Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.
