Andrea Burns post 11
Watching the Margaret Cho comedy video left me conflicted in my opinions towards her. While watching it I was getting pretty annoyed with her. I found her to be extremely obnoxious. However I've never seen a comedy act before, so for all I know part of the comedy is being over the top and obnoxious. Looking past that, I was kind of in shock by some of the things she said. Granted I'm not a prude or live under a rock, but I felt some of the things she said was taking it a little too far. Again maybe that is just part of the comedy of it, but I found myself shaking my head at quite a few of her jokes thinking, "did that really just come out of her mouth?" On the other hand, she did do a good job of exposing and addressing stereotypes and how ridiculous they can be. For example, when she mentioned the producer asked her to speak in her "native language" when English was her first language. By bringing these stereotypes to the surface, she was able to discredit them in a comical manner.
