I have quite a strange, mixed up sense of humour. I laugh at clever wordplay and puns, and also footage of animals who appear to 'talk'. I even laugh my head off at these types of ads on TV, no matter how many times I've seen them. I also enjoy surreal type humour series such as Father Ted, The League of Gentlemen, and Phoenix Nights. And did anyone else become addicted to Catterick? What makes you laugh? :D

:D I sat watching the old episodes of only fools and horses last night and roared with laughter at del boy and rodney running along the streets as batman and robin.:D this has to be the best comedy ever made.
what programes make you laugh?:D
I like slightly odd humour, I used to really like Eddie Izzard's old stuff.

I was also quite surprised when I found myself laughing at Keith Lemon's World Tour - I think it's the fact that he kept using malopropisms or just couldn't say certain words properly.
Rich likes really stupid things like Airplane and Naked Gun, which surprises me.

things kids say make me laugh they are better than any comedy .A friend I used to work with was eating some chewing gum one day . Her little boy asked if he could try a bit so she let him telling him you chew it but don't swallow it . we were talking and she suddenly screeched where is it what have you done have you swallowed it and he replied no cause I have'nt swallowed it I ate it . We really laughed .

Dry sense of humour, puns, wordplay as well, certain comedies, and then of course "silly" adverts. I've just received an amazing email from my friend on people and pets/dogs look alikes - I wish I could put it on site!

I really like Hyacinth but don't particularly laugh at comedy programmes, I suppose my sense of humour is somewhat weird, break a leg and I'd be in stitches! X

I must say with some of the stuff you read on RM one doesn't need any telly programme or show, comedy, nothing. :D

My hubby likes to highlight the fact that I don't have a sence of humour, but its just that I don't laugh a silly things (black adder, naked gun etc). I do however laugh out loud at " Dinner Ladies" and anything that Victoria Wood does.

I love to laugh and be happy, and find that every day things make me laugh when things go wrong. My Hubby is the happiest person I know and is always laughing.....so much so I have nicknamed him Sir Laugh-alot!

There's a little cartoon, jokey thing today in the Guardian magazine that really made me chuckle. It's a mole down in it's burrow, for want of a better word. There are two holes in the roof of the mole's home and lodged into one is the rooty end of a garden bulb. The other hole is empty. The caption is " Oh, bo......s, that's another bulb gone. " I love stuff like that.
