The funniest ones to me were b, e, f, and i. I particularly liked the Bush impersonation one. I think humor depends on being able to relate to the situation in real-life, so if something isn’t funny, maybe the person has never experienced a similar situation.

Melinda,

You don’t want to get to close to my rating. Top commentor also means the person who most needs to get a life!!! JK.

Okay, I decided I better start commenting again because I am losing the race to be a top commenter. I know I don’t stand a chance at beating Marcy, but I want to at least stay in the top commenters list.

a- I think I would call this witty rather than just funny. 6
b- 7
c- depends on the movie
d- 5
e- will farell has gw’s mannerisms down pat, which is funny, but I agree that it was too long and started to get a little boring toward the end- 6 (if it was shorter I would rank it higher – btw, my rankings have nothing to do with my political leanings)
f- 8
g- 5
h- 4
i- 7
j- 7

I think that the best humor of all time is The Great Muppet Caper. It is such a classic. There are so many really funny moments in it that I can’t begin to list them. I have seen that movie maybe fifty times in my life and it still makes me laugh.

I thought most of them were funny. Im not one to rate humor as I have a sick and sarcastic sense of humor.

I’m not going to comment on all of them cuz I’m lazy. B scared me at first–have you seen those little clips where something all the sudden jumps out at you? I thought that was going to happen. I love D (big smile). E was too long, like Tara said, but I think I laughed out loud a couple times. G makes me cringe. H I never really thought of as funny. I is pretty funny (laugh out loud).

a) 4 b) 8 - totally had me fooled. i need to buy this product c) 4 d) 8 - took me a sec, but then i laughed out loud e) 6 - too long. some parts are funny, some were just stupid f) 7 - i like the dead-pan humor. the mac commercials are good too. g) 6 - i think i would have ranked this higher except i can see this happening to one or both of my boys h) 8 - one of my favorite passages in the BofM. i love ammon's rejoiner from vs 11-37. best quotes: "Who can glory too much in the Lord?" There never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we" "Now if this is boasting, even so will I boast." the whole chapter is funny - not laugh out loud kind, i guess, but for the scriptures this is as good as it gets! i love how fired-up ammon gets. in ch 27 he gets so overjoyed he passes out. i) 9 - i was laughing out loud, good belly chuckles, but controlling myself j) 6 I still like the Mom My Ride clip from YouTube. I would rank it a 9.
