Why aren't women funny? I don't think I'm being sexist ...
 

Be your gender what it may, you will certainly have heard the following from a female friend who is enumerating the charms of a new (male) squeeze: "He's really quite cute, and he's kind to my friends, and he knows all kinds of stuff, and he's so funny ? " (If you yourself are a guy, and you know the man in question, you will often have said to yourself, "Funny? He wouldn't know a joke if it came served on a bed of lettuce with sauce béarnaise.") However, there is something that you absolutely never hear from a male friend who is hymning his latest (female) love interest: "She's a real honey, has a life of her own ? [interlude for attributes that are none of your business] ? and, man, does she ever make 'em laugh."

Now, why is this? Why is it the case?, I mean. Why are women, who have the whole male world at their mercy, not funny? Please do not pretend not to know what I am talking about.

I dunno man, maybe you aren't meeting the right chicks. I can think of 4 or 5 chicks right off the bat I know that are totally hilarious. Only of them is hot, so maybe they're making up for something?

errrr that doesnt sound right

Who are the 5 best comedians of all time?

I think you are onto something.

Supposedly I'm funny and witty. Dave Attell even asked permission to steal something I said to him once for when he does shows. So there.

It was about Laci Peterson, and it was really mean :(

I pretend chicks are funny too when I'm on my way to getting laid. Are you hot?

As I said ...

We're too busy being whores to be funny.


Sluttiness takes a lot of work, fyi.

Lack of the ability to abstract things?

And for the record, you hear us say stuff like that because we're concerned about what might happen if we're actually alone together and not naked.

Your gender is more concerned about all the anatomical parts being in the right places and being of the right size. The rest doesn't seem to dawn on you, until much later. :1orglaugh



Hey isabelllo- I love Dave Attell. He's one of my favorites.

We are funny. We just share the jokes amongst ourselves and let the men think they are the comedians :)

So true. That explains why every chick is on her cellphone while driving, why 2/3 of myspace profiles are females and why guys are always waiting for girls to finish getting ready.

Are you trying to be funny? You're funnier when stoned, Peaches.

women dont have to be funny. They only have to be funny when they look like shit or are lesbian.

I'm funny...most of my friends told me that..
well i guess you should find some girls who is fun to be with..
and good luck to you...:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Fokker, every time you post that pic it reminds me I need a trip to the plastic surgeon for a boob lift :( I plan on being VERY stoned during that procedure :)

Now, THAT was funny. You most definitely are a dude.

Jesus, you must be one of those chicks who starts her day with affirmations. I bet you have little sticky notes on your vanity mirror. "Be positive".

Kinda funny, my girlfriend said the same thing yesterday when we were watching Bill Hicks and Eddie Izzard shows.

I dont mean to offend anyone, but i have -never- seen a funny female stand-up comedian, and i have seen quite a few female comedians.

How guys think - by Colin Delia

A chick with a good sense of humor is a chick that laughs at MY jokes.

Through the years there have been a few truly funny women on SNL and Mad TV but not many.

I don't think I'm particularly funny, but I get laughs occasionally. I go see stand up shows all the time, and hardly ever do they have a woman, and when they do, she's usually the opener, so of course she's not as funny as the headliner... But some of the top funniest I have seen have been women.

I get burned out on stand up every now and then though, because so much of it is the same boring sexist (against women AND men) bullshit over and over, and I don't really get into that stuff.

Truth. Every guy reading this right now is thinking "Is Ayla hot"? None of us is wondering "Is Ayla funny"? Well, except that guy who never gets laid and thinks if he is nice to you he might get some. Somehow. Like, maybe he can save all his money for a few months and fly you out to visit him. After he gets you to like him online first. Any minute now he might stroll on in and say "Well, I wanna know if Ayla is funny".

I can't believe I'm about to willingly give you this to use against me, but Kathy Griffin cracks me up.


I also think Sarah Silverman is really funny. And Janeane Garafolo has her moments, although it's usually hit or miss with her.

Sarah Silverman is hilarious. And HOT. (Though she is basically a guy in a hot woman's body)

I honnestly think I can be funny...

That face-off would last as long as a quadriplegic 12 year old spending the night alone at Michael Jackson's house.

kathleen madigan is kind of funny. Would never win a beauty contest though.

Here is Kathleen hugging Louie Anderson, and no he didn't put out that night.

I think women would be a lot more funny if you didn't talk so much. Men only listen to important shit like how many touchdowns Peyton Manning threw last night. Not about what kind of x-mas decorations you plan on putting up. So once we hear something were not interested in even if you do crack a joke we'll miss it because we have already blocked your voice out after the first sentence. Don't be fooled by the questions we ask, thats just so you don't get mad that we haven't heard a word you said for the last 10 minutes. haha

There are things that either side keep to themselves and things they simply can't say (just as you wrote "she has a beautiful life, etc.")...if these wall are broken through, we're talking about a major breakthrough in life...and it can occur sometimes between lifelong friends, lovers etc...This is my opinion.

LOL I don't know who've been hanging out with, but dude, I am fucking HYSTERICAL and it's no secret. The guys love it and the chicks dig it. I have a wicked sense of humour and sarcasm is a dish best served to anyone!

And no, I am not fat and ugly that I had to have a sense of humour to get by!

I WAS going to say that my wife is quite hilarious BUT, after 18 years, she's kind of adopted my sense of humour. Her timing however leaves something to be desired.

As for standup comedians, I haven't yet seen a funny woman who can hold the stage for an hour.

However, some of the funniest comedic bits ARE about women, albeit said by men...

"A woman won't let a little thing like sense get in the way of her argument," - Chris Rock

"A girl phoned me and said, "Come on over. There's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home!" - Rodney Dangerfield

Look, I already admitted I'd take a beating on that one.


But I swear if you watch 4 hours of her on a (channel I can't remember) marathon, with 3 gay guys and a pitcher of daiquiris, you'll laugh your ass off.



(and please notice that I refrained from throwing in any "...and a night with 3 gay guys and a pitcher of daiquiris should be something most of you know all about" comments)

well, I'm not hot, and I don't really care if anyone on GFY thinks I am either. Nor do I particularly care if anyone thinks I'm funny, or cares if I'm funny. I think I'll stick with my boyfriend who apparently likes plain old ugly, unfunny me.

But your bit about the one guy who wants to get laid was pretty good.

I can't think of 1 single female comedian that I've even chuckled to. They're just not funny :(

obviously you've never met a funny woman. :2 cents:

I know some funny chicks. My aunt Alice we call her Crazy Alice for a reason. She's a fucking awesome.

I think anyone can be funny depending on the mood your in.....The New Yorker could be hilarious one minute, dick & fart jokes the next! The same reason why your brain will tell you to laugh at stupid jokes cuz' you wanna get laid...Maybe chicks aren't funny because guys don't want them to be. Maybe guys aren't funny at all, but all our chicks just laugh to make us feel better...Who fuckin knows...I definitely know girls that are hilarious, though.
