The "12 Angry Men" bit is the best thing I've ever seen. Â I'm only halfway through so far, but I had to stop and say that.
It doesn't hurt that I love that movie and watched it again just this past spring.
I agree. I laughed my ass off, and it was so well shot. It wasn't just a camera off to the side. They did deliberate approach shots and framing shots. Stuff you NEVER see in a comedy skit. It was beautiful and hilarious.
I'm only 3-4 episodes in, but I also quite enjoyed the skits Gordon mentioned not liking. I don't think she's angry at all. I think she's poking fun at stuff from a different perspective because she's a woman.
Watch some of the female stand up specials on Netflix and you'll see some genuine man hating. I watched one recently that was uncomfortable because she was clearly bitter and not funny. Based on the audience, it wasn't just me who felt that way.
I went and looked: Jen Kirkman: I'm Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine). Go watch that and compare it to Schumer's humor.

She had that woman back late in the season, the fat ugly one who shoves her crotch in audience men's faces while she sings. As soon as I saw her I stopped and deleted the recording. I find that woman repulsive.

Next time she comes near your town ... I wonder if she does house calls by request. There's a fairly good chance I can have a chat with her when she comes around here again.

Schumer recently talked about her size in her acceptance speech at the 2015 Glamour Women of the Year Awards in June.
"I'm probably like 160 lbs. right now, and I can catch a d--- whenever I want. It's not a problem. It's not a problem," she said to cheers from the audience.
You'll note that's not a particularly difficult feat for someone with a major motion picture and TV show to their name.

When she came to town before maybe 2 years ago, I could've gotten in for free, hung around the bar afterwards, and told her which restaurants in the local neighbourhood sucked (which is what she asked the bar staff anyhow). Â That was a venue that could hold a few hundred people. Â She's playing Target Center now (where the semi-pro Timberwolves play). Â Tix are $50 each. Â VIP is $250.

I still think her heading is going pretty far up her own ass.
That started as soon as she went off about the dude shooting up the Trainwreck theatre being anti-feminist or something. I firmly believe that her hanging out with the A-list celebs corrupted her brain.
