Funny. Fred Allen MST3K (on a good night). Monty Python & the Holy Grail The original radio broadcasts of Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy (especially Marvin the Paranoid Android). The Marx Brothers, anywhere, anytime, especially Groucho. Early Bill Cosby (Hofstra remains one of my all time favorites). The Firesign Theatre. P.J. O'Rourke before he got too overtly political. Mort Sahl. Harold Ramis - as a screenwriter. Early George Carlin The old soap opera spoof 'SOAP'. Rob Becker. Bob Dole hawking Viagra.

Not Funny. The Three Stooges (maybe its just me, but I don't laugh ) Don Imus, Howard Stern, Rush, et al. Misogyny (see above) Jerry Lewis Ernest (in his movies, know what I mean?)
