Amy Schumer is receiving a strong blend of fame and criticism for "Inside Amy Schumer," which premiered in 2013 but is becoming more popular than ever, for several reasons.

The show consists of sketches, stand-up and on-and-off-set interviews. Some skits are obvious satires, whereas others poke fun at serious issues, which can be uncomfortable to sit through, for example, her race jokes.

For me, Schumer and ignorance is the butt of this joke, but it is still at an expense other than hers, so controversy is not without reason.

“I will joke about things you aren’t comfortable with. And that’s OK. Stick with me and trust I am joking...that includes making dumb jokes involving race. I enjoy playing the girl who time to time says the dumbest thing possible.”

According to the David Simms, at The Atlantic, "Schumer’s 'character' is often that of an ignorant, middle-class white woman whose comic sentiments underline her own stupidity and unacknowledged privilege. It’s an act that sometimes falls short - just like all stand-up acts often do."

In the clip below, Amy's character attempts to play a war video game that is "just like Call of Duty except...way more realistic."

Amy tells her boyfriend what happened, and his first response is, "No," followed by at least three more. "That's never happened to me, you must have pressed the wrong button."

I don't think Schumer is trying to gain from the issue in this skit, or add to rape culture, but reveal it as it does in her boyfriend's choice of words. Denying a victim's trauma is trauma. That's the satire of it; his jaw-dropping responses are blatantly ridiculous but yet not far from some realities.

Schumer's also covers sexual encounters, confidence and body image issues, specifically targeting herself. After witnessing such material, you might not believe that she gave a speech about the importance of confidence at the Gloria Awards and Gala last may. In it, she tells a story from her college-days and one can get a sense of what fuels her inspiration.

"This self-mockery could turn into masochism, but somehow it never does, in part because the sharpness of the jokes is itself a form of self-assertion" (Emily Nussbaum, The New Yorker).

In some instances, it's clear that she is using satire to comment on certain issues, but there are times where she pushes the limit. Amy Schumeradmits that her main goal is comedy; she insults for the laughs. Such platform is prone to controversy, which she consciously invites.
