More words: I don't know if Silverman is the deepest or most profound comic out there, but when she makes me laugh its cathartic; her story about her sisters little "accident" in college *is* so great I want to rate this higher. Some little sections lag though, and I only chuckled through her life/death story. On the other hand, there's never a moment Silverman isn't charming in some way, which works to her advantage when she tells the filthiest and/or most (self) deprecating anecdotes. She knows how to construct jokes and reel an audience in first, and be a provocateur second (the opposite of the recent Schumer Leather special). This year, once you've gotten through Louis CK and Chappelle, I imagine this will come a good 3rd or in the top five of sharpest, silliest, dirtiest and (at key times) insightful comedy specials.
