It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves you have a sense of humor.
Some people, they just don't get a joke.
I need a woman to have a quirky sense of humor. There's a bunch of jokes I use, and if she doesn't get them, she's probably not for me.
I don't really know jokes. I'm just in on the joke.
I think I have got a very good sense of humour; other people don't, but I do. I also laugh at my own jokes.
Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.
I'm a taker in terms of jokes. I love to hear a good joke, but I don't retain jokes. I'm not a good teller of jokes.
I think I have a good sense of humor, but I'm not, like, a joke-teller. I get the jokes, which is sometimes half the battle. Believe me, I have no idea why anyone hires me.
One should never risk a joke, even of the mildest and most unexceptional charters, except among people of culture and wit.
Audiences are always better pleased with a smart retort, some joke or epigram, than with any amount of reasoning.
Everyone says that I have no sense of humor, then I construct a perfectly sound pun around a well-known psychological condition, and it is ignored.
He who does not understand a joke, he does not understand Danish.
You can't just explain a joke. Either it isn't funny, or the person just totally missed the punchline.
You can read Kant by yourself, if you wanted to; but you must share a joke with someone else.
It's perfectly okay if you don't understand every single one of them. For one thing, I make a lot of corny jokes, and you have to be 40 years old to get some of them.
Fat jokes aren't relevant, but they're hilarious when you find them.
The next best thing to a very good joke is a very bad one.
There are practical things which contribute to a joke's funniness. People will find a joke funnier if they are sitting closer together, if it's cold, if they've paid and if they are told it's funny beforehand.
There is nothing in the world so incomprehensible as the joke we do not see.
I am a fan of whatever makes me laugh my ass off. If it happens to be a Jew joke, then it's a Jew joke.
Comedy is subjective, and any joke can be funny.
It's really stupid to defend your own jokes. That is for other people to do if they choose to.
I have a problem with telling jokes about physics. Quite often the audience have no idea what you are talking about and, to be honest, I don't know what I'm talking about either.
I have a true love for the old style of Catskill comic. There's a joy in discovering a bad joke... and then there's the joy of delivering it like, 'Isn't this a hacky joke?'
Occasionally you get that one person that says "I really like that one part of this joke" and you go, "Oh thank you that's my favorite part too." But no, in order for it to be authentic hopefully you have jokes that everyone can just get on board with and then you have a few things for yourself.
