Amy Schumer, winner of Glamour's Trailblazer of the Year award, accepted her trophy with an impromptu standup routine that incldues the story of how she lost her two front teeth and got her period in the same week. In the five-minute speech, the comedian manages to use the word "dick" three times as well as the phrase "Jack o'lantern with tits." Bravo.
