Are men funnier than women? If it’s up to SRF: absolutely. As is well known, they only place men for the successor to the comedy show “Deville” – men who are only considered moderately funny if you believe various online reviews. Of course this is not possible.
The problem doesn’t just lie in the old-fashioned notions of gender that often attribute much of the funnyness to men – we’ll get to that later. No, whether you’re joking men or women, Switzerland really isn’t the perfect country of humor. With a few exceptions at the very top—Emil, Franz Hohler, the sadly forgotten Kaspar Fischer (1938-2000), the SRF managed to frighten archival materials—the British, the French, and also the Germans have treated us humorously. far ahead. In general, they are more anarchists, generally smarter, and much sharper than we are when it comes to Germans. What could it be?
Psychology says guys are actually funnier. The reason for this lies in traditional gender roles.
A look at psychology also offers answers to gender relations in humor: In a large-scale meta-study in 2019, Israeli psychologist Gil Greengross concluded that men are actually perceived as being funnier than women—and even finds why this: Humor is a sign of intelligence and intelligence is an indicator of good genes. And since women in our society have long been addicted to catching the best possible breadwinner for their future, a man’s good sense of humor is an important selection criterion for them. Men also highlight this fact, which means they’re always under pressure to have a good joke up their sleeve: the nicer the woman they’re trying to impress, the funnier they have to be.
Regarding Switzerland, the nationwide lack of humor can perhaps be explained: we don’t need to impress anyone, we do very, very well in international comparison. And perhaps it can be deduced why there is so much untapped potential for humor among women: society no longer claims that they are dependent on a person who makes a living, yet they are not treated equally. So women have a lot to fight for right now.
Women have things to catch up on – and they’re creating their own stages
And since no one – and most importantly SRF – is waiting for them, they build the framework for it themselves. By Finta * actually means almost everything that is not classically defined as male, accompanied by female cultural giants like Sibylle Aeberli (61), or the next time she’s joined by majestic actress and comedian Fabienne Hadorn (47) on March 30. And something is happening in Bern too: starting in April, there will be a Finta* poetry talk at the Visavis cultural centre. Perhaps those who move and shake the BAV will end up in one or the other of these events.
