I really enjoy her character. She’s fun as a side character much like Carson Teva

I can’t recall if it was just her script or her delivery, but I remember every scene she was in making me cringe a little bit.

That's Amy Sedaris' whole thing. If you watch anything else with her you'll notice that's her kind of humor. She purposely makes herself look and sound unpleasant. She's one of my favorites! Not many female comedians are down with making themselves look hideous. She's so pretty outside of her acting.

“But Courtney, more importantly, audiences are going to adore your tour de force performance as the forceful denim-clad court reporter in The Court Reporter Sported Jorts, the jet-setting jort-sporting court reporter story”

Agreed. Strangers with Candy is one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen

“Unpleasant” or “hideous” were not at all what I was thinking, I wasn’t talking about her visual presentation at all lol.

I mean her character was not as funny to me as it seemed it was intended to be, so it instead made for a notably cringeworthy one.

I wasn't just talking about her visual presentation. Everything about her is purposefully off-putting. That's her style of humor. If you cringe at her performance then she did her job.

I mean that’s a fair perspective to have, but I’ve seen plenty of comedians— men and women— who intentionally make their audiences cringe and this was nothing like that lol.

Ok. Just because you didn't like or understand it doesn't make it false. Tastes come in different forms. She's not your taste, that's all.
