comment |
The Sarah Silverman Program was a 2007–10 Sitcom starring Sarah Silverman, created by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab along with Silverman herself.The show's humor is predominantly based on satirizing conventional "family-friendly" or wholesome television programs. The show was originally titled with British English, as "The Sarah Silverman Programme". It was shown on Comedy Central in the United States, for three seasons consisting of six episodes each, then it was canceled.Comedy Central then decided to bring it back for a third season after Logo decided to co-fund it, apparently only because the show features a Straight Gay couple (who are actually played by straight actors). The show was cancelled again, after Comedy Central seemed to give up on it.Silverman played a sometimes-sweet often times-jerkass but always oblivious version of herself, similar to her persona from her stand-up routine. She is unemployed and supported by her sister Laura (Laura Silverman), a nurse who is dating a cop named Jay (Jay Johnston). Then there's Brian (Brian Posehn) and Steve (Steve Agee), Sarah's gay neighbors... or "gaybors", as her Nana calls them. |

Condescending Compassion: Sarah with Fred Blorth, constantly shilling herself for helping him (she even brings it up on the ceremony on which Jay was celebrated) ostentatiously pitying him, and making fun of his mother on tv. The reason to help Fred in the first place was jealousy of Jay's spotlight for his charity. |

Crying Wolf: Season 2, Episode 10, Patriot Act. Sarah attacks and accuses many bearded folks of being Osama bin Laden. Obviously, they're not. Laura grows tired of it, and demands that Sarah just control herself, no matter what she thinks she sees. Later, while riding her green sit-and-bounce,◊ Sarah actually does cross paths with Bin Laden, who is getting ready for a round of tennis. |

Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Parodied. One episode revolves around Brian and Steve attempting to stop pro-life activists from blowing up an abortion clinic, and it's shown that Sarah has had quite a few abortions herself. Also, just to play with the trope, the moral sweetheart Laura is assisting as a nurse at the clinic and even attempts to give a neutral talk to the activists of how aborting a pregnancy isn't so black and white. |

comment |
Straight Gay: Brian and Steve. To the point that for the first two seasons they had to regularly remind the audience that they were gay. The most the couple had ever done on screen had give a hyper-manly fist-bump. They come off much more as overweight nerds than Camp Gay. In fact, their nerdiness is much more important to their characters than the incidental fact of their sexuality. In DVD commentary Brian mentions that he didn't know the two characters were supposed to be gay until well into the 1st season. It was an afterthought, apparently. |

Toilet Humor: This show has it in spades. In the pilot, Sarah accidentally poops on herself while attempting to make a fart joke. Sarah and a young girl sing about pooping at the mall. The plot of an entire episode is about the consequences of Sarah licking her dog's anus. Steve farts in Jay's police cruiser after Jay complains that Steve shouldn't have called 911 just to have Jay give him a ride. "Whatever happened to that white dog poop from The '70s?" Sarah's attempts to queef are part of an episode's plot. |

Undisclosed Funds: Non-monetary variation when Sarah writes down the number of sex partners she has had instead of saying the number aloud. Played with in another episode when Sarah says, "Maybe this will change your mind", writes something on a piece of paper (presumably a monetary amount) and slides it over face down. When turned over it says: "Please!" |

NEET: Sarah is this. She's been unemployed her whole life even into her 30s and has to depend on and live with her sister for food and housing (but will even stoop as low as to steal Laura's rent money). She hates working being more focused on "correcting" society in her own way and it seems her only career goal in making money was to win a beauty pageant only eligible for young girls below age 13. |
