no

i really like abfab but that's it even for me

amusing, yes. funny, no.

i'm not sexist, it's just female comedians are shit desu. they need to step up their game.

I started rewatching abfab recently, it's fucking crazy how good it is

I don't know if they can, but obviously they won't.

They don't have to, so they can't. Ugly men have been perfecting the art of comedy for time immemorial so that they could get laid and pass their genes on. Women already have that for granted, so there was no need for individual betterment.

nah, comedy requires empathy which women lack

also conservatives, which is why there are no funny conservatives or women

i don't like standup so i'm biased but i've never heard a woman say something that made me laugh.

>no funny conservatives

Hey there, kiddo.

Yeah, your pic is related

...

man the wee really went downhill

Julia Louis Dreyfus, Tina Fey and Kaitlyn Olsen are all hilarious.
Although only one of them performs from material she writes.

Tina?

No

This. Stand up is pretty boring for the most part, especially the American brand which has become heavily entangled with its counties politics. Never was interested in that sort of thing. As for female actors being funny, well if your a good actor and you have a funny script, you should be able to 'be funny'. Can women write good comedy? The mere mention of ABFAB, is proof alone.

Also Kath and Kim, an Australian comedy which is writen and starred in by two long proven female sketch actors is another good example.

Yes.
Did you really need a confirming post? Why even ask that, dude?

all the best 30 rock episodes are written by someone else though

lol

she's fucking hilarious but i did turn on a random episode of her show awhile ago and it was legit 100% pussy jokes

Yes, but there are fewer funny women than men, and even low tier male comedians are funnier than the greatest females.
She had one good joke

>triggered

unintentionally funny

This doesn't apply if the women in question don't know they're hot, like Fey didn't. Of course eventually she figured it out and started to make the most of her looks, so that lucky midget got the best of both worlds.

>she's fucking hilarious
what? no she fucking isn't?

they can write funny but most female stand ups are not funny this is because women dont have to be funny

Yes, but those kinda shows are rare and most definitely never american.

Women can of course be funny it's just hard for men to emphasise or gain a solid perspective when a woman is trying to be funny. I can't think of a single good woman stand up but I've definitely laughed at women irl and in movies a few times. I just can't into watching women just talk on a stage.

The only women I find genuinely funny is rebel willson

Yes but not as funny as men. I usually only laugh at them if I think they are atractive

Legit the funniest woman I've ever seen is the porn star Missy Martinez. She used to do a lot of stand up in LA and she was great. The only time I've seen a woman do stand up and I've actually laughed.

According to Christopher Hitchens who before he died was the most recent person to do a real study and analysis on the subject, the answer is unequivocally no. In fact most men inherently find woman who promote themselves as being funny as being unattractive, out of no fault to ourselves we are geared this way for productive purposes. Men starrted being funny first as another avenue to court woman.

She's legitimately funny.

A funny woman is the same as a wormhole, both are not forbidden by the laws of the universe, but neither was ever observed, nor is it known how one would come into existance.

The same director did lano and Woodley as well it's good.

Yeah it's the only female comedy I found remotely funny

I don't know but hopefully they'll look really sexy

They can. When they are mean to other girls and guys you don't like. Like Don rickles funny.

Dykes can be pretty funny.
Straight women just talk about their vag and it isn't cute

Some women are funny, but women in general tend not to be funny, particularly the "Women are funny, get over it" """comedians""" like McCarthy, Dunham and Leather Swine
They tend to just regurgitate already run-into-the-ground jokes from other comedians on top of "Oh yeah AND I'M A WOMAN!" which isn't a joke or funny at all and only serves to make the audience go "Oh I'm being lectured to, not entertained"
Likewise there are a few women who can do action in movies, who understand kinetics and energy, like Riefenstahl and Bigelow, but for the vast majority women can't do action direction.

It's like when a white guy does a plain dunk on somebody in basketball
>gimme extra points cuz I'm white

stand up humor depends entirely on cultural expectations based on how they look. If someone is jacked as shit, it'll affect how funny you think they are. it's why a lot of comedians will dress down and actually think of how they look (even if it's dressed to look like they don't care)

male/female relations have only recently changed, so getting to the point where more people will not have the fact that they're a woman affect their perception of whether they're funny or not will take a few generations.

that said, there's a good amount of hack comedians that happen to be women, so it's also going to take some time until we get past the point of propping of some who are undeserving, like Amy Schumer.

absolutely but not by referring to their gender all the time or by always going for shock comedy

just fucking tell jokes

People in general tend not to be funny, but think they are. Truly funny people, to the point of stand-up level funny, are rare.

they can be, usually not though. they're better at sitcom than standup. jenna maroney was my favourite character on 30 rock

Lumley is a national treasure

Stand ups aren't the funniest ppl though.
I've had ppl in real life crack me up more than any famous person has.

For me just looking at Jack Black or Bill Murray doing nothing is funnier than most stand ups.

The Man Show from back in the day was entirely about "look at how manly we are, beer, tits". Yeah, it's hack comedy, but there's an audience for that type of shallow gender comedy.

Andrew Dice Clay, while I think wasn't funny at all, got by on that over-the-top machoism shit. I'll never really understand that one.

people here talk about Hicks, Pryor and Carlin being really overrated but for me Dice takes the cake. I mean I've never even been mildly amused by anything he's ever said. He's a 5 minute sketch character with a 30+ year career, it's astounding

i think the real question to ask here is: can white people be funny? i dunno.....they have
the market cornered on racism and genocide and anything evil, really. Having a sense of humor really is not their strong suit.

I can't believe she's in her late fucking 40's.

Krakowski was absolutely perfect for the role desu.

His career hasn't been strong for 30 years.
He had like 2 gigantic record breaking years in the early 90s then quickly crashed and had no career until mid 2000s.

hickory dickory dock, it because you love cock, OOOOH!

Never seen one

What the fuck is wrong with black women? I've seen at least 3 poor souls on Sup Forums be crushed by their flying fatness. Should we write a statute to protect people from fat black women who just decide to kill a man by "dancing" with him?

feel like pure shit just want the hitch back x
youtu.be/I7izJggqCoA

Who is that chubby boy with long hair and why are they trying to make him sexy?

or you could grow some balls and learn to dance, white boi!

>shallow gender comedy.

It was so deep we are still debating the after effects.

>And now, girls on trampolins

At least the ones in this show are.

Denying this is funny is for fags to insecure to watch it.

You mean learn to be crushed? And by grow some balls you mean wear a titanium shield on them so you can be crushed by said flying fatness?

It's okay. S2 and 3 were barely watchable.

Why watch shit that's filled with gayness? A main character is a flaming gay black "victim" who is a grown man and can't make it on his own, and you watch it becase... ... you're a good goy.

>cultural expectations
If by that you mean biological instinct, yeah. There's nothing culture about it, getting people to laugh is a monkey pack hierarchy sorting behaviour.

For a secularist you sure seem attached to the philosophical concept of souls.
