  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Why does every male find the movie, "Dumb and Dumber" absolutely hilarious. And every female finds it completely stupid? Yet, they will laugh hysterically at "Airplane"?

Because every statistic is 60% right, 30% of the time

I'm not sure it's a guy/doll thing because I remember when "Airplane" came out - I knew people, male and female, who said it was dumb. I thought it was brilliant. And some people, male and female, don't like Monty Python. The rest of us sensible people love Python. :)

As for "Dumb and Dumber" I've never seen it either, so I don't know.

I've heard that women don't like the 3 Stooges. Is that true? Maybe that kind of physical, slapstick comedy isn't funny to them.

"Slowly I turned...step by step...inch by inch..." :oldthumbsup:
Women think the silent film star Harold Floyd is hilarious. And he was all physical comedy.

I have actually been on stage doing comedy. One routine was 90% physical comedy.

I casually introduced myself but kept going crazier and crazier, raising the pitch of my voice and being totally off the wall until I convinced all that I was completely insane and then presented my comedy which was, "The chicken should never be man's best friend". Then I would prance on stage like a chicken pretending to be a dog! And when I was the seeing eye chicken...I had them in tears! That was a good night!

Did you video the routine? I'd love to see it.

2 comics who always cracked me up were Robin Williams and George Carlin. Both who have sadly left us. Robin Williams was so incredibly quick-witted. His jokes and ad lib side comments would come so fast it was sometimes hard to keep up with him. And Carlin was the funniest satirical comic I've ever heard. His humor had an edge, but was hilarious. My current favorite is Martin Short. My wife and I saw his live show with Steve Martin last month. Both were great, but Marty does impersonations and character routines that are just a riot.

I think it really boils down to personal taste, it's never occurred to me that gender would play a role in this. The only way I could see it playing a role would be in relateability, obviously some things will be more relateable for men than women and vice versa based solely on life experiences in which gender has played a major role in shaping those experiences for us as individuals. Having said that, all the women I've been friends with over the years think Dumb and Dumber is hilarious--perhaps it's simply that it's a matter of gravitating toward having friendships and relationships with people with common interests/tastes. I tend to get along better with people who find the same sorts of things funny that I find funny, because humor is a chief component of any of my inter-personal relationships.
