Funny Looking
Ok. So to be a comedianne you must have something horribly wrong with you right? I mean, even the prettiest female comics resort to pulling strange faces and funny expressions to make themselves more likable.
Are we still in the Ice Age folks? Or was that the Stone Age when men treated women like crap. Actually, I think that would be This Day and Age.
So anyway, the point is you rarely see a beautiful comic. A perfect example would be this season's Last Comic Standing. I have no idea why the judges picked these people to live in the house but having a disability must have something to do with it.
Ok, I'll admit the cerebral palsy guy is hilarious but the lady with the short legs is dumb corny. When they asked her why she decided to do comedy she answered, "Because I really hate myself."
Not that she didn't have good reason but that sort of proves my point. You have to be able to make fun of yourself because that's the only way people can laugh in your face without being mean.
And if you're drop dead gorgeous (is that how you spell that?) what do people have to laugh at? Your jokes? No. Because the best jokes are the personal ones - otherwise people are gonna assume that you have a ghostwriter.
This parallels with female rappers. No one believes Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown wrote their own stuff but do people accuse Remy of this? No. Because Remy has a man-face and therefore garners more respect of her male counterparts and fans. No disrespect to Remy. Hopefully she has the ability to laugh at herself.
And that sort of proves my point as well. Remy could easily moonlight as a comedianne whereas Lil' Kim could not.
Is this worth analyzing? Yes, as a matter of fact, it is. You wanna know why? Because I wanna do stand up comedy and I think I'd be great at it. What do you guys think? Maybe I should get some prescription glasses first...

If what you say is true- you won't make it, you're too pretty.

I'll take this a step further....female comics aren't funny. Period. Whether fat or slim, pretty or "man-faced", they're not funny. As far as Last Comic, that little broad is one of the unfunniest people in the world and I gotta show you my impression of her. That being said, she'd get the tool because she has a nice little rump on her. Now onto you. You're not funny. You laugh at your own jokes before you finish them. Now while I love that about you, an audience wouldn't. Maybe you should be a rapper?
Women ARE funny. And I don't laugh at my own jokes...all the time. Who doesn't do it? Dave Chappelle does it constantly. But he's a man, right? I will admit that Samantha Bee was the weakest link on The Daily Show and Wanda Sykes was only a sidekick on the Chris Rock show. But I look at someone like Ellen Degeneres and say to myself, "Wow she is amazing."
Clearly, funny females are the minority here. I mean, back in the day Sommore, Cheryl Underwoood, Adele Givens, and all those racy foul-mouthed females that graced the stage of Def Comedy Jam resorted to sex related jokes but you gotta admit that Monique is funny.
"Go 'head Monique! Do yo' thang!", said the lady with the short legs.
And The Kidd wants to f*** her. You must've noticed how high she can kick her legs...so did I.
I SURE DID!!!! I think she was doing a little routine about being on a stair climber in her audition and you could see the roundness of her hind-quarters.
The difference in the way Dave Chappelle laughs and the way you do it is that he can still talk and finish his joke. You laugh uncontrollably and it makes me laugh just waiting to hear the punch line.
Those Colored women from Def Comedy were not funny. Monique is not funny. She yells to much. Kinda like that large Colored woman on Last Comic. I hate that loud, "Oh look at the big bad black woman" bit. She should just go make me a Turkey sandwich and shut up.
