Question of The Day. Sunday 18th of July

[Norachan]

Hello, easy question for you today.

Who makes you laugh?

I've got a couple of favourite British comedians. I like Noel Fielding, Bill Bailey and David Mitchell. My favourite American comedian was Bill Hicks.

How about you?

I used to laugh out loud at Erma Bombeck, the article writer in the newspaper, I was really sad when she quit. She just nailed everyday living and all its pitfalls!

My favorite comedian was Robin Williams. His improvisational skill was unmatched. He could also do drama and the bittersweet moment like no other comedian. He had a form of dementia called Lewy Bodies. He couldn't cope with that amazing sharp mind of his failing him and he committed suicide.

Gilda Radner, one of the original SNL comedians. I would roar with laughter when she did her skit of Roseanne Rosanadanna.

When it comes to stand-up, I like Jeremy Hotz (more of his older stuff), John Pinette (his "nay nay" bits), The Blue Collar Comedy Tour with Ron White, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Dunham....and many more that I just can't think of at the moment.
When it comes to comedic movies and TV, I love Melissa McCarthy, Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Rebel Wilson, John Cleese, Robin Williams....you know...I can't name them all...Almost every comedian has made me laugh at one point or another...even some actors that aren't "known" for comedy have their moments.
I'm just a fan of comedy in general, all forms of it.....well, not so much the likes of The Three Stooges, but some forms of physical comedy is great. I like the raunchy stuff like Amy Schumer and Sarah Silverman right down to family friendly stuff like Bill Murray and Robin Williams (I'm obviously referring to their "clean" stuff! Although the dirty stuff is great too! LOL!).
I love comedy that includes stereotypes, sarcasm, wit, one liners, actual jokes...even "Dad Joke" ones, observations, anecdotal, dry, dark, juvenile...all of it!

Trailer park Boys. Canada's greatest gift to the world. I also love British humor a lot. Are you Being Served is one of my favorite shows of all time.

Tim Conway would be the funniest American comedian...Benny Hill was one of my favorites and of course Monty Python.

Rick. I’m serious. There are times when we’ll be talking and he’ll say something that just takes me over the edge. 50 years and he still makes me laugh.

 

[muffy]

George Carlin, Wanda Sykes, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and Melisa McCarty.

Sophia on the Golden Girls (all the characters were funny but she was the best)
Michael McIntyre (as long as the language stays clean)
Steve Martin
