Amy Schumer’s April Fools’ prank this year didn’t exactly go the way she hoped—and the punchline ended up being on her. The Kinda Pregnant star, famous for her bold and often edgy sense of humor, decided to play a classic prank on her husband, Chris Fischer, by pretending she was pregnant. But Chris shut it down so fast, it left both of them sitting in awkward silence.
In the video, which Amy shared on Instagram on April 1, she tries to sell the big “surprise” to Chris on camera. But without even blinking, Chris responds with a calm, “No, you’re not.” And when Amy challenges him on how he could be so confident, he delivers a mic-drop of a reply: “You don’t have a uterus.”
Cue the silence. Amy just turns to the camera, totally deadpan, and says, “Alright, never mind.” She captioned the post with a simple but honest confession: “April Fools fail.”
The reason Chris’s answer was so on-point? Amy has been open in the past about undergoing surgery in 2021 due to endometriosis—a condition that had caused her a ton of pain for years. During that procedure, doctors removed her uterus and appendix, along with 30 spots of endometriosis. At the time, Amy shared her recovery journey publicly, using her platform to raise awareness and encourage other women not to ignore serious period pain.
Even though the prank flopped, Amy and Chris are still going strong. The two tied the knot back in 2018 in a low-key Malibu ceremony and just recently celebrated seven years of marriage. Amy marked the milestone with a throwback wedding photo on Instagram and a hilarious caption: “7 years ago we signed a prenup and haven’t had to utilize it! Love you, babe.” They’re also proud parents to their 5-year-old son, Gene David.
So yeah, the joke may have bombed, but fans loved the moment anyway. Leave it to Amy Schumer to turn an awkward silence into a relatable, laugh-out-loud moment—proof that even when the joke doesn’t land, she still knows how to keep it real (and funny).
