Actually I was went ahead and searched to avoid a "google it" response. It was the first option when I typed in "why aren't w"

Anyway, does anyone here disagree?

Didn't Christopher Hitchens do an article on this?

And then he died. Coincidence? I think not.

I don't get it either. It's not like testosterone is the funny hormone, because the funniest comedians aren't particularly manly.

Maybe estrogen is anti-funny.

It's because the vast majority of female comedians resort to UGHHH MEN SUCK AM I RIGHT LADIES? jokes.

Lots of women are funny. I think the difference is that women are attracted to funny guys, but guys are not attracted to funny women.


to clarify: guys care more about looks, most funny people are deeply insecure so they probably are either less attractive or just not confident enough to showcase it.

But yeah in general, women comedians either resort to crap about men, periods, or skinny *****es. Which is rarely funny or original.

Are you giving us examples supporting the notion that women aren't funny? Cause if so, great job. There's nobody as unfunny as those two.

In my experience, the funniest woman comedians are lesbians. Probably because they aren't into dudes, so they don't complain about them as much.

I know a handful of very funny women.
My Mum and one of my best friends mum can be f***ing hilarious.
And you have people like Dawn French and Catherine Tate who are generally pretty funny.

It's just the female comedians that suck out loud.

The world's got plenty of funny women. There just aren't as many that care to become professionally funny.

Still, for comedy stand-up, there are some good women out there...all of which likely hate being known as funny female comics instead of simply funny comics, but that's beside the point. Amy Schumer comes to mind first while Whitney Cummings and Maria Bamford are quality too.

Don't think about female stand-ups and entertainers. Think about the everyday girls that you talk/have talked to. What percentage of them have the wit and storytelling ability to make others laugh out loud? It's simply a rarer trait in women than in men. Women aren't as funny. They don't need to be.

Most women aren't funny and giggle at all kinds of stupid stuff

but there are a few really great female 'comediennes'. As stated, Tina Fey is one of them. Amy Poehler too. Oh and ALISON BRIE

I've seen more unfunny women who believe they're funny than unfunny men who believe they're funny, to be fair...probably because men allowed those women to think they're earning their laughs with humor instead of hopes of getting a piece of DAT ASS.

The second part isn't necessarily related to the first one, though. I do notice women laugh at unfunny stuff far more often than men do.

..

They giggle at things they think are funny, you know that thing we call humor. So if they think unfunny things are humorous, obviously they will tell awful jokes

A logical assumption, but this doesn't always have to be the case. MYC was pretty funny, but she still liked Lewis Black.

So you're agreeing that if a person thinks legitimately funny things are funny, they're probably funny themselves.

ctrl + f Kristen Schaal

no results.
what the hell b8. women comedian worth a damn are rare enough. silverman got by due to being attractive, not funny. Kristen meanwhile got by off of being hilarious.

and she's not THAT obscure. she's been on the daily show quite a few times!! though her material there is admittably worse than her stand up. by a lot.
