Inside Amy Schumer

"Inside Amy Schumer" is a disappointing venture, missing the mark on delivering sharp, consistent comedy. The sketches often rely on tired stereotypes and predictable punchlines, failing to provide the fresh, edgy humor promised. Schumer's performance lacks the cleverness and nuance needed to elevate the material, resulting in many sketches that feel forced and unoriginal. The show's pacing is erratic, with some segments dragging on too long while others are abruptly cut short. Overall, "Inside Amy Schumer" falls flat, lacking the wit and creativity expected from a standout comedy series. It's a missed opportunity for genuine laughs.

Amy Schumer has been doing this whole: "hey I'm talking about sex and my vagina and sex in my vagina" type of comedy for years now and for whatever reason, she hasn't caught on that it's just not funny. Nor is it appealing. Plenty of female comics have done this sort of topic before but for some reason it's just extra unappealing when Amy Schumer does it. She's just gross. Gross humor can be funny but Amy Schumer just can't pull it off. It's almost like she thinks this is the comedy that we want her to do. Well I don't, at least. Her popularity has been in a steady decline for the last ten years or so but her material just hasn't changed at all.

Even the title of the show is gross. Not the funny kind of gross either. She used to be the kind of edgy, sharp jab comedian who would catch you off guard with some witty material but now it just seems tired and worn out. Like a prize fighter who fights for decades and at the end of their career they still think they can fight the same way they did when they were in their prime. Except Amy Schumer was never at the top exactly. Maybe in her mind she is or perhaps someone in Hollywood is feeding her something that is reinforcing the notion that this sort of material works for her. She didn't used to gross me out like she does now but I can hardly look at her face anymore without recoiling in disgust. Seeing her comedy is like accidentally witnessing your grandparents doing 69 in the bed you use when you come to visit them. Yeah it's memorable alright but you sure wish it weren't.

I tried to watch it, I really did. She is not funny at all This show is droll, un-creative and un-imaginative. Apparently she thinks that verbally abusing a child and making thinly veiled political statements will make folks laugh. Spoiler alert: it will not. Much like Sarah Silverman, Amy's attempts at shocking humor fall well short. I don't think she has had an original thought in years. I seriously feel like Amy has passed her prime and all she can do is regurgitate tired rhetoric. She has built a brand around being offensive and continues to push the "dumb blond" stereotype. Advise? Try and think of something that is actually funny.

I loved Amy Schumer as a contestant on Last Comic Standing -- she always nailed her routines. She's always entertaining as a talk show guest. The first three seasons of her show had hits and misses, with the hits outnumbering the misses. The fourth season is dreadful. It hasn't made me laugh at all. It's like watching a dirtier, less funny episode of Saturday Night Live. The sketches go on too long and often fall flat. The few decent jokes offer so little payoff that you feel cheated. It's as if she is phoning it in now. It seems like the fame has gone to her head and she no longer relates to her audience (as witnessed by her recent fan interactions).

Well, if this show is a representation of what it's like to be "Inside Amy Schumer", then I suggest one bring lube cause it really is bone dry. Not in a Demetri Martin sense of dry, just...dry. I'm no prude, I love a good dirty joke, her show just seems to ONLY rely on that and that alone. Her sketches are about as decent as her stand up, which isn't saying much. There's not really much to say about a show that doesn't have much material other than sex, sex, and more humorless topics concerning, you guessed it... sex. The show basically is promoting slut pride, I mean, to each their own, but if you're going to create a sketch comedy show, maybe touch upon other things besides how incredibly promiscuous you are?
