Women ARE funny!!


To hear our class talk about the comedy world and how both men and women are in it these days made me wonder if my own generation has a problem with women paving their way into a man's world. Personality, the whole "men can only be funny" thing is getting tired and boring. It something we have always had and there was no diversity and the same jokes would be told. There is nothing new at all. 
The new era of women in comedy has brought laughter to a whole new level! And yes, it was because of women!! Don't, get me wrong Kevin Hart is one of my favorite comedians, but I think its because he uses his comedy with real world experiences, he doesn't have to try and be funny. There are women out there like that too. Bridesmaids is my all time favorite comedy! I was crying in the theater because I was laughing so hard and it was because of the women in the movie! Not one guy made me laugh! It was relatable, and the actors weren't trying to be funny! It was natural for them. Melissa McCarthy is now my favorite female comedian because of that movie. I can watch her in anything now because I know it is going to make me laugh. It is because of her persona that makes her successful! She already has a great personality and when you add in goofiness, you have a winner! 
Think women actually have an advantage over men when it comes to comedy because women are able to poke fun at more situations than males. We (women) go through so much more than men do when it comes to our personal life that men don't even know about (nor do they want to know about). That gives us our competitive edge because most men never want to talk about what women want to talk about, like it is a crime or something.
Women are funny! And there will be more to come! So sit back, relax and LAUGH!! It won't kill you!
