Amy Schumer on finding self confidence

[93Devil]

Rickles is fantastic, and Louis CK goes down to the depth of Rickles more than you would think.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

I give Schumer an A for effort. But like MC, I don't think she's that funny.
I like her, but not really funny. Ha Ha funny, anyway.

That's gonna set off the AdSense alarms.

 

[Buck]

I think she's pretty good.
I think she's over-hyped right now, but she's still pretty funny - both stand-up and the sketch show.
I think Louie CK is over-hyped right now, too, but he's still funny.

 

[Riptide]

Tim Tebow wouldn't.

She lives on the street behind me, about 200 yards max. If I stand on a chair and strain to see through the top corner of my window, I can see a tiny sliver of her back yard. It's my dream to randomly run into her in our neighborhood and nonchalantly invite her to join us for a drink. Not that I'm stalking her or anything #girlcrush

And thus begins my writing project.

When she posts a nude picture of herself, it's called "brave." When I do it, it's called "creepy." MAKE UP YOUR MIND, INTERNET!

 

[Alma]

She's really good in stand-up and an excellent interview.

Sketch show is fine. She's a mediocre actor.

 

[cjericho]

Tim Tebow wouldn't.

Not even with Rick Stain's ----.

Boom. End of discussion!

It's the clown mask and diaper that put you over the top.

So can I call her curvy?

I feel a little guilty for not thinking she's all that and bag of Doritos. Sometimes she's very funny, sometimes she wanders into territory that makes me uncomfortable. I'm not gonna take one for the Daisy League Softball League in the name of feminism, so I like what I like of her comedy then strike up what I don't to personal preferences and excuse myself from being a dissenting voice (most of the time.)

The whole "I'm such a beast" shtick gets old. I know she's not a size zero, but she is very pretty and she knows it. Take the Annie Leibovitz picture. First of all, it's va-voomish and funny at the same time. She's provocatively dressed, or rather undressed, and yet she's sitting in a way guaranteed to make her stomach pooch out and give her rolls. Her expression, the coffee cup, the whole thing is goofy and funny. If I were a straight man or a gay woman, I'd probably love that picture.

A friend wrote a response to Janeane Garafolo's comedy many years ago and I think it applies today. To wit, she said when people like Garafolo (and by extension Schumer) talk about being unattractive, it's the comedy equivalent to the cheerleader who stretches out at her desk and wails, "I'm so fat!" If she's right, where does that leave people who really did lose the cosmetic genetic lottery?

Really? Facially, although by no means unattractive, I don't think she's classically "pretty" at all. (Ugh. I hate being in this position, judging someone's attractiveness.) I think that she presents herself well and has a great personality.

Yeah, I wouldn't call her "very pretty," but she's not unattractive -- especially with that bangin' personality! Now allow to step off this slippery slope.

 

[OscarMadison]

"Pretty" is subjective. And not to derail the conversation further, but sometimes I look at the beauty du jour and think, "Hunh? She's okay." Chocolate, vanilla, tomayto, tomahto...

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Scarlett Johansson, meh.
