1. I really like her stuff.
I don't know if it's her humor or her shit that she says just full on that no one else will say, like the tirade she went into about Ann Coulter the other day, or on her preview for her show when she said "I honestly believe that this adminstration has thrown these kids (the troops) under a bus and couldnt' care less about them."

I think her unscripted stuff comes off better than the scripted stuff sometimes...most of the time. So I do find her enjoyable to watch, and apparently she is getting raunchier this season so maybe she'll give Margaret Cho a run for her money (another one alot of people loathe but whom I adore.)

3. That is funny, I love Margaret Cho
I think I tire of Griffin's ripping on the stars schtick. That stuff is completely unfunny to me.

16. I love both Kathy and Margaret.
Have you ever heard Kathy's piece about being on "Hollywood Squares" with Little Richard, Anna Nicole, and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog? I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself.

5. She makes me feel bad
I can't even explain that statement but I feel bad after I watch her.

7. I think it is the negativity that she oozes from every pore.

10. For me it's just her voice.
Equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to me. Okay, almost the equivalent. I shudder to think about it.

13. Who is Kathy Griffin?
I'm not trying to be funny, but I don't watch much television at all, and since I don't recognize this name, I'm guessing that she is some sort of new TV personality that I haven't heard of.

And being that I haven't heard of her, and assuming that she's doing some sort of TV schtick, I don't give a rat's ass one way or the other about her:shrug: Many, many things in life are much more important than TV.

15. She is just a female version of Don Rickles....
Or a cheap immitation...

It isn't shock value or pushing the racial stereotypes...

It's just catty and nasty...

Boring, to me at least...

17. Pretty funny, but not in huge doses.
Nor small ones. Give her a few minutes to get up a head of steam in one of her stream-of-consciousness stories, and she's good. Perhaps not for a full hour.

18. She can dish it out, but can't take it. Her whole act is criticizing and
making fun of people. Then Jay Leno said she was ugly, and she is crying (literally) about it.

19. She bugs the shit out of me.
I don't think she is funny at all. I find her annoying.
