NFT: Amy Schumer

3rd season was a step back. Havent seen any this year. I suspect that she's spreading herself too think with the show, specials, and the movies.

Her a lot on Last Comic Standing years ago. But she hasnt really grown since then as a comic. I feel like she ambraced a role rather than expanded her abilities.

Im no comedic expert, goal is to make money I guess. But I think she is talented enough to bring her jokes to another level. Well, more like I thought that when she was on LCS.

the other night, I came to this conclusion.

When AS talks about sex, it makes me think of her and I want to vommit.

When WC talks about it, it makes me think of her and I want to be there.

Didn't she straight up steal a lot of the jokes for her show? I saw something like that on youtube. I know a lot of comics do stuff like that but that's pretty lame.

I think she's just okay. She can be funny but she's kind of overrated.

I didn't know Whitney Cummings was still "a thing" haha!!

.

but funky.

I really like some of her earlier special. I don't watch her show religiously, but the skits I do catch I tend to like (and she has some real gems in there also).

It's also dissapointing how any discussion about her devolves into "shes fat vs no shes not" or "i'd fuck her vs i'd never fuck her". I get that her act often involves sex but still...

Sorry if I offended you, I'll see if I can locate a safe space.

and I never cared for the show.

Iliza Shlesinger and Nikki Glaser are where it's at right now for female comedians. Another recent hilarious netflix special, Ali Wong, pregnant asian chick

actually be funny in one thing so far. I really don't understand her popularity at all, but maybe I missed something in which she was actually decent.

The stuff about alleged joke thievery has more-or-less blown over, as most of the comics who supposedly had stuff lifted from them have come out in support of her. The Patrice O'Neil bit seems like an obvious smoking gun, but her explanation seemed reasonable enough to me.

Her show is somewhat different - I think somebody in her writer's room has an originality problem. Much harder to explain away.

I find her her to be more annoying than funny

I did like Trainwreck but it was more because of Hader, LeBron and Cena.

+1. She's not horrendous - but I can't understand one thing about her or her act that caused her to get the attention she received. Even when I don't like a comedian(ne), I can usually at least see the appeal to others, in this case I'm drawing a blank.

.

She reminds of Bob Saget after Full House, when his entire schtick was look how dirty I am! I'm nothing like Danny Tanner!

She's crass and all, which I don't mind in general. But, I feel her jokes rest too much on how crass she is, instead of being crass while telling jokes.

It's not like I've seen everything she's done, but I liked her stand-up from a few years ago and her sketch comedy, too. And I thought "Trainwreck" was amusing enough, but like a lot of comedies it falls apart in the third act.

"She reminds of Bob Saget after Full House, when his entire schtick was look how dirty I am! I'm nothing like Danny Tanner!”

Haha modern day Miley Cyrus reminds me of the same. I’m nothing like Hannah Montana!

Overrated, IMO.

She's fat and I wouldn't do her.

This x10. I don't comics being crass at all. Pryor was a master at it. But the "I'm funny because I'm crass" schtik just doesn't do it for me. I feel the same way about Artie.

Btw, I'd fuck her brains out

people who judge female stand-ups solely on the basis of how they look (as if they were modeling clothes on-stage) sound ridiculous.

Amy Schumer isn't trading on her looks, and despite that, she probably fucks better looking guys than most of the Lotharios who insist they wouldn't fuck her with somebody else's dick.

Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit. Where did I say I was offended in my post?

I'm not offended, and this stupid "safe space offended SJW PC" collection of garbage buzzwords is so played out and cliche at this point.

The reason it's disappointing is that a large segment of her work is literally lampooning this exact mindset (e.g. the last fuckable day skit), so its somewhat ironic when people don't realize and play right into that.

Funny how everyone wants to rail against "PCs" and "SJWs", or locate "safe spaces" until someone says something that pisses them off. Criticize the police on BBI and you'll ave a collection of posters ready to jump down your throat, some of whom are quick to criticize "PC" culture and "offended" people.

I don't think there's that many great ones out there at the moment. I gave Tig Notaro a shot because she had a ton of hype, but it just wasn't clicking for me. Whitney Cummings is okay...Schumer's early standup though is better IMO. I haven't seen the latest HBO special though.

The funniest female comics on TV right now, in my opinion at least, are the girls from Broad City. I love that show (and love how it incorporates NYC heavily)

Fat and ugly to boot.

looks like cabbage patch kid

Ilana Glaser is very funny (and is great with Abbi Jacobson on Broad City).

While Garfunkel & Oates was funny for a bit, I like Riki Lindhome better with Natasha Leggero in Another Period.

I recently caught Chelsea Peretti's "One of The Greats" standup on Netflix...she does a great job.

Wendy Liebman has been funny for a long time. And there's a good chance that Amy Schumer actually stole some of her jokes.

Even when I don't like a comedian(ne), I can usually at least see the appeal to others, in this case I'm drawing a blank.

Jcn, the women out there who are just like her who find her very captivating. The title of her movie “Trainwreck” is the most excellent adjective to describe her humor and her fan base. Those women in their 20’s-….even 40’s 50’s who pride themselves in being fat drunk whores revel in her sorts of jokes, then when you call them out for being exactly that- fat drunk whores, they bitch.

I thought it was “Ok” for 2011 when she first came about, but she really hasn’t "turned that corner” or is “tearing it up" as others have claimed

since when

you are by far the most sensitive poster here, but that's what I like about you. I do worry you're afraid to go outside though (which is just my imagination of what you are like and may not be true at all.) You'll always have a safe space in our hearts.

There is a difference between criticizing and disagreeing than demanding a "safe space" where you are not allowed to be criticized or disagreed with.

and unfunny.

I've laughed at some of her stuff.
I've changed the channel on some of her stuff.
she's good looking, but age has not been kind.

WTF is a safe space? is that where every one gets a prize kids go to neither offend nor be offended?

Same old shit from her and not attractive either.

No it is where you are insulated from micro-aggressions of perceived (not actual) mean people.

BBI is a very unsafe space which has driven some gentle souls away.

She isn't a hottie but she isn't ugly either. Sometimes I forget that on BBI we all date tens and turn away 9s 24/7 whilst making millions of dollars, beating up chuck Norris and having 12 pack abs.

BTW, "micro-aggression" are SJW slang for "not being aware of every possible interpretation of what you are saying and how it may not validate some people."

Better to just be direct and call someone a shithead rather than say vague things open to interpretation.

I don't want her to be devastated. I can have an opinion on any public figure, because they're a public figure?

they can extact female comedians from SNL and promote them as attractive desirable females....Unfortunately the do this a great deal...FAIL same with that Tina Frey...get off my screen already. As I tell my wife I do not want to watch and pay for ugly....sorry had to be said...
