What makes you laugh?

9 Apr 2007

Everyone has a sense of humour (apart from those that dont :undecided smile

Mine unfortunately includes human error, you know the sort of thing, someone falling over blah blah blah, but I also love it when comedians take an everyday mundane situation and dissect it for the humour content.
My favourites are:
The fella that does Jonathan Creek
Jack Dee
There's an Irish bloke with floppy hair who I love, but can't remember his name.
And I also Loooove Peter Kay....
What pushes your buttons and who?

Peter Kay.
The Young Ones/Bottom.
And people who aren't trying to be funny, but are.

Everything from old silent films, Keaton, Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy etc, right through to up to the minute cutting edge stuff. To be honest I don’t think comedy changes much as the years go on, other than some of the once subjects become ok and some of the ok subjects become .
Oh, and you have me in stitches sometimes, you are just soooooo Blonde. kiss

all of the above plus bill bailey...laurel and hardy make me laugh the loudest...but they person who coined the term "marital aids" as to be up there with them...it makes me smile every time i say it!!

9 Apr 2007

Alan Davies who did Jonathon creek Firelizard use to like him too shame he cut down the stand up to do TV work
DD - Dave Allen worship

For me Stand up: Jim Davidson (needs new material though) Jack Dee, Peter Kay for a few.
Sit com: Blackadder (2nd series is best), Men behaving badly, One foot in the grave.
Other: Also love watching people fall over and anything like Trigger happy tv, swag, Balls of steal, Scare tactics.
Read this kind of topic before theough and I still cant belive we get nearly one page and no one mentions LEE EVANS, the guys a God probably the best about sells out everywhere but never get a mention in forum threads.
Mrs Tweeky: Not really into stand up besides Lee Evans, loves Mr Bean and Bottom.

What makes me laugh, other peoples misfortune as friends certainly have a laugh at mine....I still get stick for the time I was walking home from school and a passing van hit me, tore the bag off my shoulder and disappeared up the road with all my coursework in...the teachers thought it was an excuse but thankfully everyone I know saw it happen.
Yep, 15 years later and they're still taking the piss ;-)
