    The thing I hate the most about her is how she blames alt-right trolls for her special tanking. She just has to admit that this was a miss. Own up to your failure and do a better job.

    Really horrible, and literally steals jokes from other comedians.... Time travel joke. she is not original. This particular special was horrible and incredibly unfunny. she talks with such a lack of wit, class, or even humor

    This special wasn't even remotely funny. Not only did I not even crack a smile most of her "jokes" made me scowl. It's like she's as disgusting and off putting as she is funny.

I'm looking at you specifically David Weigand of the SF Chronicle. You wouldn't know humor if it bit you in the non existent testicles. If you want to hear about how disgusting Amy Schumer is and how bad she smells and find humor in that I pity you. If you really want a laugh go look up David Weigand. He looks like the Dana Carvery turtle character from movie "Master of Disguise" I guarantee you will laugh harder looking that up than you ever did at this special.… Expand

    The most embarrassing part about this special is that Schumer performed in front of thousands, thousands that didn't even so much as chuckle.
    She appeared drunk and desperate to make any joke stick as she meandered from joke to joke. There was just no finesse.
    She should rename her special to Amy Schumer: Awkward, Embarrassing and worst of all, Un-funny.

    I am a big fan of Amy Schumer, but was really disappointed in the leather special. It was really just a re-hashing of the same themes from her earlier specials.

    Write some new content Amy - your fans want something to laugh at, not something we laughed at already in 2015.

    how can someone be so arrogant while making so many self deprecating jokes. Jokes are just not good enough and kind of old, watch any 5 of her interviews in 2015 and 2016 and that is basically the entire special.

    She condones sexual assault because she happened to like it, only lands one slightly funny joke (the dump-taking bit at the Peabody awards), and the rest is complete drivel. Avoid at all cost.

    Terrible and recycled unfunny jokes, if you plan to watch it, watch it alone because the amount of cringe it produce is just too awful, if you have already seen other Amy Schumer skits there's no need to see this one again, it's basically a messy compilation of recycled contents.

    I used to like Amy a lot but this is definitely her worst work. She stole a lot of her jokes too. I was able to recognize at least 2 jokes used before by other comedians. I believe Metacritic's score is extremely inaccurate. The user reviews completely contrast them.

    The leather special is one of the worst things my eyes have ever bared witness too, videos of Isis beheadings are more enjoyable and satisfying than this ****

    Big AS fan, but this special was horrible. Old, tired sex jokes. Unorganized and sloppy as someone else put it(and true) The gun thing was out of place. Seemed uncomfortable and disconnected. I'd recommend to her that she take a break from the light and work on some newer material

    Who didn't LOVE Amy Schumer before realizing that she steals all of her material from other comedians' acts. Disappointment for sure. The Leather Special is no exception. So much of it is directly stolen (and poorly/sloppily executed) that I wouldn't be surprised if not 30 seconds of it was original.
    This would be a waste of five minutes, if you could even stand it that long.

    I’ve been to funnier funerals. All the jokes were vagina and penis related. She keeps painting the narrative that it’s easy for her to get laid. There are non stop attacks on men.

    If she had made as many funny jokes as much as she swore I would have called it comedy. Instead, it has the label of "white girl complaining about her sorry existence". Don't recommend it at all.

    cheap, lazy humor. She can't joke about anything but nasty sex and female hygiene. So boring. People just like her because they're told they have to or they're not a feminist. Good Lord, please bring us more real female comics.

    The Leather Special is obscene, gross, nasty--but none of that matters. What matters is how unfunny Schumer is. Her cadence and delivery and content makes her show very cringingly bad. It was very difficult to watch her bomb her way through the entire special. I hate seeing anyone be embarrassed.

    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]
