I’ll let you in on a secret: I can’t stand Jay Ward. I hate being compared to Rocky and Bullwinkle. It’s just a different style of humor.
What we’ve discovered is that Americans seem to love our saucy humor.
You probably found ‘How to Survive a Robot Uprising’ in the humor section. Let’s just hope that is where it belongs.
People of humor are always in some degree people of genius.
For me, I really love ‘Tim and Eric’ and ‘Dr. Steve Brule’ and a lot of the Adult Swim shows, so I like strange, weird, sometimes slightly upsetting humor.
We moved to America when I was young, but we were always very Welsh in our home. The humor, food, traditions. Very Welsh.
I do find things funny. When you see life through the eyes of someone with a good sense of humor, which my grandmother did, life is a human comedy.
I am often the brunt of my own humor.
I’ve always been a fan of a Johnny Carson because he was so great with an audience and not afraid of self-deprecating humor.
Writing is not for me. I completely lose my sense of humor when I write. I become extremely pathetic, very sensational. Images give me possibilities that I don’t have with words.
Humor, for me, is really a gate of departure. It’s a way of enticing a reader into a poem so that less funny things can take place later. It really is not an end in itself, but a means to an end.
I think that some books are more successful than others to certain readers. People who read my books for the humor, they’re going to love one book. People who read my books for the mystery, they might not like that book quite as much.
I am a great believer that what makes our show different is the humor.
To this day, I’ve found that it doesn’t matter what a guy looks like if he’s really funny. His sense of humor makes him attractive. On the other hand, you don’t hear men saying, ‘No she’s not pretty, but is she ever funny!’
I find that people find a way out of misery through humor and it’s humor that’s often unacceptable to people who are not in quite such a state of misery.
Ingmar Bergman had a great sense of humor, and he had a very special, characteristic laugh that you always recognized – if he went to watch a theater show, ‘Ah! He is here tonight.’
Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert. Those are the guys I look at who are telling me pretty much the truth. And they throw humor into it which makes it much more interesting to listen to.
I think in life, the sense of humor and comedy always exists.
One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don’t realize there’s a lot of craft behind the comedy.
A lot of stars don’t have a sense of humor.
When we can find some humor in our upsets, they no longer seem as large or as important as they once did.
I can’t not find humor in elements of most parts of life, but at the same time nothing ever seems perpetually funny to me.
Humor has been a major component in our past successes; a good joke and a good product combined can get a lot of people talking.
I always refer to ‘Blazing Saddles’ or ‘Young Frankenstein’ as very much the kind of humor that I like to do.
I’ve always had a very dry sense of humor, and I’ve pretty much grown up on Will Ferrell, first on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ then ‘Old School’ and ‘Wedding Crashers.’
