I have always said that it is much easier to cry than to laugh.
I have watched Casablanca several times and I have cried every time. And every time I want to have an "eye clean up" so to say, I search for a film where a little boy (preferably with big innocent eyes) is lost. I cry out the movie, blow my nose and everything is fine.
I can even cry with cartoons. I cry and cry when Bambi loses his mother.
I cried when the firefly died at "The Princess and the frog".
But not many films have made me laugh. And comediens make me smile at the most.
So yesterday, when I met a Wanda Sykes at Netflix, I thought at first that I could always turn it off. But I didn´t. She wasn´t only funny. She was VERY clever. It was her wit that kept me glued to her show.
It is a political show so it is not for everyone here. But I strongly suggest @NJChicaa to watch it.
I had a break to share this with you. Now I´ll go on watching it.

Same here with me. I cry more watching movies than I laugh. Good that you have found a show worth watching and laughing. I strongly feel that work of comedian is the toughest one. It's tough to make someone laugh.

In my country there are too many comediens that try to make people laugh with easy jokes and not many that make us laugh showing how us, people, are.

@marguicha Loud and slapstick comedy is very common to these days. But it's rare to find one with subtle sense of humour and wit.

@arunima25 I don´t know if I would go on finding her so entertaining as her subjects were just a few. I´d have to see more of her.

Sykes is rather witty but not a favorite of mine. Enjoy.

@celticeagle I checked more of her shows on Youtube and I could not laugh any longer. It is the same routine over and over again

I enjoyed her show very much. I don´t know if I would go on liking her if I saw her often as her routine only taked of few subjects.

Not for me for sure but do enjoy it. If you want a real tearjerker I would suggest the film Beaches if you have not seen it before,

It is not easy to find a really funny movie that is notvulgar. I´d like to watch again "Some like it hot" to see if it has passed the barrier of time. I laughed a lot when I saw it.

@JudyEv He was too good looking for my taste. I preferred Bobby Darin and Paul Newmann.

@marguicha My Mum loved Tony Curtis. I thought he was pretty okay too.

@Happy2BeMe I´ll check about her. I only saw 2 shows so I´d have to see if her subjects are always the same or not.

I know who Wanda Sykes is; but I've never watched her comedy routines. I'm glad you enjoy them. Have a good day.
