"Who knew feminist could be funny? (Amy Schumer Post)"
Mon Mar-31-14 10:20 AM by Buddy_Gilapagos

  

          

Alright I have skipped her show for a while because I pegged her as another "cute white girl saying outrageous things" comedy. I thought she was funny but wasn't really breaking any new ground.

However, I recently caught a couple of episodes of Inside Amy Schumer and it seems to me that her show is subversive in a way that I didn't really give her credit for.

Check out these skit:

http://www.cc.com/video-clips/h6rjcj/inside-amy-schumer-operation-enduring-mouth---uncensored (women in the workplace)

http://www.cc.com/video-clips/tb1lym/inside-amy-schumer-unpleasant-truths (the wrecklessness and violent nature of men. Could you imagine what women would complain about in a group setting?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCMEPtp3uls (commentary on the superficiality of men; replace the perm with fake boobs and it really could go down like this)

http://www.cc.com/video-clips/2d44by/inside-amy-schumer-pov-porn (the reality of sex with men)

I just think that these sketches all skewer men in a way that can be achieved from a woman's perspective.

And if you think these skits are a good example of feminist comedy because they fail the The Bechdel Test, I thought this was an awesome critique of how women are trained not to accept praise:

http://youtu.be/hzlvDV3mpZw


Not super mind blowning or revolutionary but no one is really doing this. Sarah Silverman's thing is she is as outrageous and as silly as the boys. Mindy Kaling is too boy crazy to be critical of men. Whitney Cummings is just not funny. Tina Fey is in to this sort of commentary but she is a bit of a prude so she doesn't get into the sex stuff.


Anyway, I am a dude so it is inherently suspect for me to praise something as feminist so I was wondering if others thought of the series.

My girl absolutely loves her (and the Broad City girls too) because she likes seeing women in comedy be as filthy and uninhibited as guys are.

And I'm sure that the stuff Shumer hits on resounds with her in a way I could never understand. Hell, like I said, I just laughed & didn't think very deep into it.

Yeah, the first step is "look, we are as raunchy as the boys!"

Silverman, Broad City chicks and a few others do do that. But I don't see a lot of social commentary beyond that.

I do see consistent themes (critical of men) in Schumers work though.

You can almost tell the difference between a show written by females versus men. Same goes for black shows too.

I think she's critical of women too. Although sometimes it's the "look at the dumb shit guys make us do."

Only reason this sticks out is because I remember seeing the OKP thread, then seeing someone post the Slate link and was like "Damn, maybe I am missing out on Broad City."

Written by the same person, maybe she lurks here.

By the way, I called it a while ago but now it's a given that Inside Schumer is honest to gosh funny feminist comedy.

OH CRAP she's laughing at ya'll

"And in the season’s third episode, Schumer barely appears at all. The episode explodes the show’s sketch format to make way for a 19-minute, black-and-white spoof of 12 Angry Men. In this version, the jurors have been tasked with deciding, once and for all, whether Amy Schumer is hot enough to appear on television. The short mirrors the setup of a Season 2 sketch, where men in a Comedy Central focus group debate whether they’d sleep with Schumer, but there’s so much minable material here that it feels more like a running gag than a tired rehash. Schumer cleverly peppers the jury room with male stars known for their off-kilter looks: Jeff Goldblum as the foreman, John Hawkes as the skeptic, and Paul Giamatti as a juror who claims Schumer is “built like a lineman and has Cabbage Patch–like features”—and who ultimately breaks down in tears when he finally admits that Schumer is hot enough to stir his loins. The result is a brilliant critique of the absurd gulf between Hollywood beauty standards and real-life sexual attraction. “Maybe she doesn’t have to not be on TV at all,” one juror suggests of Schumer, a 33-year-old buxom blonde. “Maybe she could play somebody like a wacky neighbor, or a divorced obese woman with a funny dog.”"

She can be silly/shocking, too, but even then there is a feminist undercurrent.

pretty soon.

They already feel some kind of way about her making a traditional RomCom.
