WHEN JOKES GO TOO FAR?

Were last night’s MTV Movie Awards about handing out trophies or dissing Paris Hilton?

Sure, Paris may be nothing more than a racist, homophobic, idiot who is only famous for being famous, but the little softie in me thinks host Sarah Silverman went too far with the tooth joke. I mean, seriously, what did teeth ever do to her?

    Too far??? Every award show that is hosted by comedians poke fun at whatever is the hot topic at the time. Why is this all of a sudden too far when every comdeian on the face of this planet made jokes about Michael Jackson’s child allegations and no one said sh*t about that going ‘too far.’

    HELL NO… that shyt was HILARIOUS!!!
    She just simply thinks she’s above the law.. maybe this will shift her character a little.. make her realize she is not as “HOT” as she thinks…

    What I found really harsh (but also funny) was when the entire crowd cheered about Paris going to Jail… LOL

    I don’t like Paris Hilton, but I couldn’t stomach seeing her get humiliated in that way- there’s a difference between poking fun and being cruel, and Silverman definitely crossed into the latter. If you look at the mtv homepage reflecting on the shows’ events… they boast about the incident in a way that suggests they set her up to be humiliated for ratings. Or maybe not. Either way, I did think Silverman went too far… as annoying and irresponsible as Paris is, she is still a person with feelings.

    She didn’t go far enough.

    It should be made clear to Paris what a joke she is and how much the civilized world despises her.

    I think if you’re going to act like a fool for the world to see, then you deserve to get made fun of for it. end of story.

    I can’t stand Paris Hilton, but I’m with Aysla. I thought it was hard to watch as well. Plus I can’t stand Sarah Silverman. She’s just mean, not funny.

    eh, paris was loving it, if not in on it, considering her pity campaign of late. she’s not someone who distinguishes between good attention and bad attention.

    feeling sorry for paris is a waste of time. if it was anybody else, she’s be in on the jokes as well. it’s about time karma met her.

    It’s funny, I thought it was supposed to be worse to talk about someone behind their back. When Sarah said what everyone else has thought millions of times, to her face because she was in the audience, she gets ridiculed for it. Who the hell cares! I think it’s great that she had the balls to say it, instead of backing down when she knew Paris was there. Again, don’t do stupid shit if you don’t want people to talk about it!

    Nothing said to, or, about Paris is too much. If the roles were reversed, Paris wouldn’t show any empathy for anyone. She has proved that over and over again.

    whatever. That was hilarious. As others have said, Paris thinks everyone is just jealous of her, and thinks she’s better than everyone else. Plus, she herself has pimped out her sex tapes. So if she can dish that sort of ridiculousness, then she needs to be able to take it. I love Sarah Silverman…she’s hilarious and says what the rest of us think. Paris has said a million mean things herself, and needs to be able to suck it up and handle the heat.

    That was hilarious but mean as hell. I would not want to be humiliated like that.

    i would be humiliated too if it happened to me, but i would play against that, which paris clearly didn’t think of.

    instead of looking pissy and at the verge of tears, i would mockingly laugh at myself. try to be a good sport, for crissakes.

    ^ I agree with Aysla…that was way harsh. I’m not a fan of Paris but that was cruel.

    Paris is a joke, she deserves this and so much more, she used the sex tape to propel herself to fame. Paris having sex is the first introduction milllions had to her. So, in most of our minds she is nothing more than a sex joke. Sara just said what most think. Her smug little face proves that she believes that she is better than most and above being ridculed. Hopefully, she will see herself as others do. She shold have known she would be the brunt of jokes just 2 days before her prison term started. If she wasn’t such a publicity whore she would have been spared this in person. She is at every awards show in LA.

    That was absoultely humiliating to watch, I can’t even imagine how that makes Paris feel. Although it’s good for her to be humbled every once in a while, that shit was just cruel. Both when it comes to Lindsay and Paris. Make fun, sure, but don’t call people names. Involving the Baldwin incident wasn’t cool at all. And Paris is a racist and a slut and all the other things you can think of, but damn that was some hard shit, I think I would have started crying. Sarah is just overcompensating for being an ugly bitch who isn’t funny at all. Tough break bitch! I know, I never expected to be backcing Paris, but come on now.. If you want to show someone you are better than them, you don’t sink to their level. Rookie mistake.

    I definitley think that it went too far, i mean she was sitting RIGHT THERE! I could understand if she wasnt there, but they showed paris’s face and you could see she wasnt happy, it was just rude. As much as people would not like to believe it, she is a person and she has feelings. I feel bad for her, it made me sad seeing how hurt she looked,

  27. candyapple
    June-4-2007 @ 2:39 pm

    I don’t think I would have feel at all badly had she not been in the audience. And, why the eff was she there??? Geez!!! It truly was funny to me. The shot of Jack laughing takes the cake …. if you got Jack Nicholson laughing at your sorry ass, well … hahaha.

    June-4-2007 @ 2:44 pm

    normally i would feel empathy for the person being embarrassed, but i dunno, in this case i think it’s entirely appropriate. paris shouldn’t take it personal if it hurt so bad. just think of sarah as making fun of the “persona” of paris not the person.

    anyway, i think it was good for paris to be knocked off her pedastal.

    The next time Paris is making her racist, homophobic, and poor people comments, remember this moment. How quickly people forget she was behind the whole Lindsay firecrotch thing and so many other vile acts. I applaud Sara for saying it in front of her face. We know she is a person that’s why she should treat others like thier human. Which she doesn’t.

    ^devin i agree. paris can get away with being a racist and saying inappropriate things about minorities and somehow people think this is ok?!? so what if s.s. made a joke about her jail-time, it doesn’t even compare to paris’ past remarks and antics. boo frickin hoo paris. she is getting exactly what she deserves.

    I totally agree with devin. It’s just a classic scenario of someone getting a taste of their own medicine. It makes for good comedy.

    Now before I comment, I want to say that I do think that Paris deserves to go to jail and pay for breaking the law BUT I thought the jokes were just out of hand and very mean spirited. It’s not like the joke was said in a private video like Paris’ it was said in front of Paris, all her peers, her family and the massive audience watching. I didn’t think it was funny at all watching someone squirm. This is probably the worst thing thats ever happened in Paris’ life and people are laughing and cheering about it. That’s just sick. It’s not like Paris is an evil person and I think I lot of people like to bring people down who are more successful than themselves….its called ‘tall poppy syndrome’. I think that everyone needs to give her a break and Sarah Silverman needs to take a look at her own life before being so rude and judgemental about anothers. That is not comedy to me.

    Totally deserved. If you are going to drive under the influence of anything with a suspended license then expect to get shit on and have people laugh at you. I am just sad they didn’t say anything about her wonky eye, girls face is fuuucked up!

    I thought it was fucking funny. I also thought it was GREAT when she called Lindsay a rude little pig.
    FINALLY!!

    June-4-2007 @ 4:30 pm

    the jokes were okay, but i don’t think it’s terribly offensive. i’d think paris might be more hurt at the cheering and clapping when sarah said “paris is going to jail this week”… because that part wasn’t the joke. that might have unnerved her and made her uncomfortable for the real jokes.

    she was spot on about lindsay lohan b/c she is actually hated in hollywood - that girl just isn’t liked by anyone b/c of her diva ways but contrary to popular belief paris is actually pretty well liked b/c she’s actually extremely friendly … you can’t really judge her by all the home videos out there b/c they were never for anyone to see & what have we all done behind closed doors that we wouldn’t want the world to see? anyway, sarahs paris joke was rather horrible, had paris not been there it wouldn’t have bn as bad but she was right there in the front row & in all honesty i don’t know how ppl refer to her as a slut etc… she has always had long term boyfriends - she doesn’t sleep around as much as 1/2 of the females in hollywood … & also sarah silverman actually stated she felt really bad after that joke & kinda regretted it ..

    I thought it was hilarious. Here are some words of advice for Paris: If you don’t want to be in the spotlight for bad as well as for good, then DON’T SCREW AROUND AND AIR YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY IN PUBLIC! She’s willing to behave badly in front of EVERYONE, then she should also expect to have EVERYONE commenting on her bad behavior. ‘Nuff said.

    i didn’t think it was too far. paris has built herself up to be talked about in this way- it wasn’t the jokes that were humilitating but the hundreds of people in the audience cheering at them! whatever- it was about 40 sec of embarassment that will be forgotten in a week.

    We need your comments on this! lol

    Btw, I thought the jokes were HILARIOUS… mostly because they were true. It needed to be said and I am glad Sara had the balls to say it in front of her face!

    THAT SLUT DESERVES EVERY BIT OF IT.. it is sad that 13 14 year olds copy paris hiltons ways.. that slut needs to go to jail.

    Move on to Lohan and Nicole Richie, why aren’t they in jail?
    Oh and please, kids will copy whoever’s popular its just sad that girls who can be respected and have real personalities (Alba may be hot but she doesn’t count on the persona side) are not looked up to. I guess Sarah was doing what everyone wanted and I thought she was funny (not that funny but thats a different story) it was just you had to feel a tiny bit sorry for Paris, she’s already going to jail and people have laughed, celebrated, cried with happiness etc for weeks about it but it was WAY humiliating for that to happen in such a public setting.
    To be fair, even if Sarah cared, she couldn’t have changed the jokes anyway because she like everyone else didn’t expect Paris to show.

    Ok Me, you ready? (LOL)

    I thought the funniest part , (and the part I remember Paris looking like she was going to cry) was simply when Sarah said, “So, Paris Hilton iis going to jail”, and the amount of CHEERING I heard….. That had nothing to do with the Penis /bars joke. There were a LOT of cheers and whistles from that audience. THAT’S when I saw the priceless expression. This is just previous actions of her life, coming back to haunt her. I don’t feel bad for her at all.

    The Penis/bars joke was pretty fucking funny. Had it been about Pam Anderson, I don’t think anybody would be feeling bad for her……..don’t act like a whore for the 10 years you have been in the public eye, and then expect people to believe you when you pout and carry the Bible.

    the joke was actually pretty funny but all these stupid comments are pissing me off.
    all the people saying that she deserved it because of all the shit she said about jews, blacks and whatever are fucking stupid. don’t act like you haven’t said anything racist or homophobic in your life. the only difference between you guys saying that shit and her saying it is that your remarks were not filmed and put on the internet. stop acting like you all are Oprah or something.

    Didn’t watch the clip and can’t stand Paris but I really can’t stand Sarah Silverman either. She looks like the type of person that would smell of stale B.O. She always looks unkempt with her dirty hair and unibrow.

    paris hilton is famous for making a sex tape, rampant drug use, drinking & driving repeatedly after being caught, and basically acting like a spoiled rich bitch. she was going to jail the day after the movie awards. why did she even show up? it would have been ridiculous if sarah silverman had not made a joke at her expense. she’s known for dry, biting comedy; that’s why mtv got her to host. who cares how humiliated paris was? she should have expected it and not shown up. this is stupid. i can’t understand people worried about her hurt feelings. does she give a shit about what you think? does she care about the people she insults with her filthy, racist remarks? of course not. maybe jail time will give her a little perspective about what a joke she really is. but i doubt it.

    it was rich to see someone like sarah silverman slam paris hilton for sucking dick when she herself wouldn’t have a career without sucking dick. people who live in glass houses……sarah, you’re not that funny, but the guys you fuck are so you have a career.
