I'm beginning to think this broad is stealing jokes!

You know I didn't want to say anything, but I think we may be on to something here fellas

Wow, she butchers that Nealon joke then mugs for the camera. Gross.

she killed it the same way she killed the leibeman joke and the mulaney joke. dilly dallying before the punchline and adding stupid shit letting it fizzle out and by the punchline it felt like she didnt know what she was doing.

Omg can't you see? She's the female Louis CK! We are living in the golden age of comedy boys!

she was so much better looking in 2010. Like a whole different person

You guys don't understand. She's just playing a character that steals.

What about Nealon himself?

He might have something to say on this.

Is this considered "brigading?"

I think brigading, in terms of Reddit, is using a sub to act in a mass organized manner.

One person sending out tweets to a handful of people is not that.

Well brigading really only applies to reddit.

The thing to watch out for here is "witchhunts"

those can be applied externally. Fatpeoplehate was banned because they were harassing imgur admins/mods for being fat and losers so they would take a picture of an imgur mod and make fun of how fat they were in their sub... so word got around that they were doing that and reddit cracked down on the sub.

That's cause Amy is in denial about being a fat. She still thinks she's hot.

It's the difference between always being fat and getting fat later. The always fat kid will be emotionally tortured their entire lives by their fatness even if they lose the weight as an adult. The kid who was in decent shape growing up will always be in denial when they put on weight. It's just a few pounds. I'm just fat for now, can lose it in a month, no big deal. Same thing with a girl who was a hot piece of ass at 18. She'll always think of herself as a prom queen no matter how rough life gets on her beauty.

And a parasite has a host. A disease...you are just a victim of it...rebels works a lot better.

[deleted]

I can't see how she's worth defending to her peers anymore. At worst she's a thief and at best she's a hack.

But Judd apatow just said she was one of the greatest joke writers he'd ever seen? It's not like he has anything to gain out of her succe......oh

[deleted]

Just a kind reminder to everyone NOT to fuck this up. Play by the rules yo.

Kevin Nealons joke was much funnier and she delivered the punchline like anthony jeselnik, how unoriginal can someone be?

Same thing with the other stolen material. She takes a small one liner from someone and turns it into a 3-4 minute story with less laughs because it took too long to get to the punchline.

On the plus side we get to hear her friends point out how much of a hack she is again;

"So what!? Asians have slanted eyes which makes them look tired/stoned! So many people come up with that, its fuckin hack anyway!"

can we hate comics who don't acknowledge that amy schumer steals jokes now?

when did we not?

they need to be taken down before we can get to the big fat queen bee. we've been focusing on the queen when it's useless with the pawns in the way. i've been reading the art of war

Ain't I a stinker!?

she looked way better in 2010

I bet Amy's asshole looks like a cinnamon roll but smells like the exact opposite of a cinnamon roll.

Did you just make that up?

Fuck, that's gonna stay with me all day.

Yes sir. It's 100% original. Tell your friends. I'm sure we will hear Shoomz use it on her next special.

[deleted]

there will soon be enough for a 1hr special of stolen and hack stuff.

And everyone said this subreddit would forget about her in 3 days and move on to some other target... Fools don't know.

The rebel wilson one is weak. That's a stock hack joke about hosting an event. And she's just paneling with some throwaway conversation on a daytime talk show, not on one of her specials, tv shows or movies that she profits from. Shouldn't be included in this video and should definitely not be the first clip. Milk milk lemonade just seems like a silly nursery rhyme that gets recycled every 5 years. Not the biggest deal. Are we really gonna bust her balls about a Jew with horns joke? Are we also gonna bust the balls of every Irish comic who jokes about the Irish being drunken brawlers as a cheap way to relate to the crowd? Make the stock hack obvious stereotype joke about your nationality or religion or race so that you are now free to bombs on other races and religions is pretty standard stuff. Are we gonna try to figure out who told the first Irish drunken brawler joke or first horned Jew joke thousands of years ago? The Nealon joke? Who gives a shit?

[deleted]

Great video. I think the clip of her talking about stealing should come at the end, though. For a minute I was confused wondering what she was ripping off.

EDIT: nvm, guess I should wait til I see the whole thing to comment.

nealon she might have stolen, it's good enough as an example to be in the original video. the rest is just hacky shit or ideas that are hardly original. jews having horns is not something sacha baron cohen created as a stereotype. "drinking for two" is like some old lady joke from 1947. she should just be ashamed of those, I doubt she stole them. and even if she did, some premises are stock premises that a lot of hack comics use, so she shouldn't be singled out for using those.

Using stock material in clubs is one thing but comedy specials are for material that you have written yourself. Using stock material to flesh out your set to make it long enough for a filming is joke theft.

That youtube clip was prob the worst one

Way to kill the bit.

its like Opie came in the studio the next day with a bunch of examples

what? the fact that someone is still out there finding shit is good enough for me. every example of her repeating a joke that has previously been on film is cool to me, whether it makes her a theif or a hack.

[deleted]

Milk, milk, lemonade Amy Schumer is a joke thief

I believe she has stolen jokes that have been brought up in this sub, but this video is really shitty and kind of a stretch

yeah, for the most part these are just lazy and shitty jokes, of course someone else has done them.

I agree. I'm all in with the Schumes hate, but this was poorly edited and included shitty examples. The Kevin Nealon example is the only one I would consider as some semblance of evidence.

but it makes it more and more apparent she does material in her comedy special that she's heard before. in some cases that's just rehashed hack shit and in some cases it is specific joke theft. every hack joke makes the evidence of the real joke stealing stronger, imo.

This video is really weak. Getting it attention will make people think that the creators really are head hunters. Horned Jews is a joke as old as Jews. The Nealon joke seems stolen but you can't hang the whole video on that. Also it devalues the last video witch had 100% stolen material.

[deleted]

we wont get banned for hating amy schumer. Well get banned if we brigade other subs. everyone acts like reddit is some awful tyrannical thing and we could get banned at any time, they really dont ask that much of us

The thing to watch out for here is "witchhunts"

those can be applied externally. Fatpeoplehate was banned because they were harassing imgur admins/mods for being fat and losers so they would take a picture of an imgur mod and make fun of how fat they were in their sub... so word got around that they were doing that and reddit cracked down on the sub.

It all depends on if the admins are really tired of us or not like they were of FPH (who had a shit ton more subscribers)... We probably have nothing to worry about just yet.

[deleted]

The Nealon one maybe, but it still seems thin. The others are a real stretch.

How many more instances of parallel thinking before it is not deemed a stretch anymore? 50? 100?

The Mad TV sketch and the magician sketch are strong, but, Nealon aside, this seems like grasping at straws. How long before you call her saying the word "the" parallel thought grifting?

When someone has a joke the begins and ends with "the".

She is stealing entire premises, setups and punchlines. You would have to be completely delusional to say that she hasn't stolen. I'm not even entertaining the argument anymore. If you defend her at this point, then you are either a shill or a friend of hers.

So do you work for her pr team or are you one of her comedian freinds? Norton? Is that you?

I'm not saying she hasn't stolen. I'm saying this post reeks of paranoia and desperation and the examples presented therein are flimsy at best.

Absolutely.

when what she says isnt something that has been said on film before. what other comic or person could you do? most people, especially on this level, should have their own voice.

Totally agree

But these aren't really instances of parallel thinking.

Drinking for two is the oldest fucking joke in the world. None of these jokes are stolen.

[deleted]

you think "Drinking for two" is unique to that intentionally old-fashioned Ivan Brunetti panel, the guy is intentionally mimicking old time new yorker and other type illustrators. He's not coming up with amazingly fresh jokes. Apparently neither is Schumer but still.

[deleted]

i just saw his moth story thing on conan, that was fantastic

Thing is, its not ivan brunetti;s joke, she isn't stealing or "parallel thinking"...It's just more interesting when you focus on real shit rather than these very strained parallels. And its fairly ironic that the people calling her out on shit are posting in the most repetitive hacky subreddit there is where the same jokes are repeated day after day.

Yeah that one was weak and shouldn't have been included imo but the rest is pretty damming. All added up its obvious she's been stealing shit, I hope someone will have the balls to call her out

None of them are damning, this video sucks

I mean all of them not just this viD

oh yeah, I honestly think its shows some writers lifted some bits and makes her look not as fresh and original as everyone thought. At best they lifted the bits subconsciously at worst they consciously did it. Stanhope made a good point about who gives a shit if you steal from MAdTV all these years later.

I think it's her honestly. She was on some talk show saying she came up with the slap chef sleep gym herself. Also the madtv sketch could have been written by key or peele or whoever the fuck it was so that could change things a bit. Either way no one seems to give a fuck anymore except this sub.

I've asked a few friends if they've heard about it though and almost all of them said yeah.

If you are refering to this: https://youtu.be/Qv0eWN8v_tg?t=206

she doesn't say she came up with slap chef, she says she came up with sleep gym and a writer tacked that on. Are your friends familiar with stand up? What are they saying "yeah" about?

Sorry I'm a vague moron. I just asked if they heard about the news story.

ah, yeah , I think it got pretty big but also shot down quick. The second video had all the rally damning shit but the media just picked up the first one which was more or less easy to refute once the comics backed down. It was kind of cool for a day or so but the dragging on of it is kind of boring and weak joke links are dull as shit. if people are still into it good for them I guess

Agreed, I just want more Opie hate fuel tbh fam. I live for that shit.

yeah i could use some good examples of opie obviously making up a lie or spazzing out. I think almost no one listens to O and J now though so the clips don't come in as much. I used to have satellite up until september so id throw it on for kicks. I think the reason I like this room, other than being a fan of comedy related to OandA , is the specificity and cast of characters. A room like /r/standupcomedy has good links but not everyone is into the same people and it doesn't have that familiar, everyone is into the same shit, vibe

There's the handful that still listen and will report in. You can get infinite free trials for xm just using different emails. I've been doing it for bonfire since it aired basically, even though bonfire has been on a steady decline lately :/
