Funniest Quotations

I was always a big fan of Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner's '2000-Year-Old Man' sketch. I think it's one of the biggest influences on the podcast, definitely. You'd never say Carl Reiner was the funniest dude on there, because he's just teeing it up, but he knows what questions to ask to lead to great improv.

Cartoons are the best stuff on TV. 'Wonder Showzen,' 'Aqua Teen,' 'SpongeBob,' and, of course, 'South Park' - one of the funniest shows ever made.

The funniest thing is I never understood why actors were so shady about who they're dating. Then I realized the things you say get printed and the people you're involved with read them. That's what's tricky. Nothing goes unnoticed. I don't want to get myself in trouble!

I'd love to do a movie with females in it, and not necessarily the female version of 'The Hangover,' but I'd love to.

If we did a character-based comedy about women, I don't see it out of my range.

'The Office' is clearly the funniest show on TV. But I can't live without watching 'Eureka.' It's my favorite show of all time, and I watch it constantly on my iPod.

Betty White is a riot. She is a good time! That is the bottom line: Betty White is a good time. She is really an incredible woman. She is so kind. She doesn't have one mean bone in her body, and she is the funniest woman in the room always. And you'll never hear one complaint from her.

And then 'Wanderlust,' Ken Marino and David Wain wrote the funniest - they're amazing. That was one of my most favorite creative experiences; we're all up at that commune, a small group of people. Everyone was funnier than the next. It was an amazing ensemble feeling. Everyone gave and took in the best way.

Sometimes I try to sell shows with a female lead to networks, and that isn't something that's been a proven formula for them, so they reject it. I do feel like men get the funniest roles in movies.

I love 'Robot Chicken,' 'The Boondocks' and 'America's Funniest Home Videos.' Then there's this show called 'The First 48.' It's a documentary about killings where they try and find murderers. They interrogate people and they tell on each other - it's hilarious.

I think some of the funniest and most artistic people I know are the ones who had a hard time at school. They often have humility and artistry.

We are providing a stage where everyone can participate and everyone can be seen. We see ourselves as a combination of America's Funniest Home Videos and Entertainment Tonight.

Just then the lady of the house came walking in and saw me with my pants down, wrapped around my ankles, as if I was posing half naked. I stood there in shock, just as surprised and shocked as she was. I said, 'Oh my, excuse me.' I couldn't do anything. I had the paint can in one hand and the paintbrush in the other.

Remember, when YouTube was founded in the U.S., America's Funniest Home Videos had been around for a long time. In China, the history of TV as well as user-generated video is very, very short. So, we've actually had to do a lot of things to motivate that.

My mom's brother was gay, and he actually passed away from AIDS when I was 13.

He was gay, but to me, Uncle Alan was just the funniest person in the world.

Mary is one of the funniest women I have met.

I usually stalk fans because I think they're really funny on Twitter. They don't know it, but I'll just go through their timelines, and if something is happening in the media, I always read fan accounts instead of the news because they have all the info and make the funniest jokes about it, so that's how I get my gossip - by stalking fans.

That's the funniest thing about this. Everyone has their own interpretation, and that's OK.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen,

It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. We still laugh about it and re-enact it. Drew can do a heck of an impersonation of the pheasant. I'm convinced the bird was just playing with them. I think he knew those two kids were never going to catch him.

The funniest thing is that now I know what reverse spam is. You know you get spam from people saying, 'Can you invest in this or that?' People are now e-mailing me saying, 'Oh my God, can I invest in your company?' It's a reverse solicitation of money.

The funniest thing is I listen on some of those bootleg albums, and I remember on two tours I wasn't playing with one finger at all because I'd done damage to it.

The funniest part is I missed most of the celebration because I ran into the locker room because I thought that's what everyone did, ...

I guess I should have stayed out there, but I didn't know.

The funniest guy I've ever worked with - it's just one of those things, again, where we look at each other and just laugh - is Jimmy Byrnes from 'Wiseguy.' Jimmy - we can't be in the same room together. He knows he can make me laugh just by looking at me.

My way of joking is telling the truth; that is the funniest joke in the world
