Amy Schumer’s Donald Trump Joke Prompts 200 People to Walk Out of Florida Show

[Matchles]

200 walk out, 20,000 stay and watch the show. You trumpeters better hope that isn't an indication of support in Florida.

[Wells]

Schumer has a lot of class and it's all low lol. I don't even care that she made a joke on Trump, the chick is setting females in comedy back about 50 years.

Why? No one gives a shit about male comedians being classless or crass.

[Super Kami Dende]

Dead serious.

Even if you hate Clinton, you have to be seriously mentally ill to support anything Trump stands for.

Yikes. I was hoping that such a backwards comment was a joke, but the fact that you are serious is just troubling.

When telling controversy jokes you need to know your crowd. Ashame "anti-pc" people chose to be be offended and can't take a joke.

I mean I guess if it was a Joke that would make sense, what she said was just straight up slandering. There was no Comedy behind it.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

Uhhhh, that is false.

[THE Bigzoman]

It was out of a show of like 20,000. Full arena thing.

Seriously though, you're going to an unashamedly liberal comedian's show in the year of our Lord Twenty Aught Sixteen and not expecting Trump jokes?

She brought it to a swing state though? Yeah, she's a shit performer as she's always been

[Wells]

Uhhhh, that is false.

Seriously? Robin William's stand up was filthy.

[twiddler]

1) It wasn't funny.
2) I thought conservatives don't get butthurt/"can take jokes"?

[THE Bigzoman]

Circle-jerking with this amount of saltiness is painful for your genitals, I highly recommend against it.

Whether you agree or disagree with her style of comedy, the fact still remains that a lot of people find her funny to the point she is performing in sold out large venues. She's made a successful comedy movie as well if I recall, though I haven't seen it yet.

But I'm sure discussing how unfunny she is and patting yourselves on the back for noticing her political affiliation/weight/(insert something to be outraged about here), is going to make tremendous amounts of difference and teach her a lesson .

We will see how good she is in a few years time. At the end of the day she's not terrible, but the better comics find ways to remain relevant for extended periods of time as establish a brand

[Heladys]

She is awesome and fuck any Trumpites whose feelings were hurt.

Oh lord. Hi Wells. Nobody is entirely against low brow humor.... Schumer doesn't even really do that though. And there are shitty male comedians that have rightfully gotten hate, it seems Schumer gets a pass strictly because of her gender.

Alternatively, she's a liberal comedian who does content aimed towards women. Neither of which makes you part of her market.

This thread is like a bunch of dudes sitting around talking about how terrible Sex and the City is. The internet is really good at confusing not being the target audience with the material being bad.

I'm sorry, where is the line between telling controversial jokes and slander exactly? Ripping into someone as part of your standup isn't slander and the 1st Amendment protects her right to do just that.

I don't see Trump supporters saying anything about Trump making his entire campaign about supposed crimes committed by Bill Clinton to a heckler at his rallies without nam one of them being convicted. That's not slander?


The funniest thing about this are a bunch of "anti-pc" not being handle the smell of the same bullshit they diss out.

"Her comedy doesn't relate to me, therefore she is shit"

There was no punchline or anything though. Schumer just went off on a tangent and singled people out. They weren't even delovere as jokes.

I didn't know that the majority of audiences in comedy clubs were women, or that the arena was filled by a female majority

The problem is that there are other female comedians out there that are way more talented, have class, and you can enjoy them regardless of your sex. Julia Louis Dreyfus is one, Tina Fey is another, for example.

I saw a few clips of this chick and I still have whip lash in my neck from the massive cringe I did as I pulled my head away from the screen. If they ever do a sequel to the revamped Ghost Busters franchise..... they gotta have Schumer in it.

Target audience doesn't mean that's the only people who consume it.

Why is class a prerequisite? Classless humor has its place.

But Schumer isn't for you. That's totally fine. Its just silly to act like there's some objective measure of quality for stuff like comedy.

[PACOX]

Doesn't matter if she was going in on the crowd or had no punchlines, she wouldn't be the first shock comic with a routine like that. And the fuss isn't about her being controversial is about what she chose to talk about. She could have went in on Bill and I none of them would have left,probably would have bought her CD. They couldn't take a joke about their precious Trump, hypocrites.

Carrot top made a lot of money and had a "niche fan base"..... he was still an awful comedian. Schumer will be in that category when it's all said and done.

Actually it does. If your take is that people can't take a joke then a joke has to actually be made

The closest thing to an objective measurement of quality for a comedian is popularity. Otherwise you're just privileging your own tastes over everyone else's.

[PACOX]

She's a comedian telling jokes at a comedy show, seems like she was telling jokes to me. Doesn't matter if you think they were unfunny jokes are mean-spirited, they were jokes.
