Sense Of Humour ?

[anneasquith]

obviously with some exceptions, do men have a better sense of humour than women, ?

[LoftyLottie]

Comedienne wise, I find Victoria Wood funny, but that's about it. But then I don't find many comedians very funny. I must have a bad sense of humour. Basically, I don't like stand up comedians of either sex. Prefer situation comedy - where men and women can both shine or comedians like the late Dave Allen. No 'jokes' please. I hate them.

i love Michael McIntyre, and Miranda, she is a bit bonkers, but so what.

[LoftyLottie]

I think Miranda is funny as a person, but not as a comedian or in her show. I don't mean that rudely. She would make a great friend and have me in stiches.

I think Men and Women laugh at different things.

Sarah Millican makes me laugh, apart from that I don't find many comediennes funny at all.

sammy i am not sure they do. I loved dad's army, and so did the o/h, tommy cooper, and the two ronnies, add in Eddie Izzard who is so far removed from that type of comedy, but he is amazing.

I find men dressed up as women funny. Dick Emery was brilliant at that.

[Bazile]

I find very very very few standup comedians funny ( the exception would be people like Ken Dodd and the late Tommy Cooper )

What make me laugh are -

Only Fools and Horses
Blackadder
The Two Ronnies
Jeeves and Wooster
Minder ( comedy drama )

But like I said earlier , what makes folk laugh is a subjective thing .

[Bazile]

My list is not exhaustive

[LoftyLottie]

Agree about Eddie Izzard, in all respects, as a comedian, as an actor, as a presenter, a reporter, as everything. An amazing bloke.

I am trying to think of a funny female... :0

[craft1948]

Funniest comedienne for me was Marti Caine.............

[Bazile]

Cazz - how about Joan Rivers ?

[cazzz1975]

ah yes, she is funny, caustic humour, you have got to love it :)

[atalanta]

The reason many men think women don't have such a good sense of humour as themselves :
When a man mocks a woman, and she doesn't laugh, he laughs himself and finds his own "humour" hilarious. The woman doesn't join in the laughter against herself, so he says she can't see the joke. It's not a joke, but a put-down by a man who feels the need to boost his ego at a woman's expense.
So, any diffident men out there . . . ?

[FredPuli43]

Women must have; my partner finds almost everything I do is funny but I don't see what's funny about it at all. For example, I fail to see what's funny about falling in to a frozen pond or turning up at a hotel in Geneva only to find I've arrived on the right date but a year early. Those are just annoying.

[emmie]

Fred, any woman would be amused at that i am sure...

[Barmaid]

I agree with Fredpuli and Jno. I laugh almost daily at the escapades of Mr BM (I suspect that if I didn't laugh I would cry). He doesn't find them funny. No sense of humour at all.

I have to say, on here I find equal numbers of men and women hilarious. There are a couple, whom I shan't name, but have me laughing out loud.
