    Ouch. Used to be a fan of Amy, but this was a very cringey special. At some point her set ups stop working, because you know the joke will probably end with "I have a lot of sex."

    Self-deprecation about weight and looks based on standards she claims not to subscribe to. We've heard it already. Not smart. I still deeply appreciate her though.

    Did she even prepare a set? She sounded like any drunk girl at a bar. Profoundly DULL and unfunny. Nowhere near the level of quality of her TV show. She is going to alienate her fans if she continues this way.

    I've liked Amy in the past. A lot. But I could not relate to a single thing she said in this 60 minute gross-out session. I was bored by this special. Some of her jokes did not make sense.

Some of her jokes did not make sense. How did she know her special lady parts had an offensive odor? Is she limber enough to stick her head down there? Or was the smell strong enough to clear an elevator? If it's that bad, somebody needs to get tested for an infection. In the last 40 years I have had zero female friends mention having a vagina odor problem. 100 women surveyed. Survey says . . . XXX. I hung in there despite this rough start, but things never got better. Amy was not funny. Which makes me sad because I love to laugh. I'm old enough to have seen Bill Hicks live in a tiny club. The drinking jokes are getting old, too. Blackout jokes apropos of nothing fell flat. I hope she sobers up, grows up, and retools her act. She even burped loudly! I spent some time with my neighbor's 3 year old grandson this morning, and he did the same thing, right before he told me he had to poop and I handed him back to Grandma.… Expand

    Unorganized and sloppy presentation of material. Relies on shock factor and self deprecation to get a reaction from the audience and doesn't bring anything remotely interesting to this special. Really dumb

Now famous and successful, it's as if little effort is required to please her core base who will continually laugh at material once edgy, shocking and quite funny but now simply disappointing. Amy's set included excessive time on her smelly vagina, diarrhea and cum shooting. Between sex and body comedy she mentioned the tragic shooting of two women at a theater showing her movie. Again, instead of making a connection with the audience, she simply implied gun owners were stereotypically all hillbillies living in trailers and the law allowed blind people to buy guns. She then concludes that if she can talk about men shooting cum upon her breasts then she could talk about guns. I once heard Patton Oswald talking about a set he did at a casino in which he merely had to stand on the stage and the crowd went wild. He didn't even have to tell one new joke; the fans just loved seeing him. Miss Schumer, it seems, has discovered this truth already. If this had been her first set, she would be unknown. On stage she talked about a man trying to shoot cum upon her moving hand. Let's just all hope Amy Schumer doesn't continue to miss the mark and remembers her salad days (well, salad with pasta on top) and gets back to being the great comic we all know she can be.… Expand

    I love stand-up comedy but this was just horrid. The audience barely laughed. She really needs to spend more time writing jokes that are funny and not just about female anatomy. I used to like her a lot but now she is just pandering to the Tumblrina crowd and it's just not worth anyone's time.

Just a bunch of of lame "jokes" revolving around sex acts and juices coming out of every possible orifice (one example: story about her taking a long, liquid dump w/her boyfriend sitting just outside the bathroom. How old, tired and unfunny is that?). Fine if it was funny, but it wasn't. Didn't laugh once. Audience had the same reaction: smatterings of light laughter, but don't remember even one outbreak of applause or ovation. So bad, I actually paused this show half way through to watch Jim Gaffigan's "Cinco" (very funny - and BTW family-friendly clean). Saw the second half later, but it was no better.
    Like i said, I've been a Scumer fan since before she was really famous, but over the last couple of years she seems to let her success go to her head in a lot of ways and has stopped really trying. "Leather" is very indicative of that.    … Expand

    The last time I saw that much leather it was still on the cow. She's never been too impressive... replete vulgarity, sort of like a white, female Martin Lawrence; probably a big turn-on for the low-information audience, but I tend to enjoy comedy that tries a little harder. She's one of those acts that'll be gone long before anyone really notices.

    I liked Amy's earlier stuff but this special lacked the "special" OK we get it you have a loose vagina and can be just as vulgar as the next guy but make it funny. This wasn't funny it was a flop and torture to sit though...well skimmed through after 15 mins of the same vagina joke. This routine is more evidence that Schumer is a one trick pony. Don't blame twitter trolls blame the lame act.

    I never came close to cracking a smile. Five minutes of discussing her privates and its smell made me realise why she doesn't get much. It did not get better. If you want to watch a plus size female talk dirty in a boring and seriously non-funny way, then this is for you. After 20 minutes, I had enough and wanted to look for reruns of campaign speeches.

    I love raunchy edgy and dark comedy but this fits in all categories except under comedy. The crowd overreacts to sub-par amateur comedy premises. Just dirty topics with no real pay-off. To add insult to injury the audience freaks out over it. It's a very surreal and strange set, if you want comedy turn away.

    It really is as bad as you hear, don't bother. The funniest thing about the entire special is how uncomfortable she looks in that outfit. Save yourself an hour and just imagine Miss Piggy in a gimp suit telling 4th grade level jokes about vaginas. That's it.

    Nothing new here., same material as her last special. It has been all downhill since 2015's Trainwreck. There is nothing really funny when she describes how nasty her female parts smell, just juvenile/grade school humor. If her upcoming "Snatched" movie bombs, she will become a mere footnote in comedy...

    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.
