    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 honest though she might consider sending some of her residuals to Sarah Silverman.

Her own stand up is proof of that,and I will continue to watch each week and see what she brings next as the funny parts are hilarious and worth the price of admission of sitting through the ones that are not.… Expand

    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.

    Inside Amy Schumer is often jumbled and half-formed, but when the show hits its stride, Schumer's comedic potential is fully realized. Most of the best sketches are up on YouTube, so I'd suggest you just watch those instead.

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

    Show was painful to watch. Not very funny, pretty bland in general. She likes to speak as if she is the spokesperson for women when she's only speaking for herself.

    This is the kind of show I was waiting for since middle school but never found til now. Props to Comedy Central for finding her and giving her a show. She has a lot of talent and her topics and skits are exactly the kind of humor I think in my head all day. Love it! Some of her humor takes a second to sink in but once it does your left feeling lighter and giddier with a twist!

    Inside Amy is by far the worse comedy I have ever seen on television. Not funny at all. Very boring. Amy should be arrested for putting this show on television and wasting millions of hours of American lives. This show will be canceled soon because of how bad it is.

    Of all the new comedian-driven shows Comedy Central has put out in the last year, Inside Amy Schumer ranks second only to Nathan for You in being worthy of renewal.

Her typical brand of self-effacing, sexually frank, and femme-centric comedy drives the best sketches to genuinely hilarious heights. As a bonus, her "on the street" segues, stand-up setups and surprising interviews are infused with the same humor, but with an honesty and rapport that almost elevate them above said best sketches. Of course, being a sketch comedy show, not every bit is going to hit for everyone. "I fart when I'm scared," and "I'm okay w/ your AIDS," showcase how bad the show can be, especially when it veers away from what makes Amy Schumer's comedy work in the first place. Worse, the bad sketches seem to stretch on far longer than the good ones, as if the writers know it's not very good but "if we just keep hammering we''ll eventually hit." The show ultimately suffers from this mentality. The foundation is there for a great show, period, with so many qualities and working elements; but, until they recognize when they have a dud, trim overlong bits that only work in spots, and improve the quality of material outside of Amy's comfort zone, the show will just be good. Here's hoping they address the issues and shoot for greatness next season.… Expand

    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.

    It's only been three episodes but so far I am extremely impressed with Inside Amy Schumer. I've found myself laughing out loud many times watching this show and look forward to each week's new episode. It truly is hilarious.

    The scripted segments are more often than not funny, though you'll find a few fall flat. Amy herself is a bold comedian and her sense of humor is always there. Usually my favorite parts of the episodes are the interviews. I expect, if given the chance, the show will only improve. 7.5/10

    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. Talent? Average. No more than any smart person. She's just very lucky.

    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.

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

    Its kind off a running joke how bad this show is. I said to myself, let me not be biased and actually give the show a chance, after episode one i felt like i lost what remaining IQ i have. I urge you to watch at least one episode its almost funny how not funny this is.

    If I wanted to watch comedy this stupid I would rather watch Fanboy and Chum Chum. It’s like they either don’t try to make something good or just try way too hard.

    All I need to say is that the ranking for this show even being in the same ballpark as Chappelle's Show is truly disturbing. That's how you know you can take the critic reviews with a grain of salt. Anyone who ranks Schumer's brain-dead garbage slightly below what was arguably the most fresh and celebrated modern sketch comedy show, surely has something wrong with them.

    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.

    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.

    Schumer is brash, outspoken, bold, raunchy and tomboyish enough to fit right in and her show is often quite funny for viewers (especially men) who are not easily offended.
