Women aren't socially engineered to be funny

Pathetic. Cult of celebrity. The future will laugh at us. The past is laughing at us.

Celebrities getting big advances and selling lots of books isn't new

Not literature

>>7150358
who cares about bourgeois white woman feminism. It's utter trash

>>7150360
amy schumer is pretty funny.

It's notable only in that this is the book where she admits to shoving rocks up her little cousins pussy

>>7150358
>comedienne gets a big book deal because she's popular

Stop the presses.

>>7150606
Seconding this. I was pleasantly surprised by her show. That bit where she satirized rapist football players was great.

>>7150358
Anyone else wanna pork her as bad as I do? Her ass and thighs probably jiggle fucking beautifully.

>>7150358
Amy Schumer isn't funny - why is she popular?

>>7150686
Is this Lena Dunham-core? Fat lesbian confesses to fiddling their cousins-core?

>99% of her jokes revolve around her disgusting sex life and how she lets random men pork her
>even the one rare joke that isn't about her fucking dudes is about her friends fucking dudes which she then uses to transition to a joke about her fucking dudes

And they're not even well written.

I wish I was dumb celebrity that got a big advance.
They'd be all, "write something about relationships," or like with Schumer, "write about your childhood."
I'd take the $8 million and cancel all my tours and move into a cottage in the Swiss alps for eight months and write my magnum opus, having taken the word "essay" very seriously.
Then when it hits the editor's table it's just a mess of pseudophilosophical drivel that reads like Heidegger jerked off into Montaigne's mouth and let it sit there for a few weeks.
Then I'd still be a dumb celebrity but the book would probably get published and I'd have been paid to do what I dreamed of my whole life.

>>7150358
>Schumer’s childhood, how she got her big break in comedy, her family and feminism
So as long as she writes about feminism it's suddenly a collection of essays, not just an autobiography? Is feminism the go-to resort/card that any hack or clown can write about to be taken seriously?

>>7152010
I don't have an opinion on whether or not her book will be good but I would absolutely fuck that. Probably because I'm high test.

she's got herself a really punch able face

>>7150844
I watched the first thirty minutes and it was completely typical of female 'humour' - derivative, hysterical about feminine sexuality whilst remaining clueless about masculinity, clumsy in its satire and dull. If a male writer had tried something as banal as gender-swapping hooters into 'nutters' they'd have been thrown out of the room and not invited back. And these are her BEST? Jesus.

3/10

She looks like a peasant.

>>7150358
I would totally fuck her, but I don't think my judgment about women is the best since I would fuck even a keyhole in a big door.

Yes, improperly

I would fuck her in the dark if she was freshly bathed. She looks nice and smooth. Fat actually feel pretty good if it isn't lumpy.

>>7150358
>>7152010
Are these examples of her physical comedy?

There are plenty of funny women out there, but too often they resort to sex. Sex and self deprecation is her shtick. Big woop

Typical British humour is normally subtle and based of awkward real life situations, not just outrageous stories and gags. Compare the English Inbetweeners to the American Inbetweeners for a cherry picked example in difference. I'm not saying everything the Brits shit out is funny, and it really isn't, but it's certainly a harder comedy to pull off, rather than just random offensive lines.

See People Just Do Nothing for a good example of British humour being done right.

>>7153898

>>7153908
Based Hichens.

Schumer is still probably the best female stand up I've seen, but that isn't saying much....

The people who say she's "leading" comedy or that women are on the "upswing' are idiots.

Her jokes are either bad, contrived, or unoriginal for the most part. She gets minimal credit.

As far as new comedians go, I'm more interested in Bo Burnham, content wise, structurally and originality wise he's far above a lot of people.

>>7153908
Bit of a retarded argument. "If women are funny it's because they use male humor". What on earth is male humor?

>>7153921
I'm pretty sure what he means to say is that the "humor" in a lot of female comics is along the lines of:
>He he he le funny becuz she's a wymyn but she talks like a man!

Its bottom of the barrel pandering, just like fat-humor where you simply act out a persona that is either cliched or opposite of what is expected. It involves no "joking" and more just playing into or outside of a stereotype, not much effort needed.

>>7153924
I'm sure if a female standup started talking about politics and philosophy on stage he'd just have said: "those are just male subjects, sweetheart! try again"

He seems to imply that if something is funny then eo ipso it's male humor

I'm probably not using eo ipso correct :^)

>>7153930
One way or another, his central premise is accurate. Women comedians are fewer, and the ones that arise highest are still on a lower level than their male counterparts.

Schumer is average at best, deal with it.

>>7153924
the only way women will get any recognition in an industry dommed by men is by imitating men

>>7153950
I think she's shit too.
>the ones that arise highest are still on a lower level than their male counterparts.
He doesn't say that. There CAN be great female comedians. But yeah, there's not enough incentive for them. That seems to be his argument.
You seem to be implying that a could never be funnier than a man if both were on the top of their game

>>7153960
You're misunderstanding. Imitating a man as a woman produces low brow comedy because of the dissonance of sight / effect. The preconcieved notions of what/how a woman talks are subverted by talking "like a man".

Ie. Amy Schumer talking about fucking CONSTANTLY for nearly a whole fucking hour. Hurr durr i love drinking semen and getting gang banged, too bad i had to get an abortion!

The only reason this is "funny" to some people is because its unexpected, it has no observational or clever premise whatsoever and has no real commentary on anything.

"Imitating" male commentary would be emulating observational comedy or anything else. The "comedy" is structural, not content wise. Being masculine is inherently comedic for a woman, just as being feminine is inherently comedic for a man, its just that both are so incredibly simplistic that few ever do the later of the two.

>>7153967
His central premise = men have more incentive than women, thus there are more of them. That's all i mean.

Its conceivable that a great female comedian could come about, but the chances are low due to premise one.

>>7153979
>Its conceivable that a great female comedian could come about, but the chances are low due to premise one.
Good, we agree. Seemed like you were going /r9k/-tier style argument for a second.

>>7153967
There have been too.

Yeah, Hitch was just laying down a challenge.

>>7153979
you fail to see that feminism idealizes the position of men in society and that the feminists just want to have all the pleasures that they THINK men (that they desire) have.

also, feminists does not give a sheet about men that they despise.

feminists are nothing without rape nor their fantasies of men having all the pleasures.

>>7153960
That's because women aren't interested in stand up
