Telling us what we all already know, that comedy is stored in the balls.

Also get a load of this.

"I really think it's unnecessary to do this study. They could've done something progressive."

"Science should only be done for my political views." Real hot take there Marina Bye.



Here is their """Comedy""" by the way.

So what do you think? Are men funnier than women?

Well, if this is what men need to tell themselves to explain why women laugh when they see that particular region, I suppose I won't argue with them.

With the obligatory joke out of the way...I'd be curious, and might eventually track down to investigate, how the judging of humor in the studies broke-down by the gender of the judge--they note that judging how funny a caption was without knowing whether it was male or female was how many of the studies analyzed did things, and finding out whether female judges rated female jokes higher on-average than male judges did males would seem to establish a fundamental difference in humor itself between sexes that might be playing into things here?
For that matter, could be other factors at play as well? How would one control or test for, for instance, a potential social predilection in men to share or verbalize their particular jokes with people while there might be a contrasting one telling women to keep it to themselves?

Some ponderings, at least.
I think the most obvious explanation is that men developed senses of humor to try and distract themselves from the depression of having to face an existence where they don't have boobs...Which might, now that I think of it, explain why father's and married men who have some expectation of boobie-access have such malformed and deficient senses of humor.

That's women telling women to keep it to themselves. Women think of something funny, think about how it might affect people emotionally, and either dont say it or reword or restructure it or don't say it at all. Men just say it, because it's funny. Then you blame society for the humor-gap and how we need affirmative action in laughter.

and finding out whether female judges rated female jokes higher on-average than male judges did males would seem to establish a fundamental difference in humor itself between sexes that might be playing into things here?

That wouldn't matter because overall men were funnier.

@FriedCFour I think women are naturally more polite and there’s nothing wrong with that. But I also think “humour” in strictly male terms is matched by vivaciousness among women so it’s comparing apples to oranges.

Regardless of the gender, it is the content, the joke, the writings, and the execution. These criterias. There are men and women who have these skills and lack of these skills. But I can see that female comedians in the west are social justice warriors. And social justice warriors are not funny.

That's also a good point; which probably means the results of the study are unnaturally skewed.

Its not a study based on comedians. Its a study based on normal individuals.

I'd still like to see a study that takes SJWism into account; because the results could also be because more women than men are SJWs, and they tend to not have a good sense of humor.

That would be a study based on humor as it relates to someone's political beliefs. I also don't think that's necessarily it. Men just are funnier than women.

I don't buy it. There's just too much to suggest the results of the study don't the whole story.

Why not? Why isn't it possible men are just funnier inherently?

 

[LordsFire]

I'm kind of surprised nobody has addressed one of the most likely causes for this:

If a man can make a woman laugh, she's much more likely to enter a relationship with him. If he can't, that's a significant negative.

Not that most men wouldn't find humor a positive in a partner, but there's less emphasis on it.

I never said it was impossible; I'm just saying I'd need to see more data to support the conclusion of this study.

It's in the study as a possibility, that men are funnier because it attracts mates.

Its a meta analysis of 28 studies since the 1970s. How many more do you need?

All humor is at some level based on pain.

Thats why the best comedians either had screwed up childhoods or suffer from depression.

Any women here who want to be comedians heres what you do. Find a comedy club and go on open mike night. Dont go to the clubs with nice supportive audiances go to the ones filled with asshole hecklers. If they make you cry your first day your in the right place. Then do open mike night again, and again. Do this at that horrible shitty club every day for a year.

After that you will walk out with some serious chops.

I'm anti-SJW, but I still have to roll my eyes at stuff like this that just comes off as basically the same kind of thing they would push, except slanted the opposite direction. Humor is subjective, and I have laughed at both men and women telling jokes. There is something to be said for humor and where it comes from, but just saying men are funnier than women is asinine.

Why is it asinine? It's a meta-analysis of a large number of studies. It also doesn't mean women can't be funny, just that men, on average, are funnier.

To be honest, when I think of comedians like Carlos Mencia, my first thought in response to this is to be thankful that women are cold fish if that's what it means to be funny. Perhaps it is a proof that we're morally superior.

having lived in the barrio, getto, and trailer parks I can firmly tell you that the anser is no, women are just as bad as the guys.
