I mean the title does sound a bit flippant, but I started to think about what characters I’ve read that made me laugh, and a lot of them are in a guy’s pov.
Female characters are funny don’t get me wrong, but oftentimes with a dry wit, sarcasm, or funny m out of an outrageous situation where they freak out or have some snappy comment.
Has anyone experienced this before, or am I a bit under read and crazy?

Terry Pratchett has quite a few different female pov characters that are funny in different ways
The Locked Tomb series is great, as is Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
I found the main characters in Big Swiss by Jen Beagin and Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman consistently funny
True Grit from Mattie Ross’s perspective is hilarious.
Its from way back in the 70’s but The Pumpkin Eater is hilarious.
Rachel Cusk has hilarious female characters.
Alice Thomas Ellis as well.
Diplomatic Baggage
A lonely broadcast by Kel Byron
Darynda Jones writes some very funny women, imo. Charley Davidson in First Grave on the Right will get you started.
