way OT: Inside Amy Schumer - 12 Angry Men parody

[eddief]

One of the funniest, best done comedy things I have ever seen. If you get a chance, would enjoy hearing opinions.

[gasman]

I saw it the other day and thought it was an excellent parody of the original film. They got some big name actors for it also. A bit raunchy for those who haven't seen it.

[ptourkin]

Her Friday Night Lights parody was also spot on.

I am continually impressed by the level of sophistication in her humor. It is definitely enjoyable on a superficial raunchy level (better than most comedians). But there is a lot more social critique going on as well. I saw her stand up show a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it.

My understanding is that she is extremely well respected in her field, as evidenced by the big names willing to appear on her sketch show. :hello:

[FlashUNC]

Between her show and the genius of Key & Peele, Comedy Central is on a roll with their sketch shows.

[nooneline]

Yeah. She's killing it. So funny, sharp, and critical all rolled into an excellent package.

Also check out her skit "Last ····able Day."

I have an absolute crush on Amy Schumer. I just about crap my pants laughing so hard at her stand-up routines.

Have you guys seen the Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee episode with her in it?

It's cool on so many levels including the Ferrari Daytona breaking down. :)

I liked the outakes at the end. I'm watching and said to my wife the dildoes were a different color than in the show.
Then it dawned on me that we had been watching in Black and White and the outakes were in color.
Old man brain fart.:)

She has very good reason to be very proud of that work.

Been an Amy fan for a long time and she's really on top of her game right now. Her stand-up is killin' it everywhere and her parodies are so on point it's scary.
The Schumer Show, Key&Peele and Broad City have Comedy Central at the top of comedy crop right now.

Was that Amy Schumer? I thought it was a garden gnome!

Really great show and that episode was brilliant (for basic cable)!

[cloudguy]

Watched it twice - hilarious both times. Loved the math proof on the chalkboard showing Amy = Reasonable Chub.

So you think she is hot enough for basic cable? Even with her cabbage-patch-like features?

Amy already covered that.

A Kate Upton she is not, but she's a hell of a lot funnier! :)

There's a pretty great moment in her episode of the Seinfeld thing (drinking coffee, riding in cars, etc) where she actually talks about being seated at a table with Kate Upton once and how there was no use trying to be funny or smart in that situation because nobody could focus on anything but Kate Upton. And how someone afterwards said to her that Kate Upton was funny, which had she and Seinfeld in near hysterics...

My cable guide listed it as "12 Angry Men Inside Amy Schumer". :banana:

[cmg]

funny stuff, way to hold up a mirror.

[bironi]

Thanks. I had not seen her show. Loved it.

Her humor and intellect are pretty damn sexy if you ask me.

[Seramount]

the 12 Angry Men spoof was excellent...

the original movie is one of my all-time faves, they really captured the essence of it.

and fwiw, in the parody movie vein...I watched the 1957 b/w movie 'Zero Hour' (Dana Andrews) last nite.

I had NO idea it was the basis for the comedy classic 'Airplane'...and I consider myself to be a movie buff...large parts of the dialogue in Airplane are lifted directly from ZH.

who knew...?
