Funny People

[Deleted User]

Anyone else extremely envious of funny people?

I mean, I can be funny occasionally I suppose. But some people are naturally and uproariously funny all the time. Wet-your-pants funny.

I shared a train journey with an old schoolmate earlier today, and I laughed so hard my face hurt. I have a man crush on his funnyness.

The ability to make another human emit these primitive sounds that signal sheer joy must be one of the most endearing characteristics in a person. I had a really crappy week and that two hours of laughter has put me in a great mood all day.

So are the people of AH funny? Can people learn to be funny, or are they just born that way?

Funny people, I think you're just great.

My brother. He has teeth like Shane McGowan but he's so sound and so piss-the-pants hilarious, he's always had the loveliest of women on his arm (except for one total loony but we won't mention her....). I fcuking love proper funny people more than anything and I'd forgive anything and anyone if they could make me laugh - it's a real gift. People who tell jokes can fcuk right off though.

So if you've bad teeth then you can't be funny?

I think the point is if you have funny teeth, you can be bad. Or something. I don't fcukan know, ask the Asian kid.

He has bad teeth BUT. Like even though someone has bad teeth it makes them less likely to have other attributes.

The ability to make someone laugh is definitely an aphrodisiac. Problem is, humour is so subjective - so what might turn one person on could repulse someone else.

Yeah, like, What do you call a gay Pakistani? Ramamandeep. Too much, maybe?! *Tumble weed*

The thing with telling jokes is just tell one or two where appropriate. If its a case that you're trying to match a joke your doomed. Seriously if you leave out that she wasnt blonde "down there" and end with I had to pay the coalman, you told the joke wrong.

Sean Locke is funny. Frank Skinner is funny. Jack Dee is funny. Lee Evans is just an annoying gobsh1te.

Funny people are my favourite!

There is nothing better than a person you can have a genuine laugh with!:D

I think being funny is only about clarity of thinking and honesty and perception.
I never thought I was funny, but I always looked at people and observed, observed, observed as kid about things thought "isn't that amusing". I'd get the intelligent laughs but hate doing the juvenile ****e so as a kid I wasn't much good at it and it went over my head.

I think if you're enjoying yourself, in my experience, its hard not be seen as funny. However, There is nothing nothing more soul destroying then trying to be funny to entertain others 1st and 2nd when you're not able due to being in a bad place in life.

Leaves me feeling like this:

Can't understand the problem with this word. Suppose you have the same aversion to 'craic' since they mean the same thing.

Why shouldn't you have sex with a dyslexic midget? Because its not big and its not clever! OK I am not funny

A guy in work is always telling jokes. Granted some of them are good but it does get tedious after a while, especially when I'm in a rush to the canteen to get my cheese toastie. Some people try too hard to be funny.

What annoys me is when we are in a pub having a laugh, I say something hilarous but due to me being soft spoken and louder people talking over me only one person hears me and they proceed to repeat what you said twenty times louder and take the credit.

Comedians baffle me, some of them writers and they get thoroughly exposed on panel shows. Jimmy.Carr must have writers, stand up is very good but in 8/10 when someone has a comeback he never has a response you see him trying to remember a joke that might fit or doing his retarded fake laugh.

Sean Lock and Lee Mack on the other hand, stand up is terrible but wit is out of this world. Dara O Briain has the right idea, tailors his stand up around his wit by engaging the audience.

Agree on Lee Evans, awful, would add McIntyre and Whitehall to that list

Mister Vain

I don't know how Dara O'Briain made it as a comedian, I don't find him funny at all. He talks way too fast aswell.

I know that Frankie Boyle writes some of Jimmy Carr's material and a few others.

Dara O Briain will never have to be exposed, because there is no exposing it's all there on stage in a high energy individual act at every show, the narrowest of tightropes and it could only work because of his wit/charm/rambling. I've heard of people going to some shows on different nights in the same week they experiences varied wildly but all were keeling over in laughter.

I've often wondered if Dylan Moran could destroy a crowd, as he rarely interacts, but when he does he does it in a very mellow sort of way.

There are some very funny fckers in this place. 'Funny Ha ha' types.
But there are way to many 'Funny Mmmmm' types too...

Jimmy Carr is pretty sharp in other settings, like when he is the guest on a show. Agree about Locke and Mack, David Mitchell can be very funny and witty.

I don't like Lee Evans, but guess he does physical comedy well. McIntyre is just twee. And Whitehall is awful, less funny than Corden.

Telling jokes is down to timing and your voice. A lot of comedians have a strong accent or slightly odd tone of voice which helps with delivery.

They also have a strong sense for inflections and intonation when delivering lines. I don't have that sense so my jokes end up in this long monotone drawl that no one gets and people just look at me strangely and laugh at me more than the joke.

So a dyslexic guy walks into a bra...

Always cracks me up that one, it's just so simple and silly, but in a funny way

People that are unintentionally funny make me laugh, people that aren't trying to be funny but just the way they go on, like my wife yesterday when we missed the last train and she was trying to explain to the inspector or whoever that she'd already bought our tickets, she was getting fierce worked up about it, and I of course made a poor show of disguising my amusement, which only made her worse

The girls I work with always make me laugh, the way they go on, but apparently they think the same of me, that I amuse them the way I go on. They're odd though, I'm not

People who can laugh in the most adverse circumstances, it's like being at a funeral and hearing a fart come from the coffin - completely and utterly inappropriate, like self-depreciation, it has to be subtle, otherwise it's just awkward for all concerned.

I have a very childish and immature sense of humour, that's why to me children are hilarious with their knock knock jokes and the why did the chicken cross the road jokes - there's a point where they're painfully funny, utterly silly, but I can't help but laugh

The likes of stand-up "comedians", I just don't get 'em, at all really. They're trying for laughs, and laughing is a spontaneous reflex, I don't want to have to think about a joke to get it. I like obvious humour, when people don't try, they just are funny.

PARlance

I like to think I'm 95% miserable, 5% funny.
A fairly good balance if you ask me.

Can't stand people who try (too hard) to be funny, entertaining, friendly....

He's one of my favourites, obviously a very intelligent man as can be seen from his strain of observational comedy.

I don't understand how Lee Evans is funny, but physical comedy doesn't do it for me, so I guess it's just down to taste.

Funny people are class. I think it's very endearing when people are hilarious.
