McCarthy is exceptionally funny and endearing

I like McCarthy. She takes the Hollywood menu of airbrushed, surgeon-scalped, 2hr a day personal training sessioned model-like female actor standard that Hollywood perpetuates and cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies cash in on, and turns this paradigm on its head. Haven't yet seen the movie but plan to. She is one of the funniest, edgiest female commedians to come along since Lily Tomlin and Lucile Ball. I'm really not surprised by some of the idiotic posts found amongst sizists and McCarthy haters. Some of us are just more attached to fairytale Hollywood images of women than others.

Sizist? So what, we're just going to pretend that obesity is not a bad thing? Fat pride makes as much sense as syphilitic pride.

That's not event the crux of why the majority of McCarthy's stuff isn't funny. She has one joke - that of being a woman but acting like a crude man. That's been her character in every comedy film I've seen her in, which was one too many.

You call her edgy when she operates within the confines of low-brow comedy, a genre established circa 800 BC. You praise her for being unattractive and slovenly, when her character archetype has been all over television and movies since their inception.

I guess the question is, why express an opinion that is so obviously wrong?

What's funny about *&%()%87 and #$%@ %&& and +*&# with %$#& and ^%$#@%$? Does that mean I'm a great comedian? Does a non-existent, rediculous, unbelievable, plot with situations that are so far-fetched and unreal that an avid imagination could not make sense of it all.

Pretty hypocritical coming from a guy named "Chalupa." You probably weigh over 400 pounds.

Middle schoolers watch The League to feel grown up. I'm sure that's your situation.

That is literally the shittiest comeback I've ever heard on this website, and I've seen some doozies. I can't wait to hear the next one.

Which is just the boiler plate version of saying your life is a joke and you should give up.

Again, worst comeback ever. Try harder, waste of life.

No one ever cared about your opinion, Christopher. And they sure aren't starting now.

But it is kinda funny that the only person who will agree with Pat is his second account, Christopher.

ok you win this round of trolling. I deleted one comment and then it looked all out of place so I deleted the rest.

But seriously c'mon the Leaugue is hilarious. I'm plenty old and my 67 year old father dies laughing at Taco and the jokes.

I know people in fantasy leagues that crazy.
