rumours 45,521 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Kathy recently posted her new tour opener on YouTube: As I was watching it, I was wondering what you all think about Kathy Griffin. Do you find her comedy funny? Do you want her to make a full-fledged comeback? Do you think the picture she took has changed the dynamic of comedy within the U.S.? I recognize she’s a pretty polarizing person, so I’m interested to know your thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirages 20,259 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I am with @ryanripley on this one, though I never followed her so I didn't even know she had a comeback and I didn't really like a lot of her work, but she did not deserve this... I'm the bitch that's fragile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I found the severed head picture to be highly inappropriate and disgusting, but she really didn’t deserve the magnitude of backlash she received. I also miss seeing her on CNN for NYE. The last one with Anderson and Andy Cohen was unwatchable for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I found more confusing was some people thinking that it was an actual decapitation. I mean... why would a comedian be announcing that she had severed the President’s head via Twitter? While I didn’t like the picture at all, it was clearly fake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 117,344 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 For me personally, she's not funny at all I can watch her full show with even smiling But she was treated very badly.. was unfair.. but in politics, this is the game and we would do the same to a republican comedian who would use the fake dead bloody head of Hillary.. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matangi 3,050 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 she has been an ally to many lgbtq movements throughout her career, but to be honest i dont gve a **** about her comedy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnotyourbabe10 6,101 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I like her just fine. Not a huge fan but she has an interesting way of celebrity storytelling. However, her shows are pretty much a script -- lot of it seems to be rehearsed--other comedians appear more impromptu or on the spot. Ugh, I don't know how to say it but just know that I'm not trashing her. (Have gone to a show before!) Her NYE was always the best. Did a good job of not taking it seriously and did more improv than, seemingly, a usual show. (I understand comedy is written in advance but the shows I've seen felt scripted).

PunkTheFunk 124,469 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I'm not a huge fan of her comedy routines but I would watch her NYE show with Anderson Cooper every single year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 109,710 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Her comedy is funny. I especially enjoyed when she tells stories involving her and her celebs friends. She should return. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ dancin' until i'm dead (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma 7,182 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I don’t know about her comedy and the Trump thing wasn’t funny (like, it didn’t offend me, I just didn’t get how it was laughable ?) But I’m glad she gets back on her feet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoebitch11 3,924 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 She had a talk show for like 2 seasons, and the first season was the best. Because she's funniest when it's conversational and off the cuff. The second season was too strict and mechanical. Most people are dull and uninformed, so when something big happens people give it all their attention and make a big deal out of it. She does what she does because it's her life, so she'll always be successful and around somewhere, if even in the peripheral. Who doesn't wanna remove Trump's head? I'm sure nobody wants to give him head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a stupid idea, but her career shouldn't be over because of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prada 1,200 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Listening Kathy Griffin makes me happy. She touches on stuff my gay heart loves. Divas, celebrities. Not important but funny stuff. I'd love to see her ^^ She suffered enough imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
