Who is the funniest person you personally know

[thom1102]

Ok, DU counts, too. For me it is a toss up between Jeff's brother Richard, and my brother Brendan. Both of them crack me up. How about you?

1. My friend Bill in the San Fernando Valley

Great guy. Not a comedian, but life of the party.

[Booberdawg]

2. Byron

My best buddy where I worked before I got laid off.

He's in his late 50's and sat in the cubicle behind me and plays the "George from Seinfield" loser routine. But he is not a loser. He is a sweetheart and funnier than shit when he gets pissed off and fired up, which is often. Anal retentive as hell, but so are all of us programmers - it's an occupational hazard. :D

LOL!

We still email often. I miss the old bastard. We are arranging drinks with the gang some time over the next couple weeks. He's worked up over something right now. I don't know what it is yet, but I will before the event takes place, and I won't have to ask him what it is, ROTFLOL! I jus' love Byron.

3. right now, my daughter...

She thinks she's Snow White and if you call her by her given name she corrects you and sings Hi Ho Hi Ho!

[MrScorpio]

4. Funny? What's that, some kinda disease?

Bah humbug!!

5. We no longer speak (I put my foot in it with her years ago),

But one of the funniest people I ever knew used to write segments for one of the radio satire shows (I won't say which one, since she and I don't communicate anymore and she doesn't work for the show now, either). I went to college with her, she always was really biting, cynical and funny in person -- she used to write the most entertaining letters of anybody I ever corresponded with. There was some deadly freeverse poetry, too, if I recall correctly.

We attended college together back around 1982, and kept in touch for over a decade even though she lived on the other side of the country ... but we had a sort of falling out years back, and haven't spoken since. Doesn't make her any less funny, though.

Mr. Nownow is no slouch -- we do some pretty funny schtick between us, we keep each other laughing. He was doing improv comedy when we started going out with each other (edit -- oops! I said six, but it's more like seven) years ago, he did a killer Keith Richard impression in one of the routines the improv group used to do. I think I started falling in love with him when I realized he could make me laugh -- once I hit 30, I realized it was one of the most enduring and important things we could share, making each other laugh.

My late father was a hoot, as well. Dad was funny in a more subtle way -- wordplay, really gentle humor -- but funny nonetheless.

6. My dad

The funniest ever

7. Me! Naked in front of a full length mirror!

on edit "a full" is TWO words

[Bertha Venation]

8. Chette, my sister

She cracks me up every time we talk. She'd say the same thing about me. Then you get both of us and our other sister together in a room -- you won't be able to stop laughing. We have a helluva lot of fun. Too bad they're in California & I'm in Maryland.

9. William Price Fox...

novelist and former sitcom writer

[Missy Vixen]

10. My friend Gaby

She is pants-peeingly funny and even more cynical and sarcastic than I.

We have a great time together.

[HEyHEY]

11. My friend Mel

Funniest person on the planet.

[Susang]

12. My husband, mkuhl

He can even make me laugh when I'm PMS-ing and decreasing my anti-depressant dosage. Trust me, that's not easy! ;-)
