- Is that recording?
- Yeah, it's recording.
- So look...
- - No it isn't.
Yes, it is.
It says recording?
Um, OK, so this is the thing
is that I'm actually
trying to find out
I've never met an unfunny woman.
Absolutely.
I love when you meet a girl out
and she tells you she's got
a best friend who's like
She's got great stories
and then you meet her and,
oh my God, these stories, like, I'm
fucking listening to this all night.
I don't wanna
shoot myself in the head.
or fucking hang myself
from the nearest tree.
women comics are funny?
- Do I think women comics are funny?
- - Yes.
Actually, do I think alternative
women comics are funny.
You think alternative
women comics are funny?
are funny.
I don't want any women
in the movie.
Women aren't funny.
OK, get back.
First of all,
you're asking the right person
because I think a lot of guys are
not that fucking funny, either.
You know what I mean? When people go,
"Well, a lot of women aren't funny."
It's like, "Are you
that funny too, shithead?"
I feel like I am
the exception to the rule
in the sense that
most women aren't funny
and then... I am.
like, a sociologist,
'cause I'm just a fuckin' drunk.
What am I signing, in turquoise?
- Is it...
- It's the...
- Oh, what a fuckin'...
- - It's a girls documentary.
I love how we make her
sit way in the corner,
- by the way.
- No, that's cool. I get it.
You know.
Now, Bonnie, what is
this that you're filming?
We're making a cocumentary.
- A cocumentary?
- Yeah.
Never heard the word
documentary butchered like that.
- Oh, I have.
- It's a comedy documentary.
- Yes.
- - Why do you call it that?
It's so dumb. It sounds dumb,
it's a documentary.
- Cocumentary?
- Well, it's a comedy.
- I think it works on two levels.
Like, it's a comedy documentary.
So it's kind of a funny name.
And then you're in it.
So what exactly is this?
It's about...
what is the documentary about?
I'm on a quest to find out if
women are really funny or not.
- You know?
- All right.
Kind of like the last say in it.
Sum that up in about
three frames...
No.
This is exactly why
I am making this cocumentary.
Why are people still
so reluctant to admit
there are any funny women?
So women have this,
like, bad reputation
not being funny.
Where do you think
it comes from?
It's weird. Women are
but in comedy, the attitudes
remain totally prehistoric.
- People think women are not funny?
- - Yes.
A lot of comedians actually
think there are a lot of...
that there aren't
funny female comedians.
Yeah.
Take this guy,
- What's your name?
- Jerry Lewis.
He may be famous
for portraying a dumb-dumb,
but he's infamous
for admitting publicly
that he doesn't think
any women are funny.
If he doesn't think
a woman is funny,
why does he dress up and
masquerade as a woman
and think it's so damn funny?
What were you saying?
This hot button issue encourages
many of our greatest thinkers
to weigh in.
I just think it's a lot harder for
women to do anything in society
because they have brains
a third the size of ours.
I just think the whole thing, like, are
you interviewing Hitchens, that guy?
That Christopher Hitchens guy
or whatever.
...Hitchens why women
aren't funny.
- Christopher Hitchens.
- In 2007,
renowned author
Christopher Hitchens
wrote a biting article
for Vanity Fair magazine
