Why the fuck you lying…….
Over the weekend, HBO aired the Chris Rock-produced comedy special, Amy Schumer: Live At The Apollo. For those hardcore fans of the greatest modern era stand-up comedian of all time, an interesting find was recognized during the final joke from the Trainwreck movie star.
One of the most famous Patrice O’Neal ejaculation pieces was unfortunately used to close out the show, as viewers of the special immediately recognized some material from Schumer being reused uptown. While we’re hoping she would never flat out steal a joke from a dead man, many are assuming her writing team would use nearly 10-year old material that would get mainstream praise.
However, that wasn’t the case, as she received public backlash for the video clip above.
