I never think they’re funny! I try, I really try, I keep going back to try again. But the jokes are just like not funny to me… I dunno I prefer comedians like Demetri Martin, Mitch Hedberg, Steven Wright, etc.
Well a lot of it is really referential humor, so if you haven’t followed the career of the person being roasted you’re not going to understand most of the jokes.
That’s not even it! I understand the jokes completely. They just don’t make me laugh. And the comedians always talk in that annoying “I think i’m funny voice”…
Mitch Hedberg is THE SHIT :)
I think some of the roasts are funny…. like my idol, Bea Arthur, during the Pam Anderson roast? Awesomeness.
“I bought a seven dollar pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring.”
“I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.”
“When you buy a box of Ritz crackers, on the back of the box, they have all these suggestions as to what to put on top of the Ritz. “Try it with turkey and cheese. Try it with peanut butter.” But I like crackers man, that’s why I bought it, ’cause I like crackers! I don’t see a suggestion to put a Ritz on top of a Ritz. I didn’t buy them because they’re little edible plates! You’ve got no faith in the product itself.”
Not all her jokes were winners. But oh hell, that Sarah Palin Pull out/Abstinence Joke was hilarious. I will be “telling that one tomorrow.”
I love Wanda, But I agree- Some of them missed. But a lot of them were spot on.
I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH MY SCIENCE TEACHER SOOOOO BAD!!!!!!
Oh, that feels soo good to get off my chest. Thank you anonymous blogging website.
Just to be clear, I put that comment here b/c she’s talked about teachers being overpaid and stuff.
haha Mercedes. When I was in high school, I wanted to have sex with my teacher sooooooo badly. Best thing was– he was my religion teacher. Thank you Catholic schooling.
I have the hottest painting instructor EVER.
ugh, lucky. Art teacher? Maybe go for it. They seem to be the easiest prey. :) I had no hot teachers this semester, so I was forced to become obsessed with a normal looking dude.
Man I love teachers.
