Amy Schumer: Mostly Sex Stuff (2012)

Sadly Over-hyped

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

So many of these jokes have been stolen from less famous comedians and even large youtubers. The fact that this woman is one of the most famous female comedians in America sadness me. She is not only getting a do-whatever-you-want-pass from some feminists in the name of feminism, only for being a slightly overweight, self-proclaimed feminist woman, but is also damaging the reputation of female comedians in general. This nauseating show is so full of plagiarist material it surprises me that it's even legal. I'm done. Hope she tries harder in the future.

When I used to sit on on auditions for HBO, we judged comics on two scales, material and delivery, and this system has held up over the years. If you watch a lot of sets from newcomers, you will see times when the material is better than the comic, and times when the comic is better than the material. When both are working in sync, you have something special. Occasionally, however, you find a comic not only with superb material and great delivery/timing, but someone who has put their imprint on the entire mixture, and created something so unique -- this is the test -- that you cannot imagine anyone else doing it, and getting away with it. Think of the wonderful, late, George Carlin, Think Lewis Black. With Amy Schumer we have a performer that meets this test. Quirky, kinky, idiosyncratic, by the final credits you cannot remember ever seeing anyone else quite like her. The show was great. The potential is great. And here is the kicker, you have to wonder what would happen if she lightened up on the sex humour (which works about 80% of the time, not too shabby) and took a chance doing "pure" comedy. I once caught an mp3 of her (not from this show) talking about taking a dog home for the weekend for a test drive, understanding that, if you bring it back, they will kill it. No it does not sound especially funny but -- the sign of a potentially great comic -- she MADE the 60 seconds of this bit so funny that, once you hear it, you will never forget the punchline. Repeat: a great show, and a comic with a future.

Just a young girl telling random lines supposedly about herself. Non coherent structure and every sentence contains at least one "like". The other thing she thinks is funny is using the F-word a lot. Example: "I was like going to a bar, and they were like yeah come in, and I was like F-yeah." She needs a lot of practice because the stuff she is telling at the stage is not even funny to her. Her expressions are forced or faked. Yhe show might be funny if you are 12, otherwise nah. That is not funny in my opinion. If this is the future of comedy my oh my.... Well F her show: Watch something else. If you decide to watch it: count how many times she uses the word "like" ...

I could not stop laughing after I saw this show. I was just flipping channels on day on TV. I stopped at Comedy Central when I saw this beautiful woman on the screen. I watched it for a few minutes, then I couldn't stop watching it. That's how good this was. Amy Schumer is insanely funny. I understood everything she said. Me and my step-dad watched her show on Comedy Central. It was the uncensored version. We were so happy when it came off of commercial break, and so angry when it went on commercial break. My mom complained about the noise we were making. "I'm sorry mom, this is just too funny." is what I told her. Amy Schumer is very witty, and clever. Everything she says makes perfect sense. I love her. Great Job.P.S: Did I mention she was beautiful?
