Sarah Silverman Wants The Pope To Sell His Crib To Feed The World

By Evil Beet Gossip • on October 11, 2009

Sarah Silverman, quirky quirkball comedian, has a plan the end world hunger: She wants The Pope to sell the Vatican and use the money to feed the world. Harhar.

This is supposed to be “one of those viral videos” that blows up the Internet and that everyone is running around quoting, but honestly? Blah. Played out. And frankly? I don’t even know what this video is supposed to be doing. You have to watch the entire thing only to find out that there’s no link to a charity with an actual plan to end world hunger and in the mean time you get to sit through her staple material: Holocaust and pussy jokes.

I go back and fourth between finding Silverman to be really good at what she does and pretty decent at her own extremely played-out bit and this video definitely makes me think the latter. While I think it would be great if she was doing something to actually help aid world hunger (as opposed to just mentioning it several times in a video that doesn’t offer one reasonable tip on how to solve this problem) and would find it extremely difficult to criticize, this just seems like a really lame attempt at making jokes about something that her peers actively work to combat.
