I've surfed into it every once in a while. People have told me that I would like it. I guess that speaks volumes to my "sense of humor." My mother was British. I've been around lots of her friends, and have worked with some Brits. The vast majority are as House..."passive aggressive" is the term. To wit: My brother-in-law (Joe) was a fat man. He and my sister were visiting from out of town and one of my mother's British friends was at the house. Joe was laying on the living room floor on his back with his infant son laying atop Joe's stomach. My mother's friend (having never met Joe before) looked at him and said "The baby thinks he's on a water bed." Now, on the one hand it's humorous. On the other hand, who in the heck does she think she is??? Every smile is at the expense of another human being.
I love humor that makes me laugh so hard I cry. Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters could do that. Also loved Paula Poundstone and Jackie Mason. Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, and Vicki Lawrence on Carol Burnett were hysterical.
Steve Martin makes me giggle at just his appearance. Dick Van Dyke would pull one over on you.The very talented Lucille Ball. Abbott and Costello would make you think as you laughed. And probably too many to remember. Agreed with Conway, Lawrence & Burnett. I know that I am missing many.
One of my favorite people Podcasts, Videos and Movies | Bill Engvall His facial expressions along with his delivery line is excellent. Also Fluffy https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=fluffy+iglesias&cvid=f6cf637e1b9347bf8625cef735bc73f Bill is clean all the way - Fluffy drops a bomb on occasion but he is very talented in noises and expressions.
I didn't really find my type but I like humor in books and personalities on video. Lewis Grizzard being my favorite. I understand his southern humor being ,both of us are from Georgia. I also like Brian Regan and Greggory on video.
We really enjoyed the Brittish series ' Keeping Up appearences'.I just put uo a scene of Hiencith and her fine China a few weeks ago.
Your prior comment caused me to search for Lewis Grizzard. I had not heard of him. Poor bugger lead a short life. Heart defect and 4 marriages finally did him in at the age of 47.
Yes and it was a bad tooth that infected his heart and ended up killing him.He was visiting Russia and waited till he go back to USA to see a dentist and the infection got into his heart. His last book was touched in it alot" The Took Out My Heart And Stomped The Sucker Flat" Another oen was " Elvis Is Dead And I don't Feel So Good Myself". I bought all his books when he died in 1995 I think it was. I read several a few times.He also wrote for Atlanta Journal News paper. My girlfreind aand I had to stop talking we laughed so hard on phone we couldn't breath. She was saying shut up!Then fall back laughing again.
Me too thats why I like his books, they were all PG.I did see a couple of his videos that were a little off but not too bad.
Rodney Dangerfield was self deprecating. Topical, wit and observational would be George Carlin for sure. Surreal would be Monty Python which I just watched. Bodily is low brow to me. Slapstick would be The Three Stooges which I loved as a kid but not so much now.
