Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact

I've been a big Amy Schumer fan for a long time. Saw her onstage before Covid, before she had the family. She was already a star. And she was awesome. Sharp and full of smart jokes and energy.

But she clearly stopped practicing her craft in the last few years. After ten minutes I stopped watching this. Because I saw an insecure, unpracticed comedienne using hackneyed jokes with lame delivery and amateurish tags. And then she went for a laugh by making a chipmunk face, and I just cringed. This is really disappointing. She was such a great joke writer and performer. But standup is clearly not her top priority anymore. But when that contract is still there, well....

This was just Amy Schumar coming out to have a chat to the audience. You can hear the audience laugh, but, at what? I didn't manage to laugh, or even chuckle once, at anything she said during this under an hour, or an over the time limit, 30 minute failure.

No, I'm not an Amy hater, but this stand-up is not worthy of being called one. The audience deserves their money back and the viewer can never get back that 50 mins of waiting to hear something funny, but instead, just Amy gloating about herself and shelling out filler after filler.

This is where this review should end, but I need 22 more characters and ... oh, done!

If you're chronica;ly depressed and unhappy with your appearance and your life, why go on stage and show it to everyone. Of course, some people (Woody Allen, Joan Rivers) could do it and do it well, but it's really hard and that's nowhere in evidence than in this depressing demonstration. What's worse, if anything could be worse, she's not very funny. She got a few snickers and one or two laughs, but otherwise it seemed to be like listening to a boring person at a cocktail party drone on about their life. If you're not ready, why do it? Even the audience is only luke warm, which speaks volumes itself.

Is she there on some sort of quota? One specifically for people called Amy Schumer? I don't understand how she keeps on creating these unfunny specials and keeps on getting gigs like life and beth. She has to be the most unfunny comedian out there and is literally somehow stealing opportunities from people who actually have some talent and are not a propped up character that people HAVE to find funny (rotten tomatoes has a 100% positive reviews for this torturous special). Probably shouldn't have watched it in the first place but oh god the 100% positive reviews thing got the better of me and I thought I could finally see what these media executives see in Amy and her wit, never again though can't put myself through her forced "jokes" and I hope media execs realise she is just a big name with nothing to show for it.

Amy was never funny. This movie should be banned from viewing, internationally. Why is Amy famous,? Why is Tina Fey famous? They are so unfunny, corny, and annoying. Please stop them from movies. The movie, It's a abomination. Her entire career is a abomination. If Any makes one more movie, I will pull my own hair out, by the roots. The people in the movie theater were saying how unfunny and kame the movie was. I went because my White friend wanted me to come. She's so nice and annoying, so I went. I should get her to give me my money back for the ticket into the movie. I work two jobs. So I slept about an half an hour, because the movie is a waste of time, money, and energy. Don't do it, you guys. Thank me later.
