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
Tl,dr; my brother and I swapped schools for a day and nobody noticed

My sister and I are four years apart, but look like we are twins. We both worked at Sears Parts and Service. It wasn't uncommon for customers to say.."Yeah..I talked to you about this last Tuesday." Me: "No you didn't." Customer.."Yeah it was Tuesday." Me: "I don't work on Tuesdays." Then my sister comes around the corner. Customer is looking back and forth at us in disbelief..Customer: "Well maybe it was her I was talking too." Walks towards my sister while looking at me with a "WTF?" expression on their face. Priceless.....
Same: Two Pizzerias, one in front of the other...I thought that the waitress had two jobs...nope, twins... took me two years
Something similar happened to me too, at two different Shops, the shops has the same name, franchise and saw this guy at the shop I don't often go to, so when I went back to my regular one I saw him again and said oh, do you work shifts at both shops? He said no, he has a twin brother
My husband and I lived two doors down from a stunning couple, they both looked like runway models. We rarely saw them, he was a chiropractor and she was a pharmacist and didn't have kids like most of us so we just waved hello most days. Started seeing him at the mall where a new chiropractic office opened and thought he seemed standoffish when we would wave, he never waved back. Saw him on the street one day and asked if he didn't recognize us and of course that's when he said it was his identical twin, also a chiropractor. Years later I ended up with identical twin sons of my own, luckily they chose different careers. Lol.
And they're both working for the same company ... In the same position? XD
My local supermarket has identical twins who work as shelf stackers. Both smiley and friendly. I spent a few months wondering how the hell he managed to get from one aisle to another so fast before I realised there had to be two of them.

This happened to me with new neighbors. I was confused until I saw them together, but then I was still never sure if I was getting the chatty one or the quiet one at first
I caught one of my students chatting with friends in the lunch room, instead of going to the bathroom for which she had a pass. It wasn't until after I wrote her up for discipline that I found out she has an identical twin! The twin has lunch while my student is in class with me.
I have twin friends. When they were little, somebody told them that twins can switch places and nobody will notice. So they tried and got caught instantly. Nobody told them they need to be identical twins for this to work.
Hell confusing, I used to go to University with triplets... found out way later, but same, always baffled me that sometimes "he" would just passed without even looking at me, and sometimes he was all smiles.. crazy.. they should have a sign that says "twin 1" or something.. 0_0"
We used to do that when we were little but as we have gotten older and expressed our individual styles, we can't. We are short so our friend calls us Goth Hobbit and Metal Hobbit. I will still answer to any poorly guessed variation of her name and she mine.
That happened to me in college. My English Prof dressed so well, I wanted to emulate her when I graduated. Then later I'd see her on campus in jeans and a sweatshirt...time and time again! I couldn't figure out how she changed so fast or why. Someone finally told me it was her twin
*“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.
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.
