The ineffable....What is "funny"?

As we start the new term with comedy, I wanted to start with the question of what makes us laugh and why? Simply post a TV show, movie, book, or comedian you find "funny."

  7. Some of these posts make me love this class...haha, everyone put such good answers!! Dane Cook is for sure my favorite comedian :) and Katt Williams is good too! I think Melvin knows my feelings on Jersey Shore...hahaha, funniest show ever and the best part is it's not considered "comedy" its supposed to be "reality", but you can't help but laugh through the entire episode. This is kind of a hard question to answer because if anyone find everything funny, that's me. But to answer the question...my favorite TV show to laugh at is Entourage. Oh, and Modern Family! I'm sorry, I can't pick just one thing that makes me laugh.

  11. Katt Williams, though a bit vulgar, is hillarious!!! However, too many people have used him. I will be different and say Tyler Perry movies! :)

  14. This is Travis

    Ilvens Tyler Perry's movies are not funny
    It's his plays that you find entertaining. Just because they are on DVD doesn't make them a movie. Knowing the type of production is important in this class. Welcome to AP NEWBIE!
