Comedy is fun. And funny. It can be something you totally saw
coming, or it can be something completely unexpected.
The great thing about comedy is that it can mean so many different things to different people.
For example, my son thinks all great comedy begins with the word naked. And underwear. And wee-wee. All of the bathroom words, really. In fact, if you want to make him laugh, ask him to say naked underwear wee-wee fanny without laughing.
He can't do it.
For my beloved, it's all about a pie in the face or a guy getting hit in the crotch. Although, I don't understand why a man would think that another man getting cracked in the junk is funny. I certainly would never think that a woman getting her boobs smashed in was hilarious. We just call that a mammogram.
(and there's nothing funny about it)
(and there's nothing sexy about the gynecologist either)
(that doesn't have anything to do with comedy, I just want to make that clear, because It always seems to come up)
("The stirrups. Yeeeahh, baby."......No.)
I'm getting away from my point. My point is that comedy is funny.
Here are a few things that I think are funny:
1. People falling down.
2. People walking into glass doors.
3. People falling down after walking into a glass door.
4. Anything on America's Funniest Home Videos that's not about dogs or guys getting kicked in the crotch.
5. The audio book of Ellen Degeneres' Seriously...I'm Kidding.
(I laughed so hard the other day on the way to the grocery store I almost drove off the road)
6. Vince Vaughn.
7. Nora Ephron.
8. Jenna McCarthy.
(Not Jenny. Jenna. Jenna makes me belly-laugh so hard it actually tones my stomach muscles in a way that never doing sit-ups has not. Jenny makes me point and laugh in a mocking, horrified way.)
9. My son asking to be home schooled so he doesn't have to get his 6th grade booster shot.
10. Every line in Annie Hall,
Bull Durham, and
When Harry Met Sally (see #7)
I hope you find something to laugh at today. I hope you laugh so hard you cry, and your sides hurt and you get a headache. But in a good way.
I hope you know how much I love ya'.
Seriously.
