Spring Break
Give Kathy Griffin a chance

A little elementary school torment really did them some good.
Conan O'Brien and Louis C.K. are awesome and all - seriously, they're some of my favorite comedians - but there's a little redhead I think the comedy world and the public in general has been ignoring. I'm talking about Kathy Griffin.
Yes, this Kathy Griffin.
To my Christian friends - be nice. I know she isn't nice, but she's just doing her job. Plus, it's a little funny.
Anyway, as I sit here watching her host Bravo's A-List awards, I can't believe she isn't as famous as Jerry Seinfeld or Jim Carrey. Oh, be quiet. Just hear me out.
When I first saw her, I wasn't a fan. I think it's the voice and the hair. The two combined make for a somewhat annoying blend. But she's actually really, really, really, really funny. If you don't mind being a little offended.
And really, what's good comedy if not offensive?
Seinfeld has said that she's one of the greatest comedic geniuses of our time. She doesn't write stand-up material. She writes down topics, usually celebrities, she knows she wants to cover in her show and makes up her jokes off-the-cuff.
That's talent.
What I'm asking is that you (yes, you) give Kathy Griffin a chance. She's awesome and cool and really funny.
So watch her reality show, watch her stand up, listen to her shenanigans and throw up a little support for one of the only female comedians I can tolerate.
Please?

Very good read! I discovered Kathy Griffin's comedy about a year, two years ago and I have watched every one of her specials and her shows since. She is hilarious. (Continued…)

I used to be a HUGE fan of this woman. Then I met the rude bitch face-to-face. What a disappointment! I'm not supporting her ever again.

salvation for all huh? You mean the 1 billion Christians?But not the 1.2 billion Hindus? Or the 1.4 billion Muslims? Or the 50 million Jews? Or the 900 million non-believers? Or the estimated 1000 million Santarians? Or the 1 billion others who believe? in alternative religions? Hmmm? Salvation for the very select few is what you meant. (Continued…)
What a joke

She is absolutely one of the worst comedians of all time. She's miles past annoying and I find it very hard to locate anyone who finds her the least bit entertaining or funny. (Continued…)
The jokes on "Joke"

And yet, Joke, you spent 20 minutes writing a missive on it.
Why?
If this article is the complete opposite of something someone would want to read, than why write a response?
By your own logic, nobody will see it. (Continued…)

"Sounds like somebody isn't think straight"? Haha, even when you're writing a response, the intelligence level is severely lacking which gives even more backing on the fact that this article is thoughtless. (Continued…)
