Schumer just crushes it in this sketch.
Amy Schumer wants you to get over your fond Cosby memories already | New York Post: "For the generation that grew up watching Bill Cosby, his spectacular fall from grace was like watching a wall of your childhood home ripped away....

“We deserve to dance like no one’s watching and watch like no one’s raping,” Schumer pleads to the jury. Even with all the fond memories of Cosby reruns, that’s just too much to ask anymore."
