THAT guy is funny!

How many have even heard of him? I saw him on cable about 4 years ago, and was rolling!

Beavis and Butt-head, Married with Children, Simpsons, "Johnny Toothpick" (Italian movie), ummm.... i guess some Chris Rock's stand up comedy.

I also found the drill sgt scene from Full Metal Jacket funny.. but the overall movie wasn't. I will update my post once I think of things that I like.

-Classic SNL humor from the late Seventies is truly special.

-The Blues Brothers (and none of the crappy sequels). John Belushi is disgustingly funny.

-Animal House. The blueprint for all the lame college movies of today (Van Wilder, etc)

-The look on a ricer's face when I approximate the 0-60 time of a Volvo 740 turbo tested by Car and Driver in 1990. 7.2 seconds, beyaatch!

-1941. Another overlooked classic movie, with Belushi.

-CKY, CKY2K, and CKY3. The basis for the Jackass movie (which is a lame copy of a sublime original).

-Greenpeace activists "Got a minute for Greenpeace?" "You don't want a minute of my time, you want a contribution. Be honest."

-Sam

Puns! As in:

Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at them and says, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

Dilbert always cracks me up, as I work for a large corporation.

I also loved Gary Larson's stuff

Picture this, Southern tip of South Padre Island, just leaving the restaurant when dufuss proclaims "my lips feel funny". We get in the van, me driving, and before we can get to the causeway he is ballooning big time, his lips looked like the fat lip scene from Eddy Murphy's "Nutty Professor".

Anyone who knows the causeway coming off S. Padre knows it climbs and turns at the same time. Now I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. The harder I laugh the faster I drive and the more I tear up, causing my eyes to slam shut. We make it across the causeway without crashing, so now I'm laughing even harder, one of my passengers has started taking pictures, so the laughing continues.

I was driving well over 100 mph, trying to get this guy to the hospital in Brownsville, something like 35 miles away, just laughing my a$$ off. There is no way I would have been able to convince a trooper that I hadn't been drinking if we'd have been stopped (truth is I only had Coke with chow, no alcohol at all that day).

Best part was, once we get him to the hospital, the lead nurse comes out to triage him, takes one look at him and she's laughing hard enough to draw tears too!!!

Durn tooting I was laughing at him.

I think I would get along well with Mike, If this were my friend I would be laughing like crazy. As a matter of fact last night was our christmas party for work. A friend of mine accidentally elbowed my other friend in the eye. Within a matter of minutes his eye was swollen like crazy and looked like there was a marble underneath his eyelid. I was dieing but so was he so that made it ok...

Also, to give you further understanding I think Chris Tucker is the funnies comedian ever... I like comedians that can make you laugh without ever actually saying a word.

Tee shirts I wear to work:
"Mentally confused and prone to wandering"
"Tact is for people not witty enough to be sarcastic"
"Your village called and they want their idiot back"
"funny, you don't look stupid"
"I used to ride the short bus"
Not PC, but lightens things up at work

The Winners are:
- Steven Wright's little movie (about 20 minutes long)
- Firesign Theater's "Waiting for the Electrician" (now on CD)
- Kevin Nealon's first televised bit ("The most important thing . . .")

Honorable Mention:
- Groucho Marx
- Robin Williams
- Paul Shanklin (sort of a Weird Al with a political bent)

Not funny in my book:
- Most outtakes, flubs, and men getting hit in the balls
- Three Stooges

Common threads: clever word play with deadpan delivery

Here's one we may have overlooked - Gallagher, he makes you laugh at yourself while telling it like it is.

One of my old t-shirts had a university emblem, "Psychotic State"

You would have to see my entire family in action, we had a reunion in April '02 and I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

A crusty old Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event, hosted
by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely
young, idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the
Sergeant Major for conversation.

She said, "Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very
Serious man. Is something bothering you?"

"Negative, ma'am," the Sergeant Major said, "just serious by nature."

"The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, "It
Looks like you have seen a lot of action."

The Sergeant Major's short reply was, "Yes, ma'am, a lot of action."

The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said,
"You know, you should lighten up a little. Relax and enjoy yourself."

The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner.

Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't
take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?"

The Sergeant Major looked at her and replied, "1955."

She said, "Well, there you are. You really need to chill out and
quit taking everything so seriously! I mean, no sex since 1955! She
took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to
"relax" him several times.

Afterwards, and panting for breath, she leaned against his bare
Chest and said, "Wow, you sure didn't forget much since 1955!"

The Sergeant Major, glancing at his watch, said in his matter-of-
Fact voice, "I hope not, it's only 2130 now."

1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against
the sorry bastard who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you finally got laid.

4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much
worse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.

7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again.
I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

9. This is my oath..... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask;
"because
you are my friend".

I like it dry with tacit segways and allusions......when I get it.
