Schumer at the Apollo was kinda funny IMO.

Ali Wong Baby Cobra is freaking hilarious though. Female comedian gold.

I always thought Amy Schumer was a slob and not funny. Crass maybe, but not funny. More on the annoying side than anything.

I had a drink with her a few years ago. She'd just broken up with Jeselnik. She seemed cool then. I watched ten minutes of the show last night to see what all the talk was about. I turned it off after ten minutes. It was terrible.

Them shoulders doe.

I used to think she was pretty damn funny but comics need their comedy to progress to remain relevant. All she has is the 'my pussy stinks and I'm a whore' shtick. It's gotten old and repetitive.

In her Instagram melt yesterday, she said she sells out arenas.

Dumb bitch had the gall to book the NO Arena for a show on New Years Eve this past year thinking it would be a hit. They moved the show to Mahalia Jackson due to low ticket sales.

It is strange how some comedians get blasted for steal jokes


what's crazy to me is why any comedian would try to lift material in 2017 from not very long ago. we have the internet, it's not gonna take long for people to realize you didn't write those jokes.

quote:

I know that Lewis Grizzard "borrowed" at least one story from Jerry Clower


Some people (like Lewis) probably get a pass for being very likable, enjoyable people that DO have a frick ton of good, clever, funny original material. Even if every joke Lewis ever told was a ripoff, he's still a funny arse dude. Schumer isn't funny regardless of where the material comes from. Her being funny using other people's material is even lower.

I agree. Dennis Leary stole the whole "Im an a-hole" schtick from Bill Hicks after he died and built a huge career off of it.

There weren't a-hole comedians before Bill Hicks? You people have a warped view of what constitutes original material. Reusing a fundamental theme and/or style that has been around for many years isn't stealing. Every comedian doesn't have to reinvent the wheel.

What set Hicks apart was his intelligence and ability to have a nugget of incredibly insightful in at times profound ways inserted into his routine. It is something that is rare to be able to do effectively and it is what sets apart the truly great comedians like Hicks, Carlin, and most recently Burnham imo. I guess what most people find insightful is pretty subjective though.

Watch earlier Leary material if you can find it and google Joe Rogan, Louis CK, etc all talking about it. It's fairly obvious.

I don't think anyone is wanting to see her boobs.

Her unattractiveness starts with her personality. She chooses to wear clothes that as an earlier poster states perfectly, makes her look like a sausage spilling out of its casing.

Everything about her is gross. She chooses to magnify her grossness by politicizing her failed comedy attempts.

People like her and you are why America is failing.

The first time I saw her, she was on a roast on Comedy Central and she was actually pretty funny. I saw her another few times and thought she had some decent jokes and I still laughed. But over the years, I've found her less and less funnier. To me, she's now less funny than ever before.


This is because when she started out, she was dating Anthony Jeselnik and he wrote material for her. He is actually funny, she is not.

Oh honey. That is one unflattering ensemble on her body type. That outfit just draws attention to all of her problem spots.







She woulda been better off in something like this






Not a Schumer fan. Only reason I tolerated Trainwreck was because of the sports angle. That gets taken away and it's a complete shite show.

I've4 seen multiple posts lauding Lisa Lampanelli for being original and much funnier.

She is hardly hot and to my knowledge has not shown her boobs.

Consider your faulty premise exposed.
