Re: Just asking . . .
While joke #1 and #3 are humorous, I find joke #2 about gorillas to be vulgar and debasing to the entire primate community.
Why, with "jokes" like that, gorillas just might become an endangered species.

gender, humor, and gay slurs?

The homo drone

Gee whiz Mod, what the hell?
While I admit, in the past, I MAY have whistled a show-tune or two. Or tried on women's underwear . . . for comfort issues ONLY. But does that really justify your name-calling?

Another female in the thread, WHOOPEEE . . .
Hi purpledawn,
I think this is the first time I addressed you on the forum. Howdy m'am!
Ruth Buzzi! Wow, that's one female's name that has slipped through history's cracks. My brother and I usually use her and fellow laugh-in comedien Joann Worley as a nod to B-rated actresses. (If we need examples of B-rated actors we usually use Bill Bixby, Burt Convey or whoever else appeared on television's LoveBoat series.) But Ruth was pretty big in the 60s and 70s. Perhaps she was a precurser to Gilda Radner, so I think your choice is actually a pretty good one.
However Minnie Pearl??? Yikes!
Yep, I like Red Skelton. But Danny Kaye??? Yikes again.
Thanks for the picks, this first part "proves" you have a funny bone or two and are now "authorized" to answer the second part: On average, generally do you believe women to be less funny than men? (Do you concur with any of the research findings in Message 193 in this thread?)

Too many racist jokes
I believe that Blazing Saddles would not even be allowed to be released if it were a brand new film made in the modern era. Too many racist jokes.
Have you ever watched the cartoon television show "Family Guy"? I am amazed what they get away with, especially during pre-prime-time (dinner-time/afterschool). The open-ness and difference in today's childhood is quite radically different than from my time. I wonder how it will play out in society in the end. I am amazed that there appears to be no concern about personal privacy, in either government or commercial roles. For example, it shocks me that so many people willingly give away personal photos and info on sites such as Facebook. Maybe there will be some good things that will come about this new "open-ness" society, I don't know.
I think the humor-studies, as I briefly touched on here, Message 193, describing the gender difference in humor is plausible.
