Least unfunny broad?

[JebJoh]

So sick of bitch comedians being shoved down our throats. As if the world isn’t lousy enough with all the shitty male comedians.

Which women would you listen to for laughs if forced to? I think it could be fun to throw Ms. Pat and Lisa Lampanelli together but only if they throw punches.

That Ellen degeneres fella is a god damn hoot.

Maria Bamford is pretty funny, but I couldn't really get into her Netflix show. I've heard Jo Firestone a few times on the Comedy Central station on Sirius which was kind of funny, but then she does things like having the audience name 25 different birds with zero humor involved. Idk, it's a tough one, and yes I know she's a J-O-O.

Really? I liked Lady Dynamite a lot even though it was a bit absurdist at times. Of course Netflix canceled it after 2 (maybe 3) seasons. She’s awesome at “acting” crazy. She’s great in Louie too.

I like Wanda in that show with Elaine, Curb, and Clerks 2. Funny that Dreyfus was the only one with another successful sitcom. Is Wanda any good at stand up? It’s funny that she makes Keith do her* laundry too.

I say this anytime she is mentioned here but I'm shocked they never had her on O&A she would have riffed well with Jim's characters.

I agree with Norm, women can act funny, but getting on a stage and performing is entirely different, and they just can't do it.

 

[Jesse Ventura]

Cloris Leachman and Bea Arthur were both pretty funny. Apparently Cloris had Gene Wilder cracking up on set of Young Frankenstein. Betty White as well. Even going back to the Mary Tyler Moore Show and Match Game in the 70s, Betty was quick with the zingers.

Oh, I’m sorry I thought you said most unfunny broad.

 

[Lamont & Tonelli]

As far as comedic acting:
Sarah Silverman is hilarious when someone else is writing for her.
Betty White is the best part of Lake Placid, that might have been the beginning of her post-GG cultural renaissance.
Jane Curtin was really funny in the OG SNL cast, I respect Gilda Radner a lot more than I laugh at her.
Other top picks have already been covered.

I'm gonna get car crashed but I actually thought Ellen DeGeneres stand up was pretty good. This is before her talk show
Punching out

 

[Salted Earth Truffle]

I’m surprised no one’s mentioned Paula Poundstone, considering this site’s interest in CSA offenders.

 

[GOD DAMN RICH CUNT]

Maria Bamford.

 

[johnnynoname]

that lady who play "Dee" on "IASIP"....that bitch funny

she's genuinely good at physical comedy, and isn't self concious about her body....

I have respect for people who can manage to be fairly funny and totally clean. Actually, Bill Cosby may have been the best in that genre

 

[guest]

Joan Rivers, Maria Bamford, Lisa Kudrow in The Comeback and that's about all I got.

Bamford definitely.

 

[guest]

lol I read it as "least unfunny board" and was like wtf are you babbling about

 

[TheGhostOfAbeVigoda]

Joan Rivers is the gold standard.

I've tried to like Maria Bamford's comedy and I can't.

The Cloris Leachmaniacs should be part of The Alliance. I fucked her on camera. There was a long full-penetration sex scene that was cut from Prancer for time.

 

[JonHeDoesIt]

My growing disdain for stand up makes it hard to judge the quality of her act, but I always thought Kathleen Madigan came across like someone fun to shoot the shit with over a beer.

Wendy Liebman had one of the funniest bits in The Aristocrats (for whatever that's worth)

While she was mostly just biting Lucille Ball's style, Fran Drescher is quite funny in The Nanny. Plus she gets bonus points for having an absolutely horrific back story that as fair I know she never leaned on to build public sympathy -- on the contrary she spent years trying to keep it quiet.

Here's one no wants to hear: Janeane Garofalo. I've never been much of fan of her stand up -- though I give her credit for grinding it in the clubs with a less-than-audience friendly style -- but she has an impressive TV/Film resume and is the rare breed of modern comedian with the integrity to say unpopular things and defend unpopular people. I consider her more of an "Honorable Mention" than an actual funny broad, though.

Tina Fey. 30 Rock was very funny.
