Completely.
B'sides, I'd not seen Star Wars.

I kneeeeew someone would make a comment like that. I spent so long trying to formulate a reply, but they were all just as dodgy as one another.
Don't know Ros. Brain washing sounds like a lot of effort.
A decent sense of humour can be developed with time and exposure. I think a lot of women aren't allowed to develop one when they're younger - it's not considered wholly feminine.

I don't like Jim Davidson Live!It happens.
I don't like Jim Davidson. But I don't like Spaced either. Neither programme is an intelligence test like X-factor, so you're probably alright.
Phew!

It's only blokes who aren't very funny themselves who don't like funny girls.

Most men would like to go out with a funny woman. Laughing is quite enjoyable after all - there just aren't (m)any.
Feminists maintain that this is because patriarchy suppresses it as it is too threatening to men. Much like it stopped women inventing the jet engine and television, painting Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon and composing Turandot.
There's no more funny men than there are funny women.
You don't honestly think there's some magical 'funny' gene only present in the Y chromosome do you? :/
'Cos that would be pretty dumb.

I'm not saying I'm dumb, (but actually, until last week I'd just kind of assumed that the PIN code on Virgin's TV on demand was there to stop intruders watching their cable programme of choice while they were having a break from burgling your house >_<
but I kind of, sort of agree. Generally speaking there's a difference in the kind of things men and women joke about, and there's the whole thing about not getting inside jokes about female comedians. I mean I'd laugh just as much as a perfectly timed female fart as I would a male one, but it just happens so rarely. 
Plus I'm sure childbirth IS painful, and that PMT IS rubbish, but I find it hard to laugh at the fact that my X chromosomed fellow homo sapiens have to endure it all on their own. (that is the get-out-of-anything emoticon, right?)
Are you saying women only joke about PMT and childbirth?
Have you watched telly since the early 80s?

I do like Victoria Wood, Smack the Pony team and a couple of others. But generally there aren't as many funny women as men.
Oh dear, I seriously can't sit through another tiresome thread about this. Have a fun mothers meeting by yourselves, humans with penises! (which apparently contain all the secrets of making amusing jokes.)

I was maybe joking about that being all they joke about! If I was being serious I would have included chocolate/cake in the 'Generic Repertoire for Comediennes' (tm).

Did you just make a penis joke? Oh, my, that's...quite brillant. *chortles*

Heh. I couldn't quite work out your post.
