show me the funny
1. If I were to poll others, what would they say is the funniest thing you have ever done
I made a comment about a friend and an imagined posting on Craigslist. I am not going to detail the joke – due to readership – but yes, it is a funny joke and still in rotation in some form a month or so later.
2. like comedy? Who is your favorite comedian? Why?
Yes, I like comedy. As a teen, while most folks were building their rock and roll chops, I listened to comedy albums. Favorite comedian? Currently, probably Adam Carolla. From the past, Steve Martin and Lewis Black.
3. favorite funny writer
Sara Vowells
4. favorite funny movie
This is a big category. I think I will list a few: Blues Brothers, LA Story and Python’s Meaning of Life.
5. what’s so funny?
Pratfalls, physical comedy and well paced rhetoric, like the Marx Brothers. That translates in the modern age into reruns of Two and a half men. Tightly written it is like watching an old comedy from the 30s and 40s. It is better than you think, especially the first two or three seasons.
1. I have done some seriously funny business in my time.. So I will have to defer to my fans to pick an all-time fave. I’m sure there will be mention of forts, songs about the PS, and gas involved.
2. Lewis Black, Eddie Izzard and Ron White. Martin Demitri, if I’m in the mood.
3. Ambrose Bierce.
4. Office Space.
5. Fart jokes NEVER go out of style.
1)Crocodile hunter imression at work…
2)Brian Posehn, you tube him I love it!
3)Gary Larson. Dennis Miller, Al Frankin
4)Unable to choose one so: Caddyshack, Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, Animal House, Slap Shot, Step Brothers, The Hangover, Talledega Nights, Shall I continue…..
5)Uncomfortable comedy where you don’t know if you should be upset or laugh.
!. I have no idea what people would say about me but I’m sure it would be incriminating & humiliating for me.
@. My favorite comedian is Thom.
#. My favorite funny writer is Christopher Moore. Whilst riding the train & reading any of his books, I laugh like a lunatic.
$. My favorite funny movie is Mommie Dearest. Every single time I watch it I roar.
%. Everything in my world hinges on my mood so sometimes, slapstick is funny to me & sometimes black humor is best. Other times, nothing is funny & then WATCH OUT.
1) My various injuries, but specifically the scrotum impaling is a hoot.
2) Answering the questions in order here: Yes. Richard Pryor. Because he the truest of comedians.
3) Steve Martin. It’s how he started and it’s where he excels.
4) It is so very hard to go with funniest movie. Probably Star Wars.
5) Find the line. Cross the line and keep going. Now that is funny.
