While we all know that a funny joke is a funny joke, regardless of who says it, the name of this page did get me wondering if humor varies at all between genders. According to PsychCentral, the reason why men and women might sometimes find different things to be funny is because we often view humor in different ways.

“Although both sexes say they want a sense of humor, in our research women interpreted this as ‘someone who makes me laugh,’ and men wanted ‘someone who laughs at my jokes,’” Rod A. Martin of the University of Western Ontario explained. We all want to be funny and want to be around other funny people, but our definition of who is considered funny can vary.

PsychCentral also notes that women tend to share funny stories and take a narrative approach when trying to get others to laugh, meanwhile men are more inclined to use one-liners and slapstick comedy. Women are also more likely to use puns, wordplay and self-deprecating jokes, while men more often use physical and active humor. In fact, the way that men and women use humor tends to shift based on their audience as well. 

Northwestern University psychologist Jennifer Hay found through taped conversations that men are much more likely to tease and one-up each other when only around other men than when they’re around women. Women, on the other hand, tease men more than they’ll tease fellow women.

Carol Vallone Mitchell at HuffPost also says that men and women sometimes have different goals that they’re trying to accomplish when using humor. She notes that boys are often taught about competition and trying to be “top dog” from a very young age, so they might use humor to gain status or to knock someone else down a peg. Girls, on the other hand, are more likely to play games when they’re younger that build connections and necessitate working together. The way that we internalize these games from our youth can later impact how we decide to use humor.

Mitchell goes on to explain that men will be more likely to use jokes to subtly provide negative feedback or to “knock someone down a peg,” while a woman is more likely to use humor to break tension. They might want to provide comedic relief in a stressful situation or keep a running joke going during an intense meeting at work. Women are also less likely to use their humor to put others down, as they tend to utilize self-deprecating jokes instead.

IFLScience also explored what differences come up between what men and women find funny. Of course, there’s plenty of overlap. I can watch a comedic show with my partner, and we both laugh at plenty of the jokes. We can also send each other memes that we both find hysterical and enjoy the humor in them. But according to IFLScience, men are more likely to get a kick out of visual jokes while women prefer jokes that involve political commentary or touch on the dynamics of close relationships.

The lead researcher of the study analyzing which jokes men and women prefer, Professor Robin Dunbar of the University of Oxford, suggests that the differences found in men and women’s humor preferences come from the “remarkable differences in social style of the two sexes.”

“This explanation has previously been overlooked because psychologists and others have concentrated on IQ-type differences, which are minimal,” Dunbar shared in a statement.

At the end of the day, funny is funny. And many factors contribute to whether or not we’ll enjoy a joke, including our upbringing, if we understand the context of the joke, what kind of mood we’re in at the moment and who said the joke to us. I’m sorry, but if you’re under the age of 8 or over the age of 80, you’re just naturally much more funny to me. And nowadays, I think plenty of “men’s humor” can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone!
