In general, why are men funnier than women?

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

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

    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! :D

    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.
