Per the video:
Mararet Cho: “I totally love taking off my cloths, all the time. Nobody has to ask me to strip, I will do it voluntarily! Always!”
***BLECH, BLECH, BLAAAAH!!!****
(Wipes vomit from mouth.)
I don’t care about Margaret Cho or Tattoos…
Next.
Yeah, her parents chose the right name for her (I mean her Korean name).
she looks different
An endless stream of blah, blah, blah, blah…blah.
God, she’s annoying.
I predict she will find a way to pass away in the near future.Five years, tops.
Dear Margaret,
I am a fan of yours, but please, keep your clothes on. I would rather be able to continue to watch your shows without vomiting.
Sincerely,
The Korean
Tattoos? Yah, mon!
Margaret Cho? Pass the air sickness bag.
Although little bit disappointed on her show in VH-1..she can do better without the gays and midget etc..Regardless, she is my favorite comedian and all American girl!!
# 7,
I’m a bigger fan of her mom. She sounds crazy! In a Korean mom kinda way…
WK @ 10,
Heard this at one of her shows — walking into the premier of “I’m the One I Want” movie, Margaret Cho’s mom grabbed everyone who was walking by her and asked, “Do you know me? I’m famous!” (Read it in Korean accent for maximum effect.)
Yes, I am a fan of Margaret’s mom as well.
“Du yu noh mi? Eye am a pay moh sue!”
You mean like that?
thekorean, maybe you heard it from Margaret Cho.Did she squint her eyes real tight and say “Du yu noh mi? Eye am a pay moh sue!” That kind of thing was almost her whole show in the 1990s. Blacks and whites loved it.
A chubby Esther Ku back then. I don’t watch enough to know if her routine has changed but I liked her TV show.
@13,
You are right, it wasn’t clear — I heard it from talented Ms. Cho herself, at the show. But there was no eye squinting, and it was clear that it was done out of nothing but affection.
I like Esther Ku as much as the next person (went to Caroline’s two weeks ago just to see her open for some other dude), but comparing those two seems like a stretch. Cho’s writing is far and away better than Ku’s as far back as I remember about Cho’s material, with a caveat that my knowledge about Cho only starts around late 1990s, when my time in America (and speaking English) began.
No one asked, but just for the heck of it, Jim Tavare should have won Last Comic Standing.
Maybe Margaret Cho used the eye squinting only for making fun of her grandmother. “Margaret, why you do that?” Her material has evolved and matured a lot since. Maybe Esther Ku’s will too.
Margeret Cho is genuinely funny. As Christopher Hitchens astutely pointed out once, women who happen to be lesbian, fat, Jewish, or fag hags like Cho tend to have a better grasp of humor. Esther Ku is genuinely not funny. Watching her perform is painful. She’s pretty but not funny, and the two qualities are usually mutual exclusive in a female.
I’m not up to date on Cho but have never found her memorably funny. The cute-but-dull Esther Ku will vanish before long, I’d bet.
Sarah Silverman and Tina Fey are not knockouts, but IMHO are reasonably attractive funneywomen.
What would be amusing and refreshingly different is if Margeret Cho’s mom got tattooed.
Yeah, Cho lost it long ago. Plus she is too
hard to keep track of with all her changes:
she’s chunky, then fat, then way thin, then chunky again,
now tatooed, married, lesbian-esque, back to straight-ish,
then chunky again.
Esther Ku . . . uh, I wish the netizens could understand
enough English to hear her “comedy” routine and
inundate her website or something for all the
crappy racist diarrhea that comes out of her mouth.
Margaret Cho? Don’t care at all…
What’s going on with John Cho? How’s that new Star Trek movie turning out?
I saw a clip of Esther Ku playing on the piano and singing a comical song about smoking pot, before a live audience.
I admit my opinion of her improved a bit after watching the clip. It was funny. I would post a youtube link for the clip but the person who posted the video seems to have made it private or has taken it down.
