no stand ups have ever made me laugh tv-shows: ..well.. though these don't actually run on my tv, I guess they are tv shows... Excel Saga and Cromartie High. Films: These will probably be more, like, what's recently made me laugh... Ichi the Killer, The Life Aquatic, The Anchorman (though I have to watch it sober to know if it really would make me laugh), Total Recall was just on the tv a while back.. always cracks me up... I can't remember more... |

Film wise, I reckon National Lampoon's Vacation takes some beating. Also: Ghostbusters 1. |

oh, well... some things that i have found the most funny lately: tom goes to the mayor, the best show on wfmu with tom scharpling, the office (the real show, not the fucking american shit), , the colbert report, and the occasional messageboard post by funny ePeople. |

In regards to stand-up, I havent found any new material lately thats really good except for Aries Spears' set at the Ice House. Even chappelle's latest effort is hardly worth mentioning. I think Margeret Cho just came out with a new DVD. I havent seen it yet, though I doubt it'll be any good considering her last one. I think maybe Patton Oswald has new material out but I havent looked into it yet. |

I generally dislike stand-up, especially the "ha-ha" kind. Is there any other kind? yes. The only people to get me going are George Carlin (#1), Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce and SOME Mitch Hedberg and SOME Richard Pryor. movies and series - well, monty python obviously... actually: nothing surpasses them, I think. The whole of Flying Circus is pure magic. But I like some later Britcom too - it's just that most of it is pale compared to Idle, Palin &co. Excel Saga and Puni Pumi Poemi were hilarious anime. But I'm missing on so much right now! I breathe comedy: I can't rememeber every breath I take. National Lampoon made me laugh when I was 10. Did I use to be more naive and receptive, or just more stupid? |

I like to lisen to this radio phone-in in Liverpool called "The Pete Price Show". It's not meant to be funny, but when people ring in to wind him up (sort of like the radio equivalent of trolling) it makes me LOL to the extreme. |

Standup would be Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg and David Cross. Shows would be Mr. Show, Home Movies, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Extras, Futurama, MST3k etc. Movies... hm. Can't really remember. Ed Wood. But it's not just a comedy, it's a masterpiece in many senses! |

i'm pretty much in direct agreement with you except for the first two tv shows you listed, which i haven't seen. |

oh man, do yourself a favor and find someone with the UCB (upright citizens brigade) DVD set. it's amazing. |

David Cross is an excellent stand up. BUT, he has a real ego centric style which can be kind of annoying. He reminds me a lot of this drummer from Minneapolis, David King. King makes a lot of very funny jokes in between songs in what can be considered semi-stand up comedy, and it gets to be tedious especially when alienates his band members with jokes... Anyways, what I like more about Bill Hicks is that he seems to be not as confident and sure about himself and so it makes him go the extra mile with body language and intense shouting. |

I think Cross is best when he talks about politics, less so when it's more personal. although it's always funny when he gets really angry at something (for example, Evanescence). Bill Hicks is great, but he repeated a lot of material and ideas. but he was still quite young when he died, so who knows where he would've gone, materialwise. |
