Most people are used to the T.V. comedy method of one joke every 18 seconds. And that’s why it’s not funny… There’s no time for anything to develop. – Ron Shock
I got to dress up in funny clothes and run around New Zealand with a bow and arrow for 18 months, how bad could that be? – Orlando Bloom
It is one thing to go on stage and be funny or be in a good place in your career, but for a woman, actually facing the elements in a physical way is a very powerful thing. – Pamela Stephenson
I do know this: When somebody has to look great on the screen, that’s the death of funny. – Peter Farrelly
Without hurting anybody, we all tend to laugh at others’ discomfort. When someone slips on a banana skin and falls it’s funny. – Shah Rukh Khan
I’m not too keen on jokes that are one-liners. I want the situation to be funny. – Philippe Falardeau
I’m probably not very funny. The scripts just don’t come in, or the ones that do aren’t that good. I suppose I’m just an old drama queen, really. – Ray Winstone
All I know how to do is take what’s on my mind and spit it out funny. I don’t know what else I could do besides comedy. – Ron White
I always thought it would be funny to have the Parents Television Council write an episode of ‘Family Guy’ and give them full creative control. Then see how good the episode is. That’s something we’ve actually discussed in the writers’ room. We haven’t proposed it yet, but if somebody from the PTC reads this, it might be worth discussing. – Seth MacFarlane
Tabloid discussion of bad children always blames baby-boomer liberals, careerist mothers and fashion-crazed Nathan Barley types who think it’s all enormously funny. But the centre-leftish psycho-thinker Oliver James says it’s all down to the Thatcher-and-after culture of turbo-capitalism, making people acquisitive and unsatisfied. – Peter York
That’s why ‘Gangnam Style’ works. If someone handsome uses that phrase it’s just awkward. But if someone like me uses it, it’s funny. – Psy

The first thing I ever got my hands on was Andy Griffith’s ‘What It Was, Was Football.’ I was fascinated with the fact that every syllable made it funny, and I would laugh even though I didn’t know what any of it meant. – Ron White
I was always a funny guy. I don’t think anybody that makes it to this level of stand-up wasn’t a funny guy when they were young. – Ron White
It’s upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren’t an issue all the time. It’s funny that people say it’s a departure, because I’ve been acting since I was a child. I’ve played three gay roles out of hundreds. – Randy Harrison
In my circle of friends, I’ve always been loud and funny and talkative. But as soon as I step out of that circle, I get very quiet and introspective. I don’t want the spotlight on me. – Rosie Perez
I love improv so much. Listening. I think that’s the key. When you improvise, you put a lot of pressure on yourself to create, and to be generating information, and trying to be funny, but if you just listen to what’s being said to you, and then react honestly, you generally get better results. – Rob Riggle
