Inside Amy Schumer

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.

"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.

They just started repairing it on Comedy Central and I thought I'd give a shot while working. I already had a pre-existing idea of Amy Schumer not being funny from her stand up, and this isn't changing my opinion of her comedy. This sketch comedy show is very bland and seems to be trying to force jokes out with randomness and sexual humor. There doesn't seem to really be a punchline out of those two options for the show. It structures itself like an episode of Robot Chicken, but it tries to keep itself in a semi-reality form where the jokes all revolve around her trying too hard to be funny and jokes about her love live that doesn't seem to do anything.

I often wonder how much 'professional' critics get paid as Schumer seems to have a few too many positive reviews. I can understand some liking her, we are all different, but the media coverage and the sheer number of positive coverage seems somewhat odd.

Shocking and puerile seems to be her go-to with the same 'joke' repeated again and again (and again). Difficult to understand why she has had the leg up from the media to such an extent.

Garbage and a real step back to some of the great female comediennes. I guess between Schumer and McCarthy the future of female comedienne role models is down the toilet.
