But that still doesn't explain why the women that are considered funny are not. There are still funny women even if fewer of them are funny compared to men.

If I'm being completely honest about it, I would say that It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is showing us the true nature of things. Dee is funny, but she is one among five. That's probably representative. Also, note that the comedy use with her is just different. It almost has to be more sophisticated than with the men. Dudes, frankly, don't like funny chicks that much. It's like having bigger biceps. No man wants a chick who can pick him up and throw him on the bed like a side of beef.
The joke with dee though is she's always the butt of the jokes whilst none of the jokes really apply to her. The whole thing is a parody on women not being funny and those that are must not be hot.

The whole men develop being funny to pick up hotter girls I can somewhat buy into but I don't think I've ever met a guy who doesn't like funny girls & the exact same applies for women. Maybe being a loud and confident girl is off putting to men generally but being funny isn't.
