    This was funny, I'm glad I watched it. Definitely all about the sex jokes, depending on whether that's your thing or not. By the way, I just want to thank all the trolls -- I never would have noticed this to watch it without the news coverage of all the hate it was getting. So yeah, thanks guys!

    OK, it is the best comedy I have ever seen? ... maybe not. But the alt-right trolls are the ones trashing this show. Anyone who disagrees with the almighty Trump needs to be destroyed. I hate the level of polarization in this society.

    Jeez... it is a show with mostly sex jokes. It is about as funny as other shows about sex jokes. The timing is good. She clearly a pro.

It might be fair to give it a 5-8 out of 10 depending on your taste. Seems mostly like the jokes are not hugely insightful or thoughtful... but that is not her style of comedy. I'll give it a 7 to be fair. But you can discount the a large % of the trash reviews as politics.    … Expand

    Wow, lots of people inspired to leave their first review for this special! Myself included! That alone should give you an idea of how provocative Schumer continues to be.

    This special was perfectly fine. Not her best work—it won't reach the highs that The Amy Schumer Show has hit. But all in all, the special is full of perfectly fine jokes!

If you know her work, you know what you're in for, which is why I don't get the aghast reviews this special seems to be generating. It's almost as if people are reviewing her work, not on its own merits, but rather on some other set of criteria? Huh! Strange!    … Expand

    Here's a thought - how about we let a female comedian write and perform a stand-up special with women as the primary audience, not men? What a novel idea! And obviously the hate from the usual haters (white straight undereducated men) that are so obviously on an alt-right crusade to prove they are too stupid to realize what they are watching, if they watched it at all - which I'd guess isHere's a thought - how about we let a female comedian write and perform a stand-up special with women as the primary audience, not men?

    It wasn't Amy at her best, but it was quite good once I grasped the concept of who the real intended audience was. It was a bit dark, a bit too real for most men, and so here we are.    … Expand

    This is funny. I don't understand why so many people are hating on this wonderful and talented woman with so much importance to the world of fart jokes.

    She’s absolutely as funny as she was two years ago, which was pretty darn funny. But the humor--most of it revolving around sex, body issues and relationships--feels dated.

    Ironically, the dirtier it gets, the less daring it feels. Part of the problem is that she doesn’t drop in enough context from her life of late, and the material feels like it could have come from a set three years ago.

    It's pretty much 85 percent sex jokes. The good news is that all the sex jokes are very funny! And even when Schumer turns her attention elsewhere, she still kills it. [10 Mar 2017, p.62]
