that's possible too, but it doesn't account for the discrepancy in our opinions here.

we need some MB girls to speak up on this one!

and yes, long live George Carlin.

Are we the only 2 then? This entire thread has turned into 'All Female Comedians Are Sh*t, Am I Right?', but you dont have to be a comedian to be funny. I know plenty of girls with senses of humour, and while everybody has different kinds, theyre still funny. How can you just generalize like this?

Well, a girl made it, and I'm assuming she made it with the intent of figuring out people's opinions on which gender they find more appealing to their comedic sense. Seems like a pretty legit query to me.

Dunno if you meant that, or the opinions in the thread.

I'm reading it right now and that ^ sums it up actually. I can definitely understand where you're coming from though. Ah well..it's the internet.

On topic, No I don't think women can be funny. When they try it's always talking about men and how bad they are. I think women comics can only really relate to other women. Where as good male comics can appeal to both genders. The only female comics I've ever thought to be remotely funny have been pretty butch anyway.

These two, seriously. WTF? With an attitude like that, the only real girl theyre going to be getting is a hooker theyre paying for.

Nope, the opinions.

Should I delete their opinions, or can we work something else out?

Well, I should probably delete 90'sMusicKid's comment either way.
