Comedy Quotes

I just think ‘Broad City’ - Comedy Central’s answer to ‘Girls’ - is the best thing that’s been put on television in years. It’s amazing Picture Quote #1

I will remember the night I won the New Comedy Awards, as I was young and unformed, so that sticks in the mind. I’ve also done a fantastic gig at the Royal Albert Hall, which was amazing. Appearing in the Christopher Guest film was also a real highlight, even if I was only in it for a couple of minutes Picture Quote #1

At once I feel that comedy is this amazing sort of transcendent thing, and I’m also open to the fact that maybe it’s just an evolutionary hiccup, something that upright apes do in their free time Picture Quote #1

Rev Run is a living legend of Hip-Hop, who’s still making great music, but now he’s also the dad to an amazing family, ... This series takes us inside his world. It’s a kind of a reality ‘Father Knows Best’ with comedy, heart, Hip-Hop and drama-all under one roof at Run’s House Picture Quote #1

At one point when I was very young, when I was first starting out, I thought, ‘Well, one day I’ll be able to put all the music away and become a real comedian.’ But then I realized there are amazing musical comedians out there, that musical comedy is probably something I’ll always want to pursue Picture Quote #1

My younger sister’s a comedian. She has a sketch comedy group in Chicago called Schadenfreude and I look at her with such admiration and envy because it’s such an amazing thing to make someone laugh Picture Quote #1

I’m no good at anything but comedy, which I think I’m good at. I’m absolutely no good at networking; I’m terrible at acting; I’m terrible at dealing with executives; I’m terrible at collaborating. And I say whatever I want to say. But I think I’m good enough at comedy that I can survive. And I don’t really have an ambition for money Picture Quote #1

The landscape is television has changed so much, because there are so many outlets, that the odds of getting a zeitgeisty hit - you know how ‘American Idol’ seems to appeal to every human being on the planet? Doing that in comedy nowadays is very, very hard Picture Quote #1

Comedy is important! When you’re having a stressful day, and you come home, you want to watch something that makes you laugh Picture Quote #1

I think sadness and anger are really fertile ground for comedy. No one is really interested in a happy person doing comedy Picture Quote #1

I feel like everything comes into your life for a reason. With ‘Awake,’ I got to do a drama, and with ‘Anger Management,’ that’s my comedy Picture Quote #1

I know there are fewer women comics, and I think there’ll continue to be an inherent sexism in many industries, comedy being one, just because things do take a while to evolve. Things are changing, but it’s going to take time. I accept this rather than getting angry about it Picture Quote #1

My siblings and I, we were raised on TV and films. Not a day went by that we weren’t watching one of three movies - ‘Caddyshack,’ ‘Animal House,’ ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ - on rotation. Our comedy, our personalities were set watching ‘Sesame Street’: these really sort of wacky, Jim Henson-y characters Picture Quote #1

Comedy is there to basically show us we fart, we laugh, to make us realize we still are part animal Picture Quote #1

I personally just want to do as many different things as I can do, whether it’s comedy, drama, science fiction, horror, narrator... You’ve got a documentary, I’ve got a voice. Animated films. Big films, small films Picture Quote #1

They make three types of movies, and if you don’t make one of those three, you have to find independent financing: It’s either big-action superhero tent-pole thing, or it’s an animated film, or it’s an R-rated, raunchy sex comedy. They don’t make movies about real people Picture Quote #1

I think people are purists about what sketch comedy should be, and I think sometimes having too much fun can be a little annoying to some people Picture Quote #1

There’s so much I want to do. I love emotions, I love drama, I love comedy and I also want to take action up to another level, I love comics Picture Quote #1

I suddenly realized that comedy, for me, was just being honest, and playing it for real. I’ve seen so many wonderful actors who turn into creatures from another planet when they’re told they are supposed to be playing comedy Picture Quote #1

I do like any kind of project that has both comedy and drama in it because in life you don’t have one day where everything is funny then the next day everything is dramatic Picture Quote #1

If you’ve got the comedy eye, you can look at any situation and see the humor in it while others don’t Picture Quote #1

I talked about everything, man. I’ve always written material that everyone can laugh at. I talked about growing up. I did a lot of physical comedy. That was my thing. I was a physical comedian. I did anything and everything from running on a treadmill, I can paint a picture on stage of anything Picture Quote #1

No one set that I ever do is the same. I mean, if I go to a comedy club, and I perform three sets, all three sets are different because anything can happen in between sets Picture Quote #1

I think being successful in comedy is being funny and making jokes - anything beyond that is the icing on the cake Picture Quote #1

As a comedian I appreciate every kind of comedy. You decide for yourself what you’re going to do Picture Quote #1

Comedy is essentially made by young men, or older men with some form of arrested development, for young men or immature older men Picture Quote #1

The only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can’t fake it... try to fake three laughs in an hour - ha ha ha ha ha - they’ll take you away, man. You can’t Picture Quote #1

Buncha Losers’ comedy is one of those homegrown American art forms, up there with infomercials and Elvis-shaped soap carvings. No other civilization could have invented it. The French took a stab with Sartre’s ‘No Exit,’ but then they had to ruin it with a lesson at the end Picture Quote #1

I can’t pretend that I’m a great student of the art of comedy because anybody that becomes philosophical about humour doesn’t know what he’s talking about Picture Quote #1

I was on the improv team in high school, and after I graduated, I joined an improv company that had been established 10 years prior to me getting there. They did longform improv, and I fell in love with it. It’s acting, character creation, collaborative, artistic expression and comedy - and it’s scary. It was a big rush Picture Quote #1
