The next time you hear someone say that women aren't funny, may we suggest that - after laughing and patting them gently on the head - you direct them to this page.
Because this International Women's Day, we've put together a slideshow of just 150 reasons why women are funny. And they're all the women below.
Yes, we asked our colleagues at Huffington Post UK, we asked our @HuffPostUKCom Twitter followers, and we dug deep and asked ourselves: Who are your all-time favourite funny women? And so was born the gallery below - which is just the tip of a very funny, female-shaped iceberg, of course.
Whether they're comedians, comedy actresses or writers, many of the women below were groundbreaking - and the success of all of them is inspiring.
Click through our gallery - which is in no particular order - and tell us who'd make your list in the comments below. (And in case you're wondering why there aren't 150 slides: that's because the gallery features three double acts. ZING!)

And while we've got you: also check out these great funny quotes by women about being a woman. Well, it is International Funny Women's Day, of course...
Funny Women: On Being A Woman
Gilda Radner(01 of38)
"I'd much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they're the first to be rescued off sinking ships."
Shelley Winters (02 of38)
"I have bursts of being a lady, but it doesn't last long."
Jane Austen(03 of38)
"A woman especially, if she have the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can."
Roseanne Barr (04 of38)
"Women complain about PMS, but I think of it as the only time of the month when I can be myself."
Audrey Hepburn(05 of38)
"Make-up can only make you look pretty on the outside but it doesn't help if you're ugly on the inside. Unless you eat the make-up."
Sarah Millican (06 of38)
"Big girls don't cry? Yeah, they do. They cry 'cos they're fat, they cry 'cos they can't get a boyfriend, and they cry 'cos there's no trifle left."
Katharine Hepburn (07 of38)
"Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then."
Nora Ephron(08 of38)
"I have made a lot of mistakes falling in love, and regretted most of them, but never the potatoes that went with them."
Tina Fey(09 of38)
"Here's the truth: there is an actual difference between male and female comedy writers. The men urinate in cups. And sometimes jars."
Bette Davis (10 of38)
"I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box."
Zsa Zsa Gabor(11 of38)
"I want a man who's kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?"
Dorothy Parker(12 of38)
In response to a letter from her editor asking for more stories during her honeymoon: "I've been too fucking busy - or vice versa."
Cher(13 of38)
"The trouble with some women is they get all excited about nothing - and then they marry him."
Phyllis Diller(14 of38)
"The reason women don't play football is because 11 of them would never wear the same outfit in public."
Virginia Woolf(15 of38)
"For most of history, Anonymous was a woman."
Carol Burnett(16 of38)
"When I was growing up in Hollywood, I thought you had to look like Betty Grable or Tony Curtis to get anywhere in showbusiness. But I never worried about my looks too much. Some people said I looked like Tony Curtis."
Maria Bamford(17 of38)
"I used to be afraid of relationships. Somebody would ask me out and I'd say 'Just take my purse, don't hurt me.'"
Simone de Beauvoir(18 of38)
"This has always been a man's world, and none of the reasons that have been offered in explanation have seemed adequate."
Victoria Wood(19 of38)
"All my friends started getting boyfriends, but I didn't want a boyfriend, I wanted a thirteen-colour biro."
Rita Rudner(20 of38)
"Some people think having large breasts makes a woman stupid. Actually, it's quite the opposite: a woman having large breasts makes men stupid."
Gloria Steinem(21 of38)
"I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career."
Kristen Wiig(22 of38)
"It's 2011. Women do that stuff... Women swear. Women get drunk. Women pass out in their own vomit."
Sarah Silverman(23 of38)
"I don't care if you think I'm racist, I just want you to think I'm thin."
Lucille Ball(24 of38)
"The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age."
Sophia Loren(25 of38)
"Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got."

Joan Rivers (30 of38)
"I don't exercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor."
Eleanor Roosevelt (31 of38)

Whoopi Goldberg (32 of38)

George Eliot(33 of38)
"I'm not denying that the women are foolish: God Almighty made them to match the men."
