I’m doing a pilot for Comedy Central with the band Steel Panther. They’re faux heavy metal. They started as kind of a tribute band out here, or a cover band, and they’re funny guys, and they just sort of morphed into their own thing. – Brian Posehn
Our characters were antiseptic but we weren’t. And if you remember what we did on BATMAN, as the scripts were written very funny, we played them very straight. – Burt Ward
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity. – Albert Einstein
I’m actually a big fan of Kathy Griffin because I think she’s really funny. I think she’s really self-deprecating, which is something I like to see in a comedian. I think those are really the best comedians: people who can make fun of themselves. – Chelsea Handler
The truth of it is that people are not going to want to go to improvisational theater if it’s not funny. You can succeed in doing all the things you’re supposed to do – be truthful to scene – and if it’s not funny, I’m telling you that no one’s gonna care. – Christopher Guest
It’s so funny, I’ve done so many projects where I’ve been interrogated. I guest starred on almost every hour drama, and I’m always the guy they think is the bad guy but then they find out is not. – Aaron Paul
Tom Hanks is fantastic – he is one of my dad’s good friends, and he’s very warm and funny. – Bryce Dallas Howard
Staring down the barrel of a gun is the scariest thing you could ever experience. It’s not funny. It’s not for the movies. – Christina Milian
Marie Antoinette was funny, I’m sure she was just misinterpreted. You know the ‘Let them eat cake’ line. She seems like she was kind of funny, like a Chelsea Handler or Kathy Griffin type. – Colin Quinn
I’m really not that funny in real life! But I am the best audience one could find. I love to laugh. – Carol Burnett
Relaxing at home in his 55th-floor condominium before a game, Sammy Sosa is the same as at the ball park: focused but funny, exuberant but reserved. He is in a strange country, conversing in two languages, but his every movement displays a combination of confidence and humility. – Bill Dedman
But I believe that there are marriages where you can have your pool table and she can have her scrapbooking room or garden or whatever it is. But when everyone has what they want, it’s not funny. There’s no conflict. – Brad Garrett
As a writer, or as a filmmaker, you have to present yourself, and part of what yourself is is what you’re interested in, or what you think is funny, or what you think is sad, or what you think is horrible. – Charlie Kaufman
Here is my prescription to heal all wounds. Watch the film ‘Funny Girl’ at least five times, eat at least 45 chocolate bars, and hang out with all those friends you blew off to hang out with your ex. I truly believe that, through a combination of Nutella, old pals and Barbra Streisand, we can achieve happiness and, very probably, world peace. – Beth Ditto
‘Copper’ is my first period piece. It’s funny because I’ve been doing a lot of episodes of ‘Elementary’ with Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu; they keep bringing me back on the show, and so I go from being an outstanding black doctor to being a kind of hood, ex-car thief who went through rehab in ‘Elementary.’ – Ato Essandoh
Kids enjoy laughing and are seldom bored when they find something funny. They also ask questions, often to adults, because they understand that the more words they can comprehend about a funny story or a joke, the more they’ll enjoy it. – Brian P. Cleary
Comedians, we’re just people who whine. But we happen to be funny when we whine. Like, if Jerry Seinfeld wasn’t funny, you’d want to punch him in the face; he’d just seem like a whiner to you. But the fact is that he’s funny. – Artie Lange
The fact is I’m choosy, but mainly about a man’s character. He has to be interesting, funny and clever. I don’t even mind if he’s not very good-looking. – Agyness Deyn
I’m not interested in being one of those comedians who wants to look good and be this ‘cool’ funny person. I don’t care how weird or ugly I look. – Chris Lilley
Two things I really wanted to be: a stand-up comic or a New York Yankee – or a really funny New York Yankee. – Billy Crystal
Like with ‘Parks and Recreation,’ it’s so much fun because the people writing it are funny and they’re open and you just go in there and have a good time. It’s pretty much the easiest job I’ve ever had. – Aziz Ansari
The 1930s was a funny time. People knew they might not live for another six months, so if they were attracted to one another, there was no time to dawdle. – Alan Furst
On ‘Workaholics,’ I feel like I’m just hanging out with my buddies being filmed, but on ‘Mindy,’ I’m around professional funny people who act. Guys like Chris Messina, who are the real deal. I watch what they do and put my own spin on it. – Anders Holm
I actually think of being funny as an odd turn of mind, like a mild disability, some weird way of looking at the world that you can’t get rid of. – Calvin Trillin
Richard Pryor introduced me to the world of the inner city, and the urban world, and did it hysterically. My favorite comedian, even though we work 180 degrees differently, but funny is funny is funny. – Bob Newhart
Children are smarter than any of us. Know how I know that? I don’t know one child with a full time job and children. – Bill Hicks
Well, I mean, if a joke or humor is bawdy, it’s got to be funny enough to warrant it. You can’t just have it bawdy or dirty just for the sake of being that – it’s got to be funny. – Betty White
