Very few funny female comedians. Liza Schlesinger is good but she's also easy on the eyes so that helps.

“I’m literally going to take a polygraph test and put it on my show this season,” Schumer told Norton. “And I promise whatever the results are—I won’t let them cut.

If Liza is your go-to female comedian, broaden your horizons.

Amy Schumer & Lena Dunham are both talentless feminist hacks who need to go away.

They sound jealous because I have never even heard of them and everyone knows Amy Schumer.

She's definitely in over her head combined with too much exposure too fast.

Dennis Leary and Robin Williams were notorious for lifting entire segments but never seemed to eat a bullet for it


Who have you been listening to? The majority of comedians, particularly from the Boston and New York club scene, constantly remark about Leary stealing from Bill Hicks. Louis C.K., Joe Rogan, Bill Burr, and plenty of others, have commented on it at length in past interviews.

I'm aware of all that, but they didn't bury him or run him out of the business.

The minute these same comedians caught wind of Mencia's rising fame they sent that idiot to the bottom of the sea. Now I don't like Mencia at all, but they seem to be rather picky of who and how they out these folks.

Not a single one of those examples shows she's a joke thief. The hardest one to get by is the Patrice bit, and they both just recited urban dictionary shite.

The poster is a huge reach.

The woman with the Oprah bits was on Inside Amy, the show she would then use the bit on? Also, the show has a frick ton of writers. Amy Schumer doesn't write every sketch and go over every bit to make sure no comedian has ever done them before.

On this season of Inside Amy she's taking a polygraph unedited where they'll ask her if she's stolen any jokes.

You said in another thread that you used to like her. She's the same today as she was five years ago. Same humor. Same delivery. She just had a fricking monster 2015 and is now a household name, so everything she does is magnified and is 1000 times more available. What changed for you?

She evolved on a racist joke. Her set today is 95% the same as her set in 2010. It's misdirection based around sex most of the time. It's nothing groundbreaking.
