Maybe it's just me but it really feels like Schumer's star is fading. She was talked about alot from 2013-2016 but for some reason it's like she's "out" right now.
It's almost as if comedy has a very fickle paying audience and comics can't really find a balance between "getting booked for the best shows" and "selling out" because the latter dilutes the brand. Schumer is Dane Cook, we're all just over it now.
Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are funny too, at least in TV and movies. I'm still just not crazy about any of their standup. idk, maybe the hollywood people just don't look for stage presence or whatever in female comics.
Yeah, this is something about Tina Fey I don't really understand. She's a fantastic comedy writer and a decent actress, but her stand-up comedy routines are just... okay.
You didn't even highlight the worst ones on that god awful list. Rhea Butcher and Cameron Esposito are the least funny comedians possibly on the planet. Natasha Leggero is one note and insanely hack. Some of the people on that list that do seem to be funny aren't even really comedians, they're comedy writers.
It’s fine if you don’t think she is funny. I don’t find her funny either. But if she is selling out massive venues because other people find her funny, can you really argue that she is objectively unfunny? As for the joke stealing I agree with you.
I seen her live at the Comedy store in 2011, she was really funny. Doing specials know means you have to produce content so much. Shes a funny broad trust me.

Meanwhile as an Abbi and Ilana fan...

yeah I’m pretty sure she’s done
Her career peaked by making one rom-com that nobody even talks about

I feel like walking through 1986 Chernobyl.

I'm guessing because she's better at writing and acting? 🔬

Amy Schumer is demonstrably unfunny and a joke thief.
Prove me wrong or I'll punch myself in the head IRL.

Yes. Stupid people exist in large numbers. They buy her tickets because they're stupid and stupid people laugh at unfunny comedians.
1 darklightrabbi 2018-01-07
Seems like you have it all figured out
1 SluttyWhatWhatSlut 2018-01-07
thanks you too

I think "12 angry men inside of Amy Schumer" was hilarious (but her acting role in it was minimal)

That whole season was great.

I was more referring to all the racist garbage in your post history when I asked you that.

I see, so you're a bigot then

Mindy Kaling is not funny, Ali Wong and Matia Bamford are. Shit Natashia Leggero is hilarious too.

Regular reminder that Amy Schumer pulled a Brock Turner.
