Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm female, and I almost never find female sitcom stars or other actresses to be genuinely funny.

As I recall, Ellen DeGeneres's stand-up comedy is pretty funny, but it's been a while since I've watched.

But then, I generally have little interest in female celebrities, anyway.

IMO being laugh-out-loud funny is a very different thing than being witty or having good comedic timing or just saying clever lines.

I know it's not what fandom likes to hear, but I actively prefer shows/movies with a mostly-male cast and in general I would strongly **agree** with the notion that women aren't funny, including professional entertainers and comedic actresses.

The only woman that I have ever seen being truly funny is Julia Louis Dreyfuss as Elaine.

Comedic actresses or sitcom stars can be witty or amusing, but that's a whole different flavor than being truly, hysterically funny.

I know I'll probably catch plenty of flack for it, but my honest response to the statement "women aren't funny" is to strongly agree.

I don't know if you read the article that was linked in the original comment. If you haven't, I think you should. (Here's the link again: http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-ways-were-programmed-to-think-women-arent-funny/) Then read your comment again, it makes (more) sense.
