there are female shock comedians that make tampon jokes but I think you are right about A

That was sorta the point. I find poop jokes to be the hight of hilarity. I guess women do not.

I have, and I was just using that as an example. Most comedians use topical humor that generally appeal to a specific audience. Male comedians make jokes that make men laugh, and women make jokes that make women laugh.

I think women can be hilarious.

Just look at Allie Brosh, the blogger behind Hyperbole and a Half.

She's ****ing awesome.

I don't think it can be said that "female comedians aren't funny", when the humour appeals to entirely different demographics. You wouldn't ever say "black comedians aren't funny".

And honestly, since when is humour defined by what men think is funny?

That's probably because I can name a whole bunch of hilarious comedians who are black.

It's not to everyone's taste. I don't know of any black comedians I find funny. Doesn't mean black people have no sense of humour.

I looked up that Allie girl. She is so hot! I'm a sucker for blond hair and blue eyes... Wait what was the point of this thread? Oh yeah, I didn't find her funny.

I dunno, I mean I find some women in tv shows funny (Elaine in Seinfeld, Dee in IASIP), but it's not like they write their own stuff so it doesn't really count.

Let me put it this way, there are a lot more black male comedians who make boatloads of people outside their demographic laugh than female comedians of any race who do the same. Keep in mind that I'm strictly talking about comedians here. As I said earlier in this thread, I've known plenty of funny women in my personal life.
