Thread 213524580

There was a period of time between 1996-1998 where she was on top of the world and headed for even greater success. She was of course a very solid dark haired Italian woman with a tough personality.

Where did it all go wrong?

She showed me her tits at a club back in 2003

I think, /tv/, we can all agree she was a solid standup but compared to peers like, say, Silverman, she never got credit as a comedic actress.

Discuss.

Also: If you know her, met her, worked with her, or performed with her, share your stories here please

NOT JEWISH????
WHAT???
>Garofalo was born in Newton, New Jersey, the daughter of Joan and Carmine Garofalo. Her mother, a secretary in the petrochemical industry, died of cancer when Janeane was 24; her father is a former Exxon executive. Garofalo is of Italian descent. She grew up in various places, including: Ontario, California; Madison, New Jersey; and Houston, Texas, where she graduated from James E. Taylor High School. Garofalo has said that she disliked life in Houston because of the heat and humidity and the emphasis on prettiness and sports in high school....

Kevin Smith wanted her for the lead in Dogma but wasn’t allowed to cast her as she apparently didn’t have enough clout

She has no range... so unless you need a character like her .. she has no purpose in Hollywood

>>213524688
Are you confusing her with Sarah Silverman? NYC is loaded with Italian Americans. Both Garofalo is an Italian name, and she has that jet black dark hair Italians have.

Sarah Silvermanbergstein is Jewish.

>She has no range... so unless you need a character like her .. she has no purpose in Hollywood

Winona Ryder has zero range, but her career is like 10x longer and more successful.

There was an assumption that she was a hardline feminist liberal when she was getting pushed but then it turned out she really wasn't so Hollywood dropped her

>>213525045
Do t get me wrong she is a feminist but not the hardline sort that Hollywood wanted to push

for me it's larry sanders show janeane

>>213525045
>>213525067
She pivoted to political activism when Bush got elected, and that was AFTER her career started to wane.

She looked pretty hot in the cable guy. Did she have an eating disorder around that time?

>>213525108
My timeline for that show is all screwed up, because I watched it when it was on re-runs in the early 00s, and I thought that's when the show was made. Turns out it's from 1992-1998?

>>213525160
>anon implies eating disorders cause hotness

>>213525108
for me it was beverly

What fucking movie? Never heard of it.

Shouldve been the lead in Dogma instead of that bland white woman

I liked her but let's be honest, she had a voice like she smoked 3 packs a day.

Wilt it thou

>>213526694
Just watched Cop Land a few days ago, I always forget she's in it.

>>213526694
She peaked her, agree

Yes, Italy is not Israel. Thank you for your contributions to this thread.

>>213524580 (OP)
She was great in The Larry Sanders Show.

>>213524580 (OP)
There's a bunch of forgotten Garofalo movies probably. She was hot in her prime. Prime surly pussy. She had a good comedic shtick for her holes. Vastly more respectful than Silverman.

>>213525108
>>213525170
>>213525198
I was a teenager when the show came out and I dreamed of growing up to be like Artie. Instead I grew up to be Hank, including the baldness. Fuck.

are there any female comedians that do comedy where it's heavily about their delivery like norm macdonald/mitch hedburg/steven wright

closest I could think of off the top of my head is betty white but there's probably someone I'm not thinking of right

>>213527526
at least you got to watch the larry sanders show when it was new. what a fucking show

>>213527546
yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xR0M0Sm0W4

>>213527546
Maria Bamford comes to mind

>>213527716
In my country the show was on at 11:20pm on a Friday. I would lie in bed and stay up until it came on. The fact Larry was often in bed in the show made it resonate with me. The fact celebrities I knew who were in shows I was actually watching at the time would guest star as Larry's guests on the show added a whole level of coolness (meta wasn't really a concept back then).

>>213525878
>Leftism literally makes you ugly.

Alcoholism + Meth.

>>213527750
So many female comics stole this woman’s delivery.

I'm a eugenicist of sorts. It's a shame she never had a kid.

For me its freaks and geeks, which was written about going to high school with Gerafolo

>>213524580 (OP)
Genuinely what was her appeal? Sort of looking slightly goth sometimes? I don't get it we still had standards in the 90's.

>>213528107
>Sort of looking slightly goth sometimes?

She was stupid hot 1992-1999 until her alcoholism started to take it's toll on her. Her "goth" look literally comes naturally as she has dark black hair. A lot of goths were dying their hair black to get the look.

The whole gag with her Cable guy appearance is she's this modern goth girl who is working at this medieval theater playing a bar maid.

>>213528325

They didn't have forks in Medieval Times, but they had Goths?

Do you guys think Garofalo wig-poster is dead? I always enjoyed that schizo's threads.

>>213527526
Well Hank had a big old schlonger canonically so hope you were also blessed

>>213528518
Holy shit he's still active after a decade?!

>>213528587
>>213528568
is this autism?

>>213528646
I hope he blows his brains out and records it like the Bjork stalker.

She left the Larry Sanders Show & Sarah Silverman ended up getting featured more as a writer at the end of the series as well. Kind of weird how it mimicked real life.

God, Silverman sucks so much though.

>>213528860
Sarah is one of the guys! She talks about having explosive diarehah. How is that not funny and relatable?

>>213528953
I pooped 6 or 7 times yesterday so yes, that is pretty relatable.

>>213528988
I had hot cocoa so i had TWO shits in quick scucession. 1 sort of dry and took some pushing. Then 20 mintues later a bowl full of very squishy turds.

Nobody is going to mention Romy and Michele's high school reunion?

>>213529077
But you just did you IGNORANT ASSHOLE

>>213524616
Why?

>>213529335
I'm guessing she was drunk and anon looks like one of those breast enjoyers I've heard about.

>>213524580 (OP)
Hey, I haven't seen one of these threads in a while. I like JG so it's good to see.

>>213525108
Off the top of my head, I could only remember her from underrated 1997 comedy Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion, and a Bill Hicks documentary she presented. I know I've seen her in tons of stuff and always enjoyed seeing her in stuff though.

>>213524580 (OP)
She was too liberal even for Hollywood. No one wanted to cast her in movies and then listen to her talk about politics for hours.

She's a female equivalent of Marc Maron.

>>213530034
>She was too liberal even for Hollywood.

Not possible. She was a Jihadist against Bush and Fox News.

>>213526426
thats the last movie i ever saw with her in it
what even happened to her? she just disappeared

>>213528325
She's the Costco bargain bin knock off non union equivalent Alanis Morissette at best.

>>213527987
and none were good but her. i think norm actually spoke positively about her once which was rare.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hbH9j8Sz1Q&t=59s

she was also very fuckable at the time. what a rare combo

>>213529534
I assumed she was a lesbo and wouldnt pull shit like that

>>213531141
Lesbians are a figment of pornography

>>213524580 (OP)
She had a solid career as a writer.
She was never really going to be a breakout star, and she works in movies like reality bites or mystery men, but was never going to be a leading lady.
Go watch the shitty romcom the truth about cats and dogs which if I remember correctly was a reverse cyrano situation, but she does have phone sex and masturbate.
Otherwise its a pretty bad movie with nothing memorable about it.

>>213524580 (OP)
She was the one you loved to hate, and before she got really vitriolic her schtick was endearing.
I always found her attractive much to my buddies chigrin.

>>213532408
I didn't know you and him were... buddies.

Wigposting was done by many people, myself included. And like all low level memes, it just fizzled out.

>>213524580 (OP)
The Truth About Cats and Dogs (1998). I love her plump soft cheeks and full lips.

>>213527526
Hey, now!

Any wig stories?

>>213526694
She looks like she wants to fool around. Is that whats happening here. its gotta be

>In 2019, Garofalo publicly came out as asexual.
High-functioning autist

>>213524580 (OP)
how inviting. offering her slightly smelly moist belly button up for tongue probing.

>>213524658
Why be vague about it then put her name at the bottom? That's retarded.
>>213524807
I think it's fair to say she played the same character in all the movies/shows she was in and it was the 90s cynical and nihilistic doomer. She was kind of a character actor. A 1 character actor.

>>213533566
she really didnt fuck for someone who was an alchoholic

she did some of her funniest work on the Ben Stiller Show, but nobody here seems to know about it. believe it or not Stiller was often hilarious on it, too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM6Z5G-EXZQ

For me it's Southland Tales Garofalo

One of the cutest 90s girls, walled hard when the 2000s came along.

>>213534141
I know it, even Andy Dick was funny on it.

>>213534290
pretty much the best show on the air at the time

>>213524580 (OP)
i liked her as Ursula in Kiki's Delivery Service.
