There is a tired trope that women are not capable of coming up with funny jokes as men do. The infamous and hilarious female comedian Carol Burnett has re-told her story countless times about the path to her own variety TV show, and it always includes a variation of the phrase “comedy is a man’s game.” Well, it’s time to shut that old idea down.
Thanks to trailblazers like Burnett, countless funny women have since dominated TV, movies, stand-up comedy stages, Netflix and yes, even, Twitter. Social media has given us all a new platform to show off our best jokes, comedy chops, and funny tweets and some of our favorite accounts are run by women. If you don’t follow Chrissy Teigen's epic Twitter account you are seriously missing out on some comedy gold. Bored Panda has rounded up some of the best tweets from women on Twitter guaranteed to make you laugh! So scroll down below for some best puns delivered by the 'weaker' gender.

I have an identical twin named Patrick, and we go to different schools in cork. To see if anyone would find out, we traded places for a day. (We take almost the exact same subjects, so we weren’t horribly confused during classes or anything.) the only time one of the students noticed something wrong was when I answered anseo múinteoir (Irish for here teacher) when William, one of my brothers classmates, was called. Neither of us got in any trouble
*“Hello yes period helpline what can I do for you?”* “Well the monthly blood renewal sounded like a good idea at first, but I’d like to cancel my subscription” *”ooh, sorry miss, but you still have another 28 years in your contract”*
Considers adding more guns to the school environment by arming teachers but straws, they gotta go, they're dangerous!!!
Also the sea is filled with things exclusively designed to kill you, sharks, jelly fish, swimming knives...I think I lost the metaphor
this is a good answer to your mums question of 'if everyone jumped off a cliff, would you?!', you could now answer 'yes, but I'd wear a life jacket'.
"punches screen, clears desk of paper, throws chair through window* I... er... have no idea... what you're talking about...
You are - unless you have a loo-roll obsessed dog! Had to abandon the holder completely as it was just enabling her habit.
there is a whole wiki page for this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_paper_orientation
But your towel is perfectly folded and hung properly as my mother would have liked it.
How the f**k do people have it the other way round?! If it all unravels then you have to take 5 minutes spinning it. With it like this, then you can just hit it a few times and your done :T
That`s how I like mine too. When I had a cat it stopped her from unwinding the whole roll when she was frustrated!
Telling you where you are wrong is always such a nice icebreaker...
My sweetie suggested that she might have pets. Our cat would unroll toilet paper when we didnt clean her litter box often enough.
I'm 70 and as far back as I can remember the toilet paper comes off the back of the roll like yours, stops the cat unrolling it.
I'm getting a tinder profile just so I can have one as awesome as yours.
Great way to weed out the guys (and commenters) you wouldn't want to date anyway.
Well now you know which men to avoid...and all people for that matter if they are going to argue over which way toilet paper should be placed.
This is actually the perfect way to quickly sort through potential matches!
Tell them it only looks that way because it's being seen in the mirror and watch their heads implode.
Nope, this is the correct way. Keeps it from becoming a cat toy, and also easier to tear sheets off.
Nope, the only way to keep my cats from destroying the TP like it murdered their mother in front of them is to keep it in the cabinet under the sink and put a safety lock on the cabinet.

Or when I have to pay a whole ticket for my perfectly civilised corgi to board on the subway, but all screaming insufferable children under 6 go in for free.
I didn’t realise that 80% of what I say was inappropriate until my 4 year old started repeating me

I f*****g hate that stereotype of women not being as funny as men. Which is obviously b******t. Like I'm sorry but the last I checked, women are human beings too. And being funny is a HUMAN trait.
Only humourless men claim that anyway. ♥ (the funny guys get our jokes)

Ok, I guess there's some stereotype about women being less funny than men, which is why this article exists- but I haven't heard much about it. So why isn't there an article about hilarious men? We exist too. Just because we aren't a hot-button topic doesn't make us irrelevant.
You can write an article. There's always enough room for more jokes.

I wish you could have named one other female comedian in the intro besides Carol Burnett. I used to love her when I was a little kid but I don't find her funny at all now, and there are so many others who are great.
Not as many female standup comics because it's a tough life, and men in that arena are known to be abusive and aggressive toward woman, much more than toward each other. Just the current stories are nothing compared to what's gone on over the years. Many women in the writing rooms of sitcoms, when they're not talked over (as in SNL.) Just not as visible.
Some ladies (like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, many more), have had this guy rolling on the floor with their hilarity! But I don't need to make it a point to approve whenever a woman attempts humor. I will let said woman's try at humor naturally cause me to laugh, fail to do so or do so moderately as it happens to. Women are well represented in comedy: Fey, Poehler, Wiig, Aubrey Plaza, Kate McKinnon, Broad City, Samantha Bee, Leslie Jones - these are just some examples of women in comedy given great opportunities, deservedly overall I'd say in those cases. Not much of an issue.
Yeah, your privilege is showing a bit. You can look at almost any media that looks at comedy and find yourself represented. You only came up with eight women who you meet your standards and there are a lot more than that out there. But they tend to get overshadowed by their male counterparts.

most of these tweets are not even worth a grin, let alone a laughter... whatever
Why specify they were made by women? Surely that's counterproductive. This isn't what the suffragettes and others fought so fiercely for. It's ridiculous.
