Amy Schumer Skewers Bill Cosby Rape Scandal With Hilarious Sketch
Posted on Wed May 27th, 2015 9:15am PDT By X17 Staff
We love Amy Schumer -- and so should you!
The always provocative funny lady took a stab at the Bill Cosby rape scandal on last night's Inside Amy Schumer and it's pretty damn hilarious.
In the sketch, the blonde lady plays Bill Cosby's fictional defense attorney in the comic's trial in the Court of Public Opinion. Ha!
The scene starts with the prosecutor's closing arguments before Schumer takes the stage. How does Schumer plan on getting Cosby out of this image-destroying jam? Why by playing an episode of The Cosby Show, giving jurors pudding pops and presenting them with Cosby sweaters of course! The basic premise of the sketch is Cosby couldn't have possibly drugged and raped all these women because he's the beloved Dr. Huxtable -- and even if he did, why would we want to destroy our memories of The Cosby Show by letting his reputation be sullied?
From the sweater jokes to the wacky dancing and on to the dozens of rape allegations, Amy puts all things Bill Cosby on trial -- and succeeds at poking fun of the world's love of the now-tarnished comedian.
Inside Amy Schumer airs on Comedy Central on Tuesday nights at 10:30 PM.
