Amy Schumer’s feminist comedy. Going too far or far enough?

(funky jazz music)

Hey, I'm Peter Rubin.

And I'm Kelly Rubin.

And this is Crosby.

And this is Split Screen.

Because there's more than one side to every story.

And every movie, Every game,

And every TV show.

TV shows like

Inside Amy Schumer.

Which is now a few weeks into its third season

on Comedy Central.

And the sketch show just kind of keeps upping the ante.

It does.

Yeah, earlier this week it may be the most kind of

technically ambitious episode that they've had yet.

Yes, episode three which was 12 Angry Men

inside Amy Schumer.

[Peter] It was kind of three acts of sketch

with just 12 guest stars.

And really the question is, is Amy Schumer hot or not?

You know, for me, I don't like to be a naysayer

because I love the episode.

You do.

I love the episode but it is essentially

the exact same premise as the sketch

from a couple of episodes ago, Last F(bleep)able Day,

the one with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tina Fey.

[Kelly] Right, women are allowed to be on TV

as long as they're sexy.

Exactly, exactly and my worry is that she is,

of all the kind of incredible women in comedy right now

she's the most confrontational.

My fear is that the premises may start

to blur together a little bit.

If you're hitting the same target each time

then I just want her to kind of continue to push it.

Yeah, it's an important target to hit, though.

It's one of those things that does come up

in any industry that a woman is in.

I can only imagine that it must be worse in stand-up comedy.

That's so male and if she's ever in a roast

what are they going to attack?

Just how much they don't want to sleep with her.

That's true, I just want her to keep pushing it.

That's all I'm saying.

I just want her to kind of keep dialing it up

and making each thing more daring than the last.

And I'm sure she will.

She has a wide variety of sketch topics.

I know that might be the one that we see

the most prevalently.

But she has approached other subjects.

That's a fair point, I'll take that, nice.

And we hope you're watching

and we hope you'll continue watching us.

Hopefully we'll see you next week on another episode

of Split Screen.

Bye.
