"Funny" People Who ARE (funny).

[jswordy]

Larry the Cable Guy

(covering head with arms)

OW! STOP THAT!

[Lavender Brown]

1. Samantha Bee from the Daily Show

She cracks me up.

[jswordy]

16. The whole Daily Show is awesome!

And to think, I was living in Williamsburg while Jon was going to W&M...we probably ran into each other at basketball and football games...sigh....perhaps we were both in the mobs that used to crush Bruce Hornsby (a Williamsburgh native) asking for autographs when he came to games...LOL...not that I'm a name-dropper, mind you...but I dined in the same toney restaurant in Williamsburg with Johnny Carson, and saw Joan Rivers walking down a colonial street...etc...etc...

;)

2. Me! But looks aren't everything.

:D

3. Dave Chappell

[jswordy]

18. Dave's cool, and most of his stuff I find very funny...

...but some of his stuff is too hard-edged for me, kills my laugh buzz. I watch him, tho.

[jeff30997]

4. Jay Leno.

Just kidding. :puke:

[2bfree]

11. You scared me there for a moment.

Leno is the worst.

[MsAnthropy]

5. David Sedaris!

[Richardo]

20. Yes!

:thumbsup:

[hatredisnotavalue]

25. No lie

I was reading one of his books, the one where he details his job as one of Santa's elves. I was eating cereal and I starting laughing so hard I chocked. And then I kept reading it over and over again. I don't ever remember laughing that long and hard over the same thing.

It has something to do with the line at the ladies' room.

26. Steven Wright

I love all of those mentioned, but his one-liners are priceless.

Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark.

Here's one site:

6. Jon Stewart

7. Jon Stewart, Ben Stiller, Jim Carrey

[Emops]

8. *Sigh*, I have to agree with you, I like Larry.

[jswordy]

21. YAY-YAY-YAY-YAY!!!

You have to have a good sense of humor about yourself and your politics if you find Larry funny! We ain't his natchural stitchuency, ya know.

The funniest thing about him to me is, the guy playing "Larry" is a college-educated Nebraska native who is likely way more liberal than his character, from what I can tell.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

9. Kafka & Jonathan Winters.

[Blue Gardener]

14. I miss Jonathan Winters

One of the funniest people ever. He must be getting pretty old by now. Have to add Red Skelton to the list of funny people I grew up with.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

Yes, Red! And Sid Ceasar. And Oscar Levant!

As a kid I'd sit there going, Wow, you can be grown-up
and still be crazy as a kid!

[jswordy]

22. Good choices...especially since they have something in common...

Both suffered from depression, and their comedy came out of that like a flower from soil.

I guess I'd add Robin Williams...he has made me laugh a lot.

[Darknyte7]
