| I don't think I've seen very many funny female stand up comedians, they might have a good joke or two but other than that they aren't very good. I believe women can be funny but not intentionally. |

Pxi2 said: You pretty much summed up the problem, at least when it comes to stand up comedy. Too many of them (at least among the ones I know of) tend to limit themselves in terms of subjects they adress in their sketches. Every female comedian seems to always focuses on their gender role and sex life. I'd like to see more diversity. Even the video posted earlier by Reciprocal to prove women can make you laugh (even though it was pretty funny) was somehow related to gender roles : women believed to all have cute laughs, when in fact they don't. |

Jody32 said: And I await the day that stupid, misanthropic inspired threads on MAL get a permanent ban from the forums. Do a better job. Please? Damn I love how people simply ask for a ban for everything they disagree on. I should become dictator, people will love me as long as I ban every being from the country that they dislike, until there is no one left. I think its true that women arent as funny, but I dont think its a biological reason but more one of upbringing. Its like they are bound to either be more refined and then they are limited, or if they arent then they take it too far and almost make the jokes for the sake of being disgusting than to make the audience laugh. That said most stand up comedians are shit tough, and since there are more male comedians chances are higher that there is atleast one or two among them that are funny. With a smaller pool of female comedians chances are way lower there is a good one amongst them. But even outside Stand up, in movies for example its always been males that made the best comedy, Laurel and Hardy, Mr. Bean, Charlie Chaplin, Jackie Chan and even others its basically alwas a mal except for a few exceptions. |

It's exactly like what you said above, statistics : way more males involved in the industry, way more chances of finding a few gems among the pile of shaite. Add to that the problems already pointed by other users regarding the female stand up comedy scene or the influence of gender roles in general, and here we are. |

| I have female friends and one of them is hilarious. Just sayin'. |
| Cause women are expected by society to stroke mens' egos by laughing over their bad jokes. |

Spooks said: Men probably don't find women comedians funny because they feel left out because women comedians usually only make jokes aimed towards entertaining other women. And most of them fail miserably. I have never witnessed good stand up comedy done by a woman. For some reason I enjoy the stereotypical jokes coming from a man's mouth but when a woman tries to do the same ... or anything political, environmental etc. It sounds way too forced and it might be just because women still think they need to do more to level up to the men's abilities. Idk. But as a woman I find most stand up comediennes very unfunny. I know many women who are funny (of course including myself, I'm hilarious), but there is something that happens on stage that kills all that funny. |

| Humour is really subjective. I am in possession of a vag and I've had people of both genders in absolute stitches before, but then other people will look at me like I've grown a second head when I talk. All of this is without making any actual effort to be funny (or indeed to look like I've grown a second head) but rather just being generally deadpan af; that's my sense of humour, and for people who're into the whole dark humour/deadpan delivery thing it seems to work out well enough. That said, I find most stand-up comedians fucking cringey. I'm not a fan of humour that's trying to be funny, I prefer funny shit that just happens naturally, so the whole thing of standup doesn't really work for me until you get to a more improvised bit with unpredictable elements like audience participation where everything becomes a little more off-the-cuff. Moral of the story? Standup sucks, humour is subjective, gender is irrelevant. |
| The problem with female comedians is that they ultimately fail to realize the spark of comedy. It's funny precisely because there'a a grain of truth buried beneath all of the tongue & cheek. That's why movies such as "Rough Night" fall flat in the face of "The Hangover." It's simply forced and there's no real authenticity to be found. All is not lost though. There's plenty of riot worthy women out there. From my experience, the funniest ones just naturally play into their own quirks. On a side note, I actually tend to find anime girls funnier than anime guys on average. So apparently Japan is at least doing something right. |

 oh my must be around that time on MAL again. |

| women really aren't good comedians to be honest, the funniest woman i know is my mom lol modern women who actually try to act funny all like to post some romantic tumblr comic shit (or it's just sjw propaganda) that's supposed to be "quirky" and "relatable" and "awkward" but in actuality no one could relate and every single mentally sane person reading the comic wants to take a fucking 8 gauge to the mouth here's what i'm talking about, i have a gold mine of this shit on my phone just to make myself seem less pathetic |

| no, women are funny. i used to love sarah silverman when i was a kid, but she suddenly decided she wanted to be jewish and an sjw more than a comedian. |
 Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places But we're trash, you and me We're the litter on the breeze We're the lovers on the streets Just trash, me and you It's in everything we do It's in everything we do |
| Of course funny women exist. My existence is proof of it |
