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



Currently watching Another Period(created by two female comedians) and this is better than anything Daniel Tosh has ever done in his life.

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. Seinfeld was make something funny from a handicap parking spot or smoking.

We should start another thread on dane cook. I've never seen him say anything funny.

Schumer did have an entire episode debating whether she was hot.

I liked her first standup special, but everything since then has seemed forced and repetitive.

Her stand up sucks, but her show is pretty smart and a plays as a big frick you to celebrity culture.

Don't know anything about her comedy but I can say definitively that she's not even remotely attractive

Schumer definitely has her moments in her stand up.

She has a unique style. She is also one of the few female anti-PC warriors out there.

Nothing works 100% of the time. . .except Mexicans. -Schumer

Her stand up is terrible, but her show actually had a couple moments.

The "is she hot" skit with Paul Giamatti is legitimately hilarious.

She tries too hard to be gross and inappropriate and thinks that funny. Because her dad's a liberal Senator, she gets more tries than anyone else would ever get to find an audience. I don't care for her, but she can occasionally be funny. Too often, she's just cringe inducing disgusting.

I will admit, she's had a couple funny sketches on her show. The 12 Angry Men parody where they asked "Do you have a reasonable chub!" was great. Also, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey celebrating their "Last F&%kable Day" was outstanding as well.

She's aight.

As far as female comedians go the only one I really like is Maria Bamford and that's because she is legit psychotic.

You are correct. Her father is a relative, but not the Senator.

Right now she seems to be on the same bottle rocket trajectory as Dane Cook. He blew up in a hurry was allover the place did a few crap movies, was over saturated, and then fell off the map. Amy seems to have a little more going for her talent wise but time will tell.
