Comedy Quotes

There is nothing more profoundly serious than real comedy, which is an affirmation of human communion, redemption and grace Picture Quote #1

The girls that I grew up with, and my friends and I, we just never had interests in common. I loved comedy. I loved Saturday Night Live, Gilda Radner, Lucille Ball, and Goldie Hawn movies.

I come from a very expressive family, so it’s really not surprising that we became actors. There was a lot of real-life drama in our house. Some of it was drama, some of it was comedy and some of it was comic-tragedy Picture Quote #1

I think the best kind of comedy is the least self conscious. I think if you just sort of let the comedy happen without the elbow nudge, did you get it, did you get it. I love straight face comedy or subtle - relatively subtle comedy Picture Quote #1

I love Buster Keaton and I love physical comedy when it’s done in an emotionally understated way. I just like to play it, and I need the attention Picture Quote #1

Saturday Night Live was actually started with a show that Lorne Michaels and I did at a summer camp called Timberlane in Ontario when we were 14 and 15. We would do an improvisational show with music, comedy and acting Picture Quote #1

The striking thing about New Girl is that under all the comedy, theres something about the emotions and reactions that feels very real - much more real than other sitcoms. Like - maybe everybody is sort of laid bare in different ways Picture Quote #1

I went to a public high school and most of the comedy was coming from the black kids and the Asian kids and the Hispanic kids. And, the coolest kids to me where always the black kids. They were always fashion forward and they always dressed the coolest. They were always the best dancers, and just the coolest people Picture Quote #1

I love a lot of comedy movies. I think I fell in love with comedy when I was younger. My brother and I would always sit down and watch some of the classics. Bottle Rocket is one of my favorite comedies Picture Quote #1

I just always wrote songs as a side hobby. So it was sort of a natural thing to write comedy songs. But when I started writing songs, I wrote very serious songs. Or things that a 13-14 year-old would think are very serious issues Picture Quote #1

My parents are desperate, they keep saying: ‘Please stop doing these angsty roles; make it easier for us.’ So, yeah, I’d love to do some comedy Picture Quote #1

I love 30 Rock.’ It’s one of my favorite shows. It’s certainly the gold standard of comedy writing Picture Quote #1

There’s the exciting part about comedy - if you catch an act just before they go mainstream, that’s the best. After they hit the mainstream, everything gets watered down a little bit Picture Quote #1

Because I’m around comedians all the time, in my downtime I tend not to watch comedy. Something the whole family enjoys is ‘You’ve Been Framed!’ It satisfies all of us. It’s universal, and we all laugh a lot Picture Quote #1

I’m not a comedian. I don’t do stand-up. I don’t tell jokes. I’m a comedic actor, and approach my work that way. The comedy comes through the character Picture Quote #1

I think that doing comedy and playing Dwight is a service.

Eugene Mirman is the Andy Warhol of comedy. People look to him for what’s next in comedy, and he emails these people back promptly. The Will to Whatevs put me in a great mood because I was laughing out loud. Alone. That’s hard to do Picture Quote #1

Donald Trump announced today he is running for president of the United States. Traditionally that means six more weeks of comedy Picture Quote #1

What is our life? A play of passion. Our mirth the music of division. Our mother’s wombs the tyring houses be, Where we are drest for this short Comedy Picture Quote #1

The idea of a musical comedy was something we had had in mind for many years, but the project ‘Igudesman and Joo: A Little Nightmare Music’ has a history that goes back five years. I can say that this is the most successful project that we have ever done Picture Quote #1

Just by nature, I think in comedy. I think in sketches and what have you. In every drama or action movie I’ve been in, I have to make a concerted effort not to turn it into a comedy. Every shot, before action is called and after cut is called, I’m usually in some goofy head space. It feels natural to me Picture Quote #1
