If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
You don't know what is funny then. |

This is the first time I have heard either. Usually dislike American comedians, especially stand-up, possibly because I don't watch or know enough of their work, and these failed to buck the trend. |

|
Could we have better examples of their work, then? |
|
Most of Cho's comedy stems from her ethnicity (her parents talky talky stuff) and her bisexuality thing. I think she is bi or something heh. |
|
I agree, im not so much a fan of either Maria Bramford or Margeret Cho. Actually, and i'm not saying this because i'm sexist or anything, but i don't think i have seen many female comedians that I found extremely funny. |

I don't think it is a sexist thing, there just aren't that many female comedians that I find particularly humorous. Or comediennes, I suppose. |
|
I have two of Bamford's comedy albums, and I love listening to both of them. When watching her on TV though, her comedy falls flat for me...not sure why. As someone else mentioned, her use of her voice when telling her jokes is a large part of her act. So it probably just translates better into an audio-only experience. |
|
I hate Silverman's stand up, but her show makes me lol without fail |
|
Silverman enjoys retarded poop jokes. |
|
Poop jokes are corny and unclever, i can't stand those kind of tasteless jokes. I mean if there is actual comedy behind it and fecal matter is somehow involved in the joke then it's ok, but if the punchline is poop and poop alone then it's just stupid. |

Unless they tell the poop joke ironically. Major difference. |
|
While I can't think of any great female stand-up acts, plenty of women are great comedic actors. |

I don't care what anyone says, I love Marie Bamford, along with all the Comedians of Comedy. |
