Good jokes tend to be short, a punchline doesn’t hit the same if you have to wade through an endless mire of text. This is perhaps why X (formerly Twitter) was such a hub of humor, memes and hilarious posts, since a limited character count is like a secret hack for humor.
We’ve gathered some of the funniest and most relatable posts by women on X (formerly Twitter) that might make you chuckle. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts, feelings and experiences in the comments section below.

While women have been attempting to try their hands at comedy for as long as comedy has existed, unfortunately most ancient societies had a pretty dim view of female humor. The ancient Greeks, for all their literary and playwriting talent, would still use male actors for female roles.
Indeed, the common belief among ancient Greek men (which in some forms persists to this day) was that a woman’s sense of humor was based on her enjoyment of male jokes. However, they seemed to also be perfectly ok limiting a woman’s access to the stage to actually test this hypothesis, which might be pretty telling.

Poison butt sword... why are these not the official words. Who wants to sign my petition to change stingers to poison butt sword?
Part of the issue was that much of the paying power and thereby demand was skewed against female comedy. However, as women entered the workforce, they gained both the ability to “work” in comedy and to pay to consume it, like both arms of a set of bellows fanning a fire. By the 1920s, general demand for mass media, including comedy, finally gave some women the chance to shine.
However, let’s face it, it’s not like the media we consume is now a perfect and fair representation. In Hollywood, for example, there are roughly 2.24 male characters for every female character in all types of films, not just comedy. This same study also found that roughly only 30% of women's roles even involve speaking.
However, unlike the old, focus-group-worshiping executives deciding on who gets to star where, social media is a tad more democratic. Indeed, you don’t need to somehow try open mic after open mic, if you want a shot at comedy, you can simply make a post here and there and see what gains traction.

Books too. Sometimes I have finished it and then gone right back to chapter one so I don't have to leave. Come on Mr Rothfuss, I need to know what happens to Kvothe and Denna and how he meets Bast.

Yeah but I'm too old and don't have the skills to work in the New Hampshire or Texas game wardens. But I can dream while Lone Star Law and North Woods Law is on. Glenn Lucas and Bennie Richards make it for me. Only Bennie went and retired on me - dang!

Daisy jones and the six is my comfort place right now. Literally, if you could see where the most streams were for this show... it would be my house. Every time I'm having a bad day I watch it. Which is like 6 days a week. The music is so good. All of the actors learned to play their instruments or learned to sing n spent covid creating their characters... it shows. They wrote all new music for it n they recreated the sunset strip from the 70s n did such a great job at capturing the era... it teleports you back to LA in the 70s. They even recreated Soundcity studio as it was back then. The actors all performed live. Everything about the show makes me happy. Except for Nicky. IYKYK. But it's like... a little slice of paradise for me when I just want to tune out n shut my brain off. I turn my soundbar n subwoofer up to the max n blast the concert scenes. If you haven't watched it, it's on Amazon prime. It's very loosely based off of Fleetwood Mac. The book is great too. Shows better

I just rewatched Bosch and was annoyed when it ended. Do I watch it a third time or try to find something else?

That’s what fan fiction is for! The show’s writers won’t let my favourite characters do what I want? Then I’m bloody well going to let them do it in my universe!

This is perhaps why, as of 2023, online comedy is popular among female comedians, with 92% of them using Instagram and 89% using Twitter. The internet is full of comedy gold, so perhaps take note of the posters who tickle your fancy and give them a follow.

Well yeah, the intense music and life stories and stuff, honestly I can relate half the time.
Despite the clear and present evidence that women are, very regularly, funny, there still are sizable gender imbalances in comedy as well. UK comedy panel shows are, regularly, two thirds male, for example, limiting potential exposure for female comedians. The silver lining is that this is still a vast improvement from the 1980s, where women were just 3% of guests.

When the time comes the me that was cool with the plans is long gone. Day of you've reached hermit me that just wants to hibernate at home.
Similarly, in the US, most comedy club lineups will still be male-dominated. For example, in 2014, New York comedy club Carolines featured only 20% female performers. These numbers have improved since then, but 2014 was only a decade ago, women have been in the arts, one way or another, for centuries.
Often, the female comedians of the past, like the legendary Phyllis Diller, had to resort to self-deprecation to draw a laugh. She would mock her own physical appearance and, at times, call herself ugly. Self-deprecation isn’t anything new in comedy, but it’s telling that female comedians were forced into this mold until quite recently.

Just a little nap. A teensy weensy 25 hour nap that I can take and then resume yesterday.
Some have even gone as far as to argue that stand-up comedy is a male-dominated medium. Braggadocious stories, tales of exploits and aggressive language and punchlines all are still quite popular. Women are slowly changing this mode, but viewers still see the male elements of comedy as core components of it, not just things that have become normalized.

I'm not sure how many hearing "everything happens for a reason" moments I have left before someone is punched.
This is why, despite some recent issues, X remains a heaven for comedy, intentional or not. The character limits foster creativity, you can get immediate feedback and folks can riff on each other's work in the replies. Plus it never hurts to see someone express in words something you have always felt deep down.
