What The Dickens - Sue Perkins Does Pacino

[@SpazzyMcGee1337]

@Oceanmachine27 I'm thinking its because to be funny in a social situation one typically needs to dominate the conversation for at least a short period of time and needs to be confident, and control and confidence are typically seen as masculine traits. I always appreciate evolutionary reasoning though, so good job. I think Christopher Hitches did an piece on why (as he claims) women aren't funny. I haven't read the article though.

@SpazzyMcGee1337 Well, there's some talk about "humor" being an essentially masculine characteristic, designed to impress the ladies with your quick-witted brain and eye for the absurd, so I suppose you could make a case for that. (I don't necessarily believe it, myself, but I think it bears discussing).

Sue Perkins does Al Pacino? That sees somewhat unlikely.

[@SpazzyMcGee1337]

It seems like all the women I find funny are lesbians. Is there some connection between being funny and liking women?

[@celestialsalamander]

maybe chatting up women is a good way to practis being funny

[@karry299]

Yep, it's called being a man. Does anyone actualy considers Perkins or Toksvig women ? Surely not.

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

Not only are they both women, but Sue is not especially butch.
