The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
Monty Python’s Argument Sketch is hard to beat.
The funniest book I’ve ever read …
The dictionary. I really like the sample sentences. I often wonder: “Why this sentence?”
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …
That would have to be my entire family’s reaction to my pursuit of standup comedy as a career. It wasn’t so funny to me at the time, but now, as a prolonged, dull, aching heckle, I find it very funny.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen …
My father showed me the Pink Panther films when I was pretty young. I loved them, especially The Pink Panther Strikes Again. I think Peter Sellers was a genius.
The funniest person I know …
[Actor and comic] Albert Brooks. I probably laugh the most around him. He really is uniquely funny.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
Looking or smelling?
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
This would be a tie between all of the ones that have not almost killed me; I have life-threatening food allergies.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
You tell me.
The funniest number …
I find infinity to be very funny. Maybe because of how it looks – like a pair of goggles or a bikini top.
