Quoted:
No female stand-up comics are as funny as male stand-ups.

Women can be funny comedians as part of a larger act (e.g. Dreyfus in Seinfeld), but they cannot be as funny in a solo act.

They can also be funny in a hyperbolic role, but not as themselves.  The Mawry 13 and pregnant video, for example, is funny because it is absurd.  But a real woman saying those things would be tragic and unfunny.


It's biologically impossible for women, as themselves, to be maximally funny in a stand-up act, because easily half of all potential material (human relationships) is unavailable to them.  Women can't tell relationship jokes, because all women fall into one of two categories.  Women you want to bang.  And women you don't.  If you don't want to bang them, then every joke about relationships just makes you cringe, and the more extreme/crass the joke gets, the worse the effect.  Amy Schumer is a disgusting pig, because she tells raunchy dick(vag) jokes and I really don't want to think about her in that way.  If you do want to bang them, then the opposite occurs.  You don't want to hear her talk about banging guys that aren't you, and the more vulgar she gets, the worse the effect.

Women are inseperable from their sexuality, whereas men are easily separated from it.

Men are biologically disposable, which means that our sexuality makes a good punchline.  Women are not as disposable (not potentially fertile ones, at least), and so it's impossible to make self-deprecating fun of it.


Think of all the good vagina jokes you've ever heard.  I'll bet you that they all have three things in common.  One, they're told (or punchlined) by men.  Two, they play on the inherent humor of male sexuality (or hypersexuality) or male ignorance, or a combination of those things.  Three, they do not diminish your affection for the character object of the joke, and may possibly even improve it.

sexual/romantic relationship jokes are driven into the ground anyway, if that's 50% of a comic's material then they probably suck

but then again I hate most stand up so...

I tried watching Parks and Rec when it came out and couldn't stand it. However, my wife and I just finished streaming it on Netflix and it is FAR better when you don't have a week between episodes. Now that I Netflixed it it's actually pretty good.

Funny in an ensemble.  30 Rock was awesome.

Heck, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is hilarious, and Ellie Kemper is awesome, but I laughed at Titus Andromedon more than any other character on that show.

If you give up on a show after the pilot, you're missing out on a lot of gems.




The show REALLY comes into its own after the first season.

If your definition of funny is a self-loathing middle aged creeper that dwells on pedo and masturbation jokes, yeah, I guess I don't. He has moments, but he's a creeper.

View Quote


Very likely.  I wasn't suggesting any act should be 50% sex/relationship jokes.  I'm just noting that those jokes are likely a full 50% of comedy as a whole.

A few comics focus on it nearly exclusively.  Dane Cook is a notable example.  Which also might prove your "unfunny" claim depending on what you think of him.  

But with a few notable exceptions, every comic makes at least some dick jokes.  Foxworthy, Steve Martin... even relatively "clean" comics like Seinfeld and Gaffigan are telling relationship jokes, because they're funny and almost everyone can relate to them.


The point is that it's much harder for female comics to tell relationship jokes, and this puts them at a big disadvantage.


Consider the stereotypical black comedian.  They never let you forget that they're black.  Some of the great ones do (Cosby, Winslow) but for the most part, all the Chris Rock wanna-bes hinge their jokes on, "it's funny because I'm black, and I'm allowed to say that."

Female comics always come off, to a degree, like a white guy telling race jokes.  It can be done, but it's usually not done very well, and the repertoire is necessarily limited.

Fey was around and popular long before that Alaskan trailer trash came into the spotlight, and while she's moved onto other things besides the sitcom, she is still considered successful and viable, unlike said Alaskan trailer trash who is now a footnote and living joke.

Tiny Fay is totally overrated.   That being said, she can make me laugh on occasion, and is somewhat attractive.

There's no female comedian I can sit through, and no comedic female comedic role in any movie that couldn't have been just as good by (choose your interchangeable female actress)

Nothing posted with funny material.

If you asked about Eddie Murphy being funny, you;'d get RAW clips posted.

Ask about Daniel Tosh being funny, and you'd have 400 clips of Tosh.0 already.

The same thing with my GF.  She makes cracks and comments that get a chuckle, but not that deep side-splitting laughter like the first time you watch Dave Chappelle or Steve Martin.





Maybe one will prove me wrong some day.
