The standard internet trolls seemed to be chasing her about, giving her a hard time. So I looked into this a little more.





What's she all about?

It's amazing that she continually steals shite ones whilst she's at it.

Was it not the case she claimed her special getting savaged was a coordinated attempt by the "alt right" when in reality it was just shite?

Prolly wid like

People have been calling her a joke thief for years but that video is staggering

Never mind that she steals her material though, did anyone ever manage to sit through an entire episode of her show? One of the worst things I've ever seen.

I quite like her stand up show but that video is a bit telling

Suppose a lot of comedians reuse each other's jokes a lot, hers are pretty identical though not even versions.   I doubt anyone would be making a massive deal about it if it was just some generic male comedian mind

^^ don't mean people on here.

Genuinely don't understand how anyone can find her funny.  Yet to meet a guy that does anyway.

Male comedians accused of stealing jokes get shit too. Comedians tend to be pretty sensitive when it comes to their material getting lifted, it's got nothing to do with gender.

Female 'comedians' are the worst people on earth, just so so unfunny.

In America I prefer female comedians/comediennes -whatever the fuck- to most male comedians. Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Chelsea Perreti are on the top of their game right now. A lot fresher than a lot of tired male hack ones.

Saying all that, I find Amy Schumer annoying as feck and quite glad to see that she's been stealing material as I've always disliked her.

I saw this quite good Aussie female comedian at the fringe last year. I'll put it in GA's thread. EDIT - her name is Felicity Ward.


DOUBLE EDIT - this prob didn't need a new thread, but i didn't want to hijack GA's thread. Merge when necessary moderatorz

That's one of my favourites At first I thought Rogan was well out of order, but when you look into it a bit more you see just how bad his plagiarism was.

I did think that Rohan's point about Schumer was probably right, that if anything it was her writers and a general problem with writing anything original - some of the stuff Kathleen Madigan was claiming she stole was pretty tenuous and a lot of the material pointed out in the original video was hardly the most original stuff in the world. I refuse to believe that in this day and age, are many joke premises that haven't been thought of someone else. But the Patrice O'Neill one is just lifted almost word for word, and there are too many of those types of ones where it's work that she is definitely aware of, and the set up/premise and punchline are identical. She's headed for Mencia pariah status, in short

The obligatory Stew on Joe Pasquale, just in case someone hasn't seen it.

Doubt many comedians write their own jokes once they've made it tbh
