Sadly, women, for the most part, still aren't funny.
Here is a themed thread I've often thought about creating, but with Oni's remark above, I'd like to expand it to two items:
1. I think I agree. (Why don't more (any?) women do Curly Howard impressions? Seriously?)
My friends and I OFTEN talk about women and humor (lack of). I never dated a VERY funny girl, but I think I would like to.
Has there ever been any scientiifc research about women being relatively less humorous than men?
My friends usually and ultimately semi-agree these women are funny: Carol Burnett, Phylis Diller, Gilda Radner, (maybe Lucille Ball?)
Forum participants, please name up to THREE of your favorite woman comedians.
2. I've often been told that the type of humor one likes GREATLY reveals the soul to one's personality. I think it would be interesting to line up our tastes in humor to our online personas. Please name up to FIVE of your favorite FUNNY movies. This is very difficult for me, I will be leaving off many I love, but maybe, in no particular order: Woody Allen's "Love and Death", Monty Pythons "Life of Brian" and "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World", Mel Brookes original "the Producers", Neal Simon's "Murder by Death"
Admn, obviously place this in coffeehouse forum.
