So...are male comics traditionally attractive, then?



What's weird about the men who bash on Amy Schumer is they don't seem to get riled up about someone like Will Farrell or Zach Galifianakis hardly being a dreamboat, or having some amazing body.

Historically, men will love comics like Chris Farley, John Belushi and Rodney Dangerfield, who were all fat pigs, but let Amy Schumer dare to be an iota less than modelesque, and she's some monster.

It's really disturbing.

I agree with you on this point. Guy's are just attacking her for her weight cause it's easy and I also find it unfair.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY_IvAm1bJADConJhDCuq6A

Fuck knows but the famous ones are at least traditionally funny... unlike Amy Schumer.

reply

I agree. She is ugly and unfunny. Kind of like repulsive Sara silverman-yuk!

reply

How she looks doesn't bother me. I just think she isn't funny & don't find many female comedians funny and I dislike "feminists".

reply

Then you dislike me klownz😞

If you are a nutcase sjw type feminist who thinks there are more than two genders and that women in the West don't have equal rights and are being held down by the "patriarchy" then yea I would dislike you for that.

If you are the sort of feminist that is just like every other normal person who demands women & all people should have equal rights so long as it causes no harm to other people... then no I wouldn't dislike you for that & would agree with you.

reply

More than two genders?!!! Ahem, no.

reply

More than two genders is a sjw thing like "gender fluid" & a whole other fuck load of "genders".... I wouldn't know about all this but started watching youtube vids by someone called Bearing who takes the piss out of all this kind of stuff.

Oh yea... nothing to do with sjw crap but there is also something called "flat earthers" that I find equally funny!

You are hilarious but let's not hijack the thread:D thanks for your answers-love them. One thing i will say is that if you have a penis use the men's room. Logic seems to elude many in favor of specious reasoning. I don't care if you "think" you are a woman.
When you replace your penis with a vagina then you can call yourself a synthetic woman. in Europe if you have a penis use the men's room, perv.

I don't consider amy schumer or taylor swift "feminists". I don't even believe they comprehend the meaning of the word.

There are a lot of funny women. Especially african american comics that make me laugh. i think that kathy griffin is hilarious. George Carlin and Jackie Gleason could have me rolling on the floor. I used to watc honeymooners on tvland when i was little. If i watch George Carlin (b4 he became an angry old man the last couple years of his life) i cannot stop laughing. Also i think Louis Black is hilarious but i cannot stand Louis C. K - Yuk. Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy also can make me roll on the floor laughing.

"There are a lot of funny women."

Yea there are loads of funny women but ones that are meant to be funny as a profession there are very few in my personal opinion.

I prefer actresses who are funny like Jennifer Lawrence who is funny as fuck! In interviews I have seen her in she cracks me up all the time! Natural charisma...

I like people to be fun in that way. Stand up comedy is a whole other art.

reply

Yes, i know she reminds me of me. I love her. Yes i know what you mean. I could not imagine being forced to be funny; that wouldn't be fun at all. Maybe that's why. Maybe they put themselves in a situation where they always Have to be funny and that sucks. I find that a lot of comedians seem to have mental health issues like Janine garafalo and jim carey. I don't think it's healthy to do that work unless you truly love it.
Jackie Gleason seemed to truly love what he did. I read a biopic on Bob Hope and he is another person who truly loved making people smile. That's so nice.

reply

Awww! Don't call Rodney Dangerfield "a fat pig!" 😠You are very lucky you did not mention Jackie Gleason-i don't care how big he was-he was handsome and the sweetest man on the planet. I met him right before he died when i was a little girl. But art carney was an Ass and Fug like amy schumer.

reply

I am not a man nor do i bash amy schumer, i do not however find her funny and i think she's ugly.

reply

I think Zach Galafinakis is cute. Chris farley was morbidly obese but had a cute face at least, amy schumer doesn't have a cute face And she's fat and unfunny. There have been many attractive female comics like Judy Tenuta and the older woman on Mad Tv.

reply

And will farrell is gross but he can be funny. I liked him in Elf.

reply

She makes herself a target for that kind of bashing by overtly marketing her sexuality. Sorry, but if you're going to consistently flaunt an overweight body in very tight and revealing clothing, you can't really be all that offended when people point out the obvious: it doesn't look very good. When Will or Zach go shirtless in a movie scene, it's part of the joke because obviously they don't have the physique for it.

All that said, I think Amy Schumer is pretty funny and isn't ugly or unattractive. But I don't think the criticism she gets for her appearance is misogynistic.
