Subject: Tell Us, What Makes You Laugh?

Written By: Red Ant on 11/14/06 at 12:30 am

I should have started this thread on day one. What is it that you find funny?

I'll give my answers later.

Good question.

I laugh at other people's misfortunes. (Like when they trip on nothing etc...) Does that make me a bad person?

Sometimes I get laughing for so long that I forget what I was originally laughing at, but continue to laugh anyway because it just feels so good to have my funny bone tickled.

This is making me think - so I will be back with more!!!

I too laugh at other people's misfortunes .. like if some dude slips on the ice in the winter, or some lady trips on the sidewalk and takes a tumble.  I shouldn't laugh, but it's somewhat uncontrolable

One thing that made me laugh was something that I saw one day.  I was sitting in the parking lot of the library waiting for my mom to come out, when suddenly this person in a clown costume driving a car pulls into the adjacent space.  Naturally I looked over, just in time to see the clown pull a bottle of crown royal out of her breast pocket, and take a couple of swigs ;D

Cerebral comedy.  Comedy that makes you think about it first. 


It's easier for me to list thing that DON'T make me laugh, as opposed to things that do.

Karma to both of you for having a good sense of humor.  NOTHING makes me laugh harder than seeing someone fall down.  I can think about people I have seen falling down in the past and burst into hysterics.  I also enjoy it when people bump their heads.

Also, my husband makes me laugh every day.  He has such an odd sense of humor and says the craziest things.

Too true!

Great thread!

I like what I call "sophisticated humor", very witty. I also laugh just watching my cats be cats. I also laugh watching kids, too.

Blackadder also makes me laugh.  Never fails.  And House.  I know the show isn't a comedy, but some of things Dr. House says makes me crack up hysterically.

I've learned today that Shakespeare makes me laugh when he's trying to be serious. I mean... When you hear that your father's died, do you say, "O, by whom?" shouldn't you start crying and freaking out first? I don't know.

Um... Things that others wouldn't get make me laugh. *Shrug* When somebody just does something silly, and only you or a few people are around to hear it, it's a lot funnier.

There are soooo many things out there that make me laugh, I don't think I can list them all! :o :D

um....Vaughn, other random kids, my cats (most definitely), Mr. Bean, Bethany (most definitely), stupid stuff that others probably wouldn't think was funny.

Everybody says this. The funny thing is, they're all right.

It's almost as if there are certain jokes for every individual being.

yes. I mean, I am kind of odd. Sometimes nothing makes me laugh my butt off. Every once in a blue moon...I will just start busting out laughing and I cannot stop....I have no idea why either. :D

Okay...I'll tell you one thing that makes me laugh. Spoofs...of literary works and things like that. The other day I was thinkin' about one of my childhood books, and I did some Googling...and I found a site that spoofed it. I'll see if I can remember the URL so others can check it out.
