There were only about five total women I really find funny from both lists, but I did vote five from each. ---

> [@Invisible\_Chimp](#): > > There were only about five total women I really find funny from both lists, but I did vote five from each. Good work. There do appear to be quite a few whose getting mentioned was about the extent of their popularity at SDMB. Not all that big a surprise but nice to know. I have to suspect that there is some master list of maybe 50-100 active comics (of all persuasions) that would get reasonable votes in the right poll. It’s just a matter of getting that master list together. ---

There aren’t 5 on this list who are funny. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > There aren’t 5 on this list who are funny. I trust you voted for the less-than-five that are? What’s so cool is that this poll has 25 voters as compared with the 30 in the other prelim poll. I take that to suggest that others may share your lack of enthusiasm for this particular slate. ETA: updated voter count to 25 ---

> [@silenus](#): > > There aren’t 5 on this list who are funny. Actually, most of them are really funny. Some are side-splittingly funny, certainly the five I voted for. Plus, some have a secret weapon …[Iliza Shlesinger demonstrates](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSyQ46Rf3tU)15 seconds in. ---

> [@Zeldar](#): > > I trust you voted for the less-than-five that are? Yep. You’d think that the kids at the end of the alphabet would be the class clowns, vieing for attention their un-alphabetically-challenged peers got, but this list seems to say different. ---
