Louis CK is funny. I've watched him on youtube.

reply

I cannot STAND him. Anyo e else you like?

reply

I like movies with Eddie Murphy, Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor. I find them funny. Also Steve Martin and John Candy. Bill Murray. They can be funny at times.

reply

Yes i don't remember the name of the movie but richard pryor is teaching Gene Wilder to be "jive" - seventies talk? I guess? Anyway, they put shoe polish in Gene wilder's afro and it's hilarious- he starts walking with a boombox and talking like a psycho it is soooo funny. i saw it on a cable channel as a kid in the late 80's andi don't remember the name. :D

reply

I like See No Evil, Hear No Evil with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. Have you ever watched it? I think it also has Joan Severance and Kevin Spacey.

reply

No it is the only one i saw bc i was too young for those movies but i will now that you have given me a name! Thanks!

reply

I like Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Steve Martin and John Candy.

Bowfinger, Beverly Hills Cop, Midnight Run, Father of the Bride (the remakes with Steve Martin). Uncle Buck, Splash, The Burbs, Night at the Museum.

You like any of those?

reply

I liked Beverly Hills Cop. Eddie Murphy is hilarious! But you know I think he should have been nominated for an Oscar for Mr. Church. He was wonderful. You should see it, if you haven't. He was cheated. Hollywood has their favourites.

reply

I saw Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor. You watch that one?

reply

A long time ago but i LOVED Norbett lol!!!!!

reply

Night at the museum was with ben stiller? I loved that film.

reply

The comedian that made me laugh harder than any other was Rodney Dangerfield at the lounge in the old Tropicana circa 1977, before he really hit it big,

I have been thrilled by many of the greats but that one night back in July 1977 with Rodney (in the lounge for $4.95 including two drinks) at the Trop stands head and shoulders above all others.
