I also like lolcats, Father Ted, Daily Show, Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, sarcasm, silliness, randomness, and stuff like that.

I am also a fan of Benny Hill.

Fatricia and Feter

Ladies and gentlemen, 50 years ago Paul Finch, the famous short-sighted poet, typed his last poem on a machine which had been repaired by an equally short-sighted repairman. And he put the 'F' where the 'P' should be, and the he put the 'P' where the 'F' should be.

However, as it is his last poem, I thought you might like to hear it as it was originally written. Here it is then, Fatricia and Feter, the pinal foem of Faul Pinch. I think you'll like it.

Fatricia was just pipteen
When she pell in love with Fete,
He was pishing in the river,
With galoshes on his peet.

(He speaks first)

"Is the water deef here?"
"About pour inches," she reflies,
He fut his poot in pront of him,
And sank up to his eyes.

As he struggled to the surpace,
Covered prom head to poot, in muck,
She said, "That's punny,
It only comes halp way uf my duck."

She noticed he was peeling paint
So she griffed him by the arm,
He said, "Are you rich?" She said, "No, I peed myself
With pood grown on my parm."

Years fassed by and handsome Fete
Lept town, and so did fretty Fat,
She joined the metrofolitan folice porce,
Her polks were froud of that.

One day as she was facing uf and down,
She heard a strange cry in the street,
Someone was flaying a piddle,
In the gutter, there stood Fete.

She could tell by the look ufon his pace,
He was peeling broken-hearted,
He said, "I've lept my wipe, you know,"
She said, "I'd heard you'd... gone."

"Flease, flease, oh go away flease," he begged,
She answered him with smiles,
He said, "I've been in frison,"
She said, "I know, I've seen your piles."

He said, "At least I had pood in there
And over my head a roop,
If I'd have stayed much longer with all those men,
I'd have become a raving foop."

She held his hand as they were wed,
At the chafel of St. Fauls,
They honeymooned in Niagara,
And she held him by the palls.

They now have pour children,
And lipe for them is great,
You just can't fredict where it will foint,
That pickle pinger of pate.

British and SOME American absurdist comedy. See: Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Brak Show, The Mighty Boosh, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

ESPECIALLY Darkplace. That's absolute GOLD.

Marenghi: I don't think that any form of life, be it human, animal or plant, should be harmed in the making of a television show. So I personally feel very bad about the cat we killed.

What's red, slimy and crawling up your leg?

A homesick abortion.


Generally, I like comedy that's absurd, sarcastic, deadpan, often offensive, pessimistic, absurd et c. It's kinda hard to explain. In my own uses of humour it's usually either deadpan or sarcastic and more often than not quite dirty (in the right company).

For instance, the other day I was at a bar with some friends and my now ex-bf (it's a distance thing, not a hating each other thing) and I poured him a glass of beer from the pitcher we were splitting and I gave it a bit much foam. He looked at it and said "This is the one you're giving me?!" and I just calmly replied "Well, you don't usually complain when I give you too much head."

I'm a student of comedy in all it's forms. Laughter is God's greatest gift.

Something I think is funny? THat defines my sense of humor? Wow.... hmm...

That's a start. :)

Irony

According to my daughter and my ex-husband, I have none.

cynical and sarcastic.

Wes Anderson movies (Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums[sp?], etc.), lolcats, The Daily Show, stuff like that

Ironic, sick and twisted :)

Pretty much a little bit of everything. Though I'm not a big fan of bad-natured pranks and the like.

The following sentence defines my sense of humor:

If you think the waiters are rude, you should see the manager.

Provide something you think funny, or somehow define your sense of humour.

Mel Brooks.

Normal.

Frasier

Don't laugh

:sniper:

Witty, ironic, silly. My friends tell me I have a dry wit.

In truth, I appreciate satire and wit, but I love absurdity and farcical humour. My two favourite comedy movies are Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie" and Disney's "The Emperor's New Groove." The scenes with the dolls, Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee in "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory" had me laughing until I was cross-eyed.

I love Monty Python but it's become such an icon that I'm getting somewhat inured to the humour there. One can only hear "NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!" so many times before one yawns and looks for the door. When I watch it, though, it still cracks me up, but I don't laugh at the obvious quotable sketches and gags. It's stuff like Michael Palin on the moors, saying "Lemon Curry?", "Confuse-a-Cat" "Scott of the Antarctic/Sahara" ("It says in my contract, I fight the lion!") and Graham Chapman in an Army uniform complete with pink tutu saying, "Stop that!"

Hate crass humour. Don't even suggest Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell to me. Life's too short for potty gags.

Frasier

Don't laugh

Are you kidding? Frasier is my favorite sitcom of all time!

I like a lot of dry, sarcastic, or ironic humor, as well as a lot of dark humor. But then I also like stuff like Who's Line Is It Anyway.

Very dry sarcasm.

I second this.

*shrug* Try me, I could go for anything.

That Carrie Underwood song where she mocks her ex-boyfriends new girlfriend for being "white trash" while she herself is smashing the guy's truck with a baseball bad and praising herself for liking to drink straight whiskey.

Hilarious.

That and how every Republican who decides that the eradication of a particular sin is his raison d'etre turns out to be up to his eyeballs in that particular sin.

Dead babies.

Before He Cheats

" I dug my key into the side
of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats."

Yeah priceless!:p

I second this.

Well that's three of us.

Niles: "My opinion matters. And to think I owe it all to my small column"
Frasier: "That would be the Freudian interpretation"

LOL funny penis joke

:cool:

*shrug* Try me, I could go for anything.

The View.

A man walks into a bar with a wooden leg called Smith. I ask what the other one is called.

I really liked Rowan Atkinson's Black Adder series.

I like Schadenfreude, black humour, nerdy humour and so on. The BOfH was a great piece of humour. especially the 4 MB scene:

Back into Jimmy Stewart mode.
"Well, let's see, you have 4 Meg available"
"Wow! Eight Meg in total, thanks!" he says, pleased with his bargaining power
"No" I interrupt, savouring this like a fine red at room temperature, with steak, extra rare, to follow; "4 Meg in total.."
"Huh? I'd used 4 Meg already, How could I have 4 Meg Available?"
I say nothing. It'll come to him.
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhhH!"

My sense of humor is somewhat complicated.

I like slapstick...so long as it isn't too obvious.

I like "intelligent" humor...so long as I can get the joke.

Which means I like every kind of comedy from the yuk-yuks of the Three Stooges to the outrageous comedy of Monty Python to the parody of Mel Brooks to the sarcasm of Lewis Black.

I'm MUCH more clear on what I don't like...

...In this order:

3: Yo' Mama comedy

2: Bad Puns (if I can figure it out without thinking, then it's bad)

1: Toilet humor

...But for some strange reason, I still like Jackass...I don't know why...

I find a lot of things funny... I think I have a well rounded and developed sense of humor...

You, sir, have good taste. I agree with you on the Stooges, Python and Mel Brooks. I don't know about Lewis Black, but I like George Carlin, who's basically a sarcastic, misanthropic, bastard.

<3 George Carlin.

I seem to love form versus content humour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form-versus-content_humour), perhaps best demonstrated by BBC Radio 4s I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Sorry_I_Haven%27t_A_Clue#Humour). General surreality in any way is a good thing.

<3 George Carlin.

Yeah. "And now, in the interest of equal time, a message from the National Institute of Pancakes. Fuck waffles." :p

Family guy.

Also, I find it extremely funny when someone trips.

I have a very dark and dry sense of humor. It's pretty bad. I have to double filter just to keep people from thinking I am a psychopath.

My husband's sense of humor is the same only he is very pun-y so he can cover it up more.

I have seen my double filter not work before and people are shocked and disgusted......except for the people who get the joke, then they laugh, then they feel bad for laughing, then they act shocked and disgusted.

Sarcasm. About 50% of the words my close friend and I exchange are sarcastic. I've been told that it's great just to watch a conversation between the two of us.

Other forms are This Is Spinal Tap (people trying to sound smart but sound stupid in the process) and The Blues Brothers (just plain wackiness).

dry and deep thinking. word like freedom make me lafe becouse wene i think about them. i find a lot of theme tend to be falc. kinday like we aer not slaves. i find these funny be couse we are we wokr for money backe by nothing but faeth and thene have to paly tax's on it. and we see noting posetive out of it at list not here in the us. so now i say i'm a slave to the econamey.:upyours:

Futurama.

And, my sig.

The rest, certain conceptual realignments that i do on frequent basis here.

Monty Python

Fifthed.

I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur King! You and all your silly English "kniggits!"

What, behind the rabbit? It IS the rabbit!

And now for something completely different: a man with a tape recorder up his BROTHER's nose.

Hungarian: "I will not buy this record. It is scratched."
Tobacco store clerk: "Oh, no, no, this is a tobacconist's." (*Hungarian looks at him puzzled*) "Tobacconist's."
(*They point at each other as if the message were finally understood*)
Hungarian: "I will not buy this tobacconist's. It is scratched."

Mel Brooks.

Oh, YEAH man! I LOVE those!

From Blazing Saddles:

The fool's going to - I mean the SHERIFF's going to do it!
Horses? We can't afford to lose no horses! Send in a coupla n****** (*racial slur deleted*)
Send a wire to the main office, and tell 'em that I said (*gets hit on the back of the head with a shovel*) OWWWWWWWWW!
(*writing*) Send wire - main office - tell-them-I-said-OW! Gotcha! (*walks off*)
Howard Johnson's Ice Cream Parlor: 1FLAVOR
I also loved the "LePetomane Thruway" because Slim Pickens and his gang weren't intelligent enough to RIDE AROUND THE D*** THING! LMAO just thinking about it

From Spaceballs:
(*two monkey men like from "Planet Of The Apes" ride up on horseback and see Mel Brooks and Rick Moranis crawling out of Statue of Liberty*)

One monkey man: Spaceballs!
Other monkey man: Oh, s***! There goes the planet!

Knotthole Glade;12938952']I really liked Rowan Atkinson's Black Adder series.

I liked Johnny English, which starred Rowan Atkinson. That was a funny movie.

"May all your daughters be born with three bottoms" LMAO

Also, the "Soviet" reversal jokes I find on NS occasionally, such as "On Soviet Earth, oxygen breathes YOU!" That's why I decided to call myself "Soviet Houston".

I also like Abrahams/Zucker/Zucker movies, such as the "Airplane" movies:
"Surely you can't be serious!" "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."

I also like funny parts in movies that aren't intended to be funny, because due to the element of surprise that makes their funny parts even more funny. For example in Superman II:
Zod: "Come to me, Superman! If you dare! I defy you! Come! Come and KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!" (emphasis mine)
You would expect Zod to say something like "Come and fight me and we shall see if you really are 'super'!" But no, what does Zod say? He says "Come and kneel before Zod!" Yeah, like THAT's gonna happen:
(*Superman knocks on the door of the White House*)
Superman: "Hello? Is General Zod there?"
Zod: "Who is it?"
Superman: "I'm Superman. I've come to kneel before you."

And again, when Superman finally does come to see Zod, what does Zod say? "Come to me, son of Jor-El! Kneel before Zod!"
I find it side-splittingly hilarious that Zod thinks so highly of himself that he expects Superman to just come and kneel before him without putting up any kind of a fight whatsoever. Also by just standing there and saying that instead of immediately lunging at Superman, Zod foolishly gives Superman a few vaulable seconds to get away, leaving Zod standing there, basically talking to himself, commanding Superman to kneel before him.

Oh, YEAH man! I LOVE those!

I love his early stuff. Blazing Saddles, To Be or Not To Be, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, History of the World: Part 1,

anything after Spaceballs tho...

and who can forget Silent Movie... where Marcel Marceu had THE ONLY SPEAKING LINE in the whole movie!

Marcel Marceau: Non!

I don't really understand the soviet jokes,but the Superman stuff made me lol.
I forgot to mention Austin Powers.

What in the wide wide world of sports is going on here?

i remember taking a humour type test on the net one time... can't remember what i got. but i like Black Books, Spaced, Frasier, Scrubs, Father Ted, Futurama, Family Guy, old Red Dwarf, Bill Bailey, things like that :)

Anything that makes me laugh, really. And that's a bit! :p

Provide something you think funny, or somehow define your sense of humour.

Strange. Definitely strange.

I like Pratchett, Monty Python, Black Adder, and puns.

Epic Movie was so horrifyingly bad I think I kind of giggled once. Or sneezed. Not sure. Might have been flatulence, actually.
