We are, in the comics, the last frontier of good, wholesome family humor and entertainment.
One of my favorite things about 'Star Trek' wasn't just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever breaking its reality.
There are two insults no human being will endure: that he has no sense of humor, and that he has never known trouble.
I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater. Most people thought I was a dork. But if you have a sense of humor about it, no one can bring you down.
Tony and I had a good on and off screen relationship, we are two very different people, but we did share a sense of humor, we now live in different parts of the world but when we find ourselves in the same place it is more or less as if there had been no years in between.
Cathy was the first widely syndicated humor strip created by a woman. The strip was pretty revolutionary at the time not only because it starred a female, but also because it was so emotionally honest about all the conflicting feelings many women had in 1976.
If you're that hypersensitive about color and don't have a sense of humor, don't marry out of your race.
The humor section is the last place an author wants to be. They put your stuff next to collections of Cathy cartoons.
When I look at a lot of older stuff that I've written, I think one sign of amateur humor writing is when you see people trying too hard.
The comics that are just conversing with you up there and drawing on their own life, yeah, I guess so. I guess some do political humor, some do topical humor, but the ones that I like, the ones that are appealing to me, were guys who were just talking to you about their life.
Both conservatives and liberals watch 'Parks and Recreation,' and they each think the show is for them, which is really cool. 'SNL' was totally different. It was exciting because everyone was paying attention. Political humor works when people know what you're talking about.
A sense of humor is the ability to understand a joke - and that the joke is oneself.
I believe that economists put decimal points in their forecasts to show they have a sense of humor.
When you do find humor in trying times, one of the first and most important changes you experience is that you see your perplexing problems in a new way - you suddenly have a new perspective on them.
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.
In the 'Hurt Locker' there's a lot of me in there, a sense of humor, a man of few words and a lot of action.
My stories are very somber, so I think I need the comic ingredient. Besides, life has so much humor.
I wish I could be as thin as Jessica Simpson. I think she looks gorgeous! I have had Jessica on my show several times, and I can tell you that girl is genuine and funny with a great self-deprecating sense of humor.
I like being a Baha'i who has an out-there sense of humor. God gives us talents and faculties, and making people laugh is one of mine.
I'm sure there are people who survive tragedy without humor, but I've never met any of them. Nor would I be particularly interested in writing about them if I did meet them.
What's great about the geek spirit is that life never seems to stop us, and they never seem to kill our enthusiasm, our optimism and our hunger to experience the world. We keep our sense of humor, we protect our dignity, we talk to our friends about the experience and then we start again fresh the very next day.
Women's humor seems to be a little more supportive. It's just kind of trying to make the other one laugh through funny voices and kind of talking about other people. I respond to that. I feel less like I'm going to get beat up in a room full of women than I do in a room full of guys.
I want everything I do to have humor in it, because it seems to me that all of life has that.
Things can be funny only when we are in fun. When we're 'dead earnest,' humor is the only thing that is dead.
I get asked, 'How can you have such failures in your films?' Well, what else is life about? There's some sense of constant failure in something. Humor gives you a distance from it.
My books are shelved in different places, depending on the bookstore. Sometimes they can be found in the Mystery section, sometimes in the Humor department, and occasionally even in the Literature aisle, which is somewhat astounding.
Humor can be an incredible lacerating and effective weapon. And that is the way I use it.
The first glass is for myself, the second for my friends, the third for good humor, and the forth for my enemies.
I don't think my sense of humor has changed at all I was born with this, for better or for worse.
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.
At the risk of appearing disingenuous, I don't really think of myself as 'writing humor.' I'm simply reporting on the world I observe, which is frequently hilarious.
I never worry about people not taking my work seriously as a result of the humor. In the end, the comic's best trick is the illusion that comedy is effortless. That people imagine what he's doing is easy is an occupational hazard.
Putting a little time aside for clean fun and good humor is very necessary to relieve the tensions of our time.
Those years on the golf course as a caddie, boy, those people were something. They were vulgar, some were alcoholics, racist, they were very difficult people to deal with. A lot of them didn't have a sense of humor.
You see, that's another thing that my parents gave me: an enormously great sense of humor.
People come up to me as I leave the stage after a performance and tell me tey saw my mother onstage with me every time I sing. I keep a sense of humor about it.
I don't think I would describe my sense of humor. Doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd do.
