There’s something communal about Schumer’s approach to comedy. It’s not just about punchlines. It’s about conversations. And she makes the women around her seem funnier, just by letting them in on the joke. Some of the best moments happen when she’s interviewing people, inspiring the type of real talk you don’t often get to hear once you’ve outgrown the girls’ locker room. Read full review

Her shrewd, straightforward perspective and her semisweet, offhand attitude make her reflections fresh and relatable. Read full review

In its scripted segments, the series is stylishly produced, and its wit is dry while its tone is bubbly. Not every segment is a hit, but the ones that are deserve to be quoted, repeated and discussed. Read full review

Accompanied by its own behind-the-scenes Web series, Inside Amy Schumer still represents more the promise of talent than one fully realized. Read full review

Schumer’s sharpness comes through best in such moments, when she’s in stand-up mode and taking significant risks beyond the genre’s still-customary boundary lines of gender.... Meanwhile, her sketches and woman-on-the-street interviews with passersby feel burdened with the task of pleasing a male audience (while enlightening them a scoch). Read full review

The good bits are hilarious; the others often kind of just lie there. Read full review

Willa Paskin

Apr 30, 2013

Her persona combines Whitney Cummings’ bawdiness and Mindy Kaling’s entitlement with a self-proclaimed slutty streak (“I am sluttier than your average bear,” she proclaims), a familiar combination that feels original only in flashes. Schumer is sharper than her material. Read full review

Amy is hilarious, her show is hilarious, finally a female comic getting some much due recognition! She is so funny and totally deserves a show on comedy central. All the haters out there need a shot of cum right in the face, yeah that's right, see how much you like it.

I first saw Amy Schumer on the Comedy Central Roasts. She was unbelievably cruel even for the venue. I got over my initial revulsion and watched her new show. It doesn't stray too far from her stand up act. Many will find it crude and offensive. I found it hilarious and brutally honestI first saw Amy Schumer on the Comedy Central Roasts.

I've only seen it a few times, and I wasn't very impressed. I don't think it's awful, but there are a lot more worthwhile comedies out there. I've seen some funny moments, but most of it comes across as bland/cliche comedy. She's very hit and miss, and the show suffers for it.

Schumer might have been "fresh" or funny 50 years ago, but her material is hardly shocking or clever. It's kind of hollow, searching, maybe a little desperate. Her material? Just common jokes you'd here from a bunch of guys hanging around at best. She's a real yawner.

Although I have never been a super-fan of Amy Schumer, I tolerated the 'dumber' sketches on her program and hoped that the show was still finding it's legs. Now that we are on Season 4, I can pretty much safely assume that this is the show. Amy Schumer definitely has some sort of screenAlthough I have never been a super-fan of Amy Schumer, I tolerated the 'dumber' sketches on her program and hoped that the show was still finding it's legs. Now that we are on Season 4, I can pretty much safely assume that this is the show. Amy Schumer definitely has some sort of screen presence, but the writing and concepts of the bits are extremely stupid and uncreative. The main 'joke' of the show (I guess) is getting to see Amy Schumer play various characters (Tracy Ullman, etc.) -- That, unfortunately, is where the comedy starts AND stops. The show is entirely way too reliant on Amy's mugging for the camera in costume. Basically the show is bad and unfunny. It's coasting along but will eventually be cancelled due to waning interest in Schumer's half-baked skits.… Expand

This show really comes across as hollow and extremely desperate. Every skit I watched made me cringe and even feel a little queasy. I felt like I was watching a fat, old clown drunkenly put on a song and dance desperately seeking laughs. Even though "offensive" comedy is the cool new thingThis show really comes across as hollow and extremely desperate. Every skit I watched made me cringe and even feel a little queasy. I felt like I was watching a fat, old clown drunkenly put on a song and dance desperately seeking laughs. Even though "offensive" comedy is the cool new thing Inside Amy seems too little too late. Amy hopelessly chases after the success of her male predecessors (Tosh and Jeselnik) doing these overly offensive skits, problem is these jokes are old now. Most of the jokes lost any shock value about two years ago. Don't waste you're precious time people.… Expand
