is still to come.


Oh, I've laughed hard before. Richard Pryor had my side hurting I laughed so hard, for one example. An asshole getting their comeuppance, for another.

But I like to think I'll laugh again and again, with each new laugh competing for the hardest.

It was a PBS show, we'd all toke up and someone would literally fall off one of the couches laughing every time. It was the most amazing show, so original and fun. I haven't ever watched it straight since then, it couldn't be half as good as I remember and I like having this memory the way it is.

Saw it in a theater on opening night. Our crew was well-prepared pharmaceutically. Can’t pick the exact scene that brought the biggest laugh, but it was sustained throughout.

I recall laughing so hard in the theater that I kept on missing lines.

However, that has not aged well. I tried watching it again a couple of years ago and gave up a half hour in.

Oh wait, that was just my imagination.

I think the first Porky's. I went 4 times with different people, and didn't hear every line until the 4th time.

Also Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds, Absolutely Fabulous, Austin Powers and both Borats.

Really makes me realize how crude I must be.

I did not get all the dialogue until about the 3rd time I saw it.

I heard the Curtis Mayfield song move on up recently and thought of the opening scene with guy getting lucky and ended up running naked. They couldn’t make a movie like that now!

OK, I was just a kid, but Inspector Clouseau had me in stitches.

each other laugh. Sometimes we could just look at each other and just dissolve.
