What is your humor preference? - OFF TOPICballs

Cee's back on the Board, one of the reasons i joined!

Actually I can find humor in just about all of the people that you have mentioned except Dane Cook. But you can go ahead and call me names for accepting many different comedic talents into my world puppet enthusiast.

I find many, many forms of humor entertaining. But I draw the line at fart, *** and incest jokes.

This may (or may not be) shocking. Although the joke is told by some of my favorite comedians, I absolutely HATE The Aristocrats nonsense.

Don't forget my guy!
Simpsons not a hit it's life

Lisa Lampanelli

I absolutely LOVE her.

After making this poll, I have been thinking.

I have forgotten some good poll options for humor that people either love or hate:

Sarah Silverman
Seinfeld
Saturday Night Live (which could include Second City)
The Soup!
Reno 911!
Mr. Show, The State and Kids in the Hall (lumped in with UCB)
Wonder Showzen
The Simpsons and South Park (lumped in with Family Guy)
Curb Your Enthusiasm

[Robyn]

Gotta go with USB on that poll. The "ass penny" episode was hilarious.

Absolutely brilliant.

[diogee]

Reno 911 has some good Shit. I watch Seinfeld from time to time. Sarah Silverman is hot with some funny stuff as well.
WTF is The Soup

[diogee]

Absolutely brilliant.

Wow that is hilarious...guess I have not watched too much UCB.

It's on the E! channel.

Joel McHale (the host) is a very funny guy.

I'll give it a shot one of these days.

It's random oddball humor, if that is what you like.

I watched a tape of the Blue Collar Comedy tour several years ago and laughed. Now when I hear these guys it is so lame. They've only got a couple dozen jokes that keep getting recycled over and over. "You might be a redneck...", "Here's your sign...", "Git 'er' done...", "So I was drunk and...". So lame.

UCP and the other variants were cool when I was younger, but it starts to wear thin eventually. Maybe the writing starts to get lazy and they lose me, maybe the actors lose their freshness, I'm not sure. Probably "B" grade comedy for me.


I never thought Carlos Mencia was funny. But I'm not hispanic either.

Family Guy is an old standby. Good for a couple laughs. You could lump this together with the other adult cartoons: Simpsons, South Park, etc, they're all about the same. I actually like American Dad better, because that alien dude is cool.

25 years ago, I thought Monty Python was the best, but now it seems cheesey, crusty, & very British.

I never thought Dane Cook was funny. But I'm not a yuppie either.

I am not quite sure why Ron White is lumped in with these other rednecks, but I have had a few laughs from his comedy. Not much, but a few. As for the rest of them, including that Foxworthy douchebag who has that stupid show on FOX, I would love to flush them all down the toilet.

They did 2 seasons of UCB. I think that they finished at the right time. The second season wasn't quite as funny as the first. They have now all gone on to do other things. Amy Poehler is on now on SNL and Matt Besser is doing all kinds of zany things (visit his myspace page). The other two were just in Will Ferrell's latest movie, Semi-Pro.

Sadly, Mencia's humor caters more to white people. I think Latin America was up in arms that more hispanics weren't on prime time television, so they grabbed some guy out of a rinky dink comedy club and gave him a show. He is terrible. Absolutely terrible. Ever see/hear his imitation of a retard? Enough said.

I can't stand American Dad. I am surprised it is a spawn from the creators of Family Guy.

Same here. Cheers.

Dane Cook can suck my dick. I can't stand him OR his ugly haircut. I loved it when he was murdered in Mr. Brooks.

[RageWizard]

So far people are pretty together on Dane cook either sucking or blowing their cocks or figurative cocks. Has anyone seen the show on Fuse called "Munchies" or "Behind the music that sucks"? I think both of these shows are done now but they were both funny as hell.
