Amy Schumer gave her son the most terrifying doll we've ever seen

American comic Amy Schumer has passed on her childhood doll to her son - and it's absolutely terrifying.

Amy, who welcomed her baby boy Gene Attell with her husband Chris Fischer in May, has gifted her first-born with Pokey the doll, and it's caused quite a reaction among her fans.

The I Feel Pretty actress shared a throwback photo of herself with Pokey on Instagram, and one of her boy with the doll lying by his side, using a love heart emoji to cover his face in the snap.

"Pokey has been scaring children since 1948," she wrote.

"That’s literally terrifying," commented one follower.

"Holy that little doll is terrifying," said another.

"#creepy," wrote another.

And another told her: "And now ill be up all night thanks yo."

Other followers were scratching their heads and asking what Pokey is.

"What is 'Pokey'? A Bear?" asked one.

"Good God Amy, What world is he from?" asked another.

"Omg. Nightmare," said another.

"This has been by far the best year of my life and I spent half of it vomiting everyday," the star joked at the turn of the new year, sharing a snap of herself and her husband with their son.
