Thank you! Why don’t people get comedy? I don’t understand....

have you payed any attention at all to the black people who have chimed in to this comment thread saying that they weren’t offended by her jokes and found them funny? if there were reason to be offended at the “racism” of the sketch, don’t you think they would have picked up on it? or do you think it’s appropriate to…

You are correct Vulpita, Doandroidsdreamofelectricsheep misunderstood the joke. Also what even is “hipster racism?”

Because I’m making fun of you then I must think amy schumer is God. You took quite a leap there. Seems like you do that with a lot of things. Maybe you don’t have the ear for it that others have. If you take a joke literally, it probably won’t seem funny.

Don’t look up! The entire premise of this show is flying over your head at a high rate of speed. Be careful out there!

I thought it was more nuanced than that. I think she felt self-conscious describing the person who helped her as black to the black cashier, so she tried to describe the clothes. The fact that all of the 4 sales guys were wearing basically the same outfit (and looked very similar in other ways; all had short hair,…

By this logic, you are suggesting that only black people are allowed to criticise racism. White people must not even mention it. As in, Schumer’s bits are indeed criticising racism. The idea that a white person is not allowed to make such jokes, but a Jew is allowed to make anti-Semitic jokes or a black person could…

I’m Black and I have the same exact interpretation of that skit that you do. I find the skit hilarious.

Black person here: that skit is HI-LAR-I-OUS.

Ugh the backlash is already happening elsewhere in the comments.

I had a theater background and these types of jokes and scenes spun off from theater of the absurd, which used absurdist premises to draw attention to society’s failings. Comedy is a great way to get people to look at themselves and their ways of thinking, and possibly question it. Who the butt of a joke is is a huge…

No. It’s not. But clearly you’ve decided you want to be deliberately obtuse and contrarian so this is a pointless discussion

Well honestly I’m glad to see I didn’t offend you. I’m just trying to learn how to avoid doing that. I wouldn’t say people are oversensitive, sometimes I need people pointing out what is/isn’t racist because that forces me to check my privilege, you know? But I just think it’s disingenuous to paint that skit with a…

I kind of disagree with your interpretation of the video? She’s not making fun of black people to demonstrate the stupidity of racism. She’s not saying “all black people look the same LOL joke,” she’s making herself look stupid because she’s so racist in said skit. Again, I don’t mean to offend, but I feel it is…

The parody of straight men’s homophobia on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (which does involve straight male main characters making fun of gay minor characters and gay people in general) works well imo.

Congrats on being against rape.

You don’t like this video? I’m filing a title IX complain against you! For Feminism!

I think it sucks too, but your username doesn’t.

Is it ok to be against rape but still think this sucks
