I think Ron White is funny, but given the frequency of his television comedy specials, they're starting to sound recycled. Maybe it's the booze. :P
I doubt he has a drop onstage. (It's probably apple juice.) But so far as his specials go the first two were decent and felt different enough. The latest one, sheesh. It felt heavily edited too, which makes me wonder if he had a lot of stinkers that got clipped.
If we're doing not funny as well I've gotta vote for Ben Stiller in any movie that isn't Tropic Thunder. He directed that too. I'd say he should stick to directing, but he directed The Cable Guy too so...
Speaking of Tropic Thunder, I got to hand it to Tom Cruise - he ruled in that film. I'd love to see a spin off with that character.

I love it when people actually play characters and not just themselves in the situation their character is supposed to be in. Tom Cruise and RDJ were great in this movie. For the opposite look at Stiller and Black's characters. While both had some very funny parts I just felt like I was watching Ben Stiller and Jack Black in the jungle.
Best black comedy movie: Heathers"I love my dead, gay son!"
"Wonder how he'd react if his son had a limp wrist with a pulse?"
I've been falling back into old TV shows. Lately I've been watching a lot of Addams family. I watched the reruns as a kid but I seem to enjoy them even more as an adult for some reason. And Morticia is smokin hot!
Not much for TV, but do I love the show Yes Minister.
You-tube if you haven't read of it, I think the entire show is up on the site.
I think this kind of thing is hilarious. I wouldn't click the link from work.A great video for a great song by an amazing artist. "WKAP?" is one of my all-time favorite albums.
[threadjack]I absolutely LOVE the Dresden Dolls first album. I've tried and tried and TRIED to get into the later Dresden Dolls and Amanda's solo stuff, but I can't. In all honestly I hate it. I don't think she'll ever top "Girl Anachronism" or "Coin-Operated Boy" to me.[/threadjack]

He was amazing in that movie.

I never watched it as a kid and my wife bought the entire series and made me watch it. It is an excellent show. And Morticia IS quite the hottie!
I am also a big fan of dry wit. As has been posted before, BBC comedies are up there. I like comedy where YOU have to know it's funny, instead of the bad funny that seems to be out there nowadays. Not a fan of bathroom escapades, bodily noises, or anything else of that nature. Don't understand what's so funny about that.
Also like Chuck. That's got some great humor. Frasier was a good one also.

Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. It's a dumb question... skip it.

I never "got" other British comedies like "Red Dwarf" (I fell asleep every time I tried to watch it) and especially "Absolutely Fabulous" (got annoyed in 10 seconds and turned it off).I'm not sure how anyone could like those shows if they had not been born, raised and lived in Britain at the right time.
I loved Red Dwarf when I was a teenager.
I am an american.............RED DWARF is the Bomb!
