Amy Schumer, a popular stand-up comedian and actress, will appear in the Tyler Spindel movie Kinda Pregnant in February. The first trailer has stirred mixed reactions from netizens who used the humor shield to express personalized opinions.
The trailer revealed a brief idea about the plot. Envious of her best friend's pregnancy, Lainy (Amy Schumer) decides to pull a 'fake pregnancy' act. She is seen using a plastic baby bump to deceive those around her. The hilarious concept might have attracted sitcom lovers, but it turns out that anti-Amy fans had different plans!
Schumer has not been regarded as a favorite following her previous controversial remarks and jokes. Many often consider her jokes as 'unfunny' and insensitive. The resentment, thus, affected her career as an actress. Let's delve into some of the fan reactions to the Kinda Pregnant Trailer.

Well, do you remember the last time we got a movie because we asked for one? That's a common factor between movies and social media opinions. Both are uncalled for, yet they reach us at set intervals.

Schumer was meant for the role (in a good way, of course)! The Netflix girlies are loving the idea and the cast definitely serves the cherry on the cake. Who cares about critics if you can pull the character effortlessly?

The comments got us asking the same question. The flooding negativity and memes had us wondering, "If nobody likes her, who is attending the stand-up events, following her socials, or watching her movies?" One of the top ten questions Science can't answer!

In response to the question, "Is there a single person on earth who likes her?" an Amy fan clapped back at the user. Many feel that Amy hate arises from underlying misogyny. Do you think the world would have reacted differently if it was a man who came up with the so-called 'offensive' jokes?
Sounds awful! (via BasedG20265/ X)
Let's admit it, Lois Griffin got the most iconic animated reactions ever. The bizarre concept and Amy's presence had netizens react the same way as Mrs. Griffin. Seems like it's not a good time to be an Amy fan!
