Eddie Izzard makes me laugh. Laugh out loud, laugh till it hurts, sometimes tears.

The Onion makes me laugh, but in a different way. It's more of the constant, quiet laughing and amusement. Girl Moved To Tears By Of Mice And Men Cliffs Notes

Chris Rock and Carlos Mencia make me laugh. But I sometimes find it an effort to sit through what are dud moments for me to get to the laughs.

Did you know that Connie Booth, who played the blonde waitress with the really fine body, co-wrote the series with Cleese?

Cambridge University Professor of Electrical Engineering, Sir Charles Oatley, in October, 1948, along with his student Dennis McMullan, began the research that led to the production of the first scanning electron microscope in 1965.

I thought you'd want to know.

Well, Lord Buckley and Ernie Kovacs and Sid Caesar used to. But they're dead.

Dame Edna, too.

Tracy Ullman, she's great. I don't find her hysterically funny like I do Izzard. Some people don't get him either.

I think Gene Hackman, Tommy Lee Jones and Robert DeNiro are great at deadpan humor.
