Now that I think of it, I've come to respect Carrey's dramatic acting more than his comedy. I think his physical comedy is almost unparalled, but his slapstick has gotten slightly old to me. I've liked Stiller since when he had his own show, and I as it turns out he makes me laugh more than Carrey has lately. I definitely like his comedy movies better than Carry's at this point. Now Conan.. he's just funny all around. He's quick on the draw, wacky but not in a tiresome way. His physical comedy is just hilarious, especially when he does his monologues. Last night's show wasn't so great, though. It was a rerun. James Spader was on, and that interview went completely south. Conan didn't handle Spader's risque spiel on truffles to well. Things got awkward. - I'd have to say, though, that Conan is on my comedy elite list. Eddie Izzards pretty far up there too I'd say. -------------------- Ford!...there's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they've worked out!

I don't think that many movies are funny, and usually, it's the writers anyway who are the funny ones. There are probably thousands of actors who could deliver the lines well, but sometimes it's about recognization.
For comedy, I usually watch a cartoon, like Excel Saga, Dr. Katz or Home Movies, or a sitcom like Arrested Development (David Cross is great in the series, but the story takes the cake). The last episode, there was a flashback of a rich boy who wanted to get back at the maid who accidently let the boy's pet bird escape so he threw what he thought was her favourite toy (a dirtvac) at what he thought was her car (a public bus).-------------------- Hey, Smeg head, Hail CellClones!

Lots of funny shows listed here. The ones we watch are, in no particular order:
Dave Chappelle - pushes the boundaries like no other, BITCH!
Ali G - amazing what he can get his guests to say and do
Arrested Development - every character is great!
Larry David - "Fuck you, you car wash cunt!"
Anything with Mitch Hedberg
Comedy Central Presents is sometimes good, certainly for spotting new (to us) talent like Bill Burr and, of course, Mitch Hedberg
Seinfeld - There are a LOT that I have not seen
Simpsons - I see like one a year but always love it
Family Guy - second time around is a charm for this series!
Will and Grace - I still find it funny but I think it is getting close to an end
That 70's Show - gonna be sad when that finishes
Joey - actually better than I thought it would be, pleasantly suprised
Drew Cary - watch it once in a blue moon
Edit: Oh yeah, Dodgeball. I loved Stiller's character in the movie but I didn't LOVE the movie. I thought it was a little repetitive at times but I'll watch it again and see what I think. Stiller is the number one asshole and can play that part soooo well. I think his stuff is kinda like Fawlty Towers in the sense that he makes you cringe as you wonder what could possible go wrong next e.g. Meet the Parents! Vaugh is great too.

(max) Will and Grace!, Joey? WTH?  I agree with Larry David-Seinfeld, Simpsons used to be good. Trigger Happy (willy) I think Conan is very funny -he's the best. Carey was funny.
Stiller is funny. What about Reno 911, South fucking Park, Mad TV? [ 12-08-2004: Message edited by: Cacophonous ] -------------------- ...

Curb Your Enthusiasm can keep me in stiches through the whole show. It's not that Larry David is all that great at delivering comedy, but he is a very good comedic writer. I've tried to think of a favorite episode, but they're all so amusing. The Pants Tent was hysterical.Also favorites:
The 70's Show

OMG Dodgeball was excellent. Ben Stiller is and Vince Vaughn were great. quote:

White Goodman: Yeah you will take your chances.
Peter Lafleur: I know. I just said that.
White Goodman: I know you just said that.
Peter Lafleur: That’s what I just said.
White Goodman: Well that’s what I’m saying to you.
Peter Lafleur: Okay well I’m not sure where you’re going with this.
White Goodman: Well I’m not sure where you’re going with this.
Peter Lafleur: All right.
White Goodman: Touché.
Oh and that alternate ending cracked me up for several minutes. LOL
