Television: Last Comic Standing or How Ovaries Prevent You From Being Funny
Last night I watched an episode of Last Comic Standing that has been sitting on my DVR for like a week. It was ho-hum for the most part. Arj Barker got kicked off which I was a little sad about, but he’s on Flight of the Conchords, so I think he’s doing OK for himself. Mostly I just think he’s kind of hot. One day I will get through a post without mentioning how I think so-and-so is hot and want to be bent over his desk. Someday.
There was one girl comedian who got voted through named Sarah? No, Amy. Amy Schumer. And I watched her act and I got to thinking. There seem to be a very limited range of female comedians. Or, comediennes, if you prefer. And I was feeling pretty insightful, so I wrote it down.
1. No one wants to date me even though I am marginally attractive.
Isn’t is hilarious how I never know where my relationships are going?
Boys are so stupid.
Also, I am slut.Indie comedienne and Ratatouille voice Jeanine Garofalo fits into this category.
2. Everything I say is so filthy that if a man said it, you would be horrified, but I am a semi-cute girl, so it’s charming, right? RIGHT?!?!?
Please love me.
Also, I am a slut.America’s Comedic Darling Sarah Silverman is the inspiration for this category. Yes, I am secretly jealous of her.
Amy Schumer is also one of these. I am not jealous of her.
3. FATTY HUNGRY!
FATTY SAD
BOYS MAKE FATTY ANGRY!!!On Last Comic Standing this is Debra DiGiovanni. I am a little charmed by her and come to think of it, she doesn’t bitch about not getting dates too much.
Feel free to make some kind of score card for your next open mic night.

I just wanted to leave a comment saying that Amy Schumer has won me over. She just seems way smarter than most of the other comics left on the show and is not always *a riot* but consistently induces chuckles. And she told the best joke to the nun.
