Who makes you laugh?
 

I come to the Ledge almost daily and always get a good laugh. Who, besides our Ledgies can always make you chuckle?

Mine is Ellen Degeneres. She can always make me laugh. I love her style and presentation. I just love Ellen. :thumbsup:

Any of the Golden Girls...they crack me up - no matter how many times I've seen each episode - I still laugh out loud at them...

Ellen for sure -she's hilarious!!
George Carlin

Jon Stewart.

And Dave Attell. I have the hots for him. I like to listen to his CD, Skanks for the Memories (!) in the car. SO painfully dirty. I love it.

Painfully dirty?? That sounds worth checking out! :lol:

Haha!!
 

Who?

Well, theres always a laugh to be found on here somewhere..

Just this past hour I've been watching Jerry Seinfeld, very funny guy.. :nod:

If we are talking comedians then I also like (note, outside of the UK most of these will induce a "wha?" or "who?" reaction...) :

Billy Connolly
Eric Morecambe
Peter Kay
Patrick McGuinness
Ronnie Barker
Ricky Gervais
Rik Mayall
Adrian Edmondson

Wha? :laugh:

I also love the candid phone calls, radio hosts do. I was almost a victim of one. I listen to 99.7 KY a KC station. Anywho, my friend who I went to Vegas with new how excited I was to go see Ms. Nicks. So she set me up and sent all of our paperwork from expedia.com to Tanna. Long story short, I have called ID and if it says "unknown caller" I don't answer, especially early morning callers....which come to find out, that call was. I would have crapped my drawers... :p

Yeah man, forgot him too (for some reason).. Not sure about his qualifications as a comedian but he gets in as a clown in my book.. :nod: :laugh: :lol: :laugh:

Yeah told ya! With a bit of luck, and the help of the BBC, some of these individuals will be on your screens at some point in the future..

Quick question....my g/f and I are going to Vegas in March, ad we wre wondering if Rita Rudner would be worth going to see? Anyone catch her live shows?

If you're going to Vegas, you must see Rita AND Charo. ;) F*ck Wayne Newton, he should have retired ten years ago.

I'm familiar with these folks...
 

See, there ya go....Prime example of a Legde chucke. :)

- George Carlin (You've got to get his new book, "When Will Jesus Bring The Porkchops?" :laugh: )
- Jon Stewart
- Tina Fey (I love her :nod: )
- Stevie Nicks
- Myself (I always question why I'm so weird :laugh: )
- Mike Mussina (yes, the Yankees' pitcher ~ He's such a sarcastic ass to the media!)
- Ellen Degeneres
- Bill Cosby
- Whoopi Goldberg
- You guys, or course :nod:

It's pretty seriously nasty. You'll never look at egg nog the same way... shudder :lol: :lol:

That was a funny story about 99.7 KY- I'm from Kansas City, I used to listen to Tanna etc. occasionally in the mornings.

'Young Ones' fan, are we? I LOVE Rik Mayall; I have the DVD set of the Young Ones and as many times as I see those shows, Rik almost makes me pee every time.

Aside from him, hmm, who makes me laugh....Larry David, Eddie Murphy, Seinfeld, John McVie....ok, Chris too... :rolleyes: and who's the comedian, the older guy w/ the beard who talks really fast and curses up a storm....brain freeze. ..oh George Carlin!!! That's him.

Need I say more??? :thumbsup:

Nicely put dude! haha.

I must admit there are quite a few people on here that make me laugh.. Some of the dissention/amber/strandinthewind epics make me chuckle.

I'm not the funniest dude around here but Seteca and I did a humourous thread a couple years back that the more seasoned Ledgies will remember..

For those newer to the boards, here's the link....

Who doesn't make me laugh? Just kidding, but seriously, tons of stuff. I don't like slapstick much, or uh, stupid comedies? I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I don't watch Adam Sandler movies on purpose, and i didn't think spaceballs was that funny when i finally saw part of it recently. It was kinda funny, though. Cartoons make me laugh all the time, and cartoon books, i love them. And, once, I made people laugh, apparently. I was voted "Wild and Witty" my senior year in HS. What does that mean? well, i certainly wasn't wild, so that means i made the smartest ass "witty" comments all around classes and such the most of anyone, i suppose... :shrug: :laugh: :laugh: Lux gets me almost every time she posts. Also, various other ledgies, of course, are hilarious. (Jake, i miss you!) Marissa? Hi-larious. :D And brian j. who is over the edge, gets me every time.

Jack Black, Megan Mullally, Coral from the Real World (I could kill you with one of my boobs!), Sean Hayes, the whole cast of The Best Week Ever on VH1, Mo Rocca, ect.

The movie Stripes.
And yes, I'll admit it - Robin Williams.
Lucille Ball was one of a kind.
And I know there is gonna be hell to pay but Carne(RIP) used to have me in stitches on this board;)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE "THE YOUNG ONES" - "PISS OFF" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

My friends used to get SO stoned in college and we would watch that show on MTV. I think I would get high from the second hand smoke :laugh: Either way though, that show was HYSTERICAL :laugh:

Also, George Carlin is great!!!!!

I have to say that

Just about every Seinfeld episode. Gotta love The Sein. :laugh:

Neil: "Oh no, the lentils are running down the cupboard!"

Vivian: "Piss off, Neil!"

Holy crap, that show was pee your pants funny. Remember when (oh crap, I forgot the redhead's name - is that Rick?) pulled the tampon out of that girls purse & started playing with it like it was a toy mouse? And Lemmy Kilmister & Motorhead singing The Ace of Spades in the living room? Ahhh, good times...

Anyway, Dave Chappelle makes me laugh every show no matter how offensive/stupid/ridiculous he is. A blind African-American white supremacist? Genius!

Paula

:laugh: :laugh:

I also loved this, which I admit is obscure - bit - "I always wished my name was 'Helen' that way one could say she looks as if she's been to Helen back" :laugh: :laugh:

There are two shows on TV that make me laugh my ass off every week. One in Scrubs- a show I never thought I'd like until I started watching it this season. Anyone else watch Scrubs?

The other is Arrested Development. Is anyone else here watching it and loving it as much as I do? I think it's the funniest thing on TV...uh, ever. I was rewatching Sunday night's episode tonight and dying. Buster destroying the kitchen because he thought it was where the maid lived and throwing her favorite "toy" at her "car"? David Cross' Blue Man spying tactics from a couple weeks ago? Lindsay wearing a "SLUT" t-shirt to her father's wake?

Did you buy her Melbourne 2003 show on DVD? It's available in all-region PAL format.

I don't, but "Girls Behaving Badly" is a riot! On tonight's show, they did one segment called "A Room with a Loo," where one of the girls pretended to go into a dressing/changing room in a department store under the notion that it was a w.c., & she pretended to take a dump. I laughed & laughed . . . .

"At one stage, she even took her bra off!" :laugh: Wasn't Helen's real surname 'mucus'?

Oh my god you guys are making me want to go watch my DVD's, just for the silly quotes that stick in my head that really cannot be explained.....

"Vivian! You bastard! That's MY record player!"

or

"It's a video nasty!"
"It's a carpet, farty!"

Crazy Brits. :p

-Lis

YES! I forgot to add this one, I realized this last night after watching it. One of the few network shows I still watch - very quick humor, it's great Love Cox calling Newbie by a different girl's name every week.

I also enjoy 2&1/2 Men, Still Standing, Raymond & W&G.

Paula

Wayne Brady and the whole cast of "Whose Line is it Anyway?" I think the bald guy on there is the funniest. I watch it at least a few times a week on ABCFamily.

Also love Karen and Jack on W&G.

And Robin Williams.

I guess I'm a big fan of silly humor....
