LOS ANGELES, CA – In a development that has left scientists baffled and male comedians clutching their metaphorical pearls, a local woman, Sarah Fontaine, has managed to perform a stand-up routine that elicited laughs without a single reference to her nether regions.
“It was like a unicorn sighting,” said audience member Harold Stein, still visibly shaken. “One minute she was talking about her struggle with online dating, the next, everyone was… laughing? At jokes about, you know, actual topics?”
Fontaine’s routine, titled “Netflix and Chill? More Like Netflix and Cry,” focused on the trials and tribulations of modern dating, navigating passive-aggressive roommates, and the existential dread of laundry day. While some audience members initially braced themselves for the inevitable “vagina monologue,” it never came.
“It was honestly refreshing,” admitted comedian Chad Brogan, who opened for Fontaine. “Usually, I have to follow acts where the punchline is basically, ‘Isn’t having a vagina hilarious?’ It’s nice to see someone actually try new material.”
Fontaine, a seemingly unassuming woman with a dry wit and a penchant for self-deprecating humor, remains unfazed by the commotion. “I just tell jokes about things I find funny,” she shrugged. “Apparently, that’s revolutionary in the female comedian landscape.”
The scientific community is scrambling to understand this anomaly. Theories range from a glitch in the comedy matrix to a potential mutation in the “funny bone” specific to female comedians.
“This could be a major breakthrough,” said Dr. Amelia Peters, a leading researcher in comedic evolution. “If we can understand how Ms. Fontaine achieved humor without resorting to tired tropes, we could potentially unlock a whole new era of female stand-up.”
Meanwhile, male comedians are reportedly in therapy sessions, re-evaluating their entire comedic repertoire. Several have been spotted lurking outside comedy clubs, desperately whispering, “Wait, what else do women even talk about?”
Only time will tell if Fontaine’s achievement will inspire a new wave of female comedians unafraid to explore the vast comedic landscape beyond the confines of their anatomy. However, one thing is certain: the world is now officially on notice – women can be funny, and it doesn’t have to involve tampons.
