Amy Schumer Thinks She’s As Funny As Chris Rock

I think Amy Schumer has pulled off a first and came out with something funny, unintentionally.  She thinks she’s as funny as Chris Rock (and Dave Chapelle).  This is what has been posted at AVClub:

Income inequality has become an increasingly discussed topic in Hollywood in recent years, as women and members of minorities stand up for the apparently still-radical idea that they should be paid as much as their white or male co-stars. That disparity (and the outrage it provokes) even extends outside TV and movies, and into the world of stand-up, with a recent Variety post highlighting stand-up comic Amy Schumer’s efforts to get equal compensation for her work from Netflix.

Schumer released a new stand-up special with the streaming service, The Leather Special, earlier this year. But shortly after she signed the deal with the company, stories began to break about the massive, $20 million paydays Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock had both pulled down for booking similar gigs. Schumer—who was reportedly being paid $11 million for her own set—went back to the company, demanding something closer to equal pay for her work. It’s not clear if she got an exactly equal paycheck, but the company did move to bring her pay and the male comics’ in line with each other.

This is hilarious.  ‘You’re going to pay me extra money, because I’m a woman, and I’m ready to nag’.  Rock and Chapelle are funny.  Schumer is just a pain in the balls.  In fact, has anyone ever found a female stand up funny?

Wait.  11 million.  Did I read that right?  They’re paying her… 11 million?!  It can’t be.
