She might accidentally be funny?

Wanda Sykes?

/shoulda been Chris Rock if he's going for comedy.

 
Control_this [TotalFark] 2009-02-12 09:29:11 PM  
It's for her hilarious reality show where she does jobs she's not qualified for.

 
SphericalTime [TotalFark] 2009-02-12 09:31:38 PM  
I like her.

/no, I don't know why either.

 
Diogenes [TotalFark] 2009-02-12 09:42:12 PM  
I can't wait!

Lisa Lampanelli would make it an event for the ages.

This will not end well.

They should have retired this event after Colbert. You can't possibly do it better.

i sense hilarity potential.

what astounds me is that he was booked for it by people who thought he wasn't doing an act, that he was really like that.

Whoever the next Edward Gibbon (^) was, you know he'd dedicate a whole chapter to that event.

They knew it was an act. They thought that if they could poke fun of themselves, they could win over a few people.

You've got to be shiatting me. That talentless biatch is still around?

That, or they should've just had him every year afterwards (not that I think there's a chance of him ever appearing there again.)

The White House Correspondents reaching out to the homosexual community.

 
Prince of Pluto 2009-02-13 12:24:24 AM  
If they wanted someone that abrasive, why not get Gilbert Gottfried? At least he'd be funny.

 
alexcassidy 2009-02-13 12:25:06 AM  
What, Margaret Cho was busy that night?

 
BalugaJoe 2009-02-13 12:32:33 AM  
She's not funny.

 
mfaby 2009-02-13 12:35:34 AM  
Well...pretty much everything.

Any bets that most of her schtick will be ripping on Bush et.al.?

 
Bugs_Bunny_Practiced_Psychological_Warfare 2009-02-13 12:36:59 AM  
I hope she rips the press a new one, especially after all the laughs they gave Bush after he went looking for WMD's that were nowhere in the room.

 
RemyDuron 2009-02-13 12:46:44 AM  
I really hope Lisa Lampanelli does one of these. She's not that funny, but the outrage would be magnificent. Because she's absolutely shameless in an awesome way.

 
cchris_39 2009-02-13 12:53:43 AM  
Even the white half of Obama hates that racist biatch.

Promise.

She's still butthurt about Miley Cyrus stealing her act.

 
HighOnCraic 2009-02-13 12:58:47 AM  
She might announce her wedding with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss?

Extremely abrasive and overbearing personality (atleast in her act and any public appearances)
The obnoxious voice doesnt help.

I thought a biatch was someone that was a female equivalent of an asshole.

You are more describing a female Gilbert Godfrey.

Yep, and a few years back - during a Jimmy Kimmel taping, she pulled the "Don't you know who I am?" card to a bunch of PA's. TOTAL biatch.

 
Clawed Le Mew 2009-02-13 01:04:34 AM  
Damn this is a tough audience. I think she's hilarious.

 
Befuddled 2009-02-13 01:10:38 AM  
One thing I learned about Wanda Sykes which I thought was interesting was she used to work for the NSA.

She was great on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Her exchanges with Larry were priceless. Especially the racist dog. fark, that episode was hilarious.

I would suck the shiat out of Wanda's ass, she so fine.


\Is this another "Bill Hicks is so awesome" thread?

 
Suflig 2009-02-13 01:20:48 AM  
She could tell some stupid black jokes....

I was standing two feet away. She is a biatch, live with it. She was yelling up quite a storm - funny thing is, I had to ask one of them who the hell she was. They found this very amusing. In fact, two of them didn't know either - they were just nodding. Which leads me to believe, if you need to get anywhere in L.A., you can just pull that card and probably get trough if you act like a big enough biatch, or asshole.

I can tell the biatch thing is bothering you. So, yea untalented, horrible coont of a woman. Is that better?

Please no, on both counts.

Hopefully she has some more of this to say when she performs...

Fark: the only place in the world where you can see people collectively insult random celebrities you've never given more than a few seconds thought to. It's like creepy groupthink.

Seriously, Wanda Sykes? She may not be the best but I've never considered her to be horrible.

 
Dwight_Yeast 2009-02-13 01:41:51 AM  
What's the worst thing that could happen?

Joe Biden could kick the shiat out of her in front of the entire gathered body of the White House Correspondents.

 
milowitz 2009-02-13 01:41:59 AM  
I found her to be funny at first but the act grew TIRED really quick. Especially after she was on CYE playing the same fricking character. Oh haha whitey is racist, that's hilarious....again

Seriously, the only place? Never heard of "I hate..." in a bar, or anywhere with people sitting around talking about random crap, huh? Only place in the whole wide world. Wow, well that's good to know.

A ho is someone who farks everybody. A biatch is someone who farks everybody but you.

What does that make your wife? Well, if she isn't already a ho.

What's with the people in this thread saying "She might accidently be funny ga HYUK HYUK!"?

I saw here live a few years ago and laughed my ass off. She was absolutely wonderful. Sure, she's not the BEST comedian ever, but she's quite funny, and I'll definitely watch this to see what transpires.

/sure, they can't ever do better than Colbert did it.
//but trying won't hurt.

Oh, I know. I learned at training camp that everyone finds the same things funny, just like everyone likes the same music, clothing, cars... mates. It's so easy, know what you're supposed to like. I'm obviously wrong, in her not appealing to me. Thanks for clearing that up - I feel like such a tool now.

Wait a minute, there's a glitch.. you obviously don't agree with me. Which means... not everyone, shares the same opinion... SYSTEM OVERLOAD, CAN NOT COMPUTE.
