Ahead of her Oscar hosting gig, lesniara_t asks if it's okay to finally admit he likes Amy Schumer.
Her 2019 Netflix specialis a perfect example of Schumer trying to take criticisms seriously. Recorded in Chicago during her tough pregnancy, it includes less farting and puking sounds, less smelly body parts content and much more substance, storytelling and, most importantly, laughs. Her jokes about drinking wine while pregnant had me and my hard-to-please Scottish partner in actual stitches. I’m not saying that the special didn’t include any eyebrow-raising moments at all, but 99% of them do.
Schumer’s attempts at self-deprecating humor don’t seem to land well with a large chunk of the general public. I always thought that self-deprecation was the way to go, especially at the beginning of one’s career. People don’t like those who feel superior and think too highly of themselves. They want to see that others fuck up too, that none of us are perfect.
As a gay man, I identify with a lot of topics included in Schumer’s comedy. Even though she discusses unrealistic beauty standards for women, the hypersexuality straight men tend to demand from their female partners or the general miseries of sex, I can relate to a lot of her material. Being a naïve 18-year-old at a party and holding a champagne flute like it’s literally too heavy? That rings a bell.
Is Trevor Noah disgusting for telling the audience he threw up blood after a night out in Scotland? Is Ricky Gervais tasteless for patiently describing how his testicles started hanging lower as he aged? I am not trying to say that everyone should find Amy Schumer funny. But in 2022, we should at least hold her to the same standard as other comedians. You think her comedy is trash? All of it? If so, I don’t think it’s her comedy you have a problem with.
