Women Aren't Funny

Bonnie mcfarlane is not funny and very pushy person. Her husband had to make calls to get her on the stage. She forced another female comic to get her name on the funny female comic list. Bonnie needs to quit comedy if she is going to be pushy and needy.

She pretended to be a man so she could prove that people are not laughing at her jokes because she is a woman. But it turned out the fact that she is just not funny PERSON.

She has this much on her hand to waste on a movie. She should focus on writing some better materils instead.

In conclusion, Women Aren't Funny is a ill-intentioned AND ultimately underwhelming documentary, hindered by Bonnie McFarlane's pushy demeanor and lack of comedic talent. Her presence overwhelms the narrative, making it difficult for the film to effectively challenge stereotypes or celebrate the achievements of female comedians. While it raises important questions about gender and representation in comedy, McFarlane's approach leaves the documentary feeling disjointed and unconvincing.

I think all of the other reviewers are completely missing the mark here... At the end of the day, this movie was intended to be funny. Yes, it is technically a documentary, but in the end, it was an attempt at humor. With that in mind, this movie hits the mark, and it hits it a lot. Very, very funny. From the interviews, to the bits of stand up, I was very entertained. My only gripe with the entire movie was redundancy. The same point is often made numerous times. It was as if they ran out of different ways to ask the same question, and began to ask the same question the same way.

I give major kudos to Bonnie, for making a very entertaining film in the end. I think a sequel may be in order. Production can start once Bonnie finally wises up, and leaves that moron mush mouth Rich Voss. The fact that Bonnie has been able to accomplish even a modicum of success with Rich around is an accomplishment, in and of itself.

I love Vos and Bonnie. I know that is weird cuz I've never met them. But their podcast is hilarious, their comedy is great, and this movie is very well done for a first movie.

My favorite part is seeing Bonnie's butt in the weeds. It was amazing. Didn't JO to it but plan to.

The only thing I didn't like is how Bonnie doubts her skills, or the podcast, or her humor in general. I understand she's a chick and gets emotional bit Jesus it gets old. Vos is close minded, for sure ("No I'm not!") but that's prob why I liked this movie so much. Cuz you get to see the madness behind the scenes.

If you like Vos and Bonnie, definitely give this a shot. You'll probably love it, and it'll prob put you in a good mood.

If you're going to make a movie about how people perceive that woman aren't funny... at least make it funny. There are lots of funny women in comedy, McFarlene isn't one of them, even though she got lots of funny women in the movie, to which she never took to her advantage. I'm still lost, as a fan of comedy this was still the worst documentary I have seen on Netflix. The only reason for positive reviews is seeing lots of comics people know.

Hail the likes of Joan, Wanda, Silverman, Amy Etc....but this is is pile of trash, and pretty sure I could take a camera out on a Friday night and film funnier stuff than this in a matter of hours.

Comedian Bonnie McFarlane dons her investigative journalist's hat to find out once and for all if women are funny and report her unbiased findings in what some are calling the most important documentary of our generation.

Apparently, this all started when Christopher Hitchens wrote an editorial called "Why Women Aren't Funny". Unfortunately, he died and can no longer discuss his thoughts.

Early on, it seems like most of the male comedians interviewed seem to think there is a lack of funny women. One guy does say with so many male comics, there are probably more unfunny male comics than all women combined. That makes sense. Maybe women are just as funny, but there are fewer examples...

Calling this a "cocumentary" was a bad idea. In fact, the whole segment with the radio show seems pointless and the husband could be cut out entirely, too. Explore your topic rather than padding 30 minutes of material with fluff.

But, really, are women funny? This may ultimately be subjective. Men probably do not find women funny who base their standup on their kids. Which, sadly, seems to be the case. But women who tread into more traditionally male territory, like Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer, are drop dead hilarious.

More importantly: Is Maria Bamford funny? No.
