Watch Amy Schumer Explain Why Being In Love in Your 20s Is Stupid

Latest

Here’s Amy Schumer talking about the idiocy of being drunk in love in your 20s, in a preview for her Apollo special that airs on Saturday.

Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo was taped at Schumer’s standup show in May at the Apollo Theater.

In a bit about dating, she says, “In your 20s you’re so corrupt with power, especially if you’re in love in your 20s…You’re just so arrogant. You’re like, ‘We’re so lucky we found each other.’”

Schumer then makes a tsunami comparison. Watch the clip below.


The special includes Schumer’s usual riffs about body image, sex and dating. More details via The New York Times:

Much of the first half involves jokes about her weight and appearance, which don’t register as defensive, because she frames them as someone else’s perception of her. “You’re here for the girl getting gastric bypass?” a Los Angeles casting agent asks. The trainer hired to help her lose weight for “Trainwreck” tells her that for dinner she should “put a peanut under your pillow and hope you dream of pizza.”

And:

During the second half, the focus swings to sex, and the notion — not new, but rarely conveyed this pungently and hilariously — that women enjoy it just as much as men. “I’d say in a relationship 50 percent of the time I initiate sex, and then 50 percent we don’t have it,” she announces.
