Where would we be without humour?

Oh I like Mandy too. I always think of when she lit her fag in the toilets and her hair got caught in the fan

Victoria Wood
"Where's my Clint?" still makes me giggle

Love*

Many that have been mentioned, particularly Victoria Wood. I live a thing with Diane Morgan, so looking forward to Ann Droid BBC 1 9.30 tomorrow.

Political correction or whatever it is called, killed most of it off for me.

I recommend the Bob Mortimer books too if you like daft

There will never be another Victoria Wood

Newman and Baddiel, Ed Byrne, Dara O'Brien, Jack Dee x2, Russel Kane x2, Tom Davies, Dave Gorman, John Cooper Clarke, Jason Manford, Harry Hill...I've definitely seen more but my brain isn't functioning properly

We had planned to see Harry Hill with two of our boys but one had to drop out so the one boy brought his partner. She has never seen Harry Hill at all (!!) anyway...she was completely gobsmacked throughout the complete performance as we laugh like drains. She split up with him not soon after I think she thought we were all barking

I tell you who is good, someone called Jeff Innocent. He supported Jason Manford and he was SO funny.

I also love Father Ted I love fools and horses though and some of the other cancelled stuff. Like Gavin and Stacey, Mum, Friday Night dinner, gosh there really is too much to list.

For me HIGNFY, Monty Python and Fawlty Towers oh dear aren’t I old!
I do like Alan Carr.

Karen Dunbar; I'd never heard of her until my ex showed me some of her comedy.

I laugh at most mentioned above. Love Wallace and Gromit too.

Yes, me too.

Father Ted never fails to make me laugh out loud no matter how many times I watch the same episodes on repeat.

Les Dawson.

Victoria Wood, of course!

Golden girls, Billy Connolly, Harry Enfield, Still Game, Carry On Films (and Kenneth Williams)
Bottom, Life Of Brian, The two Ronnies, Hale and Pace, Alas Smith and Jones.
Sean Locke, Who's Line is it Anyway....
So many!'

Round the Horne. How they got away with it, I’ve no idea.

I generally prefer British humour to American humour but the film "The Odd Couple" with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau is a masterclass in comedy acting.

I find quite a few of the recent stand ups funny but there seem to be so many of them. Some of them only seem to appear on celebrity quiz and game shows.

I miss the old sketch shows like "Not the Nine O'Clock News" and "Little Britain." I never "got" Morecambe and Wise, Jim Davidson or Miranda Hart.

Still love Frasier and Cheers. Cracking american humour.
Loved Ab Fab at the time and laughed along with DD1 and DD2 which made it even more fun.
Laughed with DH at the Two Ronnies and with DM and DF at Morecombe and Wise.
Its good to share the laughter.

Victoria Wood and Bill Bailey - both very clever as well as being funny. Have seen them both live and come away with my face aching.
And going back a long time Joyce Grenfell ("George, don't do that")

All of those, Cossy.

I would add ISIHAC, Sarah Millican’s observational comedy, Joe Lycett (his letters of complaint crack me up), Miles Jupp, Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer fishing (and Bob on WILTY), Richard Ayoade, Henning Wehn. I miss Sean Lock.

Someone I find very funny, although not a dedicated comedian, is Hugh Grant especially on Graham Norton’s show. Some great clips on YT with Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson.

I loved Sean Lock, d you recall his version of “The Tiger who came to tea”
(The Tiger who had a pint”)

DH and I re-watched it on u-tube and laughed and laughed!!!

How could I forget Bob Mortimer on WILTY! I took his novel, The Satsuma Complex, on holiday last year and it was very funny, I could hear his voice in every line.

Humour died in the last century. None of the modern comedies amuse me one little bit.

Humour is so personal, it may be that “modern” comedy doesn’t meet your criteria of what’s funny?

I love to watch the re-runs. I could happily watch an entire series again and then again.

Thank you (all) for reminding me of Monty Python, how could I possibly have forgotten this is beyond me!

Life of Brian (he’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!)

The ministry of silly walks, the dead parrot sketch, the Spanish Inquisition, I’m a Lumberjack.

Thank you
