Wit: a whim followed by a wham.
Humorists always sit at the children's table.
Oh- my twitchy witchy girl I think you are so nice, I give you bowls of porridge And I give you bowls of ice Cream. I give you lots of kisses, And I give lots of hugs, But I never give you sandwiches With bugs In.
A jest often decides matters of importance more effectively and happily than seriousness.
I'm a huge Muppets fan. Gigantic. I think they're genius. I think they're some of the best work out there and completely underrated, just because of how genius they are. I love that kind of humor. It's so innocent but brilliant.
Humor is based on surprise, and surprise is a milder way of saying shock. It's surprise that makes the joke.
The naive was only a part of my fairy tales; humour was the real salt in them.
Comedy - particularly the frothy and frivolous - is notoriously neglected by festivals and awards. But it's bloody hard to get right.
There's something whimsical, satirical, and silly about British humor, which Americans have always enjoyed, and lots of us come over here because we have an audience of people who enjoy it.
I like to respond with jokes and to keep it as light as possible.
