Amy Schumer reveals the happy, unexpected side effect of Twitter trolls
Watch Next

For most celebrities, Twitter trolls are a thing to be either ignored or fought back against.

Amy Schumer has a different use for them, though.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Schumer spoke about the constant feedback she gets from the internet about her body.

"Sometimes it kind of backfires, I think, on the trolls," says Schumer in the clip above. "Cuz the other day, somebody tweeted about me: 'Amy Schumer's body looks like a bag of mashed potatoes'.

"And I was like: Okay, now I need mashed potatoes. You know? And I had them."
