Comedy is critique, it's slaying sacred cows to make hamburger.

But what happens when your people have climbed allllll the way up? What happens when you're the center of the center column..?

The tone of the comedy changes. And indeed some will allege there's NO SUCH THING as comedy anymore. And we do hear that opinion, even from the greats, now.

And THEN what do you do?

Well, you begin SHUTTING OTHERS DOWN, that's what you do.

When the plucky, insurgent upstarts rise to the very top it stops being funny and then they start being enforcers, they set about destroying the conditions that permitted them the mobility to rise in the first place.

The heroic pigs are inside the farmhouse, they're setting at a set table, walking upright and using the china.

Amy Schumer getting $13 million? If I were a Netflix shareholder I would be suing them for giving that kind of money to that talentless hack of a comedienne!

[dragonblustar]

She should sue. Sue hard, sue long, sue all day....

Liberal company that is racist. Liberal company that employs Obamaites.... I hope she takes them to the cleaners.

What is it about Political Payoff Moneek doesn’t understand?

[HamiltonJay]

She’s Upset because far more famous people got offered more.... She asked for more, they said, no... so she feels she’s been discriminated against.... Not sure how that logic can hold up in court.

She really thinks she will bring in the viewers that Chapel and others have?

I can probably give an hour of standup that will be as funny for 1/2 mil.

It’s been many years since comedians were funny.

[WKUHilltopper]

Never heard of her, but after seeing her picture, I can see her case. She was only offered an outrageous 20 cents a pound.

[Boogieman]

So she admits that other female comedians got paid more than her. She also admits that other black comedians got paid more than her. Seems like her own arguments disprove her claims of “discrimination”.

[USS Alaska]

In capitalism you are worth what ever you can get. If the buyers thought she would generate more income for them, they'd have offered her more.

Isn't there competition in the streaming business, go to a competitor and see what you can get.

“Mo’nique?

how about Less ‘Nique?”

LOL

Who the bloody h-e-double-hockey-sticks is Munique (whatevs)?! Perhaps this pinhead does not understand marketing value? This would be akin to PeeWee Herman demanding equal pay with Ahnuld back in 1988.

[ridesthemiles]

Perfect example of today’s ‘education’.

NO one seems to know the difference between OFF & OF.

[RocketMan1]

Maybe so, but I would still guess that a majority of Americans would not know who the bloody h-e-double-hockey-sticks this Muni'ch (whatevs) is! Thus, the pay disparity.

Having said what I have in this thread to this point, I hope he/she is successful at extorting buhzillions out of CommieNetflix and the holier-than-thou attitudes of all the cretins that run that DimocRAT propaganda outlet. And WHY is it that CommieNetflix never has anything that I actually WANT to see? (got rid of that monthly payroll deduction years ago)!

[headsonpikes]

Perhaps that’s why so many “graduates” say both, as in “Get off of the chair.”

Makes me cringe.

[EdnaMode]

Schumer is overrated.

[Chode]

the pic is funnier than anything it's ever said...

[Rastus]

I don’t care the wheres or whys, I just like the phrase “Netflix is being sued.” 😁
