Comedy Quotes (page 29)

Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring. Drew Curtis
Drama or comedy programming is still the surest way for advertisers to reach a mass audience. Once that changes, all bets are off. Dick Wolf
Whenever I catch a chunk of an Adam Sandler comedy on cable, it looks as badly shot and goofily tossed off as a Jerry Lewis gag reel once he hit the late downslide with 'Hardly Working' and 'Cracking Up.' James Wolcott
Historically, Hollywood comedy has arrived in skinny envelopes. From fence post Buster Keaton to herky-jerky Jerry Lewis to wiry nerve-bundle Woody Allen to hung-loose Richard Pryor to whippy contortionist Jim Carrey, its comics and clowns have tended to be sliced thin and bendable. James Wolcott
Feature-length film comedy is harder to pull off than the episodic sitcom - it doesn't have the same factory machinery up and running, teams of writers putting familiar characters through permutations - but that doesn't explain the widening quality gap that makes movie humor look like a genetic defective. James Wolcott
And what could be a hotter ticket than the improbable triumph of 'The Book of Mormon,' the musical-comedy moon shot of the season? Its creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, of Comedy Central's 'South Park,' are the most unlikely Rodgers and Hammerstein team ever to bowl a thundering strike. James Wolcott
John was the smartest and most amazing comedian I've ever worked with. I think more than teaching me about acting or comedy, he taught me about life and the love of people and respect of people. Kaley Cuoco
Alan Cumming quote: "I like the tragedies way more than the comedies because..."
I like the tragedies way more than the comedies because they're so universal. Alan Cumming
Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky. Macaulay Culkin
There are people who like just ordinary comedy fun, and making mistakes - which I do easily - and then there are people who like the falling over. Norman Wisdom
My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad. Norman Wisdom
I've an idea for doing a Situation Comedy myself but its always difficult to get people to listen to you because they like to put their own ideas forward. Norman Wisdom
Our records, if you have a dark sense of humor, were funny, but our records weren't about comedy. They were about protests, fantasy, confrontation and all that. Ice Cube
Ian Hislop quote: "The best comedy is where you attack the strong, not the weak."
The best comedy is where you attack the strong, not the weak. Ian Hislop
Sean Penn quote: "It has nothing to do with the emotional demands of a role;..."
It has nothing to do with the emotional demands of a role; I've done comedies that are as draining to me as any drama. Sean Penn
