Dream Dinner

yes

If it were just for comedic value I would want Patton Oswalt, Dave Attell, and Lousie C.K. at the table.

what about sarah silverman and her other coupleof personalities?

No. I don't find women very funny. Sarah, in particular, seems like she tries too hard. There are women comedians who have a casual and relaxed way about themselves and it goes a long way as far as how often they can make you smile.

I've felt this way for a long time, but I also read recently that it's a theory that women are not funny based on the purpose of humor. It's to sedate and win over favor. Women can attract a mate based on appearance, smell, and sound. Men, being the sex that has to innitiate and seek after a mate, have a certain potential in attraction based on their genes. One example of this was that men with deep voices have lower sperm counts on average. A deep voice is attractive to women and represents masculinity on it's own. In the battle to pass on genes, another body will not put as much effort into the vocal chords and instead focus on other features that would ensure survival, like sperm count.

This theory brought about that women are not funny simply because they don't have to be to secure copulation nor to gain favor in social circles.

One thing I never looked into was how many succesful comedians are attractive, masculine, well built, tall, etc. Just off the top of my head though, many of the comedians I enjoy are trolls :)

watch your back for the rosie o'donell lzzi comedian mafia then

Eddie Izzard is a man, which made him funny :)

I loved his, "Dressed to Kill", show as a kid. I used to buy all his DVD's and they got less funny over-time to me. Dress to Kill still has humor for me though.

I tried to drunkenly type "Lezzie" but yeah I love Izzard... arguably his best moment was mocking the main man in Velvet Goldmine. Great soundtrack too.

Can I just opt for three dinner dates with Kristen Schaal please?

No. I don't find women very funny.

@boom762 - Your theory's strength is in it's inherent irony.

One has to wonder which end of the telescope you're looking through?

In the UK we have a long tradition of popular comediennes. From Gracie Fields and Joyce Grenfell to contemporaries such as Jennifer Saunders Dawn french, Victoria Wood, Morwenna Banks Sue Perkins, Joanna Lumley, Jo Brand, Diane Morgan there's too many to list. Even foreign women here become somehow empowered with humour.

In the states, most female comedians mainly only pull other women and the LGBT community. The biggest female comedians here are probably Ellen DeGeneres, Rosanne Bar, Whoopi Goldberg, Maria Bamford, Sarah Silverman, Joan Rivers, and Amy Schumer. These names are very spread out on the timeline though and for big female comic there are more male comics that draw larger crowds, get more specials, and have a more diverse audiance.

Thinking back on when you were in school, I'm sure you remember some class clowns. It could be different in Europe but those are mostly boys here.

Look at how big of a deal it is that Dave Chappelle returned. How quickly the Robin Williams on Broadway specials sold out. Kevin Hart might be doing the biggest specials currently.

The theory goes well with the US female comics as well. There arent many attractive female comics here. They are all overweight, frumpy, have low self-esteem/depression, or are gay, which eads more towards masculine emulation and self identitiy.

okay... my wife was funny as hell and I desperately miss her sardonic outloook

what do you have against the LGBT community? we're al people and you are not required t get every jokebefore its declared funny, sir. I laugh because if I don't? well, fuck off.

what do you have against the LGBT community?

I didn't say I did. I said women mostly only pull LGBT and other women as their audience, which is very limiting. Male comics pulls in both those crowds and more.

I don't understand this.

1) umm?

2) good

Hmmm. I don't know what your wikipedia search revealed, but this is not what they mean when they say "going under the knife.....".
