What makes you laugh over and over again even though you’ve heard or seen it a million times? For me, and it’s not at all PC, I always laugh when they play the “Indian/Middle Eastern” music on Howard Stern. It’s “Up, Up and Away” (a cheesy Fifth Dimension song), which is in no way, shape or form “Indian/Middle Eastern” except that, on this recording, it’s played on a sitar. I think I’ve been laughing at this for more than a decade. ---

The Far Side. I got The Complete Far Side last week and even though I read the majority of them already they still make me laugh out loud. ---

“I once shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don’t know” Always cracks me up. God bless the Marx Brothers. ---

I with **dwc1970** on the Warner Brothers cartoons. The Dick Van Dyke Show The Mary Tyler Moore Show (especially the episode where Chuckles the Clown dressed as Peter Peanut got shelled to death by a rogue elephant) Gone With the Wind parodies. I despise the movie but the parodies are funny Firesign Theater ---

The 2010 Year Old Man, with Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. This may be the funniest recording I’ve ever heard. I just think Mel Brooks is a multiple genius. When he dies, so does a big chunk of funny. ---
