Did Amy Schumer Steal Some More Jokes For Her Netflix Special?

Font Size:

Comedian (and admitted shoplifter) Amy Schumer’s latest Netflix standup special is getting terrible reviews. But don’t blame her. Blame her writers!

Last year, a guy named Brandon Farley put out a couple of YouTube videos compiling a bunch of jokes Amy Schumer wrote, years after those jokes were told by other comedians whose work she’s definitely seen. Now Farley is back with a new clip of other people’s jokes that Schumer has managed to ruin. This time her victims include Dave Attell, Dave Chappelle, and the writers of Portlandia and Spaceballs.

WARNING: Adult language and blatant thievery

It’s weird how there’s so much “parallel thinking” going on between Schumer and other comedians, but always in the same direction. Nobody ever tells the same joke after she tells it.

Look, Amy Schumer is a thief. She used to steal from department stores, and now she steals from other comedians. It’s much more lucrative, and she knows she’s protected by feminism. She’s possibly an even bigger joke thief than Carlos Mencia was, and being Hispanic wasn’t enough to protect his career. No, if you really want to get away with stealing other people’s material over and over, you have to fall back on counter-accusations of misogyny and male privilege. That’s the good stuff.

It’s sexist to criticize Amy Schumer for stealing jokes, and to point out that her outfit in her new Netflix special makes her look like a burst kielbasa. So don’t do either of those things.

(Hat tip: William Hicks)

P.S. Schumer has responded on Instagram to all those bad reviews her Netflix special is getting. A sample: “It makes me feel so powerful and dangerous and brave. It reminds me what I’m saying is effective and bring[s] more interest to my work and their obsession with me keeps me going.” Now it’s just a matter of waiting to see who wrote it first.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
