Women Aren't Funny

To be quite honest, if this documentary was handled by someone else, it might have been interesting. But, this wasn't so much a question of if women are funny, but rather is Bonnie funny? And frankly, I think not. The "Do you recognize me?" and "Maria, add me to your funny ladies page" scenes are a little sad. Are women funny? Sure, probably equal to the percentage of men that are funny.

It's hard to say it's unbiased when she's trying to prove how funny SHE is throughout the whole movie, and taking (some) clips out of context. I know that Doug Stanhope is talking about the reason he got into comedy when talking about being funny as a way to get girls.

At the very least, it's about as good as any "Cocumentary", in the sense you get to hear your favorite comedians talk off the stage. But, it's a shame that this could be the last appearance for some recently passed comedians.

All-in-all, watch this if you've watched every other cocumentary on Netflix/Hulu.

This "cocumentary" is funny same as Bonny being funny. This whole movie is about her and not much about female comedians nor the subject of women not being funny...if anything this documentary just proves the point they are trying to dispute. She even goes to the point when she says she did not do any research for this subject

Trying to prove women are funny by not being funny. The moment when she asks people "Do you know me?" is just sad...why does it matter? Maybe you are a shitty comedian and thats why nobody knows you? Oh yeah...and she asks Wanda Sykes, Sarah Silverman and Chelsea Peretti about not being funny? What do they know? They never were funny from start

Women can be funny, they are just not in this documentary.

When she dressed up as a man, expecting to kill on stage and make her point that it's easier being a man was so cringey.

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.

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.
