Enema Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 AND this is a serious question for St. Nick....why don't you go gay? Then you would have the most compatible partner you're looking for. You really think it's as simple as just choosing to be gay? Come on, you're smarter than that. This is just a weak attempt to nettle the guy.
Twenty-ten Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 I am not here to be funny, or make people laugh.. However girls I have dated find me to be very funny. See, yet I find myself laughing at what you post often, and I am absolutely certain you don't even mean to be funny. Hmmm about being very funny with the women you date....I dunnow about that.... Reason I say this is because I've read quite a few of your posts, you're a one trick pony in terms of the comments you make about women. I seriously doubt that a person with that narrow of a range when it comes to looking at life has the creativity to see the world in a way that even resembles something humorous.
Engadget Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 You really think it's as simple as just choosing to be gay? Come on, you're smarter than that. This is just a weak attempt to nettle the guy. No one chooses to be gay, but people experiment with members of the same sex without being gay.
burning 4 revenge Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Calizaggy...I ask this in all sincerity and without any intention to be sarcastic. Could you link me to the post where you were funny? Calizaggy is freaking hilarious, are you kidding me?
FryFish Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 These threads always follow the same pattern; guy says women aren't funny, then a string of women rumble in with: 1) I'M funny, people tell me so 2) Here's a funny female; this exception destroys the rule 3) Mens humour is crude, you don't get our subtlety ....and then, once those basics have been covered a few times - we continue for 10 pages of LS women trying to be funny but pretending they're not.Reposted for uncanny accurateness.
Twenty-ten Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah because this topic is as dumb as arguing over who likes the number "10" and why. It's purely for entertainment, sorry some of you boys thought the meaning of life would be revealed here.
burning 4 revenge Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 I remember them! They were feisty girls! OK that was pretty funny. You have a great sense of humor when youre in a bad mood and go with your emotion instead of intellectualizing things so much Come to think of it AbFab had its moments too, so maybe I should ammend my theory to American women arent funny ...though that doesnt make any sense either. Maybe my theory should be changed to women can be funny, but its more fun to say theyre not funny
Taramere Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Calizaggy is freaking hilarious, are you kidding me? Calizaggy goose-stepping from thread to thread on Loveshack isn't enough to make me laugh. It reminds me of that John Cleese "Ministry of Silly Walks" clip. Which, in turn, makes me think of that "Dead Parrot" sketch between Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. It always gets dredged up as one of the funniest things of all time. Why?
burning 4 revenge Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Calizaggy goose-stepping from thread to thread on Loveshack isn't enough to make me laugh. I thought that was funny. Anything involving goose-stepping is funny. Including Calizaggy.
melodymatters Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Given the same venue and the same "job", I would say Lisa Lamponelli smokes most of the guys during the comedy central roasts ! Of course her comedown, is that she must be mocked for being a disgusting whore. Lesson being you can't be funny AND sexy, cuz that just confuses the guys, and better to insult yourself first, and hardest, so their ego's will allow them to accept your humour.....
alphamale Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 the majority of females have a hard time generating good humour. but i think that most of them can recognize good humour and laugh at it.
Houndsoflove Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 you guys need to go out and befriend more women instead of posting on the internet about what women are and arent capable of.

It always gets dredged up as one of the funniest things of all time. Why? The Monty Python version was much better. In fact Python is about as funny as it gets though a lot of women don't seem to get it. Love the Brit humor. Their combo of silly, physical humor combined with intellectual outrageousness was unparalleled. When I meet a woman who does I sense an almost instantaneous attraction for some reason.
Awesome Username Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 This is a matter that is close to my heart! I am an animator. That is my job. I look up to people like Mike Judge, Don Hertzfeldt and Trey Parker who make their own animations all by themselves. One day, I got Sony Vegas and a microphone, and decided to try to do some voices for funny little characters. I also "cast" myself into a normal character and tried to use my (pretty much) natural voice, cartoonized (Think Stan from South Park.) What I realized after listening to myself shocked me - it was not funny. It was funny on paper, but it wasn't funny at all when I read the lines. I did everything I could, and I have a fairly changeable voice, but I know what I know and I know that it was super lame and awkward. I knew for a fact that if I had a man's voice, it would be funny. If it was a man's voice pretending to be a woman, that's really funny. A woman's voice pretending to be a man isn't very funny. A woman's voice that is so changeable that it sounds like a little kid like Bart Simpson is acceptable, but it's very hard to find (Saffron Henderson is great at this...she voiced both Shippo and Gohan). It's almost as if the audience goes, "Why is the voice a woman pretending to be a man? Is there something I don't get?" Or you get a sense of, "Wow, a girl did this animation?" and it's more quirky and different than funny. The truth is that a female voice on a sexless stick man registers as a girl, while a male's voice on a stick man registers as a person. In order to make anything funny, I had to use pitch-shift on my computer and make angry mouse characters. It was funny as Hell, but I had to jump through hoops and hide the gender of my voice to do it. It's sad, but artistically if something doesn't work you have to make it work somehow anyway. We women are funny and we know what is funny, but when we do the stuff that men do it just doesn't come across as funny. My best friend and I wanted to wear masks and streak across the field during the last football game of the year in highschool. We were jazzed until she looked and me and went, "You know what? Two dudes in gorilla masks streaking across the field would be funny. If it's two chicks it would be either hot, strange, or awkward, but if it we were two dudes it would be a better idea." She was right. Anjelah Johnson is pretty damn funny though, and so is Ellen Degeneres on a good day. Anjelah: It exists, but we girls have to do impressions of other women and be quirky/sarcastic in order to pull off any sort of laugh.

Love the Brit humor. Their combo of silly, physical humor combined with intellectual outrageousness was unparalleled. When I meet a woman who does I sense an almost instantaneous attraction for some reason. Oh no...believe me. I am the only person in the world who isn't a Monty Python fan. Everyone else I've ever spoken to about this, male or female, loves Monty Python. One new year's eve a bunch of us were supposed to go out, then Life of Brian came on. There was a vote of 7 to 1 (me dissenting) that we should stay in and watch it. That's probably had an impact on me. I do like one MP clip where John Cleese sniffily persuades the fat man to eat just one more wafer thin mint until he explodes. But generally I'm just not into it. I think it's because they were all just a little too hammy for my liking.

She was right. It's funny you should mention that. Have you seen Borat? If so...the naked wrestling scene. Borat with his hugely fat producer....wrestling eachother into a 69 position...then Borat chasing the fat producer into a hall where a convention was being held. They both leap onto the stage, carry on wrestling naked in front of the shocked crowd until they're hauled away by security. I was imagining how it would be if two women - one of them exceedingly fat - had done that scene. I know that provided it had been acted well, and neither actress had held back, I'd have laughed myself sick at something like that. I bet a lot of other people would too...but there's absolutely no doubt that it wouldn't be to many people's taste. I think good comedy often is awkward and even a bit creepy. You don't quite want to look, but at the same time you're killing yourself laughing. I think that's definitely a Brit thing, though. The Office had to be remade to an American format because the original wouldn't have gone down well with the US mainstream Viewers would be saying "that's not funny...it's just weird."

Anjelah: It exists, but we girls have to do impressions of other women and be quirky/sarcastic in order to pull off any sort of laugh. But is this an inborn trait, like ; Men have more muscle mass per LB and can not carry children, or is it socialized ???? I tend to think the latter. I was never a comedian, but I wrote the scripts for my murder mystery, and interactive childrens theatre, BOTH of which were comically based. My female actors got as many laughs as did my male, but NOTE : these were never the hero/heroine characters. They were obliged to play it straight, while the "Dotty Aunt" or "Crabby Butler" got all the laugh lines. Again, I think people, especially male people, have a hard time thinking SEX and HAHA within the same vessel.....
alphamale Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 In fact Python is about as funny as it gets though a lot of women don't seem to get it. most women don't seem to "get" any of the best made humour. their idea of funny is when their girlfriend gets a run in her pantyhose.

They both leap onto the stage, carry on wrestling naked in front of the shocked crowd until they're hauled away by security. Edit: was that Borat or Bruno? Now I can't remember. As far as the ministry of silly walks that is one of my all time fave Monty P skits. John Cleese all tall and lanky doing those retarded walks was priceless. As a kid I died laughing we would play that skit over and over again, I suspect I would still find that funny today. Some things I just don't outgrow.
xxoo Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 most women don't seem to "get" any of the best made humour. their idea of funny is when their girlfriend gets a run in her pantyhose. "Best made humour" is subjective. And no one wears pantyhose anymore
calizaggy Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Seriously , when is the last time you ever heard a woman tell a joke correctly.. (not a handful of professional comedians) Before the joke is half way finished it is already messed up..
sally4sara Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I've never understood this. I've yet to meet someone I couldn't get a chuckle out of, but then, I hung out with guys more growing up so who knows. Anywhere you go, there are people providing comedic material to work with, including yourself. We all do dumba$$ things.
alphamale Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Seriously , when is the last time you ever heard a woman tell a joke correctly.. (not a handful of professional comedians).. when was the last time you heard a woman attempt to make a joke?

I'd rather have my own thoughts and observations not become a good story teller for someone else's anecdotes.
