  As it is for many people, humor is one of my main passions in life. I love reading something really funny but visual comedy will always be my favorite, both movies and TV
I have always been a big fan of the comedy of
Comedy movies
  I can watch these great comedies over and over and they crack me up every time.
TV shows
  Some of the best comedy of all time was British TV shows back in the '70s like I also like some American TV shows like And animated TV shows like  
Zap Comix
 
I am a big lover of underground comix, and when they came out im the late sixties I bought all the Zap Comix (Wikipedia), the best of the bunch. I have always loved drawing, and cartooning is the freeist form of that. I am a big fan of artist Robert Crumb (R. Crumb). I bought all the Zaps when I saw them, and then in the 90s I was in Key West, FL where I discovered a store that had them, so I replaced some of mine that were worn out. I still have them somewhere.

Comic book, poster, and album cover artists
 
    I'm also a big fan of Dilbert in the comics in the newspaper.  


Monty Python "And now for something completely different!"  
  Monty Python produced some of what I consider the most hilarious comedy of all time. Back in the early 70s they had a weekly TV show that I never missed. I purchased the The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus Megaset when it came out on DVD and now I can watch this great comedy whenever I feel like it.

Monty Python members: Sadly, Graham Chapman died of cancer in 1989 and Terry Jones died of cancer in 2020.

Political satire
    I had so much fun with political humor during the Bush presidency, but now that he has left office I will have to look for some new stuff.
Until I find it I am keeping these here because they are such gems.

Jokes
  Here are many jokes I have gathered online, mostly from emails and occasionally on Facebook. When I read something that is incredibly funny, or simply incredible, to extend its life I often preserve it here. I have "webified" any of these jokes that originated as email, retaining the original format as much as possible. The ones with a year in the title may be "dated" but they are still funny.
