We’re all so different, aren’t we?Sometimes our writing connects with readers and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes movies connect, sometimes they don’t. Personally, I think comedy has to be the hardest genre out there to write.
When it comes to what strikes our funny bone, I think it’s more than just the a simple you say tomato, I say tomato thing going. Not only are their cultural and race differences, but age, sex, mood, topic, political biases, and religious affiliation all play a part in our perceptions.
My husband routinely sends me jokes and stories via email that I just do not think are funny. There’s the sixteen year old teenaged 
boy who lives for South Park. Then you got your ninety year old grandmas who wouldn’t know how to turn on a computer who think no one could ever match the Lucille Balls and Jerry Lewis’s of their day. Remember Red Skelton? OMG am I old.Well, at least I know what OMG means. LOL!
There’s haha funny, there’s funny cute, there’s
laugh-your-butt-off funny, there’s heart-warming humor. And, unfortunately, t
here’s always the didn’t-quite-make-it, don’t-get-it, don’t-ever-want-to-get-it, yeah-right kind of comedy. That cutting edge type humor that works for one person and falls totally flat for another.Thank God for comedians who take risks, otherwise, we probably wouldn’t have M*A*S*H, or Jerry Seinfeld, or
Saturday Night Live. Think about 
how many SNL skits fall flat. But when they’re funny, they are tears-streaming-down-my-face funny. There’s nothing quite so entertaining as comedy that surprises and hits us just right.I’ll bet we could narrow down our favorite sexy actors to about
five guys. But if we’re going to talk favorite comedians, will our answers hit all over the place or will there be a consensus?So I’ve thrown up some pictures to spark the conversation, but, tell me, who is your favorite funny guy?
