Humorous shows/movies/books

<p>Big Bang Theory. Also second Eddie Izzard. Christopher Titus is another very funny comedian that I like. Great for anyone who came from a dysfunctional family or survived a dysfunctional marriage and divorce.</p>

<p>I also like Family Guy. I just do.</p>

<p>Burning Love and First Dates with Toby Harris</p>

<p>OK, this is really old and weird with 10 million views, but just look for “He Man What’s Going On” on youtube. (Get the version with lyrics). Our kids put this on last night and H and I were in tears. I laughed so hard my head hurt–thought I was going to have a stroke. I don’t even know why it’s funny.</p>

<p>TV shows:
Andy Griffith
Beverly Hillbillies
Seinfeld
Big Bang
Modern Family</p>

<p>Many of you may disagree but I also enjoy Reno 911 reruns and Tosh.0</p>

<p>I love Reno 911 and Tosh.0! Also South Park, 30 Rock, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. For British humor, the original “The Office” and Absolutely Fabulous are great. Of course Monty Python.</p>

<p>For funny movies, Bridesmaids, Mean Girls, and Napoleon Dynamite, and Borat. I thought The Dictator was stupid yet hilarious.</p>

<p>My favorite comedy show is “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Also really like “Episodes” and Lisa Kudrow’s “Web Therapy” but I’m a huge fan of improv so that is part of the appeal of both “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Web Therapy.” While not specifically a comedy, “Nurse Jackie” is funny. </p>

<p>Books - “Bossy Pants” but go for the audiobook since Tina Fey reads it. Agree that Carl Hiassen books are funny and a great read generally.</p>

<p>For fans of Tina Fey, I recommend Baby Mama starring Tina and Amy Poehler. We watched it the other day and both thought that it was a funny and very sweet movie.</p>

<p>Yes, love “Baby Mama.” It is one of the rare movies I can watch more than once - that and “HouseSitter” with Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin and “The Jerk” with Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters.</p>

<p>LOVE Reno 911!</p>

<p>Monty Python and the Holy Grail</p>

<p>I haven’t seen Baby Mama, I did see that movie Fey made with Steve Carrel.
I agree those old show like Frasier are great, & have been trying to rewatch them, eventually I hope I will get over how bad the hair and clothes are and just be grateful that in the formal portrait that H & I had taken in 1978, I have neither huge padded shoulders or big hair. Whew!</p>

<p>Speaking of bad hair and shoulder pads, I think it would be great to see Murphy Brown and Designing Women. Great casts.</p>

<p>The Return of the Pink Panther (1975) and The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) </p>

<p>Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me, NPR radio program out of Chicago</p>

<p>You’ll really like Baby Mama.
Also, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Happy Endings, Reno 911! and Community.
I also don’t see the appeal of Big Bang Theory or How I Met Your Mother and I’m a college student.</p>

<p>Murphy Brown Christmas episode: Jingle Hell, Jingle Hell, Jingle All the Way. H and I laughed until we cried.</p>

<p>“Murphy Brown” was great. I just finished watching a Seinfeld rerun - the one about the golf ball and the whale. I still prefer Seinfeld reruns to most of the new shows.</p>
