Funny?

Ever since Dave and I started watching that new show Archer on FX, I've been thinking a lot about what makes my sense of humor tick because very little has made me laugh out loud the way that show has. (While sober!) Is there some kind of online quiz for this? Because I think my sense of humor stopped developing when I was about 13. A quick run down of things that have actually made me laugh out loud:

Archer (They had me at "whore island")

Something About Mary

The Big Lebowski

Superbad

That new Denny's commercial where the guy says, "Mr. Chino, I'm not a fan of your beverages, but I sure do love your pants."

The Hangover

Bruno/Borat

Strangers with Candy

Certain episodes of Phineus and Ferb (Dr. Doofenshmirtz!)

Certain episodes of Family Guy (although none recently now that every episode is a thinly veiled political campaign)

So basically I only laugh at bawdy, ridiculous humor, generally directed toward college frat boys.

So what am I forgetting?

(And no, this isn't a sponsored post. I don't do those.)

Have you seen this commercial? It seems like the college crowd humor but I laugh every.single.time.

"I'm good!"

I seem to be one of the only people who find Anchorman to be absolutely hilarious and that's after many, many viewings.

I've also recently snored coke out of my nose watching Modern Family.

I adore Phineas and Ferb. It ALWAYS makes us laugh. We actually record the new episodes and watch them before the kids do.

I find a lot of things funny and really like comedies. I don't mind broad comedy like slapstick and naughty jokes. I also love dry, sly, sarcastic insider snark where the comedy elicits more of a snort and a little grin than a guffaw. I also like silly, nonsense humor.

The one think I cannot handle is comedy that makes me feel embarassed for someone doing something cringe-worthy. I'm not offended by it. I just feel too embarassed to laugh. So that means movies like Superbad and Borat are too painful for me to watch. Not everything crosses that embarassment line for me though. I loved both Something About Mary and The Hangover, but absolutely cannot stand to watch The Office.

So here are my favorite humorous movies to add to your list...Office Space, Van Wilder, anything by Monty Python, What About Bob, Joe Vs. The Volcano, Fletch, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Jeeves and Wooster

You had me at Phineas and Ferb.

And also The Hangover. I still can't believe how hard I laughed at that movie.

[Jimmie]

Grandma's Boy...Forgetting Sarah Marshall...and this absolutely ridiculous new series on Spike called Blue Mountain State. LOL stupid. :)

I agree with Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I also laugh out loud at Vacation and Christmas Vacation (even though I've seen them too many times), Elf ("Santa! I know him!"), Anchorman, and Old School.

I disagree about The Office. That show is hysterical.

If you're not offended by crude humor (often aimed at women), try Dane Cook. Just make sure the kids are nowhere around. (Plus, he's kind of cute.)

Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail. "You English pig-dog!" and "I fart in your general direction! Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!"

I bust a gut every time I watch that movie!

If it makes you feel better I spent twenty minutes laughing mass ass off while playing with the Atomic Fart app for iPhone. It's basically a bunch of computer generated fart sounds with funny names. So my sense of humor stopped when I was 5.

[JMH]

Usually I don't like movies like Superbad or Borat, but I LOVED the Hangover!! Laughed until I cried.

[Erin (Snarke)]

Wow, that was supposed to be "my ass" when I typed it but I like the typo so much better!

[Cabriogal]

i laugh outloud at The Middle

[John D]

"We are the knights that say Ni!"

And yes it's all funny.

[Haley]

I died laughing at The Hangover...just absolutely died!

Have you seen Slackers...it was another great "Frat Boy Humor" type movie...a little crude...but hilarious. :-)

The personal loans suppose to be essential for guys, which want to start their own organization. As a fact, that's not really hard to receive a secured loan.
