Men are funnier than women

You don't need the beeb to clarify what everyone has always known. Just the way is.

As for the lefty part, that is a bbc survey!

*Just the way it is.

Considering that only left wing comedians can get on TV these days, 98% must be rather disappointing.

Are men that identify as women less or more funny than normal men ?

They make me laugh.

Men need a sense of humour to cope with women imo

I have seen some funny women comediennes over the years to be fair

Men have a natural gift for it

Women think their funny but ain't

Richmal Crompton and Sue Townsend are two laugh-out-loud funny authors off the top of my head.

Did not know Richmal Crompton was a woman. Learn, new, everday etc.

You are not alone.

Most readers thought Richmal Crompton Lamburn was a man. So shy was she that she did not disabuse them of the notion, even as her anarchic, disruptive schoolboy, shown with his cap askew and tie undone, graced nearly 40 volumes of exploits.

...

With a certain amount of boring inevitability, Crompton's books were later attacked by critics for being irrelevant and middle-class, as if being able to write well was itself a liability. One reader points out that nowadays the books aren't a very easy read for preteens because they are peppered with words such as "epicurean", "apoplectic" and "discoursing", to which I say, "Look it up."

As it happens, I'm not sure that Miss Crompton's books really were intended for pre-teens. It's only when you re-read the books as an adult that you start to appreciate the shallowness and pomposity of the adults who bear down upon William.

Watching old episodes of QI before the PC brigade ruined it , there are some (not all) hilarious episodes.

The William books were my favourite by far at junior school, I didn't know Richmal was a lady either.

Not sure theres a decent female comedian about. despite being a fair few on the circuit

Virtually all fall in the Michael Mcintyre category i.e (not funny)

best i can think of Zoe Lyons off Mock The week

I’ve read all the Just William books many times. They are superb stories.

One moderately amusing thing about them: William often uses the offensive C word instead of “couldn’t” which is unintentionally hilarious at times.

All bets are off if Cider turns out to be a woman

Men are more competitive than women. Put a group of them together and they'll battle to be the alpha-male.  If you have a group of comedians they'll try to outdo eachother with funnier jokes.  It's all subconscious; they're not actively thinking "I must be top dog".

i think women find other women funny but men find it very difficult to laugh at women
on the other hand women are much more open to laughing at men and all men love a laugh so they'll also laugh at men
and thus, men are funnier than women
anecdotal to some degree  ^

it's possibly to do with comedy being of quite a lot of social value for men
so all men have to try and be funny to some degree to fit in and to gain social leverage

nearly everything that humans do is about being social

Could be something in that BM. As far as ordinary folk go not pro comedians I'd say men are mostly funnier. It comes from banter,putting sh*t on each other for a laugh, it's everywhere in the male world. Women don't do that to same level.

the only woman i found very funny was joan rivers she was very good the rest are embarrassing bad

All generalisations are suspect.

alpha male ?  what's all that about  ?    ... maybe we have  turned into lions ?

women stand ups are bloody awful ..probably a tick box  excercise

All generalisations are suspect.

Got a lol from me. Clearly you're not female.

you are all sexist  - got yer!!

Still waiting for you to find that homophobic post of mine, mo. I realise you didn't have the balls to take up my challenge. Maybe you're post-op?

i'm still waiting for you to prove i'm a grass, coward?

How could I possibly prove it. I don't have a hotline to the mods. Maybe you could ask them to confirm you're not, next time you speak with them.

cowards answer; perhaps if you haven't got any proof - which you haven't;  it would be best in future to keep your trap shut?

Coward's answer? It's a fact, you simple ****.

if it's a fact  PROVE IT you feckin numpty!

It's a fact I don't have a hotline to the mods. Prove you're not...

you made the accusation, coward; not up to me to prove anything; or are you too thick to realise that

I still think you are. It's impossible for me to prove this.

If I'd said I thought you were God, would you expect me to prove that too?

and any woman is funnier than you, coward. You're as about as funny as a jewish landlord

god -grass? Well one would be a compliment & well the other isn't, it it?

Btw, how does me calling you a grass make me a coward? Not calling you one, when I think you are, would be more cowardly, surely?

Ok God.

you're a coward because you're making the sleight on my charecter with no proof

I have no proof that God (you?) doesn't exist. Should I therefore not be allowed to say I don't think God exists?

god - grass; seeing as you ignored that comment of mine; or don't you understand the difference, coward?

and any woman is funnier than you, coward. You're as about as funny as a jewish landlord

Missed this initially. Tut, tut. If a leftie, such as I, had made that remark, you'd be straight on your hotline.

Forgive me, what did I ignore?

I'm hoping to get a new dress and heels on the back of everton v spurs

Why would calling you something I don't believe exists be a compliment. If I called you sasquatch, would that be a compliment?

comedy passes you by i see, even though you started this numpty topic

& just to clarify; if i reported/GRASSED every dodgy lefty comment on here, there would be none left. Including you

Saying I'm about as funny as a Jewish landlord is 'comedy'?

If you think it's a numpty topic, wtf would you even open the thread? Wouln't that make you a numpty too? As well as a grass...

It's 'slight' btw. Wouldn't have bothered pulling you up on it but you've repeated the error.

grass/paedo two of the worst things you call anyone on here; & YOU called me one of them. All your snivelling diatribe trying to escape that fact is falling on deaf ears, coward

Falling on deaf ears yet you continue to respond?

And now you compare grassing with paedophilia. Strange standards you have there.

how could i read the numptiness if i didn't open the topic, numpty?

not a comparison; unless you're making it one?

Why would you want to read the numptiness? The thread title was a clue to what was contained therein.

You made the comparison. Can you not even decipher your own posts?

see above; try reading it

I did read it. You said "grass/paedo are two of the worst things" you could be called on here. Weirdly, you even put gras first, almost as if you think that is worse.

alphabetical, numpty, you shouldn't keep making assumptions

You also said I was trying to 'escape' the fact I'd called you a grass. Where have I denied it? I even said I think you are, even if I can't prove it.

Actually starting to think you are a sasquatch!

You should quit posting on this numpty thread.

would that be a female attempt at a joke?
so you think it is fine to call me a grass with no proof whatsoever? Just to clarify

i will post where i want

Yes.

You can post wherever you like. You can call me a coward and a numpty all you like. I won't run and tell teacher. Unlike some.

nice one

No worries, 'squatch.

you're still here numpty; not doing a very good job as a grass, am i?

see ya soon, coward

I've posted nothing you could grass me up for, other than the odd profanity.

Laters, 'squatch.

peeps have been banned on here for far less, coward. Nice topic btw

Your more of an expert on what is required to be banned than I.

Topic was on BBC website, as linked. Don't like it, don't read it.

You're, ffs.

well more of an expert than you; as you just make assumptions with no proof. & as that says a lot more about you than me, coward, i bid you farewell -
for now

You bade me farewell at 17:32 but continued to post.

See you around, Grasquatch.

my wifes a funny koooont

Men are most definitely funnier than women!

I don't think that, other than female comedians, I have ever laughed at a woman.  Nearly every one of my past boyfriends has made me laugh and most of the time I stayed with them because of this. Nothing beats having a comedian in the house

Chit chatters, learn how to make women laugh
