okay, so i think the general consensus is most women in comedy arn't funny because men can't connect to them on their material, but then why do so many women laugh at mens material? BECAUSE ITS A MANS WORLD DAMNIT! ...I really hope you're being sarcastic. If not, that's a really, really awful thing to say. |

I can't believe some of you guys are seriously debating this. Being a man or woman has no bearing on a person's ability to tell jokes and be funny. Some women are funny and some aren't. Just like some men are funny and some aren't. If anyone that thinks that this thread's title is a fact instead of an opinion, it's not.

Sarah Silverman is awesome, Maria Bamford rules, Ellen Degeneres is pretty damn good. Those are the first three that pop into my head. I don't count Lampinelli, because I consider her the female equivalent to Carlos Mencia. They're both one joke wonders.(Mencia: I'm latino, isn't that hilarious? Lampinelli: I like black guys, isn't that hilarious?) This is all true. Agreed on all points. Anyone who speaks ill of my mistress Sarah Silverman (ssshh ... don't tell Amy!) gets a crack in the mouth, ya bastards! Also, I think Ellen is great because she doesn't (a) swear a lot or (b) let every joke be "OMG I'M T3H LEZBEEINZ0RZ!!1!!!" as I'm sure was expected when she came out. Plus, I thought she was awesome as Dory in Finding Nemo. And yeah ... I have to agree with the "this is completely sexist" sentiment. Seriously, WTF? Did someone's mom/sister/girlfriend piss in their Cheerios or something? When did Off-Topic become the Misogyny Zone? |

Sarah Silverman makes me ill. Not funny whatsoever. "Ooh look at me, I'm a cute jewish girl who talks about sex and delibrately offends people to get laughs. Heehee." Pathetic.
Except for that, I have no problem with female comics. Most of them anyways.

To be fair, the percentage of funny women vs. unfunny ones is probably about the same as the percentage for men. There's just more men doing it, is all. We have a winner. I'm highly annoyed by the non-dimensional critiques for females in comedy in this thread. |

I'm gonna go with "no," and also imply that they are Stan Marsh, while most women are Wendy Testaburger, and thusly illicit the same reaction upon approach. I will, however, agree with any hate Lisa Lampanelli gets, but only if they are based on her idea of humor. She's not funny to me, but it's because her jokes are lame, not because she's a woman. Hell, most of my good friends are female, and they are some of the funniest people I know. |

I was in love with Laura Kightlinger when I was a teen. Twisted sense of humor that appeals to me still to this day.

Throw in a foul mouth and you've got yourself a career?!? Next please. Ladies can be funny. The ones that get exposure just aren't. |

I am still completely blown away by the misogyny in this thread.
It makes me sick.

2. This thread is stupid and sexist. There's been a lot of this anti-women crap lately. I always thought this was a smart message board, I'm starting to doubt it. Ah, don't give up hope. Every so often, we get a few renditions of the Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song. No biggie. And on-topic, there are some funny comediennes out there. But they're outshadowed by Crap Merchants like Silverman and Lampinelli. |

I remember Jerry Lewis saying that women comedians aren't as funny as male comedians. I fully disagree because there are funny women comedians out there like Ellen Degeneres and Maria Bamford. I also like Judy Gold to an extent.
Most comedians I don't care for except for Lewis Black, Greg Fitzsimmons and Christopher Titus.

They shouldn't be funny, who's got time for perfecting comedy when they should be in the kitchen cooking, and then bringin me a beer when it's time to watch the game, and then ready for some lovin' when the game is over.*
* does not reflect actual thoughts on the matter, but I found it a hilarious aside to go with the general theme of the he-man woman haters club o'late. carry on.
