Amy Schumer isn't simply humble about her fame, she's shocked by it.
When knowledgeable in a latest interview with Howard Stern that her "Porn Instructor" sketch from the Oct. 10, 2015 episode of Saturday Evening Stay is the comedy program's most-viewed video on YouTube, Schumer responded, "Are you able to imagine that? Probably the most seen SNL sketch of all time is me and Kyle Mooney, the 'Porn Instructor.'"
"I need to convey it again for the fiftieth," Schumer continued, "the place I'm like a realtor or one thing. I used to be shocked to listen to that and then you definately're like, 'After all, everyone's a pervert.'"
Within the sketch, Schumer in attractive instructor mode tantalizes scholar Mooney, doing his greatest picket porn actor impression, giving the viewer the impression that the pair are gearing as much as movie a hardcore scene for a porn movie. However they're frequently interrupted by Aidy Bryant, who performs a precocious scholar who takes all Schumer's double entendres at face worth.
When Stern requested Schumer who wrote the sketch, the Trainwreck star responded, "Oh, some pervert. Yeah, no, we simply did it, thought nothing of it," she continued. "It's like 100-something million, it has greater than 'Cowbell,' you understand, essentially the most traditional. Folks actually are perverts."

Reps for Saturday Evening Stay didn’t reply to Leisure Weekly's request for clarification on which author penned or spearheaded the writing of "Porn Instructor." The season 42 head writing crew consisted of Chris Kelly, Sarah Schneider, Bryan Tucker, and Kent Sublette, who'd been with this system since season 40. Different notable employees writers on the time included Michael Che, Colin Jost, Julio Torres, and Sudi Inexperienced.
The "Cowbell" sketch Schumer referred to is known as one of many sequence most enduringly widespread. "Extra Cowbell" first aired on the April 8, 2000 episode of SNL and was written by Will Ferrell. The sketch revolves across the recording of the Blue Öyster Cult music "(Don't Concern) The Reaper," and depicts an overeager cowbell participant (Ferrell) annoying members of the band (Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, Chris Parnell, and Horatio Sanz) along with his fixed dinging, that paradoxically pleases the producer performed by host Christopher Walken.
"Extra Cowbell" solely has 28 million views on YouTube; that's nothing to scoff at, but it surely pales compared to the 106 million racked up by "Porn Instructor." These counts don't replicate take downs and re-uploads by the SNL channel. "Extra Cowbell" was uploaded solely 5 years in the past, regardless of premiering on broadcast tv 20 years earlier than that, for instance.

Each "Porn Instructor" and "Extra Cowbell" continuously seem on SNL "greatest sketches" checklist, as "Cowbell" did when it was named one of the best sketch of season 20 on EW's rating of one of the best sketch from every season of SNL in 2014.
On YouTube, "Porn Instructor" is adopted in second place by "Black Jeopardy," a sketch from 2016 that includes Sasheer Zamata, Leslie Jones, Kenan Thompson, and host Tom Hanks. Schumer could also be onto one thing with the pervert allegations, because the third most-watched sketch on the platform is the Lindsay Lohan-starring "Harry Potter: Hermoine Development Spurt," from a 2004 episode.
Not like "Black Jeopardy," "Porn Instructor" by no means bought a follow-up or continuation. At the very least, not one that includes Schumer. Bryant did return because the credulous naif in one other porn-themed sketch in a 2017 episode, this time that includes Heidi Gardner as a babysitter and host Probability the Rapper as a pizza supply man.
