#240076 - Fri Aug 20 2004 06:20 PM Shows That Make You Laugh Out Loud
pinkster Explorer Registered: Thu Aug 19 2004 Posts: 74 Loc: U.S.A	Along time ago there were not a very big selection of t.v shows. Now days, we have more than 100 different channels. Shows that make you cry, shows that give you nightmares, and my favorite, shows that make you laugh. What shows make you laugh so hard that you cry?

Four actors improvise scenes that they have never heard before, with hilarious results. _________________________ Hardware: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.

It's not scripted and I'm always amazed at how they come up with that stuff so quickly! _________________________ "The best teacher is not the one who knows most but the one who is most capable of reducing knowledge to that simple compound of the obvious and wonderful." ...

jonimacaroni Enthusiast Registered: Sat Feb 14 2004 Posts: 201 Loc: Ontario Canada	Whose Line is number one with me, both the American and British versions. Too bad only reruns are available, but they still crack me up Just remembered last year, during the black out, my kids did the "Props" thing to amuse ourselves. We used flashlights for spotlights and grabbed whatever for props. It was a lot of fun .

When Bobby Hill said this week (but quite possibly a really old episode) "Spoons? Can I assume the potatoes will be mashed tonight?" I've never laughed so hard.

The old Carol Brunet show, when the cast themselves would start to crack-up. I remember watching that as a kid and quite literally rolling in the floor. _________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons if you are crunchy and good with hot sauce

I really have enjoyed that series over the years! _________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

root17 Mainstay Registered: Sun Jul 16 2000 Posts: 736 Loc: Rochester New York USA	I loved Benny Hill. Sadly, he's now gone except for occasional reruns. The old Carol Burnett show used to crack me up--that sketch with Tim Conway as a bumbling dentist who sticks himself with a Novocaine shot is a classic. _________________________ Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans -- John Lennon

LittleWoman2 Forum Champion Registered: Wed Aug 11 2004 Posts: 5659 Loc: Alabama USA	There are a lot of Carol Burnett sketches that are hilarious to me as well! I love the family sketches, with Eunice, Ed, and Mama. I also love the movie and commercial parodies they did. Ingenious. Especially "Went With the Wind." I can't watch that episode without laughing till I nearly cry!

Comedy like that withstands the test of time and is as funny today as it was back then. Those guys were comedic geniuses. _________________________ [color:"purple"]"Buy a jumbo jet And then bury all your clothes Paint your left knee green Then extract your wisdom teeth." [/color]

live4trivia Prolific Registered: Wed Jan 28 2004 Posts: 1503 Loc: Canada	Well, the show "Just For Laughs" always tickles my funny bone. As well as "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" and as people have mentioned before, "Who's Line". These shows were spectacular. I love getting a good laugh. Two Thumbs Up.

I keep finding myself going back and watching the DVDs over and over again. 'Fawlty Towers', 'Friends' and 'Futurama' also make me laugh every time I watch them. _________________________ 2[color:"red"]0 LE[/color]GEND

The royle family is a superb sitcom and has had me in stitches.

chris42 Forum Adept Registered: Fri Nov 28 2003 Posts: 174 Loc: The Netherlands	The thing that grates with me concerning American comedy is that there always has to be the 'moral' at the end. Also are all American living rooms the same size as football pitches? I'm trying my best not to be biased here but I find classic British comedy sharper, wittier and just better written. To all my American friends here..please disagree with everything that i've just written! _________________________ The meek shall inherit the Earth. But only when the strong let them.

It would have to be The Simpsons, although Futurama, Fawlty Towers and Red Dwarf are very funny aswell.

It surprises me the number of adults who love the Simpsons. I've watched more than a few episodes (my ex-husband loved it) and I have to say that I don't find it a bit funny that the children on this show have absolutely no respect for the adults. I know I sound like an old fuddy-duddy when I say this, but I think it's shows like this why we have the problems in today's society where people have no respect for others. However, there have been instances when I've watched where I have found certain storylines humorous. I do agree, though, that most American shows are not funny; they are merely stupid. Most are mind-boggling, mind-numbing, idiotic shows that insult most people's intelligence. But...I also have to say that I loved the series "Friends". That's about the only show in which I actually laughed out loud. Quote: I'm trying my best not to be biased here but I find classic British comedy sharper, wittier and just better written. To all my American friends here..please disagree with everything that i've just written! I've only seen two British TV comedy shows (don't know the name of one) and I have to admit I didn't understand the humor. But then again, I'm used to the American TV humor . I did like Benny Hill on the occasions I saw him. _________________________ May the tail of the elephant never have to swat the flies from your face.
