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

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

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

Rik Mayall
Adrian Edmondson

'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... 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.

Not in order:
Woody Allen
Emma Thompson (when she wants to)
Stevie Nicks

John Lithgow
Monty Python
Rowan Atkinson
Diane Keaton
Nathan Lane
Louis De Funes
Jacques Tati
Totò
Steve Martin
Mel Brooks
David Niven

Yeah "The Young Ones" and their even more hilarious later show "Bottom" ..

Eddie Murphy is a funny dude, his early stuff is amazingly funny. As for the ever dry humour of John McVie, well, John is a top pupil in the school of English wit...

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... Lux gets me almost every time she posts. Also, various other ledgies, of course, are hilarious. (Jake, i miss you!) Marissa? Hi-larious. And brian j. who is over the edge, gets me every time.

[zinester]

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.

[celestenadia]

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
