She was unable to attend a good comic university due to her poor CSAT scores, GPA and extracurriculars and thus never learned the most basic lesson of comedy.

Tragic really how she came from a rich white blond upbringing and no one told her not to do that.

there's a million loving lovely comics out there why are people so outraged about amy schumer like anybody gives a poo poo

Because she makes fun of the kind of memelords who think that everyone needs to know whether or not they would have sex with her and of they think she's feminist enough.

Amy Schumer's latest stand up wasnt that good, the leather special. And her latest movie snatched looks kind of bad and also shits on south america

Her show is great though

It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.

I don't really have a dog in this fight but she (or other writers for her show) did steal a ton of sketches from other shows.

How does US copyright law apply to jokes? Is she merely guilty of bad form or actual crime? I understand that I have no stake in this, that my livelihood does not depend upon these jokes, but how do we objectively determine whether someone is wrong or not for repeating or re-imagining what amounts to an amusing story? How do we make this mesh with the knowledge that multiple people sometimes originate nearly identical thoughts at nearly the same time? Or the idea that most stories are about other stories rather than reality? When and where did she cross that line and become a pariah?

I don't think there is a legal standing here but she has definitely violated a lot of the comedy culture (ugh, what). At least enough where other comics have called her out on it and it would damage their careers if they were wrong.

She used to open for a lot of comics that got famous before her. She'd turn around with some of their material and change the delivery a bit and call it her own.

There are some people that hate her because she's a woman, some people hate her as they hate any comic they don't find funny.

Edit: Dane Cook once (possibly accidentally) stole a joke from Louis CK and it cause a pretty huge uproar; especially since Louis wasn't being a dick about it. So, I suppose, it stings to see someone become so famous when they've poo poo on people to the top.
