i like her but i can't watch her material in any sort of volume. she's a very good female comic, which means she's still the meme of a female comic

No

I really don't think anyone can explain her.

Female comedians just aren't funny. It's like they try to hard and it comes across as forced and not humorous.




Female comedians have been successful and funny for years.

Recently:
Amy Schumer, Maria Bamford, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, Ellen (also, not so recently), Chelsea Handler, Whitney Cummings, Kristen Wiig, Aisha Tyler, Anjelah Johnson, Jane Lynch etc.

Less recently:
Roseanne, Lisa Lampanelli, Lily Tomlin, Janeane Garafalo, Kathleen Madigan, Paula Poundstone, Wendy Liebman, etc.

Even less recently:
Joan Rivers, Phyllis Diller, Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, Betty White, etc.


Sorry you don't like to laugh.

That's because female comedians aren't up to making fun of themselves and lack of creativity. Look at ck making fun of his body/age. Chapelle dressing up like prince or a crack addict


We literally just got finished discussing how it was funny that Amy Schumer made fun of how she might not actually be good looking enough to be on TV and then you say this shite.

Come on, bro.

She routinely jokes about being railed by a black guy on her stand up. It can be funny. It can be too much. But that's where it's coming from.

white female comedians typically seem to focus way too much on their looks, being slutty (both personal and observational), and the female perspective on sex (in great detail). most also double down on all of that by really incorporating the male meme of "women be cray" also.

that's whitney, shumer, and iliza.

as a random sample, go look at "this is not happening". the males have a wide variety of material. the females are almost exclusively sex, boyfriend, sex, boyfriend. the big exception is ms pat, but she's not a white female comic

Okay, so you don't like one of the most successful female comedians in history that I listed. I'm gonna go ahead and say you are doing nothing to disprove my point.

she seems to be getting fatter as she gets more famous, it usually goes in the opposite direction

lisa lampinelli is that on steroids

she flips around looks b/c she's ugly as frick

she flips around sex b/c she's so ugly she can only get black guys

she's just the ugly version of the female comic meme (and her delivery amplifies this by being a gross delivery)

3 weeks ago when i saw the preview for her new movie i couldn't believe she had a movie (and lebron was in it?)

but then i couldn't believe that she was so big for the making of that movie. i have a lot of standup on my youtube suggestions and i saw some previews for clips this past weekened. she was MASSIVE in some. she fluctuates for sure.

Well, it is true. She let a random taxi cab driver finger bang her years back after giving her a ride

This thread is the living embodiement of her 12 Angry Men sketch. Beautiful performance art, y'all.

Her stand up is kinda lame, but she has made some incredibly funny segments on Inside Amy Schumer.

If you don't like her, just wait a year or two. She'll be gone never to be heard from again.

You've obviously never seen Maria Bamford, Anjelah Johnson, Tig Notaro, etc.
