Inside Amy Schumer

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'm not going to go to far into bashing this show because it isn't bad but it just doesn't make you laugh... and well I guess for a comedy that is bad. Some of the premises are slightly funny but everything is way to predictable. Its a show where if there is nothing else on you'll watch it and it'll past the time for 30 min.

The target audience for this show is probably females around the same age as Amy. Perhaps that's why I don't relate to this show because her jokes seem so gender specific. So if your a girl raise my points by 3 or 4 and that'll probably be what its worth for you.

I mainly wrote this review because of the review on the first page. Really this show is better than Dave Chappelle? REALLY?!? This show can't hold a candle to Dave and neither can she as a comedian.

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 mean, sometimes she is funny, and don't get me wrong, making fun of people is funny... but she turns everything so far left its hard to watch. let me rephrase that, impossible to watch. I only give her a two because every once in a while she drifts back into the normal realm, you know, where you can see a person who is a little plus sized not freak about people identifying her as a little chubby. like saying that guy has dark hair. Remember really funny comedians? back in the day, they didn't discriminate, they made fun of everybody.. recently I went to Vegas and was dragged to a Carrot Top show (kicking and screaming) I have never laughed so hard in my life, go read his reviews. If you compare him to Amy, she would have a negative number, but if you are into the whole, "I need my safe space", then you will love Amy Schumer.

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?
