Of course we’ve all heard those idiotic assertions from sexist jerks claiming women aren’t funny. But we know that bullshit just isn’t true. So for this week’s Feminist Film Question, we asked: who are your favorite funny women in film and TV? We got a lot of duplicate votes (clearly a lot of Parks and Rec and 30 Rock fans out there!). So without further adieu, here’s who makes you laugh!
——
Bea Arthur
Roseanne Barr
Mayim Bialik
Portia de Rossi
Tina Fey
Rashida Jones
Mindy Kaling
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Amy Poehler

I have always loved Carol Burnett. And Whoopi Goldberg is hilarious (I love the fabulously feminist Jumping Jack Flash)
