As you may have guessed, I’m all about the funny, and as such, there are certain people—actors, comedians, commentators, athletes, even a few friends—who I think are absolutely hysterical.

For example, I’ve told everyone I know that I think Colin Mochrie is the funniest person on the planet. Period. I mean, just look at him!

He’s just a mischievous little imp, that Colin!

And if you have any question as to his ability to be humorous, I suggest you watch this, which is STILL the funniest clip I’ve ever seen on TV, and my friends, I’ve watched lots of TV.

At the end, Greg Proops (the guy with glasses who was not in the skit) sums it up perfectly: “Oh, I’m just so happy.”

So anyway, we were watching “30 Rock” last week, and one of the many subplots involved that old myth “women are not funny,” which of course, is ridiculous. From Lucille Ball to Carol Burnett to Tina Fey, there has been  …. uh … at least three women . . .. on TV … . who are funny . . .

No, seriously, we are in a wonderful time in history where television, movies and the interwebz are jam-packed with ladies who can make you laugh.

As a matter of fact, here are

FIVE HYSTERICALLY FUNNY WOMEN YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT

1. Kaitlin Olson – I will be the first to admit that “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” may not be as funny in Season 8 as it was in the first couple of seasons, but that in no way is a reflection of the effort put forth by Kaitlin, who plays “Sweet Dee.”

I would post entire episodes to demonstrate that she will do anything and everything to get a laugh, but that seems a bit excessive. Here’s a little tease …

Seriously, how this woman doesn’t have a shelf full of Emmys, I don’t know. As soon as I see Sophie Vergara clean up her own puke with her own hands, I’ll say she’s funnier. Until then …

2. Kerri Kenney – Connecticut’s own—born and bred in Westport—and the daughter of famed TV voice actor Larry Kenney (“Lion-O” from “Thunder Cats,” “Sonny” from Cocoa Puffs, “Imus in the Morning”), you probably recognize her—

—she’s been on “The State,” “Viva Variety” and “Reno 911,” where she played Deputy Trudy Wiegel. Lately, she’s been on “Chelsea Lately,” and has done guest shots on various shows. A terrific improviser who will do anything for a laugh, no matter how unflattering it may be.

The aforementioned Emmy Award winner Sophia Vergara’s character is pregnant on her show—call me when she does a scene like this, which Kenney did while actually pregnant!

3. & 4. Garfunkel & Oates – Riki “Garfunkel” Lindhome and Kate “Oates” Miucci (who you might recognize from “Scrubs” and other TV shows) are a musical comedy duo who are smart, funny and write incredibly catchy little ditties geared for adult audiences. A few examples [with lots of NSFW lyrics]: “Sex with Ducks,” “Pregnant Women are Smug,” “I Don’t Understand Job,” and “Gay Boyfriend.”

And my favorite [NSFW lyrics!!!]

“This Party Took a Turn for the Douche”

5. The Bloggess – Okay, now that she has a New York Times #1 best-selling memoir (and is working on a sequel, yay!), Jenny “The Bloggess” Lawson may not be quite as obscure as she once was, but I’m betting that lots of people probably never heard of her because they don’t read. And really, if you’re not checking out her blog or following her on Twitter, you’re missing out. That girl ain’t right, and that makes her incredibly amusing.
