Ep 5. Gang Bang

Inside Amy Schumer is a comedy sketch show that features Amy Schumer's signature style of humor - a mix of satire, sarcasm, and irreverence. Season 1 episode 5, titled "Gang Bang," is no exception. In fact, it might be one of the raunchiest episodes of the entire series, which is saying something.

The episode begins with a sketch where Amy and a group of women are all sitting around a coffee table, knitting. They're all talking about how much they love knitting, how it's their favorite thing in the world, etc. But then the conversation takes a sexual turn, as they start talking about how much they love "knitting" with their boyfriends. It's a clever double entendre, and the way the women talk about it is simultaneously hilarious and cringe-worthy.

From there, the episode delves into even more taboo territory, with sketches about sexting, threesomes, and of course, the titular gang bang. One sketch features Amy at a themed party where everyone is dressed up like different kinds of sandwiches. It's a silly concept, but the punchline is that Amy is the only one who came dressed as a "gang bang," complete with a train of guys following behind her. Again, it's a little uncomfortable to watch, but that's part of Schumer's appeal - she's not afraid to go there.

Another standout sketch involves Amy and her friends talking about how much they love giving blowjobs. They go into detail about the best techniques, the tastiest flavors, and even have a song-and-dance number about how "it's not gay if it's in a three-way." It's all done with a very tongue-in-cheek approach, but it's still pretty graphic stuff.

Despite all the sexual content, there are still some sketches that stay on the more family-friendly side. One highlight is a parody of a cooking show, where Amy plays a chef who's trying to create a dish by blending together all the colors of the rainbow. It's a clever commentary on the trendy food movement, and Schumer's deadpan delivery sells the joke perfectly.

Overall, season 1 episode 5 of Inside Amy Schumer is a mixed bag. Some of the sketches are genuinely hilarious, while others are more cringe-worthy than anything else. But that's part of the show's appeal - it's not afraid to take risks and push boundaries. If you're looking for a comedy show that's not afraid to tackle taboo subjects, then this episode (and the whole series, really) is definitely worth checking out.
