The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen
Shenoah Allen: Arsenio Hall having a bad day in Amazon Women On The Moon. This is my 10-year-old self talking, but I think it still holds up, as does the entire movie.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen
Mark Chavez: I once saw an episode of [TLC show] My Strange Addiction where a woman was addicted to eating “cushion”. She snacked on the foam rubber inside of couches. I think it was the way she kept saying “I eat cushion” that was so funny.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen
SA: Waiting For Guffman, but The Day After Tomorrow is a close second.
The funniest person I know
MC: Either Shenoah Allen or Steven Wright. But I don’t know Steven Wright, so there you go.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had
SA: Once we were doing these hippy characters in Seattle, and this woman got up on stage and said, “You’re making fun of people who are trying to make a difference!” She then scolded the audience, shouting “and you’re all laughing at it!”, then stormed out. Being that I’m a conservationist, vegetarian feminist who does yoga and was raised by gay parents on a commune, I don’t think she was choosing her battles very well.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned
MC: A gold chain. I used to wear a gold chain on my neck. Who did I think I was?
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten
SA: I stayed at this posh hotel once and had a very expensive set menu. It was seven courses called Textures of Cauliflower. They just kept bringing out cauliflower in different forms: steamed, pureed, raw-and-plain. It sucked.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny
MC: A person who is addicted to eating “cushion”.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had
SA: I once dreamed of a life in showbiz. What a joke.
