And to that I ask: Does anybody here who has met me (other than as grandmaster of MouseAdventure) think I am lacking in a sense of humor?

This is why when people say "I'm looking for someone with a sense of humor" I feel like smacking them. It's like saying you're looking for someone who has a taste for sweets. Most everyone does. There are many types of sense of humor, and it's hard to pin down definitions for types. Some random types of humor I enjoy, in no particular order: Beavis and Butthead (stupidity, gross-outs) Mel Brooks (Jewish, sex, puns, pop-culture sillyness) 30 Rock/The Office (brainy sarcasm about everyday foibles) Wes Anderson (detached surrealism, awkward character interactions) Weird Al (childlike, slapsticky innocent spoofs of seriousness) Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job (non-linear psychadelic deja vu, slow motion vomiting for no reason) SNL (too many things to list) Some random types of humor I can appreciate but don't make me guffaw for some reason: Woody Allen (wordy self-deprecation) Cary Grant style films (zinger after zinger) Practical jokes (making someone else feel bad eventually gets to me) Fawlty Towers and the British Office (the ultimate in awkwardness is too much for me) Hmm, I bet there are dozens more. |

30 Rock/The Office (brainy sarcasm about everyday foibles) I've been told I'd loke 30 Rock. I love Arrested Development
Wes Anderson (detached surrealism, awkward character interactions) - Love him SNL (too many things to list) - Moments of goodnes throughout the years but not all of it does it for me. Woody Allen (wordy self-deprecation) - ADORE Woody Allen except really early slap stick stuff (but his serious films are really more up my alley) Cary Grant style films (zinger after zinger) Heavy, witty dialog is a fav as his black comedy. His Girl Friday a great example as is Arsenic and Old Lace. The Thin Man (not Grant) but another witty dialog fav. I can't stand The THree Stooges. Irritation! As for Brit humor, Black Books is one of my favorites. |

I've been watching a truckload of movies on TCM. Tons of oldies but goodies:
A Star is Born (Judy version) - wonderful film that seemed to mirror Garland's real life here and there. I like the ending a lot. Footlights Parade - Cagney the tough guy dancing a couple of steps here and there. It has that lovely 30's banter that I love so much: Nan Prescott: You scram, before I wrap a chair around your neck! Vivian Rich: [Angrily] It's three o'clock in the morning - where do you want me to go? [Nan starts to speak, but Vivian immediately cuts her off] Vivian Rich: You cheap stenographer... Nan Prescott: Outside, countess. As long as they've got sidewalks YOU'VE got a job. [Shoves her out, gives her a swift kick in the rump, and slams the door behind her] Golddiggers of 1933 - Dick Powell was so cute when he was a young lad. Grapes of Wrath - A classic. The more and more I re-watch Fonda films the more I like him. The Wrong Man - a rare weak Hitchcock film. Apparently the only Hitchcock film that he narrates. (A short intro at the beginning.) Farmer Takes a Wife - another Fonda. It was okay. Sorta dull. I'm half-watching a Marion Davies film right now that appears to have some lesbian undertones to it. Not sure what it's called... ETA: The MD movie is Blondie of the Follies. Last edited by Gemini Cricket : 08-03-2009 at 11:53 AM. |
