re: this Amy Schumer joke stealing business is getting good

Here's Rogan basically defending Schumer LINK and here he is going off on Carlos Mencia LINK. There's a big difference in his tone. I've seen some people say comedians are mostly sticking up for Schumer because she's white, some people are saying its because she's Jewish, some people are saying its because she's related to a senator. I don't know the reason but its odd seeing the stand up community's reaction to her compared to Mencia.

This is the kind of stuff that brought Carlos Mencia down. Dude was white hot, had a successful show on CC and a stand-up special until Rogan called him out.
It didn't help that Mencia was stealing Bill Cosby jokes.

Who cares where they get their jokes? Make me laugh, dammit.

Rogan is buddies with her, most of the others want roles in train wreck 2 or her shitty TV show. The women who she stole from who then magically deleted all their tweets about it were likely threatened by the Jewish mafia that they'd never work again.

Cognitive dissonance at its finest...

Probably outkicked her coverage getting a show, movie deals, etc. I guess this could happen to anyone that uses writers for the majority of their content. Still, most of these are pretty clearly lifted.

Schumer may be funnier, but Whitney Cummings is hotter.... as is Natasha Leggerio...

You could make that argument for her show. That would explain why her head writer is going off. The stand up jokes are all on her though.

Good point

This video showing how Amy Schumer blatantly steals jokes was apparently made by someone on reddit.
Would this be considered plagiarism?
I honestly don't find her to be funny. I saw about 20 minutes of that train wreck movie on a flight a couple of months ago before I concluded it was aptly named and turned it off.

This most obvious ones are from the show with a staff of writers. The stand up is all parallel thinking imo

The poster for that was stolen from a always sunny in Philadelphia promo also

Some of which she claimed as her own original ideas years ago:

If she is a liberal she is not stealing jokes. She is redistributing them.

I'd be willing to bet those were the bits they were promoting and it's a better story for a late night show that she came up with them in a hot tub in Vegas as opposed to a staff of writers created them.

Which is fine.
You pay for the joke/skit, it's yours.
She wasn't doing that.

Yeah, because God knows Jewish comedians are scarce as hell.

Humph...he even acknowledges that most comics are taking a different approach with her, "kid's gloves" as he says.
I wouldn't say she is entirely to blame for stuff on the show that has a staff of writers, unless she tries to claim all things come from her mind somehow.
But if she's ripping off stand up bits for her own stand up shows, which appears to be the case in some instances...that is entirely on her.
