Oh yes, that's Amy Poehler totally copping a feel off Tina Fey's boob, while Sarah Silverman gazes wistfully off into the distance. These funny ladies of television are gracing the cover of Vanity Fair's latest issue, hoping to debunk the myth that women can't possibly be as funny as their male counterparts.
Accompanying the photos shoot is an piece by Alessandra Stanley, and chatted with each of the ladies for the piece. When talking with Tina Fey, the former head writer of Saturday Night Live said that the idea that women are genetically incapable of being amusing still persists, "You still hear it," she says. "It's just a lot easier to ignore."
But what can't be ignored is how great these pictures are. Down below is a group shot featuring (from left to right) Sandra Bernhard, Chelsea Handler, Jenna Fischer, Sarah Silverman and Wanda Sykes looking like the kind of ladies I'm used to writing about on a regular basis and who consistently make me laugh...but not on purpose necessarily.
More photos of the funny ladies after the jump.

It's almost creepy how much Sarah Silverman makes herself look lik Amy Winehouse?
Does anyone know who the others are supposed to be in that pic? I'm assuming Wanda is Naomi, only she doesn't appear to be beating a maid. LOL

T-Bone says:
Yeah - men STILL seem to have a problem with funny, smart women, whether they're attractive or not attractive. What is that? It seems it takes a pretty secure guy to love a funny woman.
