What makes you laugh?

Slapstick! Gets me giggling every time!
?

That’s exactly what leaves me cold it does nothing for me at all

Would I lie to You is my favourite TV comedy show and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue my favourite on the radio. They manage to be funny without swearing too.

This was 8 years ago and still makes me laugh.

My children make me laugh, they've all got a good sense of humor and the grandchildren do too-

Oh, Bill Burr makes me laugh, he has live performances on Netflix, Let It Go is my favorite-

rosenoir that makes me laugh too.
BlueBell - it just goes to show how individual SOH is .
I also keep going back to some Pete and Dud clips.
And oldies like Lou and Costello :

And another one from the Goons which must strike chords here? :

Excuses for trying to divert the mostly depressing threads on this forum.

Lots of things make me laugh, but for sheer childish silliness...

Billy Connolly - went to one of his gigs years ago and my face ached from laughing so much.
Have I Got News For You - still does it after all these years.
Sarah Millican.
Sandy Toksvig on QI.
Clare in the Community - on Radio 4 Extra and in the Guardian (today’s cartoon is hilarious ... I wish I could add a link to it)
Some of the wicked humour here on GN makes me laugh out loud at times ... ?

This scene from Laurel and hardy.

Ricky Gervais

Shysal- I agree would I lie to you is brilliant.

Billy Connolly, Lee Evans.
I had a few laughs when watching a recent Sarah Millican programme.

Victoria Wood was good too.

Never found things like Goons or Monty Python funny.

Yes Victoria Wood, she's like this:
Pam Eyres - You should ask my Husband.
I tried to get the link but it didn't work.

Year 10 students (15 years old). They are so lacking in common sense and yet trying to be adults. They never fail to have me in stitches. Recent events have included:

Too much fake tan, resulting in a Tango effect.
'This glue stick's got pubes in it.'

GagaJo - I see your point.
I must try to keep up to date.
But I was born in 1936.


8gaga

Agree about Pam Ayres. She’s brilliant.

Vicar of Dibley

The Good Life

Would I lie to you.

Laughed a lot during the News Quiz on Radio 4 recently, but it isn’t always funny. Same with Have I Got News for You.

I used to love Round the Horne on the radio. As a child I can remember laughing until I was nearly sick at Laurel and Hardy at the News Cinema.

Monty Python, Goons.....No.

.

Maggie Smith

Why don't people like the Goons and Monty Python ?
Too 'classist' ?
Too intuellectual ?
I can't think of any reasons.

Erm ‘not funny?’
?

I loved 'Jam and Jerusalem' - a wonderful too short lived series and also The Detectorists.

Just different sense of humour Fennel I don't find them funny either.
For me its
Victoria Wood
Angus Deayton
Dave Allan
The Two Ronnies
Sarah Millican

I have to agree, Billy Connolly is very funny despite the constant swearing, his joke about he man who confessed to murdering his wife is one of the few jokes I can remember and always makes me smile. Dave Allen was also a very funny man and attractive too. Victoria Wood’s sketches and songs were very clever, such as Let’s Do It (not sure if that is the correct title). The Two Ronnies as well, we used to look forward to their shows. Yes The Goons were very funny, also early radio shows such as Round The Horn and Ray’s A Laugh. We used to enjoy watching The Young Ones when our boys were still at home and also Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were also very funny, Dudley had trouble keeping from laughing a lot of the time. Modern comedians leave me cold except for Lenny Henry and Peter Kay. I recently watched After Life with Ricky Gervais and it was a mix of sad and funny but I do like black humour.
