Why is schumer seemingly untouchable when it comes to stealing?
56 2017-03-26 by [deleted]
No one, amongst comedians at least, calls her out and everyone defends her. On the most recent legion of skanks Dave Smith made a joke about her stealing and they all just groaned and acted like he insulted a king pin. It's pathetic. Mencia was huge at the time rogan called him out and people still said something, so I don't think it's her popularity. She can't be that big of a gatekeeper in the industry, so why does everyone kiss her ass? Especially now with bits from attell and chappelle you'd think that would be crossing the line, but she still gets away with it. What is it?

Unlike mencia she's actually friends with/well liked by a lot of comics, believe it or not... And if you have a friend in that high of a place (sadly she is one of if not the biggest name in comedy right now) you'd be a fool to try and tear them down and close the door on them ever doing anything to help your career

If what Rogan said is true, Mencia was stealing jokes from open micers and shit. Schumer is stealing jokes that cellar legends said 15 years ago.
n/a LarryKleist711 2017-03-26
He stole jokes from Bobby Lee and Ari Shaffir.
n/a stevex42 2017-03-26
He stole jokes from established comics as well (George Lopez and Bill Cosby most famously). But Rogan also said Mencia would sit in the back of the club on open mic night with a pen and paper and nobody could do anything about it. That's the real reason they were so eager to fuck him over.

If it's not Hollywood Jewish nepotism then I don't know what it is. I remember when she rose to fame it all seemed very artificial. She was forced on us. It looked like every media outlet colluded to propel her into household name status.

Mencia would strong arm people, Amy on the other hand probably acts nice to all of the other comics. It is odd though, why she hasn't been taken to task over this and makes Rogan and the rest of the comics seem like hypocrite pussies.
n/a bonniesretardsister 2017-03-26
Mencia also stole jokes word for word so he had no wiggle room for denial. Schumer is closer to Dane Cook where she makes a minor change to the joke so she can claim they just had similar ideas.
And Cook's career ended more because he was a flash in the pan for 3 or 4 years more than the Louis CK stuff. Most people didn't even know about that until his career was pretty much over and CK got popular around the same time.
As for why they don't call her on it, it's because she uses feminism as a shield. Bash her and you must be alt right. Mencia could have played the race card, but it wouldn't work because his whole act was bashing political correctness.
n/a titcity 2017-03-26
Even the Dane cook comparisons aggravate me. He definitely stole jokes but also had a lot of original material and some semblance of a good delivery. Amy literally steals the majority of her material and even butchers that, cause her delivery is so fucking terrible
n/a bonniesretardsister 2017-03-26
He certainly has better delivery and stage presence, but his original stuff was hack shit just like Amy. Annoying girls at clubs, the SuFi, bad arguments with your girlfriend. He didn't have talent beyond his energy and being a good promoter.

She shares the same agency as Jim Norton, Marc Maron and a bunch of other comics. Probably a few publicists in common too.
n/a Lasagna_Hat 2017-03-26
I thought it's because the majority of those bits seem more hack than stolen.
n/a suchanjv 2017-03-26
Mainly because they don't want to have their careers fucked with.
On the first episode of his new show Kevin Brennan said that after Tammy Pescatelli came out with the first accusations of Big Amy's joke thievery her agent and manager fired her.
So after hearing that most comedians not dared accuse Piggy lest suffer in their own careers.
n/a TheDarkFezRises 2017-03-26
Was Tammy ever back on O&J or Bennington after that?
n/a cakehornnigga 2017-03-26

You mean quit? I'm pretty sure the talent hires the agent/manager and pays them for the service they provide. Not the other way around.

Louis Gomez made a joke about it at Rons Live Street Jokes and it got a laugh. I think it's because she's a female and most comics (Jim) are surprised she made it so big and want a career boost from her.

Well she has always been really good to fellow comedians from the new York "club scene".
But it's really because she is using hacky bits. And you can't really steal hack shit. Everyone comes up with it because it's hack.
But they can't say that either because she's always been good to them. Lots of hacks aren't good to them.
She's more of a hack than she is a thief. But that's still not a very nice thing to say so they stay quiet.

I think we'll see more turning on her now that she will be less likely to help them. They're only this nice hoping she'll throw them a bone and put them in her latest movie or show. The second she stops having anything to offer people will be less afraid of her. Losing Barbie is the first step. Once Snatched crashes and burns at the box office she'll be done.
n/a packitchofsositch 2017-03-26
What really sucks is that even after 99% of everyone else turns on her, Jimmy still won't because he's loyal to a fault. He'll never say a negative thing about her no matter what. And not because he's a "worm". He's no different from Bill Burr the Monday after Carlin released his last special, which was a massive drop-off after everything else he did before. Look up the show if you can find it, he was the same way. The "soldiers" have to go to bat for each other.

Because she handed Metzger a writing gig, and even pros were like "damn, that could be any of us."
Trainwreck sweetened the pot. She did the smart thing of putting Colin and Attell (I heard they had cameos, still never watched it) in the movie. She aligns and shields herself with some actual names within comedian circles so she can present false credibility despite the fact that she was an 8 year comic that got thrown into sold out arenas and "blockbuster" (shitty lib agenda movies with boring humor and shiny characters. Just as bad as shitty, valueless, and never worth revisting comic book money grabs) movies.
Amy actually was pretty good when she first appeared on O and A and had a club act. Then she pressed the "tell my cousin to make some moves" button, and now she's a stressed out liberal loser that ate her stress away with an inability (doing too much at once) to create worthwhile material. Hell, I never saw a single episode, but her show was getting great genuine reviews from people I read and listen to consistently. By the final season, most review articles read like a Libtard Anarchist Cookbook, with no sort of criticism at all and childish jabs at us "blind losers" who refuse to call her Goddess.
Fuck Amy Schumer and her political fag cousin. Her fame was definitely bought and paid for, and I love seeing it backfire into her cake cheeks. She pressed the "fame" button too soon. Good.
n/a SkepticSloth 2017-03-26
I don't think Chuck Schumer has much influence in Hollywood - I think it's the other way around, he latched onto HER to push his anti-gun campaign.
The one person we can blame for Amy is Judd Apatow. He made Trainwreck happen. If not for that, she would not be where she is now. Judd was setting himself up to be a starmaker, first pushing Lena Dunham on everyone, now Amy. That launched them both into circles with people like Amy Pascal, who single handedly almost destroyed Sony Pictures with the Ghostbusters debacle and the failure of the Spiderman franchise - and who was behind the Barbie picture.
People don't give her shit, you're right, because their paychecks are at risk. A LOT of shit goes untalked about in Hollywood, because of that - it works in sports, it works in music, and it works in movies - keep your mouth shut if you want to keep your job.
We'll see what happens, now that her show tanked, her special tanked, and Snatched will tank. People's careers in Hollywood end fast. Amy is becoming known more for being hated than her work. She's not at Dunham levels of hatred yet, but she's on her way. Dunham is another one who will fade away fast, unless her fat ass is hired onto a movie or TV show soon...but who's gonna hire her? Judd Apatow - bet on it.
Amy was never "pretty good". She was just a chick with a foul mouth. Her best material, like at the roasts, were written for you. She was a borderline hole when she was on O&A. When she was on Rogan, she literally had nothing to say. She has no acting abilities, she never put in the work to be funny. Her special would be the same for any fat woman her age if you put her on a stage. For all the money she's making, she couldn't hire better writers? Hell, Chris Rock has writers who help him develop his specials, he admits it - the part that makes me watch is how Chris does the material, because he's really good at it. Even Carlin had to take his material on the road to develop it - watching the first ten minutes of Amy's special, she wrote it all down once, and never practiced it.
If she'd earned her accolades, that's one thing - but she hasn't, and that's why her fall is satisfying.

Because comedians wait for opinions to become safe and jump on bandwagons. Cosby has been raping since the 70s and everyone in show business knew it, but Apatow and Patton Oswalt didn't start their faux outrage until everyone in America was against him

I remember reading an interview with Colin where he talked about the Mencia ordeal. Ari Shaffir accused Carlos of stealing his joke about illegal immigrants building a border wall and Colin said he was doing the same joke in New York and had no idea about either of them doing the bit.
Rogan claimed Carlos stole "licking an asshole is like licking a battery" from Rev. Bob Levy, now I just heard that joke in Norton's latest special.
Bottom line: A lot of these theft accusations are a bit of a stretch and/or just unoriginal jokes.
