Are women disabled when it comes to comedy?

I was going to state my case, but do I need to?

Last funny woman was Lucy.

Wasn't Lucy one of the first anthropological specimens of humans? Proves my point.

The Lucy specimen is an early australopithecine and is dated to about 3.2 million years ago. The skeleton presents a small skull akin to that of non-hominin apes, plus evidence of a walking-gait that was bipedal and upright, akin to that of humans (and other hominins); this combination supports the (debated) view of human evolution that bipedalism preceded increase in brain size.[3][4]

With very few exceptions, females are NOT funny. Even among pro women comedians. You sit there, listening, and think, What is this bullshit?

1.13-1.30

I know this is some fuckwit but it shows the general misjudgment of what others find funny. I did stand-up for 4 years in college, some impromptu, most scripted, and never saw a female comedian who got how to either shock or amuse the right way. If they go for shock humour it is straight to the period or men not making them come or some other shitty joke. If they go for flat out observational comedy, they fall flat at the heels of making some shitty sexual observation or just not being funny and making a statement.

I was gonna put an asterisk beside her,  but her comedy was just being full on bitch with the apathy of a man to what anybody thinks. Still funny but the exception.

Jodi miller is funny

Not funny and factually inaccurate.

Cats are cleaner than dogs for one. Secondly, they may puke but they hide their shit. Moving on to her "jokes" - predictability of a Chinese market crash happening in the next year, accuracy and relevance of a bomb dropped on a special needs school. Yes I meant both those words.

The funniest female comedian is like the 87th funniest overall comedian.

Pretty unfair on number 88.

The BBC made it a rule, ie unbreakable, to have no women on a comedy panel. There must be one. No such rule applies to programmes on stitching or cleaning up your partner's vomit.

There is nothing worse than female comedians that are reduced to swearing, being loud, and making non-stop sex jokes.

Joking about bodily functions = lame. Almost as bad as jokes about the weather.

In before someone says Amy Schumer.  Hate that bitch.

Hithens, hmmmm

Not Hitchens' biggest fan, he does make good points but even concedes in that video that he wants a negative response (ie trolling). It is widely known that men need humour to get women/attention and women do not have to overcome the same hurdle as men in attracting attention.

I discussed a similar matter with a friend earlier. GF gets changed in front of me, I want to fuck cos I see skin/tit etc. I could prance around (well that would be bent, stroll around) naked all day and unless I (revealing a secret here) took her and kissed her neck from behind, as I do, up to her ear, and kept up this ritual for seduction, talking sweet nothings and keeping her mood in mind I will seduce her.

Talk about a pay gap, let's talk about an effort required to garner sex act. Let's get that on the agenda.

Lisa Lamp...whatever...

This is the point. They ALL fall back on this. ALL.

This or bitching about celebrities. No thematic basis to the humour just bitching with an exclamation mark attached.

Ever notice when you have your period and are a total dick to your boyfriend for 4 days?

No! Cos none of us has a partner and we are all single due to our self hatred and inability to control hormonal impulses.

I made that up but it is every female comedian in a microcosm.

Women tend to like to talk about themselves more than men. When it comes to comedy if you want to really annoy the audience talk about yourself. I have no clue why comedians don't stop that crap of "so today I met this guy / girl" "so my husband / wife /boyfriend" etc.

The genius of the best comedians is they talk about broad topics that everyone can understand and don't talk about themselves.

If I see a clip on youtube or a tv show and the comedian be it man or woman goes on about either a topic that is obscure or about themselves I turn it off right away.

[Wiggs]

For me, there are some funny women but I don't find humor in women being vulgar and classless. I'm quite turned off by it.

[phreak]

OP: One needs intelligence to be funny, so yes.

Joan Rivers is the only female comedian I can think of that made me laugh. The rest are terminally unfunny. Even the audiences find them crap and just give sympathy laughs.
And yes, female comedians that are vulgar and make jokes about their sex lives are the worst.
