If you can understand the humor in the drawing part you'll probably get the humor in the audio part.

I mean yeah I'm sure that Python and the other things have paved the way for a greater understanding of the British sense of humor but I don't think it's all that different than the American sense of humor.

For the most part comedians are pretty friendly with each other. They always say they badmouth each other but most of the time they're friends. We're the only ones that can really stand our type of humor.

Stand-up comics reflect less of a visual humor and more of a commentary.

I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.

Humor is merely tragedy standing on its head with its pants torn.

A sense of humor is the ability to understand a joke - and that the joke is oneself.

Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.

It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world.

I'm moving on. I should have made that clear when I made the announcement. I guess I wasn't clear. If people think you're leaving a show after all these years you might be retiring.

I'm not the type of guy who enjoys one-night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It's not even fun sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship.
