I missed this guy completely. Always known the name, so a few days ago I watched some of these. He was really damn funny.

Steven Wright will always be the king of one-liners for me. But I do love Hedberg too. If you haven't checked out Wright, you're in for a treat.

He was one of my favorite comedians. I don't know why but when he laughed at his own jokes it made me laugh harder.

I don't think anyone can top the duo Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. They made some great movies together.

George Carlin was also a great comedian.

I saw Stir Crazy in the theater when I was around 10. I somehow saw many movies of dubious age appropriateness in that era. The Jerk was another...

The Jerk is a really funny movie. So is Blazing Saddles.

I shared some blazing saddles lines with a coworker who loved movies. She was offended when she watched the movie It was the beginning of my realization of how much better the following generations are on not tolerating intolerance.

It’s a touchy subject now. But I believe that humour and the ability to laugh at one’s self or with others through satire is slowly fading. I have been told to watch Ricky Gervais’ highly offensive new release because I would like it. I’m not sure if that reflects poorly on my character. Will update once I’ve seen it!
