"Did anyone feel raped by that? How about drugged? I felt comforted by a familiar father figure... Not Guilty!"


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....

That’s the challenge Amy Schumer took on in a bold sketch from Tuesday night’s episode of “Inside Amy Schumer,” where she appears in a courtroom to act as Cosby’s defense in the court of public opinion."

"“If convicted, the next time you put on a rerun of ‘The Cosby Show,’ you may wince a little,” Schumer says in the bit. That line likely made viewers squirm, as it’s the exact dilemma they’ve been dealing with since Cosby’s allegations reached a breaking point last fall...

Schumer’s defense-attorney character bribes the jury with Jell-O pudding pops. “How could the face of such a yummy treat even do anything bad?” she asks as the jury chomps down on the pops.

"The problem this bit gets to is that a lot of people — fans of his stand-up, people who grew up on “The Cosby Show,” people who applauded his social activism — just don’t want to process the horrible allegations against him. They barricade off the “Cosby the entertainer” part of their brains because cross-pollinating it with the rational analysis part would make those fond memories turn cancerous...

“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."
