Are "MOST" women funny?

[blankedboy]

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever even seen a female comedian. This is weird...

 

[Soviet Steve]

Nope, and female comedians have never managed to make me laugh, and it's extremely rare for me to find females in general funny, except as a subject of ridicule.

Hitchens is being unfair.
Some women know how to be unfunny by doing supposed "male-emulative" humor too. Just look at Lisa Lampanelli. I hear she likes darker men; it doesn't come up much in her routine, but if you read between the lines, you can get this impression.

female comedians suck. 90% of them dont even get a laugh out of me.

i think its just the topics they talk about and the delivery of their material it just doesnt do anything for me.

Are "MOST" men funny?

Think about it. No, seriously.

We are. But looks aren't everything.

/cliche

No. Most men aren't funny. But, neither are most women. It's a talent.

Exactly.

Ugh. Here are a bunch of words to satisfy the people who report you for one word posts. Babboon Dream.

[link]http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/01/hitchens200701[/link] I refer you all to this collumn. I don't know if it's been linked here already, but I think he makes a few valid points. Women don't have to be funny, men do.

I have to agree - female comedians are strikingly unfunny. Seriously, I have never seen a female comedian that managed to make me laugh. That being said, I have met girls who I've found funny...not hilariously funny, but still pretty funny.

I dont know about you but I just dont find women comedians very funny. Its like girls can only be funny to girls but not to guys. However guys are funny to both guys and girls. Am I wrong?
The way I feel when I watch a girls stand up routine is like being at an all women get together drinking tea discussing periods, menopause, and other things guys dont want to hear because its a huge pennies repellent.
So tell me how you feel about girl comedians. Do you find them funny?

EDIT: Because I always have to explain some more. Im talking on average are women funny. Yes there are funny women but are the majority funny?

Agree with you op. It seems many women have a certain kind of humor (a bad one). Not all of course, but many. There are extremely few women I find funny. Comedians: almost none (I actually cant think of a single one), but I do have funny friends that are girls. My girlfriend for instance

But yes OP, girls are not funny. Usually.

Edit: Read the Vanity Fair article. Good stuff.

Women comedians arent funny because they cant act like bitter old men (Dylan Moran)

 

[Snake Plissken]

Dude, as a male, you should really look into learning how to spell your own genitalia. Last time I checked, I didn't have "pennies" between my legs.

On topic, no, I almost never find female comedians funny. But I do adore the ones I do find funny. The same go for female musicians...I hate 95% of female musicians. I don't believe it has anything to do with sexism. I just rarely find their routines or music enjoyable. Not my cup of tea. I think lots of people would agree.

 

[LimitedPunctuation]

women are only funny if you want to get laid by them.

this man speaketh the truth

 

[PurplePlatypus]

Stand up comedians? I don?t think most of them are funny, male or female.
I think comedians do much better making comedy shows. As far as ones made by female comedians Dinner Ladies and Catherin Tate comes to mind.

 

[WestMountain]

I think female comedians are mostly obnoxious and wants shock value-laughs, they often go with the "Oh no she cant say that because she's a woman, she's so crazy!-humor"

 

[smithy_2045]

Most people aren't funny, male or female.

 

[shadowyoasis]

I've only ever met one good female comedian and I can't remember her name now .

For the most part though I agree with a lot of what Hitchen says. Women comedians don't make funny jokes, but are rather just shock and awe. Which I don't find funny male or female.

I've laughed at a few of em(never at lisa) but I've never laughed so hard I lost my breath a few times like I've done at a few comedy shows. Jokes from male comedians are just better. Its not just the jokes though its the delivery too.

 

[Elliee]

Funny woman is a good women! When I ask my friends (girls) for a ideal men, they answer me "must be funny"

 

[Priddo]

Don't watch much stand up, let alone females doing stand up, so don't know about that. In general I know some fairly funny girls though.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I listened to SOME funny women comedians, but male comedians are generally funnier to me.

Don't me wrong, the funniest person I know is a girl.

And, like people have said, this is kind of a stupid question. You probably should change it to "Are most woman COMEDIANS funny?". Kind of a key word there.
