In general, why are men funnier than women?

WispaMint

I believe this, but can't really explain why.

Don't mean this to be offensive, so calm down!

Poor Craythur

Can. Worms. etc.

No, seriously, in general I do find men funnier but I've observed down the years that it tends to be a big swinging mickey competition of sorts. Women aren't as competitive about being funny.

EDIT: And believe me, I am NOT complaining about the big swinging mickey competitions of comedy, they're great fun!

because housework jokes aren't funny.

Name a funny female comedian: Josie Long, Sarah Millican, Bridget Christie
Name a funny female actress. Dunno about this, I mean, it's the script that's funny, not the actor/actress
Name a funny female boardsie. Lots and lots!!!!

Haha, I know. Some are going to take this badly. But I honestly don't mean it offensively.

As a woman, I feel that I should be offended, but unfortunately all female comedians are painfully unfunny, so all I can say is "I don't know, do you?".

Is it cos fart jokes appeal to all, but period jokes appeal to no-one?

Don't be offended. I'm sure women can be funny. I'm sure there are women who are funny.

But I don't know of them.

It's more common for a man to be funny, I would say.

none of this matters a sh*t, women are the fairer sex and for that we're all secondary

Ok, more specifically, I've known funny women. I've been known to crack off a few dry, witty comments myself which have been dragged up in later conversations as "hilarious"... But any female standup I have seen has not been funny

Personally, I find Joan Rivers very funny.

However, I accept that men don't 'get' women's humour, as it's more gender specific, whereas men's humour encompasses a much wider range of topics.

Men can also generally deliver a punchline much better than a woman.

I think some women can be funny, but for some reason all women comedians are not just unfunny, but also annoying.

She had some tv programme I looked at a while back. Utter turd, she was so annoying I turned it off.

her and jo brand are the only female comedians i find funny...the others just seem to try too hard and don't come off as well. i think there is more funny male than female comedians.

men tend to be more filthy than women with jokes. women comedians seem to be too reserved for my liking

I think it's because they try too hard. Mostly. Or else they're just not funny.

I is a woman and I think all women comedians are ****e. I wish it wasn't that way but unfortunately it is.

As much of an equal opportunist as I am, this fact is in general, undeniable.

But, season one of Big Train. Julia Daves, Amelia Bulmore.

Lynn from Alan Partridge. Sweet Dee from always sunny in Philadelphia. Lindsay Bluth Fünke (Portia de Rossi) from Arrested development...

ect...

I've seen one blonde female comic on mock the week that was good. Dunno her name though.

Then again there was an asian woman and another black woman comedian on the bbc a few times lately, both I felt were terrible.

Yes, some side characters, generally ones who deliver dead-pan lines, can be absolutely brilliant. I don't think female comedians (ie stand up or trying to carry a show alone) are funny at all

watna

I should clarify, I think a lot of women are very funny it's just that stand-up is not the place where most women's brand of funniness shines

Dawn French can be really good, she was great in Vicar of Dibley although that was not stand up.

Ive never seen her stand up.

Poor Craythur

I think Josie Long is very good.
