Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact

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.

I don't like Amy Schumer, I don't think she's very good at her job. However, I watch her specials in the way someone might watch a low budget B movie. I like gawking and cringing at a bad piece of media - who doesn't? Her leather special was so bad it almost came full circle around to being accidentally funny. This special doesn't come close to that. There's nothing interesting, funny, or noteworthy about this special, accidental or intended. This is the auditory equivalent of a saltine cracker without the salt. I've never heard a comedian with less energy on stage, with weaker delivery, or with a lack of jokes. This was like a live 50 minute (couldn't even make it an hour long!) podcast, rather than a standup comedy special.

No laughs were had, nor smiles. There were a couple sighs and eye rolls but that was about it. At least the leather special was so gross and off-putting it brought a little emotion out of me, even if it was to cringe/laugh at how bad the jokes were instead of at the jokes themselves. This special elicits absolutely nothing. Some of the joke premises had potential but are immediately squandered by perhaps the worst delivery I've heard from a standup comedian. It's like a living AI onstage, operating under the prompt: "be a female Louis CK".

This special is unbelievably dry, bland, drab, and has no rhythm or flow. She's just saying words. At least this time she's not talking about her bodily fluids the entire time, although that was the only thing that made the last specials interesting; otherwise this is nothing more than just dull, unfunny standup comedy.

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.

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.
