Jesus is Magic (2005)

R:
I liked this alot. For those of you who saw "The Aristocrats," you know that Sarah Silverman is basically the only person who was able to make the joke shocking, at least by modern standards. So she's foul. For "The Aristocrats" the Michigan put a warning up on the door, indicating that some viewers might find it offensive. I believe the sign for "Jesus is Magic" indicated that "many viewers" would find it offensive. Awesome.

The humor is... I don't want to say "subtle," but there isn't a clear stream of jokes.

K: In fact, she didn't have that self-aware stage presence that many comics have, where they constantly wink at the audience--no no, it's just a joke, you see? And that made it really effective.

All I can say is, "I don't care whether you think I'm racisist, I just want you to think I'm thin."

R: As for whether you should see it or not... This should have been a special on Comedy Central. It's not, because it's too offensive, not because of any cinematic quality. See the DVD.
