"And now for something completely different.."

Oh, Ivaldean, I knew I liked you for more than your biblical knowledge. you are a girl after my own heart. I am the type of woman that can beat the crap out of a man if need be, while wearing a formal dress. LOL. I dig a good slasher film and I love to lounge with a good t and A film like Porky's or Animal House.

I can also tell and laugh at the dirtiest of jokes. If this makes me less than a woman....

Animal House is one of my all time favorite movies! Right up there with Monty Python Holy Grail.

Although I must say that I did pretty much like the first American Pie movie, that one was pretty funny.

Dirty jokes? Please, I was a bartender for years I collected them!

I bartended too. OH, American Pie was great. I loved it mostly because it reminded me of Porky's and Animal house and the Last American Virgin....If you know that oone, I will swear we were seperated at birth. LMAO

Know and love them all....they all make me laugh my proverbial off. Own them all so that I can watch them whenever I want, along with Monty Python. Sometimes my kids and I (who are adult boys now) will have movie nights and pick two to watch along with really unhealthy southern meals just like when they were teenagers. Such fun. I think that all of our spouses don't quite "get" us, still.

Preach Girl!! I am totally with you. LMAO. I love the Parrot. "THIS parrot is dead!!" Banging parrot's head on the counter. And the "silly walks". OMG, I'm laughing so Hard I cannot breathe.

For me, it started with the three stooges. I don't know where your are in life, but I am 39. I was chastised by my peers for liking this goofy slapstick comedy. My husband and I love to watch the Sci Fi channel together. We also dig "Chiller" on Direct TV. I recall seeing the first Friday the 13th in the theater and I had a slumber party at which we watched Friday, part 2 and Halloween 1 and 2. Then we put in Phantasm. Great party.

From one less than to another. Thanks for the reply and the memories.

"I fart in your general direction" is still a tag line with my kids. Then we nearly fall on the ground in peels of laughter. Our spouses don't understand why we think this is so funny, guess they never well.

When my boys were teens we watched the Flying Circus and even Faulty Towers over and over again.

I guess it requires a certain mind set to find this funny.

What about Benny Hill??? I used to watch his show every night and laugh like an idiot. Tooooooo funny.

My husband shares my humor. I think that's why we became friends in the first place.

He's not pinin'! He's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies! He's kicked the bucket, shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!

THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

OMG! That is so funny. Every time I watch it after almost 35+ yrs I still get tears in my eyes.

Hubby is a Fawlty Towers addict, along with anything by Rowan Atkinson. He's got about 30 episodes of Blackadder on tape.

My mom got me a couple of seasons of Benny Hill on DVD for Christmas. Awesome.

I think one of my all time favorites, since we're on British comedy, is "Absolutely Fabulous". Just nothing short of frickin hilarious. Reminded me way too much of my high school years!

OMG, Ab Fab is phucking hysterical. I love, love, love Patsy. I would say that it reminds me of my teen years, but they are such a blur. LOL

I see the promos and all I want to do is kill someone.

Oh my, I can relate to that!

I am not alone?

I dig the romantic comedies of the 80's, "Some Kind of Wonderful" comes to mind. But I'm not a "chick flick" fan.

My favorite Python film is "The Life of Bryan." Friggin hilarious movie. My female friends would rather watch "When Harry met Sally." What a waste. LOL

I never saw When Harry met Sally because when I saw the promos I would get so angry.My favorite Romantic comedy is Moonstruck. It has equal amounts of comedy and romance.

LOL, I can actually agree. I'm supposed to love shopping, hate slapstick comedy and horror movies, love "chick flicks", etc, and if I vary from these set gender roles, I must be a lesbian. When I started this discussion, my husband and I were laughing at the Monty Python marathon that was on television. Just because I don't fall into a certain gender role, I shouldn't be counted as less. Yes, very weird.

From what I read here of Americans I would imagine that sexual roles in UK are less defined and hold lesser normative force.

all the best urban
