Ok, I'll just come right out & say it - women aren't funny. Intentionally funny, I mean. Stand up comedians on late night shows, female stars on sit-coms, whatever. Do they have any other routine besides "Don't you just hate men? Blah, blah, blah..."?

No. Women can be funny, but I've never liked a female stand up comedian.

Sure, I've seen some funny ones on Comedy Central. I've heard that for some reason men are way less likely to think women are funny than for women to think men are funny.

I agree to the fullest and it has nothign to do with being sexist. from my experience with women in life, they generally arent very clever/witty.

Wow - I was wondering how long it would take to get the 'sexist' tag. Faster than I thought.....

I find female comedians just as funny as their male counterparts. I don't look at them by sex though... if they make me laugh then I laugh. If they don't I don't. Simple as that.

I can admit that I have met several women with good humor but no, I've never actually seen a stand up female comedian that I found funny.

Standup is scripted too, sometimes by professional writers...

Tina Fey,Amy Poehler,Rashida Jones,Jenna Fischer,Callie Thorne,Kaitlin Olson...doesnt matter if they are scripted, he said he doesnt find them funny, well if that is the case then he should blame the script/writers not the women on the show.

I'm afraid I got to disagree, but I know where your coming from. I've laughed at a few female comedians on stand up TV but also i've worked with many girls who cracked me up. I remember a girl I sat next to named Katie who put me in gigglefits constantly, she had this great dilinquent style of humor.

Often girls aren't funny because they too busy being sexy (or at least trying). In this day and age, they are led to so many insecurities from social taboos, advertising and the media that they are afraid to laugh in case it causes crows feet before they're 30. There are those few girls out there however which don't care so much, those tend to be the funny ones.

Also fat mothers tend to be funny, especially the ones who joke about themselves.

It seems what i'm saying is pretty girls are not funny. You know what. I think that's true! I'll stand by that.

Only some, I have to admit I find it hard to find alot female stand-up comdians funny for some reason.

But when it comes to situational comedy they can be as funny or funnier than alot of men.

Well I don't know of any female comedians but from experience for every time I laugh at a females joke, I've probably laughed at 100 other males jokes/humor/whatever makes you laugh. Maybe they just don't want to make a scene of themselves, who knows...

Some can be funny, naturally. But those who tries to make up and acting funny may not be funny at all.

I've found some female comedians funny, and I know some girls in real life that are really funny. Though I will agree that men are generally more funny.

Rita Rudner is pretty funny, but Kathy Griffin is beyond annoying. The queens of comedy are freaking hilarious. I never really thought of it but there really aren't many women in stand up.

No. They lack the mental capacity a comedian should have to stay out of certain fields and subjects so they don't restrict their audience. Not meaning to perpetuate stereotypes entirely, but it's very similar with ethnic comedians too.

Sarah Silverman is brilliant. Maybe one of the two or three best comedians alive.

If they make me laugh then yeah, same with male comedians. If you don't its likely you're a teenage pustule that can't look at a woman without judging her upon her appearance, in which case grow the **** up you sad mite. I know grown men do this too, but they are only as old as their shoe size I am certain.

I can't stand female comedians. They're all really obnoxious. Women certainly can be funny. I have a lot of female friends and I've been told that I'm funny at times, but I just don't find females' intentional performance humor to be funny...ever.

wow, sexism and stereotyping all in one...awesome.

There are plenty of funny female comedians out there, as several people have already mentioned some of their names. Also did you ever stop to consider the ratio of male to female comedians? I bet if you worked it out you would find that there are proportionally just as many good female comedians as there are good male comedians. Not to mention that sometimes guys and girls have a different sense of humor and since you are a guy maybe that's why you find males to be more humorous
