Why women are not funny

I nearly pissed my pants.

"But now they are pretty and wear less, and care less about the proprieties, and so, (did not understand this part) this might be the acchievement of my essayings, being to make sexier women try harder to amuse me. Well, that was my whole plan to start off with."

This is clearly not British humour....BORING.

So when it comes to women its only "the dykes and the jews" who are funny

Not Hitchens finest monment is it.

Hm. We had almost tears in the eyes here, laughing.

Let's call it humour for the advanced, then.

Well. I never had a single laugh for Fawlty Towers and stopped watching it soon due to boredom, I could not connect it in any way to the humour the same makers showed in Monthy Python episodes, so... c'est la vie...

Watch Lisa Lampanelli on Youtube if you like shock comedy.

It was very offensive yes, But honestly It made sense. Almost every female comedian I have seen is emulating man's humor

It seems to me that you guys have COMPLETELY missed the subtelty in Hitchen's comment. And that it was a reply in a greater context deriving from a distance-"duel" between him and certain others.

That is not meant serious, and never was, and as far as I know also was not answered in a blood-serious meaning by any of the mentioned ladies.

He was extremely humorous and did not take any of what he said serious - just played the joke over two or three cushions. Compared to the dryness of his joking, the desert is a moist if not even wet place.

Just look at his face, and the very subtle mimic, especially that which is almost not there! Almost... I am sure he struggled hard not to laugh out loud and spoil it all.

Boy, his whole reasoning on why from a point of evolution women do not even need to be funny, is a joke! The whole clip is! Must I poke a telephone pole into your eyes to raise your attention?

He is pulling your legs, and their legs - and you all fall for it!

Well, as I said: humour for the advanced.

Rule #1 of comedy, if you have to explain it it ain't comedy.

Yeah, not to mention, we're not "advanced" enough

Okay, note to myself: in the future only jokes of sitcom niveau, delivered with a sledgehammer or a hydraulic ram. No subtelties and nothing that stresses awareness beyond early wake-up point. Collapsing buildings or exploding cars would be helpful to hold listener's attention.

There you go again, subtly suggesting the rest of us are beneath you. Why, Sky, why?
