Videos Monty Python Political satire Audio humor Jokes Links

As it is for many people, humor is one of my main passions in life and I have always been a big fan of the comedy of Monty Python, the Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields, and Woody Allen. I own videos of some of my favorite classic comedy movies like It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Groundhog Day, The President's Analyst, and What's New Pussycat . I can watch these great comedies over and over and they crack me up every time. In the 70s I was a big fan of British comedy like Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, and The Goodies, that were shown on American television. This is still some of my favorite humor. I miss those days, but thanks to DVD (previously VCR) videos and YouTube I can still enjoy them.

Here are many jokes I have gathered online, mostly from emails. When I get something in email that is incredibly funny, or simply incredible, I usually forward it to friends, but to extend its life I often preserve it here. I have "webified" all these, retaining the format of the original emails as much as possible. This is one of the most frequently updated sections on my website so if you enjoy it I encourage you to come her often. New jokes are added at the top of the list. The ones with a year in the title may be "dated" but they are still funny. All these are not jokes but all are worth sharing.
