Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact

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.

Amy Schumer is the least funniest person I've ever had the displeasure of viewing. The jokes were rubbish, reused and old. Honestly I don't understand why she is even given a platform unless it is to TORTURE the audience.

Please do yourself an HUGE FAVOUR and don't waste your time. It's like poking needles in your eyes listening to her whine.

Really really hope Netflix never gives her another show or I will really have to cancel my subscription.

She should give it a rest and stop trying so hard to push this comedic career because it's genuinely awful and embarrassing.

Running out of space. But don't watch it.

My wife and I are fans of Amy's from back in the day. Over the years her comedy got quite stale unfortunately. Eventually it seemed (to us) that Amy had left comedy to start a family. We figured good for her. She did very well for herself while in the limelight.

Well... She's back.... with a special? We were curious, despite the large amount of distaste she has garnered for herself over the years with some of the biggest names in stand up. We gave it a try.

Nothing relatable out of the gates. L. A. Plastic surgery material from a frumpy wanna-be funny mom? Hard pass. I feel like this was specifically for her friends and family, but thought it was good enough to make some cash from. I'm curious if she actually tried the material out more than a couple times outside her friends and family... This was NOT "special" material by any measure.

Amy uses the exact same comedy beats that she used years ago. The jokes MIGHT be new, but the tired delivery was enough to turn us both off. We did chuckle a couple of times, but we might have just been attempting to find something funny.

In the end we turn it off long before the closing bit. Not worth it at all.

I've seen morgues with more energy than Amy. She looked bored and completely un-interested in performing on stage. It doesn't help that her material is mostly recycled from her previous specials: being fat, plastic surgery, having an autistic husband, and married life. She is a 40 year old woman who acts like she's 80. She talked to an audience member who's almost 30 like she was a toddler. The biggest problem is that Amy just doesn't have anything interesting to say. She tries to make up for boring topics by using quirky voices but ends up taking a dirt nap. I don't blame Amy for this turd, I blame Netflix for still paying this unfunny clown to stink up their platform. Throw this special to the dogs.

The show was absolutely devoid of any humor, even though I started it with a cup of coffee, I ended up dozing off multiple times. Mind you this doesn't happen even when I sit down 5 hours to write my thesis.

Also I hope stakeholders put more thought into deciding who to support for such shows. It would be nicer to have such shows of people who actually get some giggles out of people.

This makes you understand why Amy is so involved in speaking on political issues and being on the wrong side that supports the perishing of innocent civilians. I guess she's trying to escape these atrocities of "entertainment".
