LOL is that the fish tank he would always talk about? The Asian guy cleaning it?

Asian - "Um patrice uhhh you never paiiiiid me for the thermometer.."

Patrice - "I give this nigga $300 a month......."

Best impression he ever did.

*cups hands to accept $3.00 in change for batteries..

"Heh heh heh, I didn't charge youuuuuu for the batterrieess..." - Asian cleaner

They have the personality of fly paper!

Literally best callback

"Hello O'neill!"

Aw. Just went back and listened to his rants about the tank cleaner because of this. So enjoyable.

My first thought.

The thing that irks me the most about this piece of shit is that it's largely a response to Christopher Hitchens' article in Vanity Fair on the subject. The same article that isn't making the claim that there are no funny women, just that the natural ability to be funny is much more diminished in women as a whole. Mostly because men are ugly lumps of shit and need some kind of way of wooing women to fuck them.

It's like the entire film was based off an out-of-context quote.

I remember I think it was the Race Wars podcast with Bonnie and Gavin McInnis and she actually admitted that, the point of the article wasn't that women aren't funny, and I thought, why isn't that in the movie then?

The movie was a waste of time specifically because of that.

Also supposedly they had hours of that Patrice interview, and used him for maybe 20 seconds tops, but probably not even that.

This is perfect because women fight to prove that they are funny and don't even understand what's really goin on. It's not that women can't be funny, there's obviously a couple that are funny. The issue is that we don't give a fuck about you being funny (which is why most aren't funny).

Women being funny isn't attractive to men like it is to women. That's all that matters. That's why Patrice is genius. He knew how to drill it down to the lowest common denominator. While other people are trying to argue why women aren't funny and pulling examples of unfunny women, etc. he's just sitting there like "you're not arguing the right point. I just don't care about funny women."

ya. Just a matter of what you need. Growing up, women typically don't need to be charming so they typically are bad at flirting and getting a guy that doesn't already want them. If I see a girl and say to myself "I don't wanna sleep with her" there's very little she can do to change my mind (short of telling me some crazy sexual thing she'll do, which ultimately goes back to her being an object). So they have no skills to get what they want. But If a girl initially isn't into a guy, there's so many things he can do to change her mind. Charm, persuasion, charisma, salesmanship, humor, confidence. They're all skills that women typically don't need to have so they never develop them.

Being funny is really just another form of power. If I have the ability to make a person, group, or room full of people laugh, it's power. It's exposing to laugh. It's hard to lie about it. If you're feelings are hurt about something I said, you could easily hide those emotions but if you were trying to hide that you though something was funny, it's very hard. That's why being funny is so diffusing. It's all about the power.

It's always an ulterior thought. It's like girls liking guy who go to the gym. Ya, washboard abs are nice, but it's also about the dedication, commitment, and sacrifice it takes to be in very good shape.

I don't know why people get so upset about it because there's clearly fewer female comedians, and fewer women who attempt it. People can go into the reasons and theories all they want but it's just about the numbers.

That last sentence sums up the whole issue perfectly.

This is perfect because women fight to prove that they are funny

Is there anything less funny than someone trying to change society? Either entertain me or go change the world. Tutor a girl in math, volunteer at a clit re-attachment clinic in Africa, I don't know. Are you really trying to make a better world... through jokes? Talk about overambitious.

Spot on. I can appreciate a funny girl for a second. Then she needs to shut the fuck up amd leave the jokes to me.

Carolla made the best point and an analogy that sums up the whole point perfectly. Its about how there must be something to it(women not being funny) or else they wouldn't be mad a criticism. Like if you told a skinny guy he was fat he would just laugh at you but if you tell a guy whos a over a certain weight he's a little chubby theres gonna be a problem.

After I heard this soundbite it pretty much killed the documentary for me with logic. Good work, Adam.

Love this logic. I'm gonna use this.

It's basically "why u mad tho?"

or because it's a stale ass generalization like men can't cook.

That's wildly inaccurate though since most world class chefs are men.

Men don't complain if you tell them they can't cook.

Well, don't I have egg on my face.

I thought black men would fuck anything.

The poor ones.

T.I. and his wife

Huh? I just looked her up, I think she's pretty

Then you have horrible taste, even other rappers rap about how ugly she is.

you have to be kidding. She definitely has downs

What? Her?

damn!

Is the movie worth watching? I really enjoyed Pollack's movie, so I wouldn't mind another good comedy documentary.

It sucks.

Not really, no.

I watched it really wanting to like it since I do find Vos and Bonnie funny at times, but no, it's really bad. It basically is two hours of women not being funny. It validates the title instead of refuting it.

Here is how they could have made this a successful movie:

Bookended four sets of women doing stand up and killing a room, with the interviews cut a bit shorter, lost the Hitchens angle, lost the meandering narrative, etc.

Bookended four sets of women doing stand up and killing a room

So they couldn't have made it a successful movie?

Touche, I got to one female comic and couldn't think of any more.

You sexist pig ;)

Our lord and savior Patrice.

Post the clip

everyone should tweet Vos and Bonnie asking for the whole interview.

Let em know that we'd probably buy the DVD if they posted full interviews on it
