I've been reading Nickolai Gogol's stuff to my kids. Weirdly, they got into his short play Marriage, and so, we're starting into The Government Inspector, which may be my favorite comedy ever written. Anybody have other favorite funny pages? For some reason it's important to me to pass a serious love of funny stuff to my unfortunate cursed spawn. |

I suppose that as the connecting link is Spike, almost anything he's written that was supposed to be funny. Some of his serious stuff has the opposite effect and reduces me to tears. Such a talented man, whether at his highest or lowest ebbs. Then of course, there's Les Barker. But he won't thank me for it... LTS |

05 Sep 04 - 11:31 AM (#1264714) Subject: RE: BS: greatest written comedy From: Peter T. It partly depends on the kind of comedy you like. I tend to go for the increasingly insane farce, where you get punchdrunk, which is hard enough to keep the bubble going on a stage, but to do it writing is hard, hard, hard -- (1) Catch 22 is the funniest book ever written; (2) Several of Mark Twain's essays are insanely funny, especially when read aloud -- the two best may be "The McWilliamsons and the Burglar Alarm" and "The Great French Duel"; (3) One or two of S.J. Perelman's stories move into the insane bubble; (4) The films, Twentieth Century, His Girl Friday, and Bringing Up Baby all have the same supersonic nutsy quality some of us love. yours, Peter T. |

05 Sep 04 - 11:52 AM (#1264724) Subject: RE: BS: greatest written comedy From: Stilly River Sage O. Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief" is one my kids loved when they were small. As they got older (they're now 12 and 16, and we still read out loud on occasion) I enjoyed bringing them some more sophisticated stories like Roald Dahl's "Parson's Pleasure." That is one of my favorite all-time short stories, but I enjoy all of Dahl's work. The stories about the rat catcher, read in sequence, are positively agonizing, they're so well-crafted. I also agree about Mark Twain. Huckleberry Finn is one of the funniest and also most thought-provoking novels ever written. SRS |

06 Sep 04 - 02:11 AM (#1265085) Subject: RE: BS: greatest written comedy From: Stilly River Sage I looked around, but this little James Thurber gem doesn't seem to be online. It first appeared in The New Yorker. The Little Girl and the Wolf One afternoon a big wolf waited in a dark forest for a little girl to come along carrying a basket of food for her grandmother. Finally a little girl did come along and she was carrying a basket of food. "Are you carrying that basket to your grandmother?" asked the wolf. The little girl said, yes, she was. So the wolf asked her where her grandmother lived and the little girl told him and he disappeared into the woods. When the little girl opened the door of her grandmother's house she saw that there was somebody in bed with a nightcap and nightgown on. She had approached no nearer than twenty-five feet from the bed when she saw that it was not her grandmother but the wolf, for even in a nightcap a wolf does not look any more like your grandmother than the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lion looks like Calvin Coolidge. So the little girl took an automatic out of her basket and shot the wolf dead. MORAL: IT IS NOT SO EASY TO FOOL LITTLE GIRLS NOWADAYS AS IT USED TO BE. |

Among his short stories and sketches, "Buck Fanshaw's Funeral" and "The Blue Jay Yarn." "Innocents Abroad" is hilarious in places. "Huckleberry Finn" is not all funny, but it can be appreciated on many levels, and can be read several times during a lifetime. It's not too early to start now. I agree that "Catch-22" is the world's funniest novel, but I'm afraid much of the dark humor will be over the heads of kids. It's all about hypocrisy, really. |

I have just got around to Catch 22, I have to admit it has been a long time since I have laughed out loud so much reading a book. While I was in High School I had a book called Bert Fegg's "Nasty" Book of Knowledge". It was by the Python crew. I remember reading it alone at lunch, tears streaming down my face, unable to breathe or explain to anyone what I was laughing at. I loaned it out to someone and I didn't get it back. I don't think it's still in print. I wonder if it would seem as funny now. 'Spaw, I read all the Groucho and Harpo Books. I too would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at the Algonquin Round Table. Steinbeck's "Cannery Row" and "Tortilla Flats" were some pretty funny books, especially compared to his more serious works. John Irving always makes me laugh. |

I recently read Thurber's "The Car We Used to Push" to my 14-year-old, and we both ended up on the floor when I got to the Get-Ready Man during the production of King Lear. Some of PG Wodehouse's funniest effects are achieved only because they are printed--they'd make little sense read aloud. I'm thinking of Bertie's tendency to use initials. I dunno if I'd laugh now, but I remember thinking Tom Robbins's Another Roadside Attraction very funny. (The exception I mentioned above is Confederacy of Dunces.

It has a very funny side, yes, but I'm of the camp that thinks it's almost as good as it's supposed to be. Conrad's Heart of Darkness is hilarious, and Murder In The Cathedral always reminds me of Monty Python. In this vein, Raymond Carver is also hilarious, maybe my most favorite. Italo Calvino in a sunnier way. Any theories about what's funny? I'm beginning to form a few. I think when one laughs it presupposes a sharing--even if the person is not present with whom you mean to share the laugh. (Laughing alone and to oneself is a cliche' tradition of the madman.) Any other theories? |

21 Sep 04 - 01:01 AM (#1276987) Subject: RE: BS: greatest written comedy From: HuwG If the criteria here is purely "written" comedy, then several of the suggestions above must be disqualified as they are visual or recorded humour, rather than written. For example, Monty Python's films, Monty Python and the Holy Grail", and Life of Brian are probably the most hilarious films I will ever see, but these originated as film scripts, designed to be seen rather than read. (Also, the remarkable slapstick skills of the Pythons and the supporting cast contributed to much of the humour). Likewise, Toms Stoppard's play and film, Rosenkrantz and guildenstern are dead is meant to be seen on stage rather than read. If the criteria is restricted to that which causes the reader to guffaw suddenly when alone or in company, then obviously Spike Milligan's works must rank high. Also, Wodehouse, Jerome K. Jerome, Thurber and Twain. I have always enjoyed Garrison Keillor's stuff, even without hearing his lugubrious tones over BBC Radio 4. May I nominate british author Michael Green, who wrote some hilarious books forty years ago on the subjects of coarse golf, rugby, sailing, acting and moving house. |
