Do you think women comedians in general can pull off slap stick humor and be funny at it?

[Still-alive]

Here's Lucielle Ball, but she's kind of an exception

you know just physical type of humor, often times involving falls, or bumps to the head.. or like the three stooges whacking each other in the face or doing the two finger poke thing in the eyes

Yes I think women generally can make slap stick humor funny

No they generally can't, only rare exceptions can make it funny

[jennifer_bloom]

I'm not sure what slapstick humour is but I think male comedians tend to be funnier cause to be funny you have to be spontaneous and creative and unusually and illogically direct and girls tend to be more predictable and passive socially since society raises woman that way.

[Still-alive]

slapstick is the physical kind of humor. such as falls, tripping, nonserious injuries, pies to the face etc etc

[jennifer_bloom]

with that I think woman could be just as funny as men if not funnier.

[CrypticViper]

There are a few that can do it, and do it well. It's like that with any comedian though, there's some whose delivery and sets that will have you unable to breath from laughing too much, others that only some like, and then the rest who think they're funny but aren't funny at all.

[Still-alive]

There are a lot of people that think women can't be funny generally.

[CrypticViper]

It comes down to preference I guess. Betty White is hilarious, I don't know if she could do slapstick comedy, and would love for her to.

[najekim]

Overall, only the special ones can do slapstick. Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Mary Tyler Moore were good ones. Nowadays, IMHO, female comedians seems not to have the aptitude needed for real slapstick. If Vaudeville was still around and thriving, it would be a different story.

[PaynefulPleasures]

Carol Burnett & Vicki Lawrence

[Still-alive]

right they were good too, but do you think they are rare exceptions though?

[PaynefulPleasures]

In this day an age yes
Those were the good old days

[OddBeMe]

Madeleine Kahn was also a genius comedian.

[PaynefulPleasures]

Yes so true Blazing Saddles lmao 😂

[Still-alive]

i also remember here from history of the world part 1 and clue

[PaynefulPleasures]

Clue I love that movie nothing made me laugh so hard literally for that time period but even still I could probably put it on and still lmao 😆

ROFLMAO 😂🤣
The lips hair dress nails lol 😆 thank you for sharing ✌️

[Bellatris]

That's exactly what I'm like with the plastic bags in the Leslie Nielsen clip. It takes me forever to get those damn things open.

[Still-alive]

well congrats you are a slapstick comedian now 😎

[Jazquee]

I'm... fuck ya they can... Lucille Ball, Carole Brunett, Philis Diller, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Mellisa Mccarthy. And of course my favourite. Betty White...

[MasterOfReality]

I stand corrected... I guess I have Amy Schumer on the mind..

[MCheetah]

No. Women in general aren't funny, because being funny requires both bravery and making an ass of yourself, two things women are conditioned to avoid at all costs. Lucille Ball and Joan Rivers are VERY rare exceptions of women.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yes, if you funny you funny if you not you not, don't think gender plays into that as much as people's perception of what's funny...

[BlacklightShade]

I watched some Monty Python's Flying Circus a few months ago and I can say that not a lot of people could be as funny given the same material. There's a reason why some things last.

[Kaneki05]

Honestly not a fan of that humor anyway. So couldn't judge to say. But would guess so. Since women are just as fun as men. So if men can do it they can too.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea just depends on the woman and if she's trying to hard. For example, Nikki Glasier and Wanda Sykes are funny. Tiffany Haddish and Amy Schumer are not

[Jazquee]

Really... Amy... i love her... but I'm into the gross humor.

[Anonymous]

Many of the people you showed in the pictures can't do it and be funny. Entertainment for retards.

[Still-alive]

Your taste in comedy sucks then.

[NamerOfStars]

Sure- just look at stuff from golden age of Vaudeville. It's definitely harder for them, though; social mores being what they are.

[exitseven]

It is just so ingrained in me that you are not supposed to hit girls that all the stuff the Three Stooges did to each other would not be as funny if they were three stoogettes.

[Waldoe]

no one does slapstick anymore, because its NOT funny to anyone over 10 years old

[Still-alive]

ohhh well excuuuuuse me mr "my humor is better than yours"

[Waldoe]

you're excused

@Evil_Chuck yeeah... OLD news

[Jesus_is_the_guey]

To be fair hardly anyone pulls it off without being corny but women usually aren’t funny at all there are some exceptions but on average nope

[The_Maphio]

They can. Or better they could. Not the modern ones though. They are HORRIBLE at it.

[snackthatsmilesback]

Sure they can. But there just aren't as many women comedians as there are men so there aren't as many funny ones.

[karaspara]

Rarely lol I can only think of one called Miranda many funny female comedians just not so much in that style in my opinion

[Phoenix98]

Very few I think.

I haven't really seen to many that were legitimately funny to me.

[Bazpurum]

Yess ✔️✔️✔️💚💙💛

[DaveToo]

They've been doing it for decades, starting with Mary Pickford, but even before her.

[Steinkopf]

Sounds sexist but I don't find women funny. Maybe this is because men enjoy rude/harsh language more.
