Kinda sad/ridiculous that this entire episode was about feminism. So a guy may be intimidated by a funny woman (most very funny people are incredibly intelligent, which is easily apparent when watching the women on this video), but so what? Women are just as intimated by an intelligent/ very funny man. There wasn't an entire episode of boys who do comedy entirely devoted to the male comedians whinging about all the sexism they imagined against them in the world.
@xarcherx987 Feminism is about women telling their life experiences. What exactly would you have preferred? An episode where they spent the entire thing silently baking pies?
Women comedians can share the common experience of being on a bill and being the one "woman comic" on a line-up of 10 guys.
That is entirely not the definition of feminism at all and nobody said they couldn't tell their life stories. That's the point of the show you retarded fuck knuckle. I was referring to the aside subtley feminist comments a lot of them were making. Questions such as "are men intimidated by comedy" well they won't know cos they're not men, but they're sure as hell sharing their feminist views on men more then talking about their comedy careers.
@xarcherx987 Indeed it is -- I assure you women who were not royalty did not have a voice until feminism. But as you have decided to insult me for no reason, I invite you to fuck yourself, and bid you adieu.
As a man I find it baffling when women feel this need to hide their excellence (humor or otherwise) around men. The only men that will win you are the insecure ones. If you're as smart and funny etc. as you can be, you draw a better sort of guy. So why do so many hide like that? I really just don't get it.
i fucking love it when girls are funny, shows they think about things and have their own minds. They've been lied to or been around the wrong kind of guys if a woman thinks that
Maybe I've been particularly lucky in the social circles I've traveled in, or maybe the women's rights movement has had some effect, because I can keep a room of guys' attention with my humor and not have to let one of them be the funniest or get the biggest joke.
DWB - Different with boys. Hang on.. isn't everyone, but the most confident/arrogant people, different with different groups? I'm different with women, Christians, drunk guys.. To me, it's a bit daft to expect people to accept just one version of me.
But in general, hearing this stuff just makes me think 'Who *are* these guys?? What are they, 16?' What sort of guy over around 20 is threatened by funny? Are they really in the majority?
i dont get the whole "women being funny isnt attractive" a woman who can make em cry with laughter just makes me love them more and more. it doenst matter on gender, if your funny you are funny, it doesnt emasculate anyone, it doesnt make me feel insecure. i prefer it, i'd rather them be loud and stupid and funny than hold it back. someone to have fun with. a kiss dulls but wits stay forever. i'd love have a woman like sarah silverman and have with better than my own. be a great time
9.28 - 9.44 is exactly what has happened to me. I was writing a play with a group of people, I said an idea, everyone dismissed it, a man said the exact same idea and everyone said 'yeah, lets do that' and it continued like that for the rest of the writing process. It kind of became an inside joke but it wasn't to begin with. Sad times.
the men sit close to talented women too..in order to pass their material off as their own. There are a duo of famous comedians in uk who do that at the minute... real, but unknown talents can get their apartments bugged.. particularly if they tend to vocalise their material at home..its got that bad ..they want baftas, they want big money...of course comedy can be stolen , just like any other commodity. so beware girls.
@annikee59 I know!!! I'd write these jokes, tell them, get the response of "oooh you're weird why would you say that??" then have a male friend tell them and people would roar with laughter. At least there are a few exceptions.
I've recently spent time with a group of friends in relaxed house parties. We start with food and talk and end up playing video games. Slowly we've moved from cooperative games to competitive, and I've watched with horror as a lovely young guy we know turns from a funny and supportive friend to an inconsolable misogynist. He can't stand being beaten by a girl. Period. No matter that the girls are marathon gamers, he cannot stand it. 1000 excuses pour from him, and blame is everywhere. So sad.
I agree that, for the most part, men are don't like women to be
funny-- I think humor is empowering. It is such a strong emotion- so many men don't have it. They can't see how powerful it is. If I'm feeling down and out- I always try to find a
way to laugh at my myself-- I don't like laughing (badly) at others
it's sad hearing, like, Kathy Burke or Meera Syal or Jessica Stevenson or Lisa Tarbuck, all sweet attractive beautiful human beings, saying that they were unpopular and that they thought being funny, or more funny than guys, made them unattractive, because i think that's an incredible trait and really admirable and sexy. i've got friends who say the trick to getting guys is acting stupid too. It's really disheartening. There will be times when you're with a partner and not shagging them.
most men can't handle women that are smarter than them. The men start to wonder if the women can see through their bullshit so they get intimidated and run away. It's too bad because ultimately i think the best partner is one who can challenge you, but a lot of men are just looking for someone they can control.
@ttfbxxxxx The trick for girls to get guys is neither to act stupid or to not be funny. The trick is to make the fella feel that he's funny, or smart, or strong.
If you make him feel good about you and bad about himself, he'll only stick around if he's a masochist. If you make him bad about you and good about himself, he'll look for something better. Make him feel both good about you and good about himself, neither at the expense of the other, and he'll stick around.
Hey, isn't this a bit misguided? Male comedians probably also temper their wit so they don't offend the person they're with. Does that make it sexist?
What the last woman who spoke and the ladies talking about feeling like they had to be submissive housewives was legitimate, but some of the other parts (e.g. Joan Rivers) might just be extending it a bit. For example, if someone was introducing Frankie Boyle they might say "he's not like he's on TV".
It's odd how much the female show talks so much about men and women they date, specifically about relationships but the men... don't. This series kind of shows that quite drastically.
that is the simply fabulous jessica stevenson.. who co-wrote and starred in spaced with simon pegg.. she goes by the name of jessica Hynes now. she is soooooooooo bloody funny
