Amy Schumer speaks her mind

Standup comic-writer-actress Amy Schumer will tell you exactly what's on her mind, even when those words have four letters. Mo Rocca interviews the star of Comedy Central's "Inside Amy Schumer" and the film, "Trainwreck."

[@andrewkim7700]

i like the fact that amy doesnt have to be funny 24/7 unlike most comedians.

[@fyodordostoyevsky6917]

+Andrew Kim seems like just a difference of personality; she's a person readily capable of being very funny, not a very funny person. Some comedians get their comedy from channeling their neuroticism, arrogance, etc. into the way they talk and live, while others get it from a more extrinsic sense of farce, Schumer being in the latter group. I think there have been greats from either camp and each has its value.

[@Birddogdog]

+Andrew Kim What??? Amy IS funny 24/7....but then again, looks aren't everything.

[@DyingBreed8]

+Andrew Kim i think she's being forced onto america...she's not that funny.

[@fyodordostoyevsky6917]

04mzwach I'm pretty sure they wouldn't bother forcing something that isn't commercially viable

[@fyodordostoyevsky6917]

aa aa well I'm not disputing that, I'm just saying if she sells, she sells and there's no "forcing" needed

[@anoukfleur2513]

I love this guy! :) (and Amy, of course, but I already knew that) he seems so... Putting people at ease. So kind and calm, letting others tell their story, not wanting to interrupt. I really like him.

[@Reason1717]

+Anouk Fleur Good observation on your part. And I agree with you as well.

[@pennydesouza]

+Anouk Fleur yeah he seems cool and sweet

[@richardhalsted1984]

Her show has been on Comedy Central for a few seasons and all the sudden she falls in front of Kanye and Kim and is the biggest star in the world. It doesn't matter how she got so big though because she deserves it.

[@kaitlyncipko2864]

If you don't like her that fine, I like a lot of comedians. I like her cause the dry humor and way of speaking flat with no emotion. People can enjoy who they want stop fuckin judging. If you don't like her go away it's really not that hard

[@reggieregina1362]

I have loved Amy since the moment I watched her on Comedy Central! She is the best!!!

[@GG57]

"He's cool but would I push him in a wheelchair?" Simultaneously heart breaking and funny

[@aaronpelchat7699]

I've been following Amy for years now and I absolutely love how much she has blown up. Kinda bittersweet because I can't just selfishly share her jokes with just my friends lol

[@shadmilkgod7115]

what jokes

[@summerwine7102]

she has a real heart, she fully engages in what she does, i love it

[@machida58]

+SummerWine Really? Why does she support mutilating the genitals of infants?

[@machida58]

SylvanaForrester Ok, its kinda like rape.

[@machida58]

SylvanaForrester Were they black?

[@machida58]

SylvanaForrester Are you a man or a woman?

[@henryettoit897]

she is a joke THIEF and a disgusting human being

[@GreenEnvy.]

Amy schumers stand up routine- drunk girl that sleeps around. Amy Schumers movie routine- drunk girl that sleeps around. Amy Schumers TV show routine- drunk girl that sleeps around.

[@patrickofreeman]

BS.. Part of her schtick, yes, but she covers LOTS of different areas of relationships and human behavior in her show and routines. It is exceptionally hard to stay fresh in comedy, especially these days with the 2 second attention span generation, but she is very creative and unafraid of any subject matter or technique. Her spoof of 12 angry men is an instant classic.

[@GreenEnvy.]

Nope. She's just generic and doesn't have a way with words. Also to tell a whole generation of people that they have a 2 second attention span is simply not true. Amy brings nothing new to the table. She's the quirky, slightly over weight all american girl of the moment. She'll be gone once the next quirky, slightly slightly over weight all american girl of the moment comes along.

[@JohnSmith-oy9by]

HubsDrunk the 180 pound chick with the face of a 300 pound woman. She should be in a traveling circus.

[@patrickofreeman]

HubsDrunk she has the ability to be spontaneously funny in any situation, very intelligent, and gets how fickle fame can be.. She's cool and sexy ass hell. You hate her, but hell, these days try finding someone who doesn't have a hate club.

[@GreenEnvy.]

She's not intelligent, hence the same recycled sex jokes she and every other female comedian does. And she's not sexy as hell, hence the fat rolls and overly used vagina. But you keep aiming low there tiger.

[@nadiainthesky]

Everything she says from 7:50 to the end is SOO honest and completely relatable. About relationships and about her dad's health impacting her perspective

[@rubygreta1]

"Why is sex such a great source of material?" Because it's easy, that's why. Schumer happens to do it better than just about anyone else. The really challenge for a comic is material that contains little or no sex. Or has it, but kids don't know what's going on (think "The Contest" episode of Seinfeld). And that's one reason I love Seinfeld. He's brilliant, funny, and works "clean."

[@pushkin1224]

seinfeld is a genius show.

[@midnighthanyou]

So down to earth...I love it!! Why aren't more celebs and people in general this honest, and down to earth?

[@doobylovah3720]

I'm kind of grateful Amy Schumer blew up the way she did. Her comedy is so subtle and humorous; it's unlike anything we've seen in the past few years. I wish her nothing but the best!

[@scarletrobin]

Dooby Lovah Really? I feel like she's anything but subtle

[@M0saab]

Dooby Lovah XD you better grab yourself a dictionary and look up "subtle"

[@sparklemotion101]

+Agnot Wot Where was that in this video? How many cocks? I missed it.

[@jamie.t.k.hulinjr4061]

Dooby Lovah really, I guess you like her Netflix Crap. She's horrible

[@jaydefreeman3069]

Dooby Lovah have u seen her real train wreck of a show leather special

[@TurtleNugget]

I don't even see her as "fat" or anything similar with a negative connotation. I actually think she's quite beautiful and attractive (+ she's funny haha)

[@dumbdumber7203]

+TurtleNugget shes a joke thief

[@mitchmarvinmartian]

+Dumb Dumber And your a comment theif, because I'm pretty sure I've heard that one before. BOOOOoooo!!!! Go back under your rock troll.

[@dumbdumber7203]

also shes not good looking

[@drewscott6013]

+AlduinWorldEater Good result. She has her own show and makes a lot of money doing what she loves. Not bad for a pug. And since you apparently can't even form a cohesive sentence, I doubt that you can do anything more interesting then hand out burgers through the drive-thru window. So go on being pathetic, and please, don't forget my ketchup.

[@ayebing]

She's not fat at all...she's just an evil vindictive bitch from hell

[@Trishpage312]

I'm new to her. Shocking and so funny! Makes me think I'm doing it wrong... That would be living.

[@michaelprieto573]

Trish Page I believe Amy would say, "You're not doing anything wrong - You do You, guurrrl!" And then something, something, alcohol and sex. Because, Amy! ;) I highly recommend watching her sketch show. She's really funny.

[@littleblitz8239]

Trish Page You go girl.

[@bellaoui82]

Patrick B

[@clarabellen]

I've loved Amy since I saw her first 22min CC appearance :o) She's so fabulous and it's wonderful to see her getting so popular!!

[@NJS2011]

I love Amy Schumer!! She's so funny! Trainwreak was awesome!! I wish more women had her sense of humor!!

[@greimalkin]

Where do you think she gets her ideas from

[@NJS2011]

greimalkin I don't know. She's just funny

[@amyc.k7095]

greimalkin​ Life experiences... like she said in an radio interview...how she grew up.... Her parents did divorce after all.

[@triskut]

High five

[@latishacroissant2238]

"I wish more women had a sense of humor" this is a statement most all female comediennes would condemn and rebuke due to the fact that this misconception has almost blacklisted women in the field of comedy for decades...women in are funny but in the media are seen as delicate, fragile, and feminine which distracts from their true humor and intelligence that women do possess. Just saying.

[@alexeiromanov2250]

She is funny funny funny and makes no apology for her sense of humor. I love her.

[@MarilynReturns]

Amy has worked really hard and is a talent and a great example of when preparation meets opportunity!

[@patrickofreeman]

She's been on top for a while now and she realizes as much as anyone how much harder it is to do comedy from the top.. It's the curse of fame so many of the greats have struggled with.. Keeping it fresh when you're in the fishbowl. What saves her over most is an amazing sense of balance between self worth and ego, and the courage to not hide from scrutiny.

[@lopezlatino]

She´s funny and smart! I love her!

[@hmicky-mickey]

Egroj Oleul nope. Now who's next?

[@keithsmith6885]

She is a racist. She came to the store I work in last month. She used the N word towards me. Then was surprised to I was a employee there. Please stop believing in her BS

[@hmicky-mickey]

Keith Smith She used the N word? at you? What did you say back? should've bit@h slapped her ugly mouth.

[@keithsmith6885]

H. Mitchell I have video of it. Want to see it? I'll upload it in two weeks

[@hmicky-mickey]

Keith Smith ok

[@brianpurcell3115]

How do people think shes fat?😂 shes acc kinda hot😂

[@michaelkupfer3723]

Wow, so many people here misunderstanding what she said in the video. When she says "White girls are the worst" she is NOT talking about all, but the entitled, California-girl style modern women, the "Ohhhhh myyy goooood" type, the one that thinks the universe is telling her something just because she took a wrong turn while texting and driving. If you still don't get it, listen to this once more: 4:30

[@ajwasp]

I fancy Amy. A LOT. SHE IS PERFECT. Best comedienne in a long time!

[@MrJFF411]

lol More like Feminist Propagandist pushing an agenda threw comedy, A women who say's men objectify women, yet she objectify's herself constantly, Manipulation threw reverse psychology lol Yea she is a Feminist,

[@MrJFF411]

***** don't know if that makes sense pal, whos the bright one, what a joke

[@chrisrembert6928]

ajwasp She falsely accused a fan of stalking her.

[@ajwasp]

Chris Rembert she probably did.

[@Puffin_777]

It is a shame that so many people are disputing the rape statistics here. When I spent time at a criminal court as part of my criminology studies I spent some time attending a shocking rape case of a very young girl. The court usher commented that there was no chance that the defendants would be charged as no person had been charged for rape in the entire time (five years) that this person had been an usher there. That was really shocking to us..

[@anoukfleur2513]

Thank you for your story! You rarely get to hear a personal story about these issues.

[@SOADslipsURknot]

"It's a shame the real statistics don't accommodate to my analogous story"

[@skinflutey]

If they aren't charged then they aren't defendants.

[@needmoredef]

she is so amazing i love her

[@hollyuya]

You either love her or you hate her, not much in between. I love her so much! Can't get enough of Amy

[@richardspikman7116]

She is AWESOME.

[@ct4074]

I appreciate a real, open, and honest woman like Amy. I wish more were as tough and smart as her, treating both men and women equally, and accepting their inherent nature and differences. Go Amy!

[@robertfrapples2472]

Well, if they ever need an actress to play "Miss Piggy" in a "Muppet Movie" remake, Amy is a Schu-In! I HATE it when a 4 tries to act like she's a 9! She has obviously worn out a few casting couches to get to where she is. She has tried her best to replace talent with vulgarity and audacity, but it really can't be done. I'm sure she will fade into obscurity in a couple of years. She'll be hanging out with folks like Julie Tenuta and Dean Cain soon enough.

[@anoukfleur2513]

Lol, you claim to be talking about her talent but it's so very clear that you're focused on her appearance. I hope you're at least being honest to yourself.

[@billyclub56]

In her defense, she's done a few bits, where she had No makeup or hair done. Pretty damn secure (& Ballsy) for a female celebrity to do that!! I don't think she's tryin to be a 9! She's too smart & her personality & Wit make up for what she might be lacking for YOUR taste!!

[@TheAdventuretime69]

there are plenty of ugly male comedians and no one cares how they look because they're funny. that's what's important. I don't see how she's "acting like a 9" but to many people she is a 9, it's your opinion that she's ugly but guess what, she has her own show and her own movie that was a huge success so how about you fuck off and stop caring so much about how a person looks. she's a funny, confident person and that's all that matters

[@TheAdventuretime69]

[@ayebing]

She's cool like herpes is cool

[@Kamodomon]

This is some really real shit from her. She jokes so much, you don't really see her as being serious AT ALL. Thank you for this interview and for putting this up. Worth the watch.

[@josephsdimension]

I love her but sorry to say, feminism isn't about equality anymore.

[@giannavictoria5394]

i love her!!

[@WendellsCat]

Am I the only one who thinks she looks just like the Cabbage Patch dolls?

[@paleobc65]

she actually had a joke about that

[@WendellsCat]

Really? Oh good, so I am not being mean. I don't mean it in a bad way

[@mistyles6270]

+Bos La Moss LOL she actually does? lol wtf

[@71sweetspirit]

In her acts/interview she self admits that she looks a cabbage patch kid. 😉

[@GoDrex]

she's right about rape stats being "unreal" - as in they're not real

[@observer855]

I like her. But what's so sad, is that her attitude towards sex and relationships is literally a perfect blueprint of how to end up single, sad and alone. Research tells us that nearly all people are happiest in long-term relationships - particularly marriage. Amy's approach almost guarantees marriage will never happen. This whole "girls should try to mimic men's approach to everything" philosophy destroys the dating life of every woman I know who adopts it.

[@jameswilliams-of3mv]

observer855 exactly.. spot on correct,, she might mean well and has some good messages for people, like loving and accepting yourself, but.. problem is, she's over sexualized as many women are..and treats sex and relationships as a joke.. no pun inteneded.. she's clueless, period..and that's truyl sad coz now she's more well known coz of her movie..

[@observer855]

mikemoair Yes. While she would be lambasted for saying so publicly, a social psychiatrist/psychologist said last year she was determined that the show, Sex and the City, had destroyed more female lives than breast cancer. Women mimicking the destructive habits of men is not "empowering." And ignoring very real biological differences is insane.

[@MedianNMean]

observer855 Maybe the research shows happy people end up in long-term relationships? You can't force a happy long-term relationship; in fact, that's a perfect recipe for an awful, short-term relationship.

[@observer855]

Median N. Mean No, that's not what the research shows. Virtually all data shows the "hook up culture" makes women unhappy in the long run. It also damages men, indirectly, because men who marry women who were previously promiscuous are much more likely to get a divorce.

[@foluketuakli3507]

I love everything about this video except for the title. Of course, she's speaking her mind...

[@byscottrichman]

When you realize that youre featured in a video with 1.2m views... spot me in the high school drama class

[@oliverburke]

She's a good gift to us.

[@thatonechickyousaw]

She deserves so badly to be in the spotlight. I love her. She's genuine and seems so confident and fun, and that speech about being "160 and still catching d***"??? Hells yes, girl! Be you!

[@FiaBoomSchack]

Schumer's so funny, that whenever-s she's trynna say something serious, everybody still laughs. Lol

[@Berkleesaxman]

Amy is a natural beauty. To put it bluntly...she's exquisite. And if that isn't enough you can add highly intelligent, funny, and sexy. I understand that she has recently found someone that she has very strong feelings for and I am sure those feelings are mutual. I wish her the best possible outcome with her new relationship. I think the guy in her life is very...very lucky. Yes... I'm an avid fan of hers. How can you not love this lady!!

[@James7995]

So....her sister is married I take it. Oh well, moving on.

[@Shoei6m9]

"Everybody has a selfdefeating nature" dr Phil. What we are not really shown here is how hard she is working. Also her sister... Now matter how much Amy looses herself her psychologist sister can pick her up again. "If I loose myself to alcohol?" "If I work myself to death?" "If I screw around until my selfimage is ruined?" A lot of people do this. But they dont have anyone to pick them up again. Twins have the same connection. Sometimes they have no other relationship throughout their lives. Because nobody can beat what they have. I'm glad for the shitload of money she is making, her unique platform and network. I'm only sad that I am not one of the few who really can get to know who she is. And be left to speculation.

[@Melicioel7]

lol that episode spoof of 12 Angry Men was hilarious

[@noellem8984]

why does she assume the guy is the aggressor and the woman is the victim. rape is a big deal and happens to woman predominately but men are raped too. this thinking can be dangerous

[@wylier]

Because most sexual assaults take the form of male perpetrator - female victim. yes, men can be victimized, but in the case of college students, almost all victims would be female.

Yeah, a lot of Europe seems so much more open in so many ways than the USA. I'm sure I'm plenty wrong in some ways, but I'd like to think it's true.
