Most people use a publicist to drum up PR for their book tour, but comedian Adam Carolla took matters into his own hands this week.

Adam made a highly controversial (and simply wrong) comment that men are funnier than women. The comic, who is promoting his memoir Not Taco Bell Material, gave an interview to the New York Post in which he claimed: "The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks." Say WHAT!?

Twitter EXPLODED with outrage after this story was released and some hilarious jokes were made by comedians -- male and female alike -- about the pure absurdity of his statement. Take a look at the response after the jump!
