I am actually really shocked by her responses. She makes a good point about the host not knowing what it's like to be a social pariah. Garofalo definitely does. She was pretty much a bunch line in the right wing communities in the 90's- 0 0's. She was really despised.
The only times in the '90s I heard her being mocked it was for being a groupie.
Conservatives got mad at her about some weird eugenic shit she said about how their limbic systems never got out of Africa or something—it didn't make sense so I can't remember it—but that was years later.
She has no idea "what it's like." She knows her slightly higher-status peer is getting shit at, and she's upset by it. She'd love if it happened to you.
I don’t understand this. Garofalo was open about hating conservaties and red states and they reciprocated. She didn’t suffer any kind of career damage or anything she just became a hate figure on the right.
That's why I like her, because she'll engage and debate, not shout someone down. Most of these people are "all talk no listening", and that drives me insane. That's how you get SJW's and neo-nazi's, when you can't have a discussion and open dialogue.
I am surprised and impressed by this. This reminds me of Whoopi Goldberg; I thought she was insufferable until she had the guts to show up to O&A and they folded like a deck of cards. Althought I disagree with Goldberg politically, I appreciate that she is consistent and she appears to believe in the things that she says. There are too many Amy Schumers out there who say whatever they need to say to appease people.
I like Goldberg, because she's not an asshole. She is firm in her beliefs, but she's not a shouter and she can hold a pretty logical discussion on her views.
Funny how the older generation who's actually seen some shit are the most grounded when it comes to dealing with differing viewpoints, eh?
Yeah it’s not really the same. But after 9-11 she got pre social media style death threats. The actual scary kind that get sent to your house and home phone.
She wasn't herself claiming to have ever been a social pariah. She was just telling the other woman that she has never had to experience being one and she should try to be empathetic and consider what it must be like to go through.
NIce genuine spelling of the word "they're". Also, defending Louis over Judd, her super succesful friend who prints money in Hollywood, shows she has integrity.
Not into her politics, but as far a comic broads who are over the hill and think their opinion matters, I'll take Garofalo over Kathy Griffin. Garofalo at least can be funny.
I would to issue a fatwa against those two podcasts hosts and Pamela Adlon.
But most of all I'd like to issue an extra violet fatwa against Jim Norton for being a self-righteous hypocritical backstabbing nematode with bad t-shirts and no Vice show.
Nothing too bad, just nice shit about the accusers. She didn’t really throw Louis under the bus, she just put out a non-committal statement and dropped Dave Becky. In fairness, Becky was the biggest piece of shit in the whole saga.
Then a few days ago, she called it, “devastating,” but only in reference to the fact that she effectively lost a job when FX got rid of Louie.
This is nothing compared to Jim or a lot of Louie’s “friends.”

Garofalo was full on liberal, feminist before it was hip, so you know she's probably sickened by the new era. All the other alternative comics surpassed her in doubling down on trying to appeal to the masses. I never hated Garofalo, at least she's been involved with decent things. She seems like she might laugh at some edgy shit behind closed doors. Jim's a worm.
Funny thing is her humor is more in with the times today then in was when she was relevant. The the mid-2000s she had basically left traditional stand up behind for the kind of long form story telling BS that’s in right now.
I'm sure this take probably stems from bitterness. At this point though, I'm fine with self centered defending. It's better in the long run than silence.
she seems like the kind of dike that actually goes around fulls circle and appreciates masculinity, offensive humor, and competent people for what they are. in other words, she doesn't come off as insecure and easily threatened by things she may not relate to. whereas younger feminist retards are both easily offended and impressionable.
always liked this bitch. Not having kids will fuck a woman up. Her jew boyfriend of 20 years ditched her and promptly married in the Tribe after his rebellious phase with this suckered shiksa. shoulda stayed wise.
I always kinda liked her, something about her bitchy persona always kinda turned me on. She was kinda cute in a 90s Gen X chick sorta way, like around the time of the Larry Sanders Show. She got too skinny later on, she looked better when she was sorta fat.
To be fair though at that time, there was a huge divide with the cast between her along with maybe Laura Kightlinger vs Adam Sandler and co.
I never really find her funny but she was a better actress than comic. But yeah, she was definitely the original feminist/political one-woman show type comedian icon. Can’t believe people are now shitting on her.
There are few pop-culture things easier to ignore than a stand-up comedian you don't like. Louie isn't someone like Beyonce, he's not being rammed down everyone's throat at every corner. If you hate the guy for whatever reason then fine, ignore him. There's no rule stating that everyone must approve of everything. He doesn't want to tour the country begging for forgiveness and that's his right.
'It's like talking about Israel' wow Janine has impressed me and I couldn't stand her in the 90's. Her comedy was still better than Sarah Silverman and her crew though.
I'm really surprised by her answers and willingness to defend them - great to see.
Gen-X is fucking insufferable, but they've never been particularly PC. A Gen-X feminist like Garofolo is probably seething at what the culture has become.
Janeane has embraced the alt-right, shes cool with us now! We got Ellen last week after she defending Kevin Hart, now Janeane? The Deplorables are looking more woman-friendly by the day! Hopefully Lena Dunham does something cool tomorrow. (though that rocks in her sisters vagina gag was pretty classic)
I now feel vindicated for never fully dismissing JG back in the days when she was an annoying political zealot.
The dividing line between those who are pro or anti Louis in the entertainment industry has been really instructive. I look forward to never paying heed again to the prisoners of the moment, who fell on the wrong side of the matter. When Lou gets back on top again, a lot of those opportunistic phonies who wagged their fingers or clutched their pearls are going to pretend like they were behind him all along.
Also, as much as Amy sucks, at least she didn’t join in on the nauseating Apatow chorus. Although with her fading star, it could happen any day now, purely for publicity purposes.
“When it comes to the #MeToo movement, I think it’s okay to question the source. It should transcend gender. It’s human rights. Cause if you don’t, anyone can be accused of anything at any time,” Garofalo said. “And if you’re not allowed to question that — I can say right now ‘I’ve got pictures of you molesting a child. Don’t question me!’ You know what I mean? Don’t question the questioner! Then it’s a Twilight Zone episode. And I think in any movement, for human rights, you’ve got to transcend gender, and you’ve got to consider who’s making the accusation and why and when, because it matters.”
Holy shit. Who knew Janeane Garofalo was the ultimate red pill?
