No, Nakers is entirely correct - female comedians, or "comediennes", are never funny

About the only memory of Grange Hill I have is when that kid ends up taking some acid and she talks him down off a ledge.

Jo Brand = I'm ugly, I'm fat, my husband's stupid and fat, I don't get any cock
Miranda Hart - I'm socially awkward
That scouse one - I'm fat.

I'm sure all comedians have their particular go to gags, but those three don't seem to have any variety at all. It's like watching an impersonator try to be funny, they keep doing voices. FUCKING STOP DOING VOICES ON PANEL SHOWS BREMNER, YOU CUNT.
( Kroney, Mon 19 May 2014, 11:38, Reply)

I was watching HIGNFY this morning (which was shit), and Jo Brand was on that doing an 'I eat loads, I'm fat' joke every two minutes. It's fucking tedious.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 19 May 2014, 12:05, Reply)

The seat of all comedic thinking is obviously the nutsack.
Whereas in women, all the funny just falls out the growler.
( Kroney, Mon 19 May 2014, 12:07, Reply)

To expand:
Comedy is a resource. It is heavier than air. It falls from space and lands on people, filtering down through their bodies. In men, the ballbag acts like a funny pouch, or bib. It collects the comedy and allows the man to utilise it.

Women just drop it all out their snatch, like a period.
( Kroney, Mon 19 May 2014, 12:09, Reply)

which is why they do so many period jokes

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 19 May 2014, 12:18, Reply)

Well I've yet to encounter a genuinely funny woman, so perhaps it's just a massive coincidence?
But presumably what you're also saying is that people, let's call them 'women', who say that "men can't multi-task" are also fucking idiots?
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Mon 19 May 2014, 12:08, Reply)

i would think it's safe to say that men "don't want to" multi-task

more likely it is that the men listening to it aren't capable of understanding it
if the woman presenting said comedy doesn't look a certain way, because after all, that's all that really matters.

Actually, she might not be.
I remember seeing an Australian female comic and she actually was pretty funny. She was also pretty hot. I think she's got it right, you have to be hot to be a funny woman. Once again hotness proves itself the most important attribute in a woman.

It's because of the space comedy nutsack collector, I've already explained this.

this needed a study???
"Our findings suggest that men's view that men are funnier could be a result of their actually finding the humor they produce funnier"

there isn't a dude on the planet who doesn't find himself hilARious, even though society seldom agrees with him.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 19 May 2014, 12:31, Reply)

that's not science
if miranda and jo brand were a pair of six 6 blonde 17 year old twins with a predilection for threesomes with fat internet geeks, you'd all think they were HILARIOUS.

miranda is a good example
oh look, she isn't funny, because she's a woman. but........ nearly all the scripts are WRITTEN BY MEN. 80% of the writers for that show are men.

www.comedy.co.uk/guide/tv/miranda/details/

it's nothing more than male stereotyping. oh it's a woman, i can't laugh at that.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 19 May 2014, 12:33, Reply)

this may or may not be true
i kind of agree with you. lots of people don't. but it's not because she's a woman, as her writing team clearly shows.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 19 May 2014, 12:40, Reply)

I'm not denying there are unfunny men.
I'm one of them.

But in general men are combative about comedy, and so up the stakes whenever someone else is funny, and this leads to an escalation of comedy. Women are more likely to laugh at the jokes, but are less combative, and so the level remains low.
( Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Mon 19 May 2014, 12:47, Reply)

men just assume, it's a woman, she won't be funny

They're not.
Comedy is combatative, and women are more geared towards sharing. They'll laugh more than men, though.

That's why it's called a "hissy fit"
They're basically just really upset that they haven't got the joke.
