What makes you laugh? Page 4
People falling over. And being tickled.
Sarcastic, clever people make me chuckle until dribbles of sticky fluid shoot out my nose... also mad crazy hair of the facial nature... oh oh and the crazy thought filled ideas in my random ever thinking mind.. and banana's of course

Science and shit?
What makes me laugh?
Anything that tickles my mind.
Fat people in various situations that would be normal for averaged sized folk.
Programmes with John McCririck in it.
In stand-up I like comedians that make me think as well as laugh, for example Bill Hicks and Stewart Lee.
Sitcoms I like so many different styles, but I think my sitcom pinnacle would be Seinfeld and/or Arrested Development which are just amazing from every comedic point of view.
I also love Peter Cook, Chris Morris, Armando Iannucci and Peter Baynham.
Ah. He always makes me think of Balham...
Ha yeah. I just think everything Baynham says is funny (obviously when he's meaning to be funny, not if he's having a serious conversation), I've recently been listening to the old 99p Challenge radio shows and Baynham is the definite highlight of them. Iannucci is also very good on those shows.
Saturday BBC Primetime TV.
Stand-up Comedians when they were funny.
Sausages nailed to pieces of wood (or suspended from strings).
Sting.
Obese American Porn.
George Bush.
English people who complain about the weather in winter.
The Brazillian National Anthem.
The education system.
Two stupid people in a maze.
That's it for me. I'm a tough audience.
Failure
I love going to live stand up and I'm seeing Stewart Lee next week. Basically I like comedy that is cleverly crafted, not necessarily intellectual, but not just randomness or someone who just asks weird questions. That's not talent IMO. I like to feel that someone has worked on that joke.
Unless its reality TV where the comedy of truth stands out.
Peter Cook was the best.

I don't know anybody who's heard of Peter Cook.
Most teenagers that I know are in the "OMFG, Lolza, RANDOM, Boosh..IT CROWD, OMFG< LOLZA' stage.
