What does that have to do with anything?


The truth is that a large part of comedy revolves around crassness. In our culture, it's funny when a guy talks about cheating on his girlfriend and having to stop at a gas station to clean the glitter lip gloss off his penis (actual Dane Cook crap), but gross when a girl talks in the same manner. It sucks and it is hopefully changing, but that's how it has traditionally been. Female comedians, and there have been many other successful ones besides Degeneres, have had to work much harder - and be much funnier - in order to craft bits that work. Smart comedy is a lot harder than sex/bodily function comedy.

Apart from stand-up, have you guys never been around genuinely funny girls in your own lives?
