Joke Quotes

I have a really analytical approach to art. And the whole idea that you can’t analyze what makes a joke funny...I do not agree with that at all Picture Quote #1

I came from the Groundlings Theatre in L.A., and there, you’re guaranteed to at least try something out in front of an audience. At ‘SNL,’ only the best stuff gets picked, and it’s taught me a very defined language of comedy. You learn the structure of a joke, which is not something I was very good at beforehand Picture Quote #1

It’s interesting to have the awkward moments play out, and the real human interactions. The more you cut that down, you lose the joke, which is that this is painful and hard Picture Quote #1

I think we’re the only jokeless show on television. I mean really, we have no setups and no punch lines. It’s not a joke show. There are funny lines and funny moments but again the comedy is born of the human experience and awkward pauses are a great part of what it is to be human Picture Quote #1

I love my babies so much that I could kiss them all day long..as a job. I could be a professional baby kisser. No joke Picture Quote #1

Sometimes an actor will stumble on the joke, and I’m right on them. Back it up before the audience hears the bad version of the joke, because humor is 90% surprise. If they know what’s coming, they won’t laugh as hard Picture Quote #1

I don’t do plays without jokes anymore. I’ve retired from those plays. I think it’s bad manners to invite people to sit in the dark for two and a half hours and not tell them the joke Picture Quote #1

You know that old joke about potheads having bad memories? Well, the bad memories are like pain, discomfort, and fear. So you lose all that, and the body reacts by healing faster and stronger Picture Quote #1

In movies, you don’t get reactions: Live, when you do a joke, you know in a second whether it’s good or bad. But in a movie, since no one is allowed to laugh or do anything, when you’re done with a scene, you’re left asking, ‘Was that funny?’ Picture Quote #1

I suppose every time [something bad happens], I have that instinct to make that joke that distracts Picture Quote #1

Some comedians tell nice jokes that you can tell to your kids. Some use bad words - they work ‘blue.’ If you don’t want to hear a joke that’s blue, you shouldn’t go to a comedy club where a comedian who makes blue jokes is performing Picture Quote #1

What ‘SNL’ taught me that was useful on ‘The Watch’ was, only put in bad words if they can get a laugh - there was no need for swear words and beeps in places that weren’t necessary. Those beeps should only be in there when they mean something and it’s important to the joke Picture Quote #1

I’m still no good at ball-and-stick games. If I go play golf with the guys, it’s intended to be a joke Picture Quote #1

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke - the fact that Madonna is in before Rush and Kiss. Those two bands have influenced so many groups and people other than in metal Picture Quote #1

When you’re in the editing room, the dangerous thing is that it becomes like telling a joke again and again and again. Eventually, the joke starts to not be funny. So you have to be careful that you’re not throwing the baby out with the bath water Picture Quote #1

A cute girl, a pissed off Were-spider, and an occult boulnty hunter carrying a small arsenal walk into a bar...I bet this joke was gonna have one helluva punch line Picture Quote #1

People confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke, and they’re very rarely the same Picture Quote #1

Humor can bring people under the tent. And a good joke can deflect some of the intensity surrounding a serious subject Picture Quote #1

A comedy can actually get funnier and funnier. Even though you know the joke, you enjoy it so much, it’s the facial expression, you laugh. The laugh doesn’t wear off. It could be with you for thirty years Picture Quote #1

There is a painful joke that Europeans often tell of their Gallic neighbors: God created France, the most beautiful country in the world with so much good in it, and ended up feeling guilty about it. He had to do something to make it fair. And so, he created the French people Picture Quote #1

Anything said with the purity of heart, mind and soul to enliven humanity is a beautiful quote, rest all is a crude, shameful and disgraceful joke Picture Quote #1

I don’t wear much makeup, except during work. I felt lucky to be chosen to be a model. I used to joke, ‘The next best thing to winning the lottery is having a beauty contract.’ Picture Quote #1

I learnt that fame is an illusion and everything about it is just a joke. I’m far more dangerous now, because I don’t care at all Picture Quote #1

There are precedents for what happens when societies allow the divide between rich and poor to get so huge that it stops being funny and starts becoming a sick, blood-boiling joke. If you had a Tardis, you could go back to 1917 and ask the Russian royal family how it was all going Picture Quote #1

Lacroix has been fantastic. He’s very nice. He gets the joke, and I think that’s a good thing Picture Quote #1

I’ve got to have something. I want to stop it all, the whole monumental grotesque joke, before it’s too late. But writing poems and letters doesn’t seem to do much good Picture Quote #1

Being broke is a joke, I never found it funny / That’s why I count my blessings / As much as I count my money Picture Quote #1

Well, I mean, if a joke or humor is bawdy, it’s got to be funny enough to warrant it. You can’t just have it bawdy or dirty just for the sake of being that - it’s got to be funny Picture Quote #1

I think you actually get a kick out of being disappointed and under-achieving, because it’s easier, isn’t it? Failure and unhappiness is easier because you can make a joke out of it Picture Quote #1

I like to joke that I probably hold the world record for rejection letters. Yes, the truth is that I was fed up of being rejected repeatedly, and self-publication was an act of defiance at traditional publishing. But life works in strange ways Picture Quote #1
