Are women disabled when it comes to comedy?

[_bruce_]

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

Pretty sure you're not in danger of getting fucked.

Don't get me started on the recent push for women comedians.  That fat ugly kunt Amy Schumer or the really obese Mcartney.  I just don't laugh, but a lot of women do so although we think they're unfunny, millions of women are paying to watch them and think they are.

The best female stand up comics are either ugly, or had circumstances where they had to be legitimately funny or they weren't going anywhere on the circuit. Now the bar is set low because of political correctness, or simply guys wanting to get into their pants by moving them up the ladder.

Cloris Leachman, Joan Rivers, Phyllis Diller, Lawanda Page, etc.... all had chops because they were ugly to average looking broads in an era when guys weren't afraid to say it if someone was terrible. If they couldn't hang, some talent booker was behind the scenes like - "This bitch is terrible, what's Rickles or Pat Cooper doing next week?".

Likewise, a lot of the better female talent I see now a days is from the urban/black "chitlin circuit". Those crowds don't have the same PC/Guilt hang ups that other places do, if someone is terrible, they're getting booed, hit with a chicken wing, etc....

Women are generally not funny, nor are the capable of being funny.

They will often say a good sense of humour is one of the most important qualities they look for in a partner. If you can make a woman laugh, you can get her in bed.

Why? Because they themselves are not funny.

Female comedians are often feminist. No one like them!

Unsexy. Ugly! A female comedian can never be sexy!

Females should be nice quiet with low personality. Then they get dick!

Loud bitches scare dick!

Not many female stand ups I like but there's been some excellent female comedic actresses.

Shelley Long - Cheers
Sigourney Weaver - Galaxy Quest, Ghostbusters
Anna Faris - Observe and Report
Christina Applegate - Married with Children, Anchorman
Diane Keaton
Diane Weist - Parenthood
Carol Kane - too many to mention
Julie Hagerty - Airplane

just some examples...

Joan rivers cracked my ass up till the end

Yeah she probably is best female all time in my book.

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.

You can tell a funny and degrading story about yourself, but it requires being a good story teller and not thinking people should laugh because you had your period and no sanitary pads so shoved an egg up there.

A lot of comedy requires being good at telling a story, not expecting some shitty inconvenience to be hilarious.

Joan Rivers was good but she had more Jewish self-deprecation to her humour that seperated her from most women. She was also sharp and didn't give much of a fuck.

The BBC and probably Channel 4 (not officially but I've noticed it) made it a rule that every comedy panel show must have one woman. If that is the case, every fashion show should have one hetrosexual male. Just women and flaming homos on every fashion show - maybe a straight man could tell a woman what dress looks good on her. You know, the person who will pay for it and fuck her.

Also funny. Gets very dark, goes about it in a clever way.

Diane Keaton?

Are you serious?

I'd rather read a goddamn Howard post before listening to that whiny old hag

Really? She isn't too prominent here, all I have seen is shitty Matt Damon song and general unfunniness - but she does have the Jew humour card in her favour. Assuming Silverman is a Jewish name.

On a wider issue, learning to use humour to deflect abuse/criticism or to impress others is why men and Jews pervade comedy so deeply. It can be a defence mechanism as well as a strong form of retaliation when you're younger - nothing better than a good put down to a shitty remark to shut someone up or humiliate them, and nothing better to distract from being insulted or having piss taken out of you than to accept it with humour. How can you piss off someone who laughs off your insults with humour?

Most girls don't have this need or this way of going about these challenges.

I can't think of anyone on this board that I haven't insulted.

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.

Probably the only woman who could be funny at any given time. I can watch a chick on comedy central do a comedy routine and get a couple of laughs out of it but watch it again in 6 months and it never holds up.

I was literally going to post about this earlier this afternoon. I was getting my oil changed and was in the waiting room while "Ellen Degenerous" came on. It was fucking horrible. I was wondering who actually thought she was funny. She told some story of her and her wife (oh brother) and it was terrible. Not funny at all. To add one to a few of the others mentioned, I thought Wanda Sykes was funny about ten years ago.

I think most of us have insulted everyone here, you retard 

I mean that when growing up (adolesence especially) it is a tool to overcome these issues.

Oh and the whole women put humour as the most important thing they look for in a man thing is total horseshit. Up there with looks don't matter and love crosses all boundaries. Humour is great, but to think some fatso with a neckbeard will get a girl over a Mike O'Hearn lookalike (in fact a doll that looks like Mike O'Hearn - ie Mike O'Hearn) is bullshit. Women subconsciously want good genes for their offspring, same as men want a woman with tits to feed a baby subconsciously. That doesn't mean a neckbeard telling jokes with cheetos in facial hair - it means Clint Thrust with his good build/large bank account/power.
