There are times when TV shows can be just a little too long. Despite the initial appeal of staring mindlessly at a screen for several hours, occasionally people get bored or have one of those real life responsibility things that they must attend to. If this scenario seems familiar to you then, it is time to switch up what you have been watching.

Inside Amy Schumer is likely the most commitment free show you could find. Each episode is entirely independent from the one before it, so you are not as likely to get sucked into the whole ‘I need to watch another episode to find out what happens next’ trap.

In fact, you do not even have to watch an entire episode in one sitting.

Each installment of Inside Amy Schumer is made up of short, diverse, and hilarious sketches interspersed with real on-the-street interviews with everyday people. The only consistency between each piece is the star, comedian Amy Schumer.

The show first aired on Comedy Central back in 2013 and covers a massive number of topics; it is impossible to pinpoint the main themes throughout the show because there are none.

One sketch, for instance, stars Schumer and her boyfriend shopping for a new shirt for him. The segment is cleverly titled ‘Say Fine to the Shirt’ and parodies TLC’s reality show Say Yes to the Dress.

in addtion, another segment highlights a fake boy band’s music video convincing Schumer that she is beautiful without makeup on, only to realize that once she has taken it off they prefer it on.

Furthermore, the number of impressive actors and actresses who have been on the show is extremely extensive. They include Tim Gunn, Dennis Quaid, Bill Hader, America Ferrera, and Tina Fey.

If you are looking for a low commitment show that will make you laugh (a lot), then give Inside Amy Schumer a try. Each sketch is only a few minutes long, so if one does not strike your fancy, then the next is sure to do so.

Even if you have never heard of Amy Schumer before in your life (although I am not sure many of us are in that position) after spending a few episodes with her, I can almost guarantee you will start to love her.
