Racking my brain to think of some I laugh at pretty regular.

Poor women.

Amy Poehler probably is tops for me. I laugh more at her on Parks and Rec than I do Tina Fey on 30 Rock. Jane Lynch ain't too bad. But like this fat chick that's in a lot of comedies now. How do people think she is funny? I have laughed at a total of zero jokes of hers, that number should be in the negative do to the number of times I've wanted to kick her face.

I'd have to go
1. Amy Poehler
2. Tina Fey
3. My sister
4. Anna Farris, her being hot helps a lot.
5. Jane Lynch
6. Ummm

I'm probabaly forgetting one or two. More likely I need to take one off my list though.

Edit: Jennifer Lawrence is awesome.

While not a comedian, Jennifer Lawrence is pretty high up there, as is Anna Kendrick.

Hard to beat these two.

I like that Amy Poehler doesn't seem to be trying to be funny.
She just performs really well on PnR.

Betty Draper in an abstract Andy Kaufman sort of way.

I'd go Amy Poehler just from people I can think of off my head. It's definitely not Tina Fey, I've never really gotten why she is so widely considered as funny. I truly think my ex gf is more funny than any woman comic on TV.

Amy Pohler, Megyn Price, Tina Fey, Portia DeRossi, Andrea Anders was great on Better Off Ted, Krysten Ritter

There are some I'm forgetting. But all of them are pretty good comedic actresses and seem to have good timing.

Women aren't funny per se, but I'd say...

Amy Poehler
Kristen Wiig
Chelsea Handler
Jane Lynch

Leslie Mann tends to make me laugh in her roles.

Slim Pickens was pretty damn funny and I'd take him over any female comedian.

My first choice is Anna Faris, who is already mentioned, but I think that Kristen Schall deserves recognition too.


She's probably best known for Flight Of The Conchords, doing a voice in Toy Story 3, and doing stand-up.

Sandra Bullock - if you want subtle funny

Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy on Modern Family)

quote:

Tina Fey


Meh.

quote:

Jane Lynch


Pretty funny.

quote:

Amy Poehler


Maybe if I were a P&R fan - not saying she's not funny, I just haven't been super impressed with her.

quote:

Anna Farris


Except for a few moments of Lost in Translation, and she almost certainly wasn't in the scene, I have never seen, anything, she has ever been in - ever, ever. So I cannot judge.

Yes I watched Friends, but by Season 10, I hadn't watched Friends in 5 years.
