9. I was watching old Roseanne shows last night.

You know, the sitcom from the 80’s and 90’s. It’s pretty funny and relatable. Too bad Roseanne’s such a bigoted douche nozzle now. Her shows used to have a lot of progressive themes.

[debm55]

11. Thank you Elessar Zappa. I remember watching her show in the early years.. then they won the the lottery and I stopped.

I wouldn't watch anything with her know.

17. I love the bit where she is in the mall, on the phone with her friend telling her she lost her phone because it is not

in her purse as she rifles through her purse looking for her phone. Her friend doesn't clue in either. LOL!

[Sneederbunk]

12. The jokes I tell myself.

[Shermann]

30. Nick Thune had a funny bit where he laughs onstage and says he thought of a funny joke.

Then he doesn't say what it was.

[debm55]

[Clouds Passing]

45. When my son was a baby, he had the best and funniest laugh, I would laugh with him

which would make him laugh harder, then I would laugh harder and on and on….

Makes me smile to remember 💚

[Diamond_Dog]

46. Oh I know just what you mean!

My youngest son was a laugher, he had a real hearty laugh as a baby. He made me laugh too. Just as you described.

[displacedvermoter]

28. Brent Terhune cracks me up

The Big Lebowski, Beavis and Butthead.

I am not very sophisticated.

[litwoken]

29. Mel Brooks movies,

Monty Python, Robin Williams, George Carlin.

[debm55]

32. Great choices, thank you very much, litwoken.

[no_hypocrisy]

33. The first 4 seasons of SNL

[debm55]

35. Agree and thank you no_hyprocrisy.

[Shermann]

34. Dark comedy cracks me up

The Evil Dead series invented slapstick horror, but this element was unintentional with the first one. Metalocalypse was a dark comedic cartoon that was great in many ways. Anthony Jeselnik is all-in on this with his stand-up routine. Black Mirror has some gallows humor.

[debm55]

36. Thank you Shermann

[lark]

37. Big Bang Theory

Total laugh fest!!

[debm55]

39. Thank you lark . Great choice.

[lark]

38. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

Mel Brooks made some outstanding comedies.

[debm55]

40. Thank you lark. Yes, Mel Brooks was a master of comedy.

42. Do you want a comedian or a comedy routine?

If it's a comedian, there are many candidates but I am going to vote for Sarah Sherman on Saturday Night Live, especially her back-and-forth with Colin Jost on Weekend Update. She is great in the skits she's in too. That woman cracks me up every time I see her.

If you want a specific comedy routine or just a single line, I am going to vote for this line from one of the all-time great madcap movies, Bringing Up Baby: "Because he knows where my intercostal clavicle is!" I'm not going to try to explain that line. You just have to watch the movie to get the context.
