Girls are not funny


Why Women Aren't Funny | Vanity Fair

Be your gender what it may, you will certainly have heard the following from a female friend who is enumerating the charms of a new (male) squeeze: “He’s really quite cute, and he’s kind to my friends, and he knows all kinds of stuff, and he’s so funny . . . “ (If you yourself are a guy, and you know the man in question, you will often have said to yourself, “Funny? He wouldn’t know a joke if it came served on a bed of lettuce with sauce béarnaise.”) However, there is something that you absolutely never hear from a male friend who is hymning his latest (female) love interest: “She’s a real honey, has a life of her own . . . [interlude for attributes that are none of your business] . . . and, man, does she ever make ‘em laugh.”

Now, why is this? Why is it the case?, I mean. Why are women, who have the whole male world at their mercy, not funny? Please do not pretend not to know what I am talking about.

All right—try it the other way (as the bishop said to the barmaid). Why are men, taken on average and as a whole, funnier than women? Well, for one thing, they had damn well better be. The chief task in life that a man has to perform is that of impressing the opposite sex, and Mother Nature (as we laughingly call her) is not so kind to men. In fact, she equips many fellows with very little armament for the struggle. An average man has just one, outside chance: he had better be able to make the lady laugh. Making them laugh has been one of the crucial preoccupations of my life. If you can stimulate her to laughter—I am talking about that real, out-loud, head-back, mouth-open-to-expose-the-full-horseshoe-of-lovely-teeth, involuntary, full, and deep-throated mirth; the kind that is accompanied by a shocked surprise and a slight (no, make that a loud) peal of delight—well, then, you have at least caused her to loosen up and to change her expression. I shall not elaborate further.

Women have no corresponding need to appeal to men in this way. They already appeal to men, if you catch my drift. Indeed, we now have all the joy of a scientific study, which illuminates the difference. At the Stanford University School of Medicine (a place, as it happens, where I once underwent an absolutely hilarious procedure with a sigmoidoscope), the grim-faced researchers showed 10 men and 10 women a sample of 70 black-and-white cartoons and got them to rate the gags on a “funniness scale.” To annex for a moment the fall-about language of the report as it was summarized in Biotech Week:

The researchers found that men and women share much of the same humor-response system; both use to a similar degree the part of the brain responsible for semantic knowledge and juxtaposition and the part involved in language processing. But they also found that some brain regions were activated more in women. These included the left prefrontal cortex, suggesting a greater emphasis on language and executive processing in women, and the nucleus accumbens . . . which is part of the mesolimbic reward center.

This has all the charm and address of the learned Professor Scully’s attempt to define a smile, as cited by Richard Usborne in his treatise on P. G. Wodehouse: “the drawing back and slight lifting of the corners of the mouth, which partially uncover the teeth; the curving of the naso-labial furrows . . . “ But have no fear—it gets worse:

“Women appeared to have less expectation of a reward, which in this case was the punch line of the cartoon,” said the report’s author, Dr. Allan Reiss. “So when they got to the joke’s punch line, they were more pleased about it.” The report also found that “women were quicker at identifying material they considered unfunny.”

Slower to get it, more pleased when they do, and swift to locate the unfunny—for this we need the Stanford University School of Medicine? And remember, this is women when confronted with humor. Is it any wonder that they are backward in generating it?

This is not to say that women are humorless, or cannot make great wits and comedians. And if they did not operate on the humor wavelength, there would be scant point in half killing oneself in the attempt to make them writhe and scream (uproariously). Wit, after all, is the unfailing symptom of intelligence. Men will laugh at almost anything, often precisely because it is—or they are—extremely stupid. Women aren’t like that. And the wits and comics among them are formidable beyond compare: Dorothy Parker, Nora Ephron, Fran Lebowitz, Ellen DeGeneres. (Though ask yourself, was Dorothy Parker ever really funny?) Greatly daring—or so I thought—I resolved to call up Ms. Lebowitz and Ms. Ephron to try out my theories. Fran responded: “The cultural values are male; for a woman to say a man is funny is the equivalent of a man saying that a woman is pretty. Also, humor is largely aggressive and pre-emptive, and what’s more male than that?” Ms. Ephron did not disagree. She did, however, in what I thought was a slightly feline way, accuse me of plagiarizing a rant by Jerry Lewis that said much the same thing. (I have only once seen Lewis in action, in The King of Comedy, where it was really Sandra Bernhard who was funny.)

In any case, my argument doesn’t say that there are no decent women comedians. There are more terrible female comedians than there are terrible male comedians, but there are some impressive ladies out there. Most of them, though, when you come to review the situation, are hefty or dykey or Jewish, or some combo of the three. When Roseanne stands up and tells biker jokes and invites people who don’t dig her shtick to suck her dick—know what I am saying? And the Sapphic faction may have its own reasons for wanting what I want—the sweet surrender of female laughter. While Jewish humor, boiling as it is with angst and self-deprecation, is almost masculine by definition.

Substitute the term “self-defecation” (which I actually heard being used inadvertently once) and almost all men will laugh right away, if only to pass the time. Probe a little deeper, though, and you will see what Nietzsche meant when he described a witticism as an epitaph on the death of a feeling. Male humor prefers the laugh to be at someone’s expense, and understands that life is quite possibly a joke to begin with—and often a joke in extremely poor taste. Humor is part of the armor-plate with which to resist what is already farcical enough. (Perhaps not by coincidence, battered as they are by motherfucking nature, men tend to refer to life itself as a bitch.) Whereas women, bless their tender hearts, would prefer that life be fair, and even sweet, rather than the sordid mess it actually is. Jokes about calamitous visits to the doctor or the shrink or the bathroom, or the venting of sexual frustration on furry domestic animals, are a male province. It must have been a man who originated the phrase “funny like a heart attack.” In all the millions of cartoons that feature a patient listening glum-faced to a physician (“There’s no cure. There isn’t even a race for a cure”), do you remember even one where the patient is a woman? I thought as much.

Precisely because humor is a sign of intelligence (and many women believe, or were taught by their mothers, that they become threatening to men if they appear too bright), it could be that in some way men do not want women to be funny. They want them as an audience, not as rivals. And there is a huge, brimming reservoir of male unease, which it would be too easy for women to exploit. (Men can tell jokes about what happened to John Wayne Bobbitt, but they don’t want women doing so.) Men have prostate glands, hysterically enough, and these have a tendency to give out, along with their hearts and, it has to be said, their dicks. This is funny only in male company. For some reason, women do not find their own physical decay and absurdity to be so riotously amusing, which is why we admire Lucille Ball and Helen Fielding, who do see the funny side of it. But this is so rare as to be like Dr. Johnson’s comparison of a woman preaching to a dog walking on its hind legs: the surprise is that it is done at all.

The plain fact is that the physical structure of the human being is a joke in itself: a flat, crude, unanswerable disproof of any nonsense about “intelligent design.” The reproductive and eliminating functions (the closeness of which is the origin of all obscenity) were obviously wired together in hell by some subcommittee that was giggling cruelly as it went about its work. (“Think they’d wear this? Well, they’re gonna have to.”) The resulting confusion is the source of perhaps 50 percent of all humor. Filth. That’s what the customers want, as we occasional stand-up performers all know. Filth, and plenty of it. Filth in lavish, heaping quantities. And there’s another principle that helps exclude the fair sex. “Men obviously like gross stuff,” says Fran Lebowitz. “Why? Because it’s childish.” Keep your eye on that last word. Women’s appetite for talk about that fine product known as Depend is limited. So is their relish for gags about premature ejaculation. (“Premature for whom?” as a friend of mine indignantly demands to know.) But “child” is the key word. For women, reproduction is, if not the only thing, certainly the main thing. Apart from giving them a very different attitude to filth and embarrassment, it also imbues them with the kind of seriousness and solemnity at which men can only goggle. This womanly seriousness was well caught by Rudyard Kipling in his poem “The Female of the Species. ” After cleverly noticing that with the male “mirth obscene diverts his anger”—which is true of most work on that great masculine equivalent to childbirth, which is warfare—Kipling insists:

But the Woman that God gave him,
every fibre of her frame
Proves her launched for one sole issue,
armed and engined for the same,
And to serve that single issue,
lest the generations fail,
The female of the species must be
deadlier than the male.

The word “issue” there, which we so pathetically misuse, is restored to its proper meaning of childbirth. As Kipling continues:

She who faces Death by torture for
each life beneath her breast
May not deal in doubt or pity—must
not swerve for fact or jest.

Men are overawed, not to say terrified, by the ability of women to produce babies. (Asked by a lady intellectual to summarize the differences between the sexes, another bishop responded, “Madam, I cannot conceive. ”) It gives women an unchallengeable authority. And one of the earliest origins of humor that we know about is its role in the mockery of authority. Irony itself has been called “the glory of slaves.” So you could argue that when men get together to be funny and do not expect women to be there, or in on the joke, they are really playing truant and implicitly conceding who is really the boss.

The ancient annual festivities of Saturnalia, where the slaves would play master, were a temporary release from bossdom. A whole tranche of subversive male humor likewise depends on the notion that women are not really the boss, but are mere objects and victims. Kipling saw through this:

So it comes that Man, the coward,
when he gathers to confer
With his fellow-braves in council,
dare not leave a place for her.

In other words, for women the question of funniness is essentially a secondary one. They are innately aware of a higher calling that is no laughing matter. Whereas with a man you may freely say of him that he is lousy in the sack, or a bad driver, or an inefficient worker, and still wound him less deeply than you would if you accused him of being deficient in the humor department.

Men are funnier than women, study claims

Men are funnier than women, researchers have claimed.

They looked at the results of various studies in which people were asked to rate men and women's humour - without knowing their sex first.

Researchers found that 63% of men were funnier than the average woman.

The study looked at normal people rather than professional comedians, but Marina Bye, one half of the comedy duo Siblings, says the study feels "unnecessary".

"With comedy that's the last thing you want," she told Radio 1 Newsbeat.

She worries it could put women off getting into comedy.

"You want the worst and the best comedians to try because you never know. This study will cripple bravery.

"I really think it's unnecessary to do this study. They could've done something progressive."

Researchers from Aberystwyth University and the University of North Carolina analysed 28 studies which looked at how funny around 5,000 people were.

They wanted to see whether the stereotype that men are funnier than women was true.

Writing in Psychology Today, lead researcher Dr Gil Greengross said: "This stereotype is shared by both men and women - but of course, just because it exists does not mean it is true."

In many of the studies they looked at, men and women were asked to write a funny caption to accompany a cartoon - and then independent judges rated their funniness without knowing their gender.

Dr Gil said the results found that "to the best of our knowledge, on average, men appear to have higher humour production ability than women".

Dr Gil says comedian Sara Pascoe is "probably funnier than 99% of all males"

Speaking to Radio 1 Newsbeat on Tuesday, he added: "To clarify, the whole thing is not about 'women are not funny'... obviously there are some very funny stand-up comedians and I know many female comedians, some personally.

"Sara Pascoe, for example, she's a great comedian and she's probably funnier than 99% of all males in the world... it's just that on average we find there's a difference."

He says evidence suggests humour plays a "major role in mating".

The lecturer said women tend to look for a sense of humour in a partner as it is "strongly correlated with intelligence".

"Men, on the other hand, prefer women who laugh at their humour.

"That means that over our evolutionary history, men likely had to compete harder with other men to impress women with their sense of humour. "

Maddy Bye, who along with her sister Marina make up the comedy duo Siblings, says she finds the study "frustrating but also funny".

"Being in the comedy world I don't think we've done a gig in the last three years where there wasn't an equal amount of men and women on the bill.

"There are so many amazing male and female comedy shows. I don't know why they're trying to make it a scientific fact that women aren't funny."

Maddy says being a female in comedy is "better than it was before" but it's still a "man's world".

She recalls handing out fliers for their show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and a woman said it looked good but her boyfriend doesn't "think women are funny".

"The stereotype does exist but our way of dealing with it is to just do comedy."

The right to humor: why we still haven’t learned to joke about gender

Forbes Woman finds out why the stereotype has developed that humor is a male prerogative, why in a work environment a woman’s jokes are reacted differently than if a man jokes , and how not to do harm in the modern world by joking

It seems that there are more male comedians than women. But if you go deeper, a lot of female names will come up since the 20th century - from Lyubov Orlova and Faina Ranevskaya to KVN participants, Comedy Woman heroines, bloggers like Nastya Ivleeva and TikTok stars. And Amy Schumer, Melissa McCarthy and Tina Fey are known all over the world and can already be considered classics.

“Girls joke with each other just as much as men,” says Xenia Dukalis, host of the comedy show, co-founder of the Belong Agency and TED Talks participant. "I'm always joking, it's part of me and my character," she says. However, according to Dukalis, the public field has its own rules: “You really feel the filters: both received from relatives and the environment in which you grew up, and public ones. For example, when I joke and use an obscene word, it flies to me in the comments that a girl shouldn’t do that.

Humor has no gender, but has a gender

Women's humor (at least in Russia) at first glance differs from men's. Nevertheless, humor as a phenomenon does not depend on gender, studies show, including brain scans. Both women and men joke and evaluate other people's jokes in approximately the same way.

“Humor is funny or not funny regardless of national, racial, gender and other differences. If it’s really funny, then it’s funny to everyone who has a sense of humor,” says Olga Lysenkova, a practicing psychologist. With the fact that the concept of humor in itself is universal, the candidate of philological sciences Inna Verzhinskaya also agrees. But she notes that the nature of humor lies "in the comic contradiction of the established norm" and therefore cannot be considered outside the context, which determines the appropriateness. “The definitions of “subtle”, “flat”, “black” humor are contextual and are perceived differently depending on the gender of the speaker. So, “female”, “male” humor can be described as situational,” says Verzhinskaya.

The man initially laughs with a sense of the right to do so, while the woman has to win back her right. performance practices of our time Olga Roginskaya. “The position of the humorist is the position of power over the situation. This makes it clear that there is a figure of a jester in official power. The jester highlighted the official position, revealing its shortcomings, and served as a mirror for the authorities. Therefore, the attempt of women to play the role of a person who laughs has always been considered illegitimate. If I defend the right to joke, then I insist on my place in this world and the right to assess the situation, to question what is happening, ”the expert says.

Women's humor is a tool and evidence of emancipation, culture expert Anastasia Kamyshanova develops this idea in her master's work. Within the framework of a patriarchal culture, a woman is endowed with a number of functions that are incompatible with the role of a humorist. First, the woman is assigned the preservation of cultural values, while the comedian is engaged in their rethinking. Secondly, the subject of humor can show aggression (superiority) towards the object of humor. Male aggression is normalized, female - practically none.

“A female comedian needs double legitimation: she must prove to the public that she is feminine, despite her status as a comedian, and she must prove that she is capable of joking, despite the fact that she is a woman,” writes Kamyshanova.

“It’s funny until the age of 45, and then it starts”: Elena Novikova - about women’s stand-up and the TV series “I’m not kidding” that a man is more brutal and stronger than a woman, a male earner, he has to overcome some difficulties more in order to feed his family, this tempers him and makes him look at life through the prism of humor. The humor of a woman is more in the nature of a response to the humor of a man.

Besides, let's not forget that humor is creativity. And women's creative energy is still often spent on the family, so we meet fewer women in the creative field, in principle, Lysenkova notes. Roginskaya also agrees with this, according to her, a man initially laughs with a sense of the right to it, while a woman spends a lot of energy on the very winning of this right and less resources are left for laughter as such.

Men joke about a wide range of topics, and women joke about men

In the progressive world, there should be no division into female and male humor, experts say. Ksenia Dukalis is sure that for every joke about the structure of the female body there is a joke about the structure of the male. But slight gender disparities persist in some societies, with men joking about a wide range of topics and women joking about men. “This is the first need - to comprehend the female role, moments of professional, personal unfulfillment. And first of all, she gets the role of a housewife and the relationship between a woman and a man nearby, ”says Roginskaya. And while the cultural memory contains the traditional idea of ​​gender roles, topics for women will be limited to this circle.

Humor promotes the career growth of men. And women?

They joke not only in informal settings. Humor is an essential part of professional life. It promotes productivity and unites the team, prevents stress and prevents burnout. And healthy sarcasm can actually increase creativity.

X5 Retail Group Legal Director Yekaterina Lobacheva recalls that humor has accompanied her since her student days. “Humor has always been and remains my companion in all areas and issues. And he always helped me - to start communication, to end negotiations on a cheerful note, to defuse the situation even at very serious meetings. In general, a smile always saves the situation! From the latest examples - during the official visit of the federal minister and the governor to the X5 Retail Group Distribution Center, a few jokes at the beginning helped to defuse the atmosphere and make the participants of the event smile. And everything went easily and calmly, ”says the lawyer and adds that, in her opinion, others expect smiles from the girl. “And if it is accompanied by subtle humor, then it is doubly pleasant,” she says.

Funny men are perceived and valued higher than unfunny ones, but the opposite is true for women

“In my team, everything is based on a cheerful discussion of even the most critical situations. I myself am a great optimist by nature and always try to think positively, so I welcome a good mood in every possible way, even when discussing mistakes and conclusions from them, ”Lobacheva shares her principles.

A sense of humor is not the main quality, but it should not be underestimated when creating a good working environment. A survey by recruiting company Robert Half in 2017 found that 91% of executives believe that a sense of humor is important for career advancement. And 84% believe that people with a good sense of humor do their job better.

But if we talk about women, everything is again not so simple. Researchers from the University of Arizona and the University of Colorado at Boulder found in 2019 that women's careers can suffer if they use humor at work. The researchers conducted an experiment in which they showed a focus group four videos of a retail manager (two played by a male actor, the other two by a woman) making a presentation. One version of the presentation featured a script without humor, while another had the actors incorporate workplace jokes into it. The subjects perceived and rated funny men higher than unfunny ones, but with women, everything turned out to be the opposite.

The researchers attributed the results to stereotypes. Men at work are seen as ambitious, driven, and rational. Humor goes well with these qualities, as it is perceived as something that helps relieve stress at work. Thus, male humor is interpreted positively. But women are often viewed as being less focused on their work, as they have more family responsibilities, and therefore women's humor is interpreted negatively as a nuisance.

However, the experiment took into account only the first impressions of the participants. In the longer term, a driven woman with a sense of humor may be perceived better. And he can even make a woman in a leadership role closer to her subordinates.

For example, McKinsey partner Natalya Boksha is known for her sense of humor — her team members in feedback each time note that they appreciate the leader, among other things, for encouraging jokes. “I myself am happy to tell funny stories, a lot of them have accumulated over the years,” says the top manager. Boksha believes that in times of a pandemic, a leader (she especially emphasizes that in this context she sees no difference between a man and a woman) simply needs to provide a sense of psychological security and emotional stability both in the work team and when interacting with counterparties. “Humor is an excellent element of defusing the situation and sets the participants in the discussion in a positive way. I myself personally appreciate people with a good sense of humor and prefer to work with such people,” Boksha is sure. However, he clarifies that there are two conditions: “the joke must be appropriate and must not offend anyone.”

Indeed, a 2018 study shows that bosses' sense of humor affects work. The fact is that leaders often joke (perhaps because they feel “relaxed”). But with an increase in the total number of jokes, the number of inappropriate ones also grows, which negatively affects the atmosphere in the team. The jokes of the authorities are more often aggressive or “benevolently” crossing the line.

A simple rule: everyone laughs at something, not someone at someone

The modern culture of cancellation (ostracism) began with bad jokes as well. Therefore, humor is called a double-edged sword. A bad joke can easily ruin a career that a person has built for decades. Already considered a classic is the example of PR specialist Justine Sacco, or "the most hated woman on Twitter. " Before boarding the plane, Sacco wrote: “I’m flying to Africa. I hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding, I'm white!" When the plane landed, not only did she no longer work for the company, but she became an outcast online and offline.

A Kuwaiti TV presenter was suspended from her job in 2018 after she joked on air about her colleague's appearance, even though the joke was harmless enough. Passing the floor to a male correspondent who was not ready for the air and was adjusting his headgear, she said that he should stop doing this on camera, since he is already good-looking. The channel's management suspended cooperation with the journalist until the circumstances were clarified: the authorities considered that she had deviated from the formal regulations that must be observed in the official media.

Xenia Dukalis recalls the importance of tact: “I understand when a joke is inappropriate, and it's not always a question of an event: a job interview, a date, or even a funeral. It all depends on the context of the conversation, on who you are talking to and about what, how close it is to a person.

“A joke is good when they laugh not at someone, but all together at something. Laughing at someone, putting a person in an awkward situation, can only be done by someone who is devoid of a sense of humor - an evil and unreasonable person. A joke is good when it makes people happier, kinder, happier, because laughter releases accumulated energy and relaxes, ”says Lysenkova.

Perhaps, at some point, the heroes of the cases described above had a need to expose something bad, Roginskaya reflects. “It means that in this professional context there are no other areas where you can express your dissatisfaction. Such situations arise when it is stuffy, crowded and there is no opportunity to throw out and constructively discuss the accumulated, ”she believes. Such incidents may be career-damaging, but they help a woman see how worthy her job is.

“No jokes are allowed unless they are friendly and directed at individuals, this is unacceptable,” warns Lobacheva.

Humor is good only with regard to background literacy, qualifications, a high degree of psychological maturity and socialization of its author, Verzhinskaya agrees with her: “Both a woman and a man are allowed to joke about things that do not offend the feelings and dignity of the person addressed to whom a joke is sent. Knowledge of the national features of humor will allow you to be linguoculturologically and psychologically literate in communication and actualization of jokes.

The future belongs to laughter that is not related to gender roles. Research and common sense show that gender is one of the last things to laugh at. “Once laughter is freed from gender dependence, the very question of female and male humor will become a thing of the past. By the way, student humor is much less gender-dependent,” notes Roginskaya. In her opinion, when raising children, the task of developing a sense of humor should be one of the paramount ones, since, along with many other factors, laughter is an important condition for a person to be happy and successful: “In Russia, we are either serious or sentimental, unlike that or Anglo-Saxon culture. But it is worth remembering that serious complexes always stand behind total seriousness. It is also important to understand that the world is rich and varied and not as serious as we think we are when we strive for success. It is necessary to show less pathos, because nothing lasts forever. Understanding this makes us freer and calmer. Laughter is contemplation."

Online courses on how to construct safe jokes may soon become popular, but for now, everyone proceeds at their own peril and risk. Is there any way to prepare a joke? As a comedy show host, Dukalis sees certain patterns used in making jokes, but says they are almost always implicit. “The most I do is watch the show and try to parody the accents or the way the character moves, and when watching stand-ups, I note exactly how the comedian achieved the desired effect. The humor is built on the grotesque, unusual resolution of the situation, analogies and other factors - if you write jokes schematically, it seems to me that you will get inanimate anecdotes, ”the presenter shares the tactics of preparing for the performance.
