Boobies and Kittys, Kittys and Boobies

Breast humor and jokes have been a popular comedic topic for about as long as comedy has been around. From chi-chi's to ta-ta's, the funny nicknames for all types of budding bosoms seem to be endless. Breast humor may seem like a taboo topic, but having a good laugh at the expense of "the girls" is good for you. As long as we steer clear from bringing up boob jokes or anything of the sort while at work, church, or any other professional type of setting, our forbidden humor is able to live on!

Comedy Club Night Out

Comedy clubs, across the country and around the world, have experienced a recent surge in popularity. A comedy club hosts a variety of acts including comedians, impersonators, ventriloquists, musical comedy acts, and magicians. However, stand-up comedians are the primary, featured performances at most comedy clubs, today. Stand-up comedy has enjoyed a long and varied history. Many people see the old vaudeville shows as the original stand-up platform. Actually, it could probably be traced back to the days of the court jester. Comedy clubs became extremely popular in the 50’s and 60’s. Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Redd Fox, Sam Kineson, and Bill Cosby were some the most renowned stand-up comedians. Since their hayday, comedy clubs slowly declined, earning a seedy reputation. However, pollsters have found comedy club audiences growing. If you haven't had a good laugh for a while, a night out at a comedy club may be in order.

The Everyday Woman's Standup Comic

For reasons I will never understand, there's a stereotype out there that men are 'funnier' than women. At least, that's what some of my ex-boyfriends kept telling me. Perhaps it comes from the idea that most high school  'class clowns' are male, which wasn't true in my school. In fact, most of the funniest people I've known have been women. Perhaps it's because a lot of the men I know still get into childhood 'toilet humor'. My husband still burps in answer to questions sometimes! If you've ever been to a stand-up show or watched one on television, you'll notice that most of the comedians featured are men. I don't know why, but some people seem to think that women just can't be funny. Apparently these people need to wake up and smell the chocolate, because there are many new female comics adding to the already-diverse class of funny ladies!

Stereotypes?  Seriously, not Blonde Stereoypes!

You know the old cliché, "blonds have more fun".  Yadda, yadda, yadda!  Is it an ironclad fact that fair haired maidens are in an ecstatic state of happiness or ignorance?  Or is it simply a ploy they have adopted to distract us from all of the really lame dumb blonde jokes that they've worn the brunt of for at least forever and a day?

OK, does it matter if there is truth to it or not? Suffice it to say that ocassionally, these jokes can be called sexist, but they can also be rather funny.  It's well known by dumb blonde history buffs, there's more to it than a few guffaws.
