In Tuesday’s episode of Comedy Central’s “Inside Amy Schumer,” the comedian mocks child beauty pageants with a spoof of the television show “Toddlers & Tiaras.”

In the “Babies & Bustiers” sketch, Schumer stars as Amy Merryweather Sherman, a 6-year-old with “Fetal Red Bull Syndrome” — she ages at five times the normal rate.

“I was put on this great earth to win pageants and spread the word of the Almighty,” Sherman tells the camera.

While Sherman is driving with her mother, Cleopatra Sherman, who is played by Jennifer Coolidge, her mother scolds Amy for indulging in a snack.

“I told you not to eat!” she tells her daughter in the back seat. “You’re not allowed to eat. You’ll bloat!”

Cleopatra later tells the camera that “every stage mother I’ve ever met is absolutely crazy.”

“And it’s weird to be the only grounded one in the bunch,” she says.

“If God didn’t want this for my daughter, then why the hell did he make her so friggin’ attractive?” Cleopatra later asks.

The sketch ends with Amy’s having a small wardrobe malfunction on stage.

“To Be Continued unfortunately…” the text across the screen reads.
