Might be something to this actually
Being funny has it's advantages from an evolutionary standpoint. You're more attractive to females, you can diffuse confrontations/fights, you're more likely to lead other men if you're funny and personable, and if you pass those traits on to your children you're more likely to secure the future of your bloodline. That's just one strategy to produce offspring.
So if you aren't athletic, super handsome, tall, have access to resources, a complete psychopath, or are extremely talented in some other way then being funny is your only fall back plan. If women are physically attractive and good at nurturing their children that's more than plenty to secure a good mate.
