If there's anything in particular you find funny, whether it be mildly amusing or side splittingly hilarious, feel free to post it here.

I'm a sucker for a really thick (and fake sounding) Scottish accent. To me it makes ANYTHING funny. For example, in this Harry Potter parody I watched on the internet (wwwaaayyyy to rude to post here, but anyhoo) Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall are having an argument, and all of a sudden Dumbledore puts on a Scottish accent and says "PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL YA WRINKLY B*TCH".

:lol:


For whatever reason, I find it HILARIOUS.

People falling down never fails to make me laugh, even when it's inappropriate. I mean real people--fakey pratfalls don't work. Clever, quick dialogue (think His Girl Friday, or most Elmore Leonard books). And Happy Gilmore. I'm a simple soul. :)

You funny folks on here make me laugh about something every day, all the days. I like to start my mornings in the "Big Thread". And that thread Sig just started - Internet Potpourri - some good stuff there. I thank you all kindly for the levity.

The Birdcage is hands down one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Whatever you call that kind of humor gets me.

My own jokes, especially making jokes about my disability:facepalm:
My quick-witted friends.

Robin Williams z'l
Chats with my mum - for instance " What's the name of that film? You know, somebody looking for somebody else?"(sorry, I can't remember how to do the spoiler thing, but I'm sure you'll know the answer).
My mum's unique view of the world, " So-and-so looks like an old felt-tip". Nice

Jackie Mason

Wacky stuff like inventing additions for Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats - Depravity? Calamity?

Calvin & Hobbes.... wait, that's no longer being written.

Far Side.... ooops, no, it's gone.

Dave Barry... crud, he retired, didn't he?

Mark Twain, The Literary Offenses of James Fenimore Cooper. Sam Clemens is gone, but evidence of his brilliance remains. (For more chuckles, refer to The Awful German Language and for a bit of a Twain shocker, 1601.)

Robin Williams. George Carlin.

If it wasn't for Dilbert, I guess I'd have quite the taste for graveside humor.

Grouch Marx and his brothers.
Woody Allen. If you can check out his early stand-up. He looks so uncomfortable, but he's brilliant. Plus his earlier films up to about Hannah and Her Sisters.
George Carlin, Python. The only physical comedy that turns my crank is Harpo Marx. His was a subversive yet kind spirited zaniness.
