Sarah Silverman is F*ucking Matt Damon!

This is legitimately funny (as opposed to most of the children I've fathered, who are illegitimate and not very funny.) Sarah Silverman, on Kimmel last night (that's what she said!) performing a little sketch about...well, you know.

Two larger trends here: one, there is an increasing meta-level to comedy that requires the viewer to understand larger pieces of context. Silverman and Kimmel are dating, of course, and that's a big part of the joke. She's telling her boyfriend, with some help, that she's screwing the Sexiest Man Alive (tm) on his own talk show; and two, the internet-driven ddemand for short pieces of forwardable (or bloggable!) comedy.



Regardless, it's very funny, and cements Matt Damon's status as one of the best A-listers out there. Never been in rehab, doesn't do the paparrazzi thing; married and apparently faithful; makes good movies; and makes fun of himself. I'll take it.
