Amy Schumer on finding self confidence

[MisterCreosote]

I'm offended by her unfunniness.

 

[YankeeFan]

Pretty funny.

Yeah, but it leads to what happened in Charleston, and turns women into helpless victims:

The commonality here is white women who are trading on the fear of men of color as unclean pillagers of virtue. That fear has been exploited to justify decades of racial terrorism, including as recently as two weeks ago when witnesses said Charleston shooter Dylann Roof killed nine worshippers at the historically black Emmanuel A.M.E church after telling them that "you rape our women." This type of benevolent sexism doesn't just damage men of color, but hurts white women, too. It suggests that they're helpless and delicate and in need of saving. It robs them of their agency.

Doesn't know what you're talking about...

Someone needs to get laid.

 

[YankeeFan]

Someone needs to get laid.

Way to pile on with a misogynistic joke on top of a racist joke.

You're terrible.

 

[MisterCreosote]

I think I've mentioned this before, but she's trying to be Dave Chappelle.

And she's failing. Badly.

Chappelle's racial satire was hilarious. Her's isn't satire and isn't particularly funny.

Meh. I found it funny.

 

[YankeeFan]

Meh. I found it funny.

I just hope you can live with yourself, knowing that your approval of jokes like this led to what happened of Charleston.

 

[JackReacher]

Thearpy is on the table, but I'll try to fight through this one on my own. Let's all pray.

She does seem to be struggling in her career.

 

[JackReacher]

I'm stunned that MC doesn't find Amy Schumer funny.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

I'm sure her career is blowing up specifically because of her extremely pedestrian observations about Latino culture.

Someone else needs to get laid.

Have you watched her show? Some pretty creative skits. She's mostly making fun of men, women and herself.

 

[MisterCreosote]

I don't have two ****s to rub together about her in general.

The shtick quoted above is most certainly mediocre, at best, however.

It's one joke in a stand-up. She's no Anthony Jeselnik, but she's pretty funny.

 

[YankeeFan]

Are you suggesting someone's marriage is a sham!!

 

[Vombatus]

How does one rub two ****s together?

That sounds like a zen koan.

 

[MisterCreosote]

It's one joke in a stand-up. She's no Anthony Jeselnik, but she's pretty funny.

Then I'm sure she'll do just fine without my fandom.

 

[YankeeFan]

MC is not demanding anyone else agree with his position!

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Then I'm sure she'll do just fine without my fandom.

Please don't tell me you find Mitch Hedberg funny.

 

[Vombatus]

Has Amy done a bit about Rachel Dolezal? I'd like to hear anyone's jokes on that radioactive hot mess.
