Cho has reached Jeff Foxworthy-esque levels of milking a joke for decades: in her case, her ching-chong accent jokes about her mom. Seriously, move on. I don't hate her comedy overall, but these bits are fucking horrible.

Rodents of Unusual Size - 2010-11-13 Most of her most recent stuff is largely political. Beautiful was kind of amazing. She has a great story in that about how she went to the Tolerance Museum in Alabama and people were racist to her.

Oktay - 2010-11-14 Yeah, this bit is about 10 years old, if not older. I was surprised it wasn't here. Didn't mean to start a war.
also: questionable tattoo judgement.

Her face makes me retch. Her comedy isn't much better.

I can't think of a better time to point this out. From the wiki article on Gwen Stefani's Harujuku girls:
"In an interview in the January/February 2006 edition of Blender magazine, American comedian Margaret Cho calls Stefani's Harajuku Girls a "minstrel show" that reinforces ethnic stereotypes of Asian women."
Now listen to her tell this joke again.

Rodents of Unusual Size - 2010-11-14 I think there's a difference between relating the story of one's own immigrant family to a general audience and exploiting the stereotypes of an ethnicity you aren't a part of to make a quick buck.

RomancingTrain - 2010-11-14 Nope, still minstrelry.

Rosebeekee - 2010-11-14 True ROUS, but Margaret Cho could have easily told this joke using a normal Korean accent and not stretching/flattening her face. She's not one to complain about negative asian stereotypes.

If there was ever one comedian I hoped I'd never have to listen to again it's her.
|
phalsebob - 2010-11-14 If you one starred this you are a racist!
|
Konversekid - 2010-11-14 I would be seen as a racist, however, I think it deserves an extra star since she chinks her eyes up more when she does her impression.

Margaret Cho is worth one more than no stars.

The New Meat - 2014-06-17
Remember in 2006 when Margaret Cho thought she could ride that Kelly/Shoes bandwagon back to cultural relevance?
