I find Dr. Who quite funny, and the cartoon Regular Show.

Oh, I could list so many people and things...

tumblr_lzrtqxjxtk1qaf8yc.gif I have an unreasonable love for Muscle Man :) My son's best friend looks just like him (minus the green skin and mullet); every time he comes over, I giggle :)

More funnies:

Little kids
Monty Python
Billy Connolly
John Irving
The IT Crowd
Bringing Up Baby (or pretty much any screwball comedy)

Bringing up Baby is a laugh right through the whole movie. Grant and Hepburn are great in that one (not to talk about the old lady and her huntingcrazy dinnerguest.)
Another fave is One-Two-Three with James Cagney as a crazed executive in berlin who loses his bosses daughter

By the way... That tiger (in BUB i mean) can tigers actually get that tame? I mean we're talking about days way ahead of animation. I find it surprising that Grant and Hepburn survived to tell the tale.

LOL! Yeah, they've been used for a very long time in movies, circus acts, etc., but their handlers always have to remember that they're essentially wild animals. I read a really good book about a woman who was a tiger handler in the early part of the century; she even slept with her tigers (and there was a hint that 'slept with' might be taken both ways--ick), hand fed them, had them from cubs...and eventually one of them killed her. Marge something... I really liked the book & now I have to try to remember the exact name (lol).

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.

Yeah, I forgot. The whole family has Monty Python and the Holy Grail memorized. Now, personally, I also think that Life of Brian was brilliant and hilarious and entirely undeserving of the "blasphemous!" label that was slapped on it.

Steven Wright is one of our very favorites. (I still use "but not in a row" frequently**.)




**Paraphrasing Wright: I went to a store that had a sign that said it was open 24 hours. The guy was locking up. I said, "I thought you were open 24 hours." He said, "Not in a row."

A friend really, really recommended the show. I turned it on. The daughter said something the dad didn't like, and he beat her till she was lying in a pool of blood. I turned it off. I guess I caught it at the wrong time, or there was some humor context that I was missing.

Life of Brian is the best movie they ever made. It is brilliant. One movie, not a Python but almost, that i found very funny was A Fish Called Wanda with Cleese, Palin, Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline. Very funny. Cleese as a barrister. Palin as a softhearted animalloving man that has infortunate incidents happen to him. And Kline as maniac american that reads Nietsche but doesn't really understand the point. (who does?)

I'm the same. I can't watch that show (with exception for certain small scenes/skits).
