Are women inherently unfunny?

I would say yes.

A lot of women, not all, but a lot grow up in an environment where every thing they say or do is praised. There is no negative feedback for them to learn what is and what isn't funny. On the other hand - men who are funny have gone through a process of learning what is and what isn't funny and have come out of this socially awkward stage as funny people. Some men are gifted with the ability to know what is funny without first receiving negative responses due to innate wit or intelligence.

Again, this isn't a blanket statement on the entirety of women, but I believe there are biological and sociological nuances as to why female comedians aren't as objectively funny or as successful as male comedians.

Maybe.

Can you think of any fantastically good female comics? Because I certainly can't.

Sure, there are a few passable ones, but they pale in comparison to the likes of Richard Pryor, Billy Connolly, Frankie Boyle and a lot of other legendary male stand ups.

Unfunny? No. I think men are more predisposed towards humor though. In the same way they're more predisposed towards tech or science. There's definitely way more hilarious male comedians than female. Which probably stems from the different social dynamics we've occupied throughout the years.

This is a really old vid tho.

I think it's already been said best that society simply considers humor to be a masculine trait, thus women can't be funny without "acting like a man." It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yes. Really none of them are funby

Naturally there's a Cracked article on that.

So Cracked articles can't discuss serious subject matter alongside adding entertainment value?

It's a satirical magazine. I'd probably take what they have to say with a pinch of salt.

Verbatim · February 02, 2015, 03:37:51 PM

and it's always so amateurishly written
