i feel like every woman i know irl is funnier than most female comedians i’ve heard of
Yes, that's how I feel. Women can be funny, but for some reason it doesn't translate to the standup comedy scene. It's very perplexing.
I think women are great gossipers so they point you in the direction of a good joke or re-tell it....but it's rare for a female to make your stomach hurt off a original joke...Men do it all the time
Damn this is a lot of sexism did y’all miss the opening segment of this video
my comment was just about how weird it is that the female comedy industry has like no actually funny people when so many women are funny, but the replies are talking about women being “objectively unfunny” or some shit now??💀
@@Kiwanuu vincent kak on something icl 😭, he said its objectively true and then stated his own experiences with women
lilly singh: Im not just a bisexual woman of color
also lilly singh: *only tells jokes about being a bisexual woman of color*
There's a shit-TON of people who are bisexual women of colo(u)r and they don't make that their entire personality, like ms. singh, it ain't that hard-
@@tvisha.mishra But if she didn't tell those joke her fellow bisexual women of color would feel under-represented. You can't win.
oh i didnt actually know she was bi! it makes sense though, that’s kinda dope
@@tvisha.mishra fuck off there is no u in color how dare you
@@SamanthaLain that was for ppl reading that aren't from US brO lol
amy schumer: "hey guys, so um...sex?"
**roaring applause**
"...poop and pee and stuff?"
**crowd goes wild**
This reads like the ironic summaries of Big Bang Theory 10 - 15 years back
20 years ago, she was legit funny.
This is exactly why Taylor Tomlinson is funny to me. She has a wide repertoire of jokes: yes there are some sex jokes, but also mental health, upbringing, struggle with her religion, growing up etc
She's definitely going to be a super famous comedian in the next few years. Absolutely goated
Came here to say this. What an incredible comedian, and for sure my favorite
And Iliza:3
I love her
jessica kirston is also really funny!
Isn't delivery really THE most important thing in comedy? I mean it's so painfully obvious that Amy does not have it right, she's stumbling the whole time.
I think it's 50% delivery and 50% the joke
The key to comedy is ti
Ming
She sounds drunk
Amy just sounds like she’s on a hangover
Delivery, timing - how the jokes are structured - what syllable you put the emphasis on it's an art form. Amy Schumer is a joke stealing hack who doesn't even know how to tell a joke
I don't understand why they chose Lily Singh to be a late night host. She's literally a children's entertainer. She makes jokes for kids and her subscribers subscribed while going through puberty. Her comedy is just about how parents suck and embarrassing yourself in front of your school crush.
Did they like not look into her at all? I just don't understand. Like it makes sense why she'd accept. It's a win for her no matter what but for them?
@Wynn Wynn then who’s supposed to make content only for kids?
Kind of answered your own question lol
Lily Sighn was doomed because of the schedule she was given for her show. I watched her vlogs and she looked so burnt out due to the crazy schedule. In spite of that she kept a smile and went through it bravely. She even admitted in a vlog when reflecting on season 1 the things that didn’t work. Season 2 felt like the right format and suited her better. It was really poor negotiation and over cautiousness that lead to the shows downfall.
Yeah this video just picks the worst. Sarah millican has been an icon of comedy in the UK for ages. Going to see her in a couple months. Ali Wong and Taylor tomlinson are brilliant. There are plenty out there.
i'm pretty sure they were literally just going "we need more diversity and lilly is already famous" because she does not have the skills to be a late night host
I feel like a lingering stigma of having to be "one of the boys" stuck around in women's stand-up way longer than it should have.
i went to a local bar a while back tht hosted a night of stand up comedy, & there was this 20ish yr old girl who was soo funny, timing & delivery was great, she even made the jokes tie in together at the end, she was a natural ! she even did some quick-wit improv when the mic audio messed up, u can just tell shes so effortlessly funny irl. but i noticed her comedy wasn't vulgar, it was more like wholesome & relatable jokes abt random situations. it didn't revolve around being a woman or sex or race stuff. just good ol clean humor and i loved it.
thats awsome
@blackspiderwebs: Her name?
Sounds like stuff the whole audience could relate to, too - I'm not a fan of comedians who spend their whole time alienating parts of their audience.
Nah impossible she probably stole jokes from a man
@@Lockfly Take that elsewhere. Women can think for themselves.
So Lilly gets upset the media keeps referring to her as a bisexual woman of color, but then she consistently talks about being a bisexual woman of color on her own show
💀 her logic is so backwards
@@iLikeCok getting upset at the media is about creating more publicity (story about her being annoyed is the second publicity peice after the original media story. buy one get one free), shes not really upset shes just creating media dialogue to make it into more of a story for free advertsing. loads of people do this
To be fair, she probably doesn't write her jokes
I think it's more of a, "I'm more than that," Type of thing. Not saying I agree w her just what the logic seemed to be there.
What's a bisexual woman?
I always point to Kim Possible when people ask for examples of “girl power” that aren’t forced. She isn’t written as a man so she can be capable and powerful, she’s written as a girl who is capable. She’s pretty stereotypically feminine but has all sorts of hobbies and proficiencies. She loves shopping and sales and cheerleading and boys and has a plushie collection that she’s embarrassed of. She also loves crime-fighting and martial arts and gadgets and combat and problem-solving and extreme sports. She can be catty with Bonnie and girly with Monique and pal around with Ron. None of it is painted as “yuck, girls” or is NLOG-coded. There was another badass woman in Shego, also feminine without being one-note with long hair and nails and violence and anger and destruction and smarminess and allowing Draken to do all the planning because she’s bored with all that. The fact that Ron seemed so useless and unnecessary but was always invited along because he did end up being helpful while Kim was always capable was a really big change, but he was so goofy and weird and unapologetically himself that no one was upset with his character.
Everyone I knew, regardless of gender, loved Kim Possible, because she wasn’t written to fill a quota. She was a super spy that happened to be a girl, and we all loved that.
Definitely some truth, and it's why I feel like there's this unnecessary knee-jerk reaction against people who criticize lazily written female characters, but then there is also an unnecessary knee-jerk against female leads because there have been so many poorly written ones, and it feels like we all need to converge and meet on the "let's make actually good female main characters" line I think we all actually support.
@@BeefIngotthey're haven't been right
Also Buffy the vampire slayer!!!
A girl being capable seems cool, even cooler if she's called kim POSSIBLE jdasjdjajsdjadajdjasd
Power puff girls should be another example
In general, when a comedian picks one thing and only talks about that. It gets old very fast.
When your whole act/identity is “my wife”, “I’m Asian”, “I’m Latino”, “I’m woman”, “sex funny haha”.
This is why I unironically prefer straight white male comedy.
My old job had a female comedian. She opened for a local event. Her bring down the house final joke was blowing weed in her newborn baby's face. I'm glad I don't work there anymore.
Like, talking about it or actually having her child there at the show to blow smoke at?
Jail.
@@niceguy191pretty sure they mean just like joking about it since comedians are mostly just talk, i mean i hope so anyway
@@messywalk believe it or not, straight to jail.
The thing I hate the most in comedy is a comedian that just SHOUTS the whole time, I can HEAR YOU. Whitney Cummings being a prime example.
I second this ☝️ a good comedian should have other ways to emphasize what they want rather than screaming
This is why I love Tig Notaro. She’s so deadpan and quiet and takes forever to get to a punchline but you’re there laughing all the way
Right, like there's a mic for a reason you don't need to shout at us
but i do like her alot
I agree but I think some people can pull it off well and it suits them. Bill Burr comes to mind. One of my all time faves but everytime I watch him I gotta watch my volume or I’ll bust an eardrum lol
I really enjoy Taylor Tomlinson because all of her bits aren’t just “the joke is I’m a female comedian”. She has plenty of jokes that appeal to shared experiences women have but it’s not used as a crutch
I also love her delivery of jokes. Especially those about mental problems. When I found out I was bipolar, her jokes about it just hit different
Iliza (schlisinger?) is also hilarious
Was gonna comment about it, I love her! Adrienne Fish and Fortune Feimster has some clips I’ve seen too stuff too!
I love how she casually drops the most brilliant freaking observations.
omg yes i love her
I feel like those female comedians try to be "one of the guys" to be accepted in a male comedians jerk circle
watching this in 2024 and the “Amy not a bad person” comment aged like milk ahahaha
So did Lily Singh thanking Mindy Kaling
Your reason for Mulan feeling more genuine than Captain Marvel is spot on. Mulan wasn't powerful because she was just as "manly" or as much of a fighter as men. She was powerful because she specifically used her own skill set. She relied on cleverness and strategy rather than raw strength. Things like disarming Shan Yu with a fan, a symbol of femininity, and then using his own sword against him is great because she's not just out-strengthing him. Mulan climbing the column in training was possible because, despite not being as strong as the other soldiers, she was just as if not more capable using traits that aren't stereotypically masculine. Captain Marvel devolved into "I can punch holes in your ship" which, while really fun to watch, doesn't really have any nuance to it.
I haven't watched Mulan in months. I was thinking about the fan disarming this morning, just because it was so special to watch.
Ya it’s fine to not have nuance in superhero action movies, sometimes you just want to watch someone throw cars and fly and smash people across a town. But if you’re going to try and make a nuanced movie in that genre, what you definitely can’t do is take Superman and cast a women instead. That’s not nuanced. That’s Superman but cast with a women and a slightly different story.
I feel like this is the problem though. We shove femininity into these little boxes. What rule says that women can’t be strong enough to punch holes in ships? where does it state that women can’t be bullheaded, stubborn, or aggressive, in ways that are traditionally seen as masculine?
@@SamBuckyForever a majority of "strong" female representation IS women being traditionally masculine. thats the problem. why do women have to be masculine to be seen as strong? why are traditionally feminine things not seen as strong? Pretty much every strong female character in mainstream media has some sort of societally masculine trait, whether physical or personality.
@@cait3196 y’all stay saying this when
This feminine archetype is all the media is made up of. Where are these masculine women yall speak of? Lmao
if chad chad had a netflix special, the world would be changed for the better tbh lol
Gabi bell and Chad Chad fans unite!
I'm really bad about rewatching things I just can't do it without it feeling off, but youtubers like Gabby and Chad Chad I can rewatch and laugh at and not feel weird about! The only full fledged comedian I can do that with is Randy Feltface 😔😔 All in all Netflix should find better rewatchable comedians (I'm exhausted so this comment might be all over the place I apologize)
@@Sadie-rai psychopath
yes.
Haha
I do have to say this seems to be an AMERICAN woman comedian trend, I enjoy British lady comedians 👍🏼
i love Catherine tate!
A lot of them have two jokes, 1. Sex haha, 2. I'm a woman haha.
There are some really good ones though, for example Taylor Tomlinson, love her.
I know she’s not a comedian but an actress but whatever. Diane Morgan’s performance as Philomena Cunk is freaking genius and the reason the jokes on both shows hit so well.
Omg yessss. I love that show and have genuinely laughed out loud so many times watching that.
i remember her doing the character way back on charlie brooker's show and i was so pleased to see she had a whole show to herself now
She is funny as fuck! They say women like funny men but it goes both ways, men love funny women too but women often are too afraid of embarrassment to attempt to be funny. It’s the same reason attractive men are terrible comedians. A beautiful woman who is confident and funny has the entire world in her hands.
She just popped up in my feed. I have to be in the mood for her (I'm easily embarrassed) but she's very clever.
Best female representation in media since the 1989 #1 hit from Belgium, "Pump Up the Jam" by Technotronic.
I would love to hear exactly *how* being a bisexual woman of colour impacts Lilly’s perspective…instead of just hearing she’s a bisexual woman of colour over and over.
this!!
right??? you can tell so many stories with so many experiences!! easy ways to make comedy out of ridiculous things people have said/done to you etc
But how is anyone supposed to figure out that she's a bisexual woman of color if they don't mention it constantly? After all, audience members are drooling imbeciles with the mental capacity of a cockroach and an attention span of about 10.734629185 seconds!

Timing is everything. EVERYTHING!!
Honestly I think you touched on the main reason why female comedy is seen as so much weaker, variety. Not just in jokes or comedic style but even the amount of female comedians. There's a lot of male comedians, so many that bad ones can easily be overshadowed and forgotten. But the female sphere is smaller, bad comedians stand out more and the whole sphere is sadly dominated by Amy Schumer types that make headlines.
And the bad female comedians still get a platform as the big money sees it as woke activism instead of looking for the hilarious female comedians which there are many it’s just they aren’t as main stream and well known
The females sphere promote their worst.
@@hamoiq908 "the big money" really?

When I clicked this video, I was thinking that. I can definitely name some terrible specials by men but also so many that are better. One day the ratio will be better on the women's end.
Someone phrased it perfectly for me saying that the studios just transferred toxic masculinity onto most female leads and called it "feminism", leaving all the interesting, vulnerable, and emotional parts for the men.
Sooo... toxic femininity?
@@jjdelft3216 Kinda? I think toxic femininity is what Regina George does.
Yep
That's exactly how I feel about Captain Marvel tbh. Like, "tough" and "determined" cannot be a character's ONLY personality traits! People prefer the male characters because they're often fully developed, as opposed to just being 'strong.'
@@isfpoisson First, the character itself, is dumb. Similarly to Superman, the character just does too much and for that reason, it’s boring. - it’s like playing a video game with all the cheat codes on.
It could also have something to do with the fact that the character is also played by someone with an incredible lack of personality that anyone would be interested in - essentially the character she plays (just without the powers - so even less interesting). The one shining spot that stands out is her arrogance and it’s not done in a fun/humorous way - most of her co-stars have shown they don’t even like her. That’s not a “we’re against women thing either. They do great with other women, just very evidently don’t enjoy working w her.
Thank you for making videos on a huge range of topics
This is 100% the truth: I'm a 44 year old man and I don't think I've ever laughed at a woman "comedian." And yet, your content and sense of humor make me laugh consistently.
And just for complete transparency, the same is true for most male comedians, too. So I consider it a rare talent when someone legit makes me laugh.
In other words, you got moxy, kid! Or something like that.
I think feminism means something different in USA than Europe, as in Europe it only means fighting abuse and subjugation of women. Such as women didn't have as many rights and were less represented in their own country. It wasn't until recently women had the right to not be raped by her husband. In USA it seems to be an insult by men who hate women, who spend their time searching out examples of idiots who talk nonsense to say all women who fight against abuse are like that. Funny how they spend too much time online whinging against women, filling comment sections no matter what the subject as an excuse to whine on against feminists and saying what women should want, but no woman finds an abusive misogynist who feels threatened by women who have rights against them to be a turn on.
I also think men and women dislike each other more in the USA than Europe, as USA women tell men they're disgusting if not cir'cised and some men who had that done develop issues, such as less sensitivity, which they spend a lot of time online trying to take out on women. Like the USA man who was banned from entering Europe for making web pages promoting men rpe and abuse women when travelling.
Although I also acknowledge men from many places who have had injunctions taken out on them by women offline, then use the internet to carry on being abusive.
I laugh more at people who aren't comedians, but comedians can still be very funny
It's just so much easier to get people irl to make you laugh instead of comedians nowadays
So many people here haven't even watched that many female comedians. Just like with dudes, you have to be willing to sift through a lot of comedy to find the gems and not just watch whoever is popular at the time. My fav old broad is Kathleen Madigan, you should try her if you've never laughed at a woman "comedian" - also nice job putting that in quotes, not cringe at all
Taylor Tomlinson is a great example of an actually funny woman comedian. She makes lots of jokes abt being a woman, she makes vulgar jokes, she jokes abt growing up Catholic, but she has a delivery that really showcases her personality. It’s not a copy paste of other comedians, it’s not taking what male comedians do but girlbossing it. It’s just her
Edit: just got to the part where you mention her
Delivery and timing and things like that are a HUGE factor. Im 100% sure there are women who can make pretty much the same jokes aa Amy but do it in a way thats hilarious.... not trying to hate on her or something its just: stand up comedy is definitely not for everyone.
@@idhunepijl1404 Yeah, like that first joke that made Gabi laugh is actually kinda good in terms of its content, but oh my god, Amy’s delivery is just horrible and devoid of personality
Yes! Taylor is just a great joke writer. Another great comic who also happens to be female is Rosebud Baker. I'm just starting to watch this so I'm not sure if anyone else gets mentioned lol
Taylor has amazing timing but also just has non vulgar relatabable comedy with mental health issues but just explains it in a great way.
@@idhunepijl1404 There are women who can make the same jokes funny. Just look at the original comedians whom Amy stole or inspired from.
Her delivery and timing is the biggest problems but her attitude towards criticisms and crying 'oppression' and misogyny everytime people don't kiss her arse don't help either.
Lilly Singh literally tokenized herself lmao. In her meetings with NBC she probably literally said "look how many boxes ill check off for yall"
I like how people act like it's their fault... On one hand your career goes nowhere but you're respectable and funny to all 7 of your regulars.
On the other, a million dollars but you have to use jokes approved by David the Bigot.
Everyone pretends they're the first kind until they're $40,000 into a shopping spree and realize they just blew their retirement.
@@RobinTheBot But this makes no sense, if her comedy was bigot she would have gotten canceled, not praised.
@@RobinTheBot she’s already made a ton of money with her UA-cam, book, tours, etc. so I don’t think she was doing this bc she was blowing money and needed more.
@@RobinTheBotshe had a pretty successful and huge UA-cam channel before she got into comedy tho it wasn’t her and her 7 followers it was her and her massive following that she had for nearly a decade before she even turned to regular television.She was already earning her tonnes of revenue before she even rlly turned to comedy television.

2:28 my dad had a severe stroke causing him paralysis down the left-hand side of his body. We'd go to comedy shows and he always sat at the front and instead of clapping he'd bang the table. Comedians would point that out and try joke back. He'd find it funny when stand ups started stumbling and drawing blanks when they heard about his stroke but he would love it more when Comedians didnt give him a free pass because of it and actually say something funny. Met a lot of cool Comedians this way. Some would thank my dad for having a sense of humour but he'd always say "no thank you for treating me like you do everyone else and seeing me as a person and not a wheelchair"
your dad sounds cool

For anyone looking for female comedians, Taylor Tomlinson might be one of my favorite comedians ever. She still needs to work on her improv, and thankfully compensates with really good crowdwork. But whenever she writes a long stand up... It's insane how many great jokes she can fit in a couple minutes. So that's my recomendation for today thank you for coming to my ted talk see ya
One of the reasons I think Taylor's long stand up works so well is because she tells stories, and paints the picture and carries you through that situation, often in a relatable but new way
Oh my god finally someone says it. I love Taylor Tomlinson. If you like her you will LOVE Ilisa Schlesinger!
Saw her live her crowd work was great! Really deserves more attention
100%. I would also recommend Hannah Berner and Yvonne Orji (and Jessica Kirson, if you're into dark humor comedians who like to play rough).
Yeah she’s good
I worked at Warner Bros when they were pushing Amy Schumer - It was well-known that she had bad writers at the time and didn't want to be so promoted so much. She was in such a mainstream spotlight that the studio wouldn't let her write her own stuff. But no clue if it would have been better if she had. I am not vouching for her but I find it interesting that we all knew she was not gonna be liked and she was like damn this is gonna suck for me
'Montage' not 'Compilation' you're the best!
this is why i love comedians like Kurtis Conner, and youtubers like Chad chad, like they're genuinely funny without having to be vulgar or repeat old jokes over and over again
Yes yes
Kurtis is my favorite woman comedian
I don't think they qualify as comedians strictly.

I am not a comedian, nor do I know enough about comedy to be able to critique it. But what I think I remember hearing from comedians themselves is that their material comes from their own experiences--that, in other words, they're able to find the humor in their own lives and pick out what's universally relatable in the human condition. Of course, if it's not as "universal" as they thought... it might not strike people as funny.
Two thoughts occur to me: one is that comedians feel they have to come up with a predicable schtick in order to market themselves in a crowded field. "Who's XYZ?" "Oh, she's the one that..." Another is meeting audience expectations: "I spent money on these tickets and I want to hear comedy about XYZ. Don't give me anything else." People are not always rewarded for being artistically adventurous. I imagine that comedians first and foremost want to make a living, so maybe they're just giving the people what they want?
But of course, with that approach, you run the risk of cultivating a barrage of cliches, delivered in heavy-handed fashion, and turning the human being on the stage into a one-dimensional cardboard cutout. It can be tiresome, rather than humorous. I think it's better to stand out for what you do rather than who you are.
By the way, concerning Captain Marvel, I think the word you were going for was "montage." 😊
I remember something Björk said, something along the lines of 'I want to be an artist, a writer, a singer, someone who is funny, and then lastly a woman' basically I'd like to live in a world where being a woman is low down on the list and to be recognised for other things before I'm recognised as being a woman and that's how I'd like women comedians to be too.
She really seems pretty fucking cool as a person. She’s feminine but she writes about human experience, even my dad loves some of her albums. Even has a song called “human emotion”.
And that’s not to say that every woman needs to be feminine, it’s just cool to see someone who doesn’t rely on femininity and also doesn’t reject femininity. Very relatable for many women.
@@Oceanww great points
THIS! 👆100%!!!
That's why I don't like that much the "women in gaming" "women in stem" etc. Yes, I am an engineer. Yes I also happen to be a woman. Get over it. Like, on the one hand I am glad my actions help other women pursue what they want, but also I'm only doing it because I want to, not as any sort of message.
I think it’s unfair to blame Amy Schumer for ruining women’s comedy. I don’t like Amy Schumer, I don’t think she’s funny. But male comedians can be unfunny and just be ‘bad comedians’. Amy Schumer is unfunny and she’s ‘letting down women everywhere’. It’s unfair to place this burden on her just because she’s a woman. Instead we should look at and blame the system that made her the figurehead of female comedy
Yes to this!!!
There is jimmy kimmel...
Very true. Also, Amy Shummer used to be hilarious. Not every comedian has the longevity that all the GOATS have. It’s very rare infact.
THISS
Steven Crowder identifies as a comedian.
Let that sink in for a while
Did you ever make a follow up video on ur Captain Marvel feelings? I was literally clapping at my TV when editing gabi came on the screen lol
Ali Wong is literally basketballing with pregnancy for more than half of her stand-up specials, and she never once made me cringe at being a woman, or any Asian bits. She's also a surprisingly good actress.
I feel like when women joke about being women in a depricating way, it opens the door for men to dogpile and be like: "see! she's a woman and agrees with me!" Amongst other things
But the facts are people don't find most women funny. Most women find other women funny but for the majority, people aren't laughing at most female jokes
@@hinamatsuro1908 Yeah sure, but I wasn't talking about the comedic level
@@hinamatsuro1908 what is leading you to make that generalization? Is there some type of statistic you’re referencing or are you just… being misogynistic

You know what I don't understand, Lilly Singh made a point that almost sounded like she was complaining about the media only representing her as a bisexual woman of colour, but then proceeded to make every single one of her one liner jokes about that while somehow also copying the format set out by David Letterman and other straight white male hosts. I can definitely see how this was a massive swing and a miss even though I'm not a bisexual woman of colour
Ya both the first clip that was showed and the announcement music video thing both are saying I’m not just a bi woman of colour and I’m gonna do things different than the white men and then proceeds to make every joke about being a bi woman of colour and do nothing else different than the white male hosts. In other words walked right into the point and still missed it
it seems like her writing team screwed her over with that (if you take her word for it)
Anthony Padilla's video with her talks about it
She did Not. Her complaints were absolutely correct. She still did jokes about it because its part of who she is but she was reduced to that. She had other comedy too. People refused to see that for reasons only you know since you refused to see.
@@MZBS639 This is how she sold herself. If somebody watched this preview and didn't find it funny, they are under zero obligation to watch the show and hope it somehow becomes more to their taste.

I have seen some breakdowns of Amy and some have said that her comedy is bad because it has not evolved. She started with raunchy and crude humor when she was on Last Comic Standing. And as she continued in the comedy scene, her comedy remained nearly the same. It's not easy to evolve as a comedian/entertainer but I think it becomes their staying power. Like, as they grow as a person their comedy changes.
A few hacks like Jeff Foxworthy got a lot of money and attention based on running the same joke over and over again, but even they usually fizzle out. Longstanding comedy changes with the times. You eventually have to sit down and write some new material.
bo burnham is a great example of a comedian whose comedy has stayed funny and relatable for years without being the same joke over and over. Inside was so so good, especially because he was making fun of his older stuff. he changed up his jokes while keeping his sense of humor intact, which can be hard to do
so you’re saying that amy schumer didn’t grow as a person? i mean… can’t argue with that
It's hard to evolve as a comedian when your humor is stolen from actually funny people.
I think the biggest issue I see with her on every criticism she gets is that she copies verbatim from other comedians. Now I don't think there's anything wrong with a small "yoink and twist", you know occasionally taking a good joke and putting your own twist on it can be okay sometimes. The issue is when you line-for-line copy the entire joke from somebody else and just say it with worse delivery.
I share with you every thought you said
I just hope this is the first top layer in that weird latte and all these characters got to go deeper and deeper and we will see actual people behind “not srandard” labels
And in the movies we would have no more “im cool cause imma woman” “patriarchy makes us weak” and blabla
I’m cool because I am cool
If labels really don’t matter stop focusing on them!
Can’t wait for next big steps in that way
“We need a Montage” from Team America is in my head now.
LMFAO YES 😂😂😂
The fact the Lily Singh said “ I was born in the hood” but who remembers how nice her parents house was when she would show it in her videos.
I don't know the context but maybe as she has gained a lot of money, she had the change to buy a house for her parents to move out of the hood but idk
I really don't think that Canada has something akin to "the hood" like the US. In the US, the housing projects that are now referred to as "hood" were specifically designed to segregate the, mostly, black population from the, mostly, white, suburban population. I can't imagine that being applicable to Canada.
@@raptorjesus6120 Toronto does, I can't speak for the other places in Canada since I've only been to Toronto.

She's trying to check all the woke boxes, like she worked her way from the bottom to get where she is. When in reality, they were looking for any brown woman and she just happened to be one...
I think the thing with Amy that gets me is like….. she is ALWAYS drunk or high, and it comes off as being kind of sad. She clearly has struggled with drinking and drugs, and when she joked about it it was always very Sad Cringe. I think the reason her delivery is so weird is bc it feels like listening to your intoxicated friend that never takes advice joke about their life that is spiraling out of control
THIS!
THIS though. perfectly sums up how i feel when i watch her! i never was able to pinpoint it and seeing it described in so many words - you hit the nail on the head 💯💯💯
i was gonna say she seems super wasted in that video and it's honestly sad to watch
Being drunk is not good for the stage, but being high usually enhances a performance.
I so agree. All of her stand up sounds like she is high. It was never funny. It doesn't fit her overall appearance and vibe. There are some girls who can pull that off, but amy Schumer isn't one of those women. You need to be cool to pull that off, and i think amy thinks she's cool. But she really isn't.
As a fan of comedy (I literally listen to comedy to go to sleep.) I’ve always enjoyed your content, and I thought you were really funny! Also the slaps ( coincidentally I’m also (Producer) that works for a record label full-time)
Comedy music tends to have a lot of similarities, but the most important thing that we have to understand is both are completely subjective
The brown M&M joke failed cuz she effectively explained the joke with those next couple lines
I also think pausing between each name for the audience to applaud killed the momentum that might have made it work
I'm thinking about how that joke was presented and then how a similar joke would have been presented by, I dunno, like, John Oliver or someone. Would have fucking crushed it.
It doesn't work because when your only joke is "brown women" the 100th joke about brown women isn't funny. The reason why a joke about black people works for Donald Glover or Eddie Murphy works is because they have OTHER things to talk about
You hit the nail on the head. The relentless focus of being a woman, a minority, and sex are the majority of clips I see from women. My favorite comedians are 50% comedians and 50% philosophers - they study the human condition and make funny but smart observations.
This, and people who use comedy to educate and shed light on other aspects of the human condition, like politics, disabilities, human rights, or social events or movements. Not in a click-bait way or riding off of what’s trending, but to actually comment and expose aspects of modern day that we otherwise don’t get a chance to really look at.
If I don’t make sense, it’s because I’m sleep-deprived and I’m sorry 😂😢
Have you seen Jacqueline Novak's Get on your knees? It's a 90 minute one-woman-show mostly deconstructing blowjobs, but it's very intelligent, fast-paced and funny. In my opinion it has it's flaws certainly, but definitely worth checking out.
absolutely ❤@@mariecarie1
All while screeching inaudibly *STOP MAKING IT ALL ABOUT MY SEX LIFE/RACE/WOMANHOOD DAMMIT*
Schumer’s not funny, full stop. She is the epitome of a nepo baby- she got several hands up because of who she’s related to.
Singh is just a perpetual victim. She wants things because she thinks she’s worked for them and deserves them.
Margaret is moderately funny- she’s not bad but she’s no one I’d go out of my way to watch if a new special drops.
Whitney has one of the most unironically hilarious podcast moments- talking to Howie Mandel, she throws herself the biggest pity party and is ONLY a thing because Rogan loves her and insists on hyping her. God help us when she’s with Burt Kreischer.
Gadsby is just so cringe. There’s not a thing about her that doesn’t give me secondhand embarrassment and cringe every single time she remotely tries to be funny.
There’s very few women I find hilarious- my favorite is Kathleen Madigan. Absolutely hilarious and never not funny. But you better be hilarious if you expect me to listen/watch. Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais, Eddie Murphy, Kathleen Madigan, Louis CK, and Matteo Lane.
@@mariecarie1It's the social equivalent of dark humor. Seeing the fallacies and everyday struggles of being a human, and then being able to laugh at it. Being able to acknowledge things while still making people laugh is an art. Emergencies responders have some of the best humor and it's a coping mechanism. I personally suspect that like other forms of art, comedians cope with life by laughing at it and helping others do the same
You need your own late night show and Netflix special, seriously. This was such a great video and you're so freaking funny.
I've been getting a lot of shorts of Taylor Tomlinson and she is hilarious, a lot of relatable mental health humour, and her delivery is great.
Also, I found YOU through an interesting video title, but I stayed because you made me laugh a lot with the memes, always on point.
My favorite female stand up comedian is definitely Taylor Tomlinson. She talks about being a women and sex but she talks about her life too and who she is as a person not her whole identity being around her being a woman.
She’s also one of my favorites! Searched the comment section to find someone mentioning her!
She’s a perfect example!!
She is definitely one of my favourites if not the best. She makes me laugh my ass off whatever she jokes about. Her delivery is engaging, her timing, face expressions, voice imitations are all so well done. Most of the time I am already smirking before the punchline
YES
yup same shes one of the relatively few female comedians ive seen from the algorithm thats really funny to me, shes one of my favorite comedians tho
Personally I love Taylor Tomlinson. Her delivery is always on point and her body language and expressions are killer
Omg right?? She's greatly talented and definitely my favorite
same!!!!!
I feel like she's one of the only women in comedy that even misogynistic men tend to agree is really talented and funny. She's just good at what she does imo
The way she described how guys feel love was the most relatable shit. Like when she says I want to lick her heart, goddamn that's what I felt.
Shes a real stand up. You can hear, see and feel the experience behind her material.
Lots of female stand up is just “clap humour”. They call out things that do need to be called out, but people go to comedy shows to laugh, not to think.
I think that something REALLY important to remember about comedy is that like being allowed to joke about anything other than whatever your token thing was like JUST became a thing. So judging comedy from even like a few years ago isn’t exactly fair.

The Ghibli movie bit is a great point. One of my favorite moments in any movie ever is Chihiro sobbing. Not because she's a girl but because she's a child who just got a chance to decompress after her whole life got flipped upside down. She maintained for as long as she had to and got to eat and relax for just that moment and she absolutely breaks down. It's not because she's a girl. Anyone would have that reaction. It's genuinely an amazing and simple scene in a movie filled with madness.
To that point, no one had to tell Nausicaa she was cool, she proved it. No one had to say Sofie was strong, she proved it. No one said Mononoke was badass, she proved it. A good character is just that, a good character.
I always cry at that scene
Umi Matsuzaki in From up on Poppy Hill is one of my all-time favourite film characters!
@@SomaKitsune I love from up on poppy hill even though it's one of the less popular ghibli movies
This comment made me think about the Resident Evil 3 Remake. Carlos keeps telling Jill how smart and how good she is to her face, almost like she was some kind of special needs child in need of validation.
I felt embarassed for her. Of course it wasn't like that in the original.
Did not expect to be diagnosed within the first minute of this video but thank you for solving that mystery 😂
A lot of the suggestions at the end were heavily mainstream/corporate and those types of comedians typically suffer from a lot of the critiques that fall upon Schumer/Cummings type comics. Some other names that people should check out: Annie Lederman, Kim Congdon, Esther Povitsky, Jetski Johnson, Andrea Jin, Rachel Sennott
I love that you brought up Mulan, because I completely agree. The animated version never felt like they were trying to force feminism down our throats. It was just a movie telling a story. Whereas your other example, Captain Marvel, and even the live action Mulan, they aren't just telling a story, they're trying to prove something to us. It is hard to fully explain the difference though, but there absolutely is one.
i feel like the women in these big movies always end up beign mary sues (or close to it)
@@MelissaBezerra Well, obviously. It’s the easiest way to represent all women in the laziest way possible. Gives writers a break from actually having to do their job.
Haven't seen the live action Mulan but I do agree about the animated Mulan. Because in the animated Mulan, she fought in the war so that her old father wouldn't. She just fought for her country and went back home.
You just did 💜🤘

Amy Schumer doesn't just give women comedians a bad name, she gives comedians, women, humans a bad name.
And also her fellow quadropedal animals.
Unfunny + Terrible personality + Terrible human + Genocide Endorser
I think the most problematic aspect of Amy Schumer’s performances is that she perpetuates the stereotype that beached whales can’t be funny.
She’s also just a bad person
She’s only there because Jewish and Uncle Chuck.
...i always expected to pay for myself :D . Keep making great vidoes ty
Watching this in 2024 and Gabi saying "Amy Schumer isn't like a bad person...probably".... Well that aged badly.
It was inevitable that someone would mention this.
Yup...
I feel like the problem is not that female comedians only rely on being vulgar.. It's that the vulgar comedians are the only female comedians that rise to popularity. That should be the conversation.
I know it’s late but trans Weezer goes hard
Definitely. I've seen quite a few female comedians who are actually funny on my UA-cam shorts that don't have much popularity.
@@jaydee4861 LMAO thank u hahaa
@@ArianeM-gk2vp Exactly, theres plenty. Tbh nowdays there are so many comedians its hard for anyone to get popular. But in the past there havent been any very famous female comedians either. Most definitely bc of sexism in the industry and in society in general, on top of women having less opportunity to get into entertainment industries.. Not because women are not funny / obly rely on vulgar humor.
Luckily it seems to be getting better but misogony still runs rampant
Yeah that is true
“I feel like that could’ve been funny. And it wasn’t, and I don’t know why” is like the perfect description of Lilly Singh’s entire existence. It’s one thing to not be funny, but it’s another thing to be unfunny when you really could’ve been if you were someone else. That makes it extra sad
it could’ve been funny cause tv shows have writers. the potential comes from them
That’s because it’s more than about what you say.
Timing, inflection, tone, mannerisms all play a role in making something funny.
You can say something that SHOULD be funny all day long but if it is mistimed or in the wrong tone it becomes rude or insensitive or whatever, but not funny.
100k to 800k in a year and a half is pretty impressive lol, congrats
0:59 1:01 Wait. WHAT.
Dude, I've been suffering with this since I was like 10 and had no idea this was a thing.
I was listening to a podcast with Bo Burnham way back where he talks about how the stand up community is difficult for certain female comics and doesn’t reward certain types of comedy, it reduces the types of styles female comedians that get popular. There are some great American women comics whose style is more unusual but they are still sort of niche.
I really like Maria Bamford, and I think she's the exception to the rule when it comes to her style of comedy.
What was the podcast called
Like Tig Notaro and Maria Bamford. Even Chelsea Peretti.
The first two are utterly incredible stand ups
@@cablehogue599 It was in an interview from years ago, I think his interview with Pete Holmes? His "You Made It Weird" podcast.
@@SMATF5 I love her and I believe he specifically mentioned how much he loved her as well! An exception that proved the rule.
ive complained about this recently about gay films and films about disabilities, where people in them dont just HAPPEN to be queer or have a disability, but that the whole film is CENTERED on that and it makes it too forced
Yeah this is the prevailing issue, and I think it's that way because the industry is still focused on trying to let people know they're being inclusive, so they end up forcing their minority cast way too hard. It's the same with movies about women who don't fit into conventional beauty standards, with Tammy being like the only movie about a plus sized woman that doesn't constantly mention it I can think of.
It’s gotta be done right, when it’s just about identity then poorly written. I also feel like that if a a character is written and they do just happen to be, for example, gay then people still hate on it for being about identity because it’s a different experience. A gay person will have other experiences so it’s not never gonna come up. I feel a lot of it comes from bigotry but I’m the flip side so many attempts of inclusion are so poor because companies don’t care they’re just want that dollar dollar
This. But this isn’t just queer or disabilites, but also sex, race or so many other factors.
Never force a character to be something, let them be what makes sense.
I do agree. I think it's definitely OK to have some films centered around common difficulties of being queer, disabled, or just generally marginalized, and being able to overcome. 1 to give hope to people like the main character, and 2 to share the difficulties that are faced with people that don't face them.
That being said, I think it's equally, if not more important, to have diversity presented and not necessarily even mentioned. Idk why but the first example that came to mind is Nigel in The Devil Wears Prada. I can't remember if he is expressly said to be queer, but it's atleast implied. He is a major character, but really the only scene that loosely touches on his queerness is when he lectures Andy on the power fashion has and he shares his experiences growing up hiding fashion magazines.
As some with multiple disorders and a minor disability I always say "there's a difference between using your disorder and an excuse vs an explanation". I think the underlying theme cam be used here, there's a different between and disabled character and a character who happens to be disabled. One has the main focus on the disability while the other the disability is just a character triat. Same for LGBT+ and BIPOC representation at times.
The sad thing is since there are more male comedians when there’s a bad one we overlook it, but because there are much fewer female comedians when a really bad one like Amy Schumer gets famous, it gets a ton more recognition for how bad that comic is.
There's some great female standup in the UK if you're looking for some more funnies. Sarah Millican, Miranda Hart, Katherine Parkinson, Sandi Toksvig, Katherine Ryan, and lots more coming up in the open mic scene.
I think the big reason it's such a large trend in the industry is that so many stand-up comedians that are women feel pressured to take on the "not like other girls" persona to try to make it in the male-dominated industry. So they embrace things like vulgarity and self-tokenization to make it to the top, because it works, but then it bites them in the ass once they're in a spotlighted position because people see through it immediately. i find this fascinating
I think that comes into play in a different way with Lilly Singh
My thing about Lilly is she relies on the whole “I shouldn’t be here” thing. She does the whole second person: “you’re probably thinking” and no, I’m not thinking that. She underestimates her audience’s empathy and intelligence, as well as over-explaining literally every joke. Like, as a viewer I’m sitting there thinking: I don’t care that you’re an Indian woman, I never said you shouldn’t be here.
But the whole time she’s like “I shouldn’t be here” and it just leaves you feeling like: ok, what are you doing to prove that you should be here. Because all I’ve heard is you talking about how out of place you are, but you haven’t done anything to make it seem like you deserve it. If she keeps saying she doesn’t belong and she doesn’t make funny jokes or provide insightful commentary, I’m going to believe her. Not only is she not that funny, she’s actively holding herself back by priming her audience to think: why am I not watching a different show, why is she hosting rather than whoever or so and so?
She also specifically calls out white people and Middle America, alienating and insulting them but not in a funny way just in a mean way, but who does she think watches late night talk shows? 😂
That's a good point. I am of the mindset that women don't need "personas" to be funny. Sure, personas can be fun if you establish yourself in said persona, but if you lack authenticity and you put on a persona to make up for it, the audience will see right through it.
:3
Lilly's humour and videos worked for me.. during my prepubescent teenage years.
Same
I'm in those teenage years right now and at first I thought she wasn't that bad but evrything after her first joke and the music video felt a "bit" much for me so i think I'll stay with my funny yt videos 👍🏼
Teenagers are not pre-pubescent. They are pubescent.
@@GreenEnvy. He probs means like 12/13
I will watch Lily Singh on mute only cuz I find her physically attractive. Stacked AF but simply her words are annoying & not funny...
I think a lot of it comes to the structure of the jokes. Watching a few standups of woman comedians as a man I feel like a target rather than audience.
My belief is when you make a joke the light jabs should come with a place of respect when dealing with other groups.
A good example is I heard a joke recently about the pyramids in Mexico.
“You have people questioning if the Egyptians built their pyramids, but no one questions the pyramids in Mexico. Because they’re the greatest workers we have. Fossil records showed preserved 6 packs of modellos”
That joke has jabs but it is respectful to our people and brings everyone up while laughing at our drinking on sites.
Going to an example in the video
“White people see me and assume I’m just the IT department”
That just seems targeted and a white man is just going to feel an attack on their character.
I don’t think it is a gender isolated issue because lesser known male comedians do this too it’s just the space of comedy is majority male dominated so of course the greats walk this line delicately and just going of off population distribution there’s gonna be more guys.
I fully believe if as many women joined in comedy as men we’d see just as many great women as men.
As someone who has spent many years as a travelling standup comedian and working in comedy clubs, I can say the main issue is that there is extreme gatekeeping in this industry. Back in the day, there was a small group of often white male producers who worked at Comedy Central that picked who would get specials. That’s why there was the Sara Silverman to Amy Schumer style of comedy featured there. Now there is an even smaller group of people at Amazon and Netflix who are choosing which comedians get streamed. This is an industry that elevates talent based on politicking, nepotism, and the same skeeviness that permeates the rest of entertainment.
That being said there are some truly great female standups out there, I wish I knew more POC female standups. Here are some of my faves that weren’t mentioned.
Cameron Esposito
Maria Bamford
Hannah Gadsby
Jackie Kashian
(2:40) Biggest issue I have with Amy Schumer is that she always sounds like she's not confident, that she can't remember her jokes and tries to come up with them as she speaks. A lot of ums in there.
I feel like she’s always some degree of intoxicated too, which can’t help with memory retention or ease of delivery
i think she's trying to be relatable and casual and failing miserably
She stoled the jokes from many different comedians, look up the "amy Schumer stiling jokes" And you will know also she ask for same pay check as high paid male comedians either wise it's male dominant country
@@corneliastreet2491 fr she sounds so drunk
Oh God you’re right. Now I can’t unsee it or hear it 😂
I once went to an open mic comedy night where anyone could attend. I made some jokes, got some good laughs, but there was one woman who stood out amongst everyone else. Her improv was on point and she killed it when it came to crowd work. I was like 14 at the time, and when I said it, I got fuckin' roasted for it. But it was all in good fun. She was a 40-year-old single mom with a 14 year old and 12 year old boys. I really hope she made it in some way 'cause she was fuckin' hilarious.

I saw female comedians that I liked in Dry Bar Comedy channel. I’m sure I’ll remember the names.
This is exactly my comment, like finally! A female comedian who doesn’t equate lewdness with being funny.
One of them is a lady who talked about her recent trip with her mom and sister in Paris. Another is a mom who talked about her husband and dog and they’re funny. No lewdness. No diversity bullshit. Just real stories from everyday people because all of our lives are interesting if you’re a good storyteller. But if you sick at it, being a famous celebrity wouldn’t help.
I'm a huge fan of Hannah Gadsby, Fern Brady, Sarah Millican, Sindhu Vee... and more! There's so many women who are hilarious!
Gabi saying “why am I laughing” over and over was funnier than all these comedians combined.
I think that just sort of highlights that "bad comedy" for big female comedians is not even that bad. I mean it's bad, but it's not Jim Breuer.
@@TheBc99 every bad comedian is gonna have the occasional good joke. But I agree Jim Breuer is just dogshit

She's definitely a fave of mine as well. Her comedy's just very relatable in general, girl or guy.
She talks about growing up in church and just growing up in general, going through those awkward years, which we've obviously all been through.

I agree very funny, humble and great delivery
@@lelloz7444I like Taylor Tomlinson, but also Michelle Wolf fucking kills me
I like her too, but I just watched two of her specials, and prettymuch every joke is based on, or makes reference to her gender and expectations surrounding her gender. Imo, however, there's nothing wrong with basing ones comedy on ones own life experience and identity. It's all just art, some people will like the painting, some will complain about it, red dragon might EAT the painting, but the fact that it elicits a reaction from everyone is part of what makes it art.
7:07 “she’s probably not a bad person” this has aged POORLY
I really respect gabi belle just for being honest. I often feel like women force themselves to like something only for the representation of it rather than really just liking it or not. And calling out the bad ones really opens the space and makes overall quality go higher.
Kaitlin Olson is an example of a world class comedic actress who does gross out and sexual humor excellently. She elevates It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia so much as the show goes on, and her humor has me rolling constantly.
She is such a hilarious woman, I’m so glad she made it onto ASIP because the show wouldn’t be the same without her. The Mick is also pretty great.
She also has the best fake gagging sound in the business, no one can almost throw up on camera as good as she can.
She's awesome in the podcast aswell! Amazing episodes!
@@The_Fat_Turtle Love the episode where she has Charlie “walk in her shoes” for a day and has him do a stand up routine 😂
