I don't like any one race or look or type of guy. My tastes as far as looks go are very diverse. I like guys with scruffy beards and leather jackets, but I also like a clean-cut 'GQ'-type guy, so my tastes are very ranged among somebody who laughs at my dumb jokes, too. I have plenty of them.
I've always maintained that I don't think comedy should be reviewed. I think it's un-reviewable, because it is so subjective.
I would love to do a movie with Albert Brooks; we're so different, but I find him so funny, and I can be just as seemingly narcissistic as he comes off, the 'it's all about me' kind of thing.
I am serious, so I laugh a lot. You need to laugh. You don't laugh enough. I don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh.
When a person can no longer laugh at himself, it is time for others to laugh at him.
A man cannot make him laugh - but that's no marvel; he drinks no wine.
The problem with comedy audiences - it's like the Coliseum - when they see someone struggling, they don't feel altruistic towards them. They feel slightly repulsed by it.
I'm one of the people who actually laughs at everyone else's jokes!
When you say a friend has a sense of humor do you mean that he makes you laugh, or that he can make you laugh?
But as far as being popular, yeah, I think Dave Barry is really funny.
I know what people like, and fortunately they seem to share my sense of humor.
When I was a kid I went and saw Bill Cosby with my dad, and I remember sitting there and laughing so hard.
Every performer I talk to will, with different words, talk about the sanctity of a good standup show, how it can really feel spiritual. When everybody is laughing, fixed on the same thing, you feel like you transcend yourself.
I got a lot of support from my parents. That's the one thing I always appreciated. They didn't tell me I was being stupid; they told me I was being funny.
Eugene Mirman is the Andy Warhol of comedy. People look to him for what's next in comedy, and he emails these people back promptly. The Will to Whatevs put me in a great mood because I was laughing out loud. Alone. That's hard to do.
I do love standup. I love comedians. They're my community. Also, because I know so many of them, I know the value of them. I know what they can do.
The thing I have learned, especially in the Internet age, probably the easiest thing in the world is to declare that something is not funny. I mean it's not actually humor to say something is not funny, but it is viewed by a lot of people - and by that I mean mainly snarky young Internet men - as a kind of humor in and of itself is putting down other people's efforts at humor. And I don't care that much anymore about that because I know how easy that is to do.
All higher humor begins with ceasing to take oneself seriously.
Real progress will have been made when people don't care or even notice the color of a comedian when they'll just be concerned with whether he's funny.
I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.
Playing on stereotypes was meant to be humorous. If it doesn't tickle you in certain spots, it's not going to be funny. Falling down the stairs is a seriously dangerous thing, but watching it is HILARIOUS!
I think everybody would admit that we've got a sense of humor.
Even celebrities, most people have a sense of humor. Most of the people we meet who we've done on the show, like it.
I'm getting to enjoy the mentality of the British, the sarcasm, the dry humour. There are so many more ways of articulating yourself than in German.
A joke isn't a joke until someone laughs.
