HandyNZL 1 Report post Posted April 3, 2011 Alright my fellow TF1'ers...we've got the hot chicks thread, and we have the hot boys thread for the laydees (and Ben), and we have the joke thread....so three threads full of smut basically.... So here's a new thread where you can cheer up your fellow TF1'er by posting a video of something that made you laugh...could be stand-up, clip from a sitcom, whatever (your baby sister texting on her phone and falling into a pool because she's not looking where she is going...what a laff) So, I shall start with something that is classic Kiwiana...Billy T James....this is footage of a skit show he had back in the '80's on NZ tele...Billy T James sadly died in '91.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7HJhH9VVGU&feature=fvsr and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sodXJMJAyZw OK, spread the laffs everyone :D and Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted April 3, 2011 First favourite comedian was Paul Merton. He forms the most surreal ideas and delivers them in the most deadpan way, and after watching countless episodes of Have I Got News For You it's clear that there aren't many comedians who can get to a joke quicker than him. Probably one of the best panellists/improvisers ever, watch how he gets out of this: Another ridiculously good panellist is David Mitchell. His comedy is always based on logical observations and often delivered in an angry rant, one of the smartest comedians out there: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=M4AXOmPZ6fo Frankie Boyle is great for shock value comedy, he'll say anything and you can't help but laugh: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=gzV6fpSnkh0 Bill Hicks (no need to say much else): http://www.youtube.c...feature=related Sean Lock is just the weirdest kind of genius: (you have to watch it all) Ricky Gervais is a really good stand-up: Last, Stewart Lee is just sublime and completely de-constructs comedy in a way I haven't seen before: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=fY8_jBjA6cs http://www.youtube.c...h?v=w0i0RXMvzMs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
