    I love that Vogue considers Schumer’s totally unsurprising fondness for the New York Times to be a literary eccentricity requiring ethnographic contextualization:

    She, while Jewish, reads.

    Wow.

    (WHAT IS THIS? A SCHOOL FOR ANTS???)

      “hot-button social issue.”

    Much like South Park, Schumer fearlessly tackles taboo subjects like incest and bodily excretions, except she’s a person, not a cartoon.

    My favorite copy editor would have bent the writer over his desk and slit his throat for this crap. It reminds me of the student classic:

    John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

      I’m still noodling through this one. I think I have almost got it but I’m not quite sure. She’s not a cartoon......she is a person..... is she CGI? nope sorry, I still don’t get it.

    She is lightning fast and whip smart, a New York Jew with a copy of the Times tucked into her bag.

    Jesus that sounds like a description of the latest American Girl doll.

    Edit: actually the whole thing sounds like one.

      “Whip smart” has replaced “quite bright” as the words men use to describe those women who (to their great surprise) are intelligent.

      I remember the first time I realized that “quite bright” was the qualifying term for intelligence to be used for women. It was 1991, and I was at grad school. I was talking to a new student and asked him how he liked his supervisor. “She seems quite bright,” he said. She was a renowned scholar in her field; he had just finished his BA.

      “Whip smart” sounds like some shit you’d read as a character description in a hackish screenplay.

    I tell her about the time [Joan] Rivers was on an overnight flight, and as it was about to land, the flight attendant leaned down to offer her breakfast. “Chicken and eggs?” said Rivers. “On the same plate? What is that, the mother-daughter special?” Schumer lets out a big laugh, as it is classic Joan but it is also a joke that could easily have come from Schumer’s brain.

    Translation: “I’m going to repeat a joke so common and well-known that it’s literally a Paul Simon song and she’s going to laugh because I’ve just put her in a position where she kind of needs to so that she still seems affable and game and thus I get to congratulate myself for remembering this joke thus indicating I’m as funny as both Joan Rivers and Amy Schumer, comedy is not hard.”

      This is among the common Vogue interview sins that doesn’t get talked about enough - the part where the interviewer wastes my time by shoehorning in a drawn-out anecdote to show how clever they are. No one’s reading the interview for you, Van Meter!

      The most comical thing about Amy Schumer is the recent super glam photoshoots she has been doing, like this one. She looks so out of place.

      No, I picture him being the asshole who memorized a bunch of SAT words and regularly uses them to see who’s as “smart” as he is, and relishes in explaining those words in conversation.

      How many years before he realizes that truly smart people speak with the purpose of being understood - not showing how many big words they know.

      I think it’s worse than that. I don’t think he needed Google because he’s the kind of pretentious douche who uses sangfroid at least once during every brunch.
