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...
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.
my wife bought a new dress with pockets - never seen a woman so excited.
It's a legit problem not only is it hard to get pockets we get pants with the illusion of pockets just to drive us crazy
Load More Replies... Oh, yeah. The struggle is real. Also, not being able to find jeans that are both wide enough, deep enough and don't have idiotic holes on them, plus are my size. Honestly, people. I'm just a 172cm, standard-sized girl that needs practical clothing! When are you going to learn that not all girls are dumb enough to follow stupid trends? Just make a small stock of... well, normal clothes and see if it works, it wouldn't cost you so much, you get like 50$ from selling one teeny tiny ridiculous crop top shirt! I'd even pay extra, just offer me some normal clothes, goddammit!
I have three dresses with pockets. Whenever someone compliments me on them, I always go: AND POCKETS!!! and show them. The women always understand.
I'm the same. If i get a dress or a skirt with pockets, everyone'll know.

I will NOT buy a pair of pants that has no pockets. Period. Time and again I have gone to a store and found what seemed to be a great pair, only to discover it had no pockets, or pathetic excuses for pockets that would barely hold one credit card. Back on the rack!
It always pisses me off that women's outerwear hardly ever, and that is pretty close to never ever, have any inside pocket whereas men's jackets, overcoats etc almost always come with a great inside pocket to stash some valuable things in. Grrrrr.
I hate that! Though some are only sewn shut to stop people putting their hands in when trying them on and stretching the fabric/leaving things in them. They are only tacked closed and you can unpick them.

All I'm saying is, I'll believe we've achieved equality of the sexes when we have goddamn pockets. It's 2018. Where the f*ck are my pockets???
Oh, and how about giving us sizes that are simple measurements, like men's?
All tunics should have pockets, cuz they make it hard to get in you pant pockets.
I don't like half of my scrubs, they're plain and kinda baggy. I keep them because they have the most pockets; double pockets, pockets with smaller pockets in them and on the outside of them, with little straps and elastic bands that hold pens, thetmometers, keys, and other small things. I like all the pockets.
Seriously. Why even make a pair of jeans with no pockets? Like they sew in a line to make it look like there are pockets, but that line is a LIE. I have way too many pairs of pants with no pockets. I always forget to check when I'm trying them on and then when I'm wearing them for the first time I go to put my lip balm in my pocket and UGH NO POCKET. Why? Why put a fake pocket on a pair of pants? It's madness.
I bought a pair of nice dress pants and later discovered that the pockets were sewn shut! Insanity.
I think I've read that you're supposed to cut that thread. Never had the problem myself, but if there's a pocket under there...

I’m 61, I LOVE anything with pockets, but especially skirts and dresses! I made my own formals so I could have pockets. POCKETS!
This should be number one, across ALL posts this month on BoredPanda.
And let's make jeans the look like they have pockets but they're fake. Too many times.
I'm very much a hoodie girl and when I don't have pockets, my hands feel awkward and pointless...I love my pockets <3
Yeah I noticed that almost all the things made for girls has no pockets
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.
