AmySchumer is one of the greatest comedic minds of our generation, and i honestly believe that her latest special has cemented her among the all-time greats of comedy : heres why.
She has expertly fabricated an entirely ironic character that satirizes bad comedy. What's really genius is after creating her Persona she has begin to deconstruct the wide spread and pervasive "bad" comedy that can be found in most popular culture outlets, like the internet, or teevee.
She is likely three levels of ironic past anywhere you have EVER been. Jokes like
"My pussy smells like a barnyard animal, okay"
show the feminist struggle to reform and change culturally embedded axioms of comedy. Before our very eyes the paradigm is shifting, under several layers of irony that are only detectable by the patrician among us.
She is literally, with every joke, deconstructing patriarchal comedy, and making us ask deep in our hearts, what is actually funny in this nihilistic and unforgiving world?
Any more questions?
