I watched some of Amy Schumer's early stuff and it was ok, but recently she's just getting better and better.

I remember a video of Christopher Hitchens arguing that women aren't funny.
I can't believe how many times Amy proved how full of shit this dude was. And she's far from being alone.

laughing...

TBF, Hitchens argument wasn't that women can't be funny or even that individual women aren't funny.

He was saying that humour is viewed as an attractive trait in men, therefore there is an evolutionary pressure on men to be funny. Women don't have this pressure because men tend to select a mate based on looks more than humour. As a result of this, women don't have to be funny to procreate and the average woman is less likely to be funny

Where it falls down for me is in two factors:
1: being funny is not necessarily a genetic trait that can be passed on
2: even if it is a genetic trait, surely all these funny men would have funny offspring regardless of gender.

Amy is not funny. She just has better writers now. Her stand-up routines and old comedy is terri-bad.

So do you think the skits are funny?

You commented on one of her skits: "Is she really killing it, or is simply that the dearth of true comedy lately has lowered our standards to this point?"

making me think you think her skits are shit, but then you've since commented on two different videos that shes not funny but then give credit to her writers as if they are the ones responsible for her funny skits. Seems contradictory a bit. Why give credit to her writers if you think its shit comedy?

Tell us whats really going on with you and Amy? PM me if you dont want to talk about it publicly

Her body should tell her face to lose weight too.

You're telling us...that from a distance, drunk, without your glasses she doesn't give you a reasonable chub?

What gave it away, genius, the exercise bikes?

You mean does she at least deserve an exploratory tug?

To clarify, I still don't find her skit humor really funny. However, it is better than her own act and therefore could lead people to find it funny. I don't have anything against her personally, I just don't think she is funny.

Painful

There are more examples, but why bother? In the end it's just my opinion.

I just really like hearing Billy Nye curse!
