Sarah Silverman, I salute you.   It’s kind of a cheap laugh, but she doesn’t bail out of it, I’ll give her that.   …This one’s a bit long, given the material, and I don’t know who decided Jackie Martling should be in it, but there are some fantastic moments — Bob Saget grimly listing horrible incestuous sexual couplings and trying not to laugh; Gilbert Gottfried getting the room back; Teller with the coke bottle; Billy Connolly crying laughing; all the comedians busting up during the closing credits.   It doesn’t go as deep as it thinks it does, in my opinion, as far as the nature of the joke, but that’s fine with me; I didn’t see the need for it to become commentary in the first place.   And Andy Richter and that other guy telling the joke to their babies?   Brilliant.   (10/30/06)
