THAT'S NOT WHAT YOUR MOTHER SAID LAST NIGHT, TREBEC!
Pretty much anything with Will Ferrell or Jack Black is guaranteed to make me laugh too.
*edit* Hushpuppy, What About Bob is a great one!!! I watch it with my kids from time to time and we crack up too! | |

I remember the Carol Burnett Show... So many episodes just made me laugh and laugh.
I loved the skits about the southern family... Oh the dysfunction...
I also remember the spin off of Gone With The Wind when Carol comes down the stairway with the curtains AND curtain rod included.... 
Many many moons ago, I briefly taught kindergarden. I was teaching about marine life. At some point, I asked a question: "What kind of "limbs" does an octopus have?"
A very eager young girl raised her had with all her might and she blurted out as loud as she could... drum roll please..... TESTICLES!!!
I will always remember that one... Priceless. | |

Posted: 1/17/2008 6:00:39 PM | My Dad cracks up my sister, Mom & me albeit unintentionally. He's 85 and has vascular dementia (a blockage of blood to the brain) so is slowly losing his memory & cognitive skills. Don't get me wrong, we aren't laughing at him, but if we didn't find humor in his words and actions we'd be a mess!
My sister has recently begun to record - for posterity - some of the things he's said or done. She recently emailed me this:
When mom and I bought purses and showed him, I said "look how smart some people are that they can make things like this" he replied, "and how stupid some people are that they buy them''
Gotta love it! | |

Posted: 1/17/2008 7:48:27 PM | Oh and this too... I don't know why, maybe it was just something in the air that day.
In any case, the first time I read this, I cried I was laughing so hard...
Don’t be a jerk to a vindictive person

For all of you who occasionally have a really bad day when you just need to take it out on someone!!! Don't take that bad day out on someone you know, take it out on someone you DON'T know!!!
-----
I was sitting at my desk, when I remembered a phone call I had to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered nicely saying, "Hello?" I politely said, "This is John, may I speak to Robin please?"
Suddenly the phone was slammed down on me! I couldn't believe that anyone could be that rude. I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. She had transposed the last two digits incorrectly. After I hung up with Robin, I spotted the wrong number still lying there on my desk. I decided to call it again. When the same person once more answered, I yelled "You're a jack@$$!" and hung up. Next to his phone number I wrote the word "jack@$$," and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills, or had a really bad day, I'd call him up. He'd answer, and the I'd yell, "You're a jack@$$!" It would always cheer me up.
Later in the year the phone company introduced caller ID. This was a real disappointment for me, I would have to stop calling the jack@$$. Then one day I had an idea. I dialed his number, then heard his voice, "Hello." I made up a name. "Hi. This is the sales office of the telephone company and I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with our caller ID program?"
He went, "No!" and slammed the phone down. I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're a jack@$$!"
(Keep reading, we're not through with this guy.)

The old lady at the mall really took her time pulling out of the parking space. I didn't think she was ever going to leave. Finally, her car began to move and she started to very slowly back out of the slot. I backed up a little more to give her plenty of room to pull out. Great, I thought, she's finally leaving. All of a sudden this black Camaro come flying up the parking aisle in the wrong direction and pulls into her space. I started honking my horn and yelling, "You can't just do that, Buddy. I was here first!" The guy climbed out of his Camaro completely ignoring me. He walked toward the mall as if he didn't even hear me. I thought to myself, this guy's a jack@$$, there sure a lot of jack@$$es in this world. I noticed he had a "For Sale" sign in the back window of his car. I wrote down the number. Then I hunted for another place to park.
A couple of days later, I'm at home sitting at my desk. I had just gotten off the phone after calling 555-4863 and yelling, "You're a jack@$$!" (It's really easy to call him now since I have his number on speed dial.) I noticed the phone number of the guy with the black Camaro lying on my desk and thought I'd better call this guy, too.
After a couple rings someone answered the phone and said, "Hello."
I said, "Is this the man with the black Camaro for sale?"
Yes, it is."
Can you tell me where I can see it?"
Yes, I live at 2104 East 34th street. It's a yellow house and the car's parked right out front."
I said, "What's your name?"
My name is Don H."
When's a good time to catch you, Don?"
I'm home in the evenings."
Listen Don, can I tell you something?"
Yes,"
Don, you're a jack@$$!" And I slammed the phone down. After I hung up I added Don H's number to my speed dialer.
-----
For a while things seemed to be going better for me. Now when I had a problem I had two jack@$$es to call. Then after several months of calling the jack@$$es and hanging up on them, it just wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. I gave the problem some serious thought and came up with a solution.
First, I had my phone dial Jack@$$ #1. A man
answered nicely saying, "Hello."
I yelled "You're a jack@$$!", but I didn't hang up.
The jack@$$ said, "Are you still there?"
I said, "Yeah."
He said, "Stop calling me."
I said, "No."
He said, "What's your name, Pal?"
I said, "Don H."
He said "Where do you live?"
2104 East 34th Street. It's a yellow house and my black Camaro's parked out front."
I'm coming over right now, Don. You'd better start saying your prayers."
Yeah, like I'm really scared, Jack@$$!" and I hung up.
Then I called Jack@$$ #2. He answered, "Hello."
I said, "Hello, Jack@$$!"
He said, "If I ever find out who you are..."
You'll what?"
I'll kick your butt."
Well, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now Jack@$$!" And I hung up.
Then I picked up the phone and called the police. I told them I was at 2104 East 34th Street and that I was going to kill my gay lover as soon as he got home. Another quick call to Channel 13 about the gang war going on down W. 34th Street. After that I climbed into my car and headed over to 34th Street to watch the whole thing. Glorious! If you want to watch two Jack@$$es kicking the cr@p out of each other in front of 6 squad cars and a police helicopter, I taped it off the evening news. | |

Posted: 1/18/2008 1:04:19 PM | The Naked Gun. I still fall over whenever Leslie Nielsen sings "The Star Spangled Banner."
The SNL episode back in 1997 with Kevin Spacey, when they did all of those "Star Wars 20th anniversary" never before seen screen tests--with Spacey playing everyone from Christopher Walken to Jack Lemmon to Walter Matthau. I found those clips on youtube last night and laughed my azz off.
Also love British comedy--The Young Ones, Red Dwarf, The Thin Blue Line, Blackadder, Monty Python.
Cheesy movies from the 80's-- Solar Babies, Ice Pirates., Breakin' and especially Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. It made the ghetto look like a happy fun place to live.
And the Wake Scene in "Scary Movie 3." I literally fell out of my chair in the theater when that came on. | |

Posted: 1/18/2008 4:57:03 PM | | I just posted a pic on my profile of something that had me rolling for days. This costume was homemade by my mother and I, we got a vintage suit pattern. To see my son walking home from the bus stop in this getup had me in tears! I hope all of my fellow Napoleon fans appreciate this as much as I did. | |

Posted: 1/18/2008 5:41:47 PM | The times I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe was the first time I saw "The Gods must be crazy" and several times my friend from years ago...... this guy had me in stitches every week, the guy knew exactly how to make me laugh and laugh till it hurt. I almost choked on sushi twice because he made me laugh while I was eating.
My personal comedian right now is my cat.... she makes me laugh every day. | |
