Sarah Silverman has a superhuman ability to push irony to its breaking point. She touches on issues ranging from sex to the Holocaust. All the while, she relies on a naughty child’s wide-eyed innocence to sell the outrageous statements. While Silverman’s most famous comedy routines do indulge in their share of pushing (buttons, envelopes, boundaries, whatever else can be pushed with risqué jokes and matter-of-fact delivery), her actual telling of jokes tends to be sharp and concise. Not all of her routines are pure one-liners, but her instincts for them are killer.
