Comedienne Margaret Cho

[Latina]

Did anyone else catch Korean comedienne Margaret Cho on Comedy Central Friday night? Funny, sexy stuff.

First of all, to set the tone, she came out in tight sweater, miniskirt, and knee-high wool socks, even I thought she looked damned cute.

She started talking about how she likes porno movies, especially from the 1970s (I agree) when the actors/actresses were real, not anorexic women with plastic 48-inch boobs, and overly muscular guys with painfully long schlongs (are they ALSO cosmetically enhanced?).

She said she likes looking at REAL men's cocks, in pornos and real life. They are like snowflakes, no two are alike and they are all beautiful! I laughed hard at that!

She spoke of how there are so many types of cocks out there, and she likes them all, except the ones that start out tiny and grow just HUGE! No, no, uh-uh, TOO much, she doesn't WANT all of that! She would ask the guy if he could put some of that back in!

She compared it to ordering a sub sandwich. She never orders the foot-long sub, too much for her. She prefers the six-incher, because she can EAT that much.

I thought it was great stuff, either she has a VERY funny writer working for her, or does she write her own stuff? She convinced me she was drawing on her own experience, and Frank and I both tried to visualize her pouty Asian lips wrapped around a six-incher. I couldn't resist wrapping my OWN lips...and then we...I think we missed the rest of her routine...oh, never mind, I'm getting off topic here. Anyway, we found her whole routine funny, cute, and sexy.

So, did anyone else watch her?

I AM DAMN SORRY THAT I MISSED THAT

I wish that I would have caught that Latina. I loved her since she first started out. She's has picked up weight BIG TIME over the years. I can remember her being a small, petite cutie when she first got started in comedy. I stll remember her joke about a movie director asking her to be "more oriental".

I was not aware she gained a lot of weight. She was a little bit round in the belly on this broadcast, as I was before I recently lost 10 pounds, but she was not obese. So now I wonder if this might be an old comedy sketch rerun, before she gained a lot of weight, rather than a new broadcast. Either way, she was really funny.

I like that bit about being "more Oriental". It is funny, but tragically true. We have an adopted son who is of African-American heritage. Some white kids call him racist names, but because he does not have a southern accent and use slang, some of the other black kids don't think he's black enough. And that's NOT so funny! When are we going to get away from these racial stereoptypes?

There's another Korean-American comedian, Henry something, a tall man raised in Texas. I remember him talking about a visit to some relatives in Korea. He was at a bus-stop in Seoul when an American tourist asked him, "Is this-ee the bus-ee that goes-ee down-town-ee?" He drew himself up to his 6'4" or whatever, and told her in his best Texas drawl, "Ahh reckon so, ma'am!" So funny!

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, LIVED THE WHOLE ORDEAL, LATINA

I know just what your son is going through, Latina. I don't know if you ever noticed my pic when it was posted here in Literotica but I am African-American with French descent. Otherwise known in the South as Creole. As Alex Haley once described someone in his book "ROOTS", my skin color is too light to be black and to dark to be white. But in 1969, I was a 7 year old facing racism for the first time. Despite the fact that I was in the top 5 of my 1st grade class before going to the 2nd grade, my white 2nd grade teacher wanted to put me back into the 1st grade, claiming that I was a slow learner. Disgraced and pissed off with the predominately white private school, my parents transferred me to an all black public school. Imagine going from one school where you called the "N" word by many students to another school where the students call you "whitey". And imagine how confused I was at 7.
As for Margaret Choe's weight gain, are you aware that she used to have her own sitcom. I think it only lasted a season because the producers wanted her to lose alot of weight. Several months ago, E! channel did a "TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY" on her. They showed her career from the beginning when she was just doing stand-up. That would have given you an idea of her body changes. Don't get me wrong, I still like her and think that she's funny. Like I said though, I still remember her starting out looking like a cute petite little Oriental girl.

I am really sorry I missed this, I am a big fan of her. I used to watch All American Girl, although weak at times, it could have been good if ABC had given it a chance.

GuyJD, sorry to hear you have also been a victim of racism. I am Mexican-American, my husband is white, our son is black. In supposedly liberal California, that gets a lot of stares and some comments, from all sorts of ethnic groups. It's worse if we happen to be in rural "red-neck" (all white) areas or all-black inner-city neighborhoods.

Does Margaret Cho still do stand-up? The routine I mentioned was stand-up on a comedy-club stage, she looked maybe a little overweight but not terribly so, and I am beginning to think maybe this was a rebroadcast of a years-old performance. She paired a miniskirt with knee-high wool socks, she looked cute, adorable even, somewhat sexy but NOT trashy. Her comedy was also sexy wihout being trashy, like the bit about male organs being like snowflakes, no two alike and all of them beautiful (I agree with her assessment, by the way).

Yes, I do vaguely recall she had a comedy show on TV, it was a big deal at the time, the first Korean-American to star in a TV series. It would be a bigger deal if it WEREN'T such a big deal to be the first of some ethnic group allowed to do something, if everyone had the opportunity do anything regardless of ethnic origin. We are still SUCH a long way from that!

Ms Cho is kown for dressing up and can look very pretty. That is part of her charm, not only is she funny but brings style and class to act.
