That is the saving grace of humor, if you fail no one is laughing at you.
A. Whitney Brown
With my humor, I end up offending everybody!
Abhay Deol
The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks.

Because they'll have to hire you, they can't really fire you, and you don't have to produce that much. It'll be awesome.'
Adam Carolla
Democratic politicians have disliked things I've written, Republican politicians... if they all love you, you might as well be driving a Good Humor truck.
Adam Clymer

Adam DeVine
Being Jewish is a big part of my artistic sensibility and my humor... I think it gives me a certain take on the world on a literary level.
Adam Mansbach
I don't think arrested-adolescent humor will fade. Maybe the form will change, but I guarantee its replacement will still be based in immature behavior from mature figures.
Adam McKay
I've used my sense of humor as a coping tool. It's gotten me through a lot of challenging times.
Adam Rippon
I think 'Piranha' won't be in the guilty-pleasure category, because it's gonna be - well, yeah, maybe for some people. From what I've seen, it has a sense of humor about itself, and it's also really scary and really, really violent. I would call it a popcorn movie from the planet Popcorn.
Adam Scott
Poor David Hume is dying fast, but with more real cheerfulness and good humor and with more real resignation to the necessary course of things, than any whining Christian ever dyed with pretended resignation to the will of God.
Adam Smith
I've hung on for a long time in this business and had some success, and I think it's keeping an open mind and being curious and having a sense of humor about oneself that's important.
Adam West
I get called 'Mayor West' a lot in airports. I've been very fortunate to have a fan base that keeps growing, and the work gets such a warm response and humor from people.
My paintings capture the humor, zaniness, and depth of the Batman villains as well as the Freudian motivations of Batman as an all-too-human, venerable, and funny vigilante superhero.
I talk about any number of things on my Facebook space. Politics. Current events. The writing life. The latest tempests in a teapot centering on fandom. Daily doings from my own life. My cats, for crying out loud. Flights of humorous fantasy. Books, both those I've read and those I've written. Movies. And occasionally, TV shows.
Adam-Troy Castro
David Ayer is known for being a very serious filmmaker, but he has a very great sense of humor.
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
The beauty of comedy is you can really push things. Hopefully, you're with people with a sense of humor and can relate to it.
Adrien Brody
Inserting my personal brand of humor is something I have at times had trouble doing - but I feel like I've been learning about it a little more, how to do it, and how it helps my songs.
Aesop Rock
Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.
Agnes Repplier
Humor distorts nothing, and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals.

There is - I mean - I found early in life that righteous indignation is a little off-putting, and so I try to couch it with humor.
Bob Dole used to be really funny. Barney Frank can be kind of funny. Bob Kerrey has a good sense of humor.
I have seen and heard comedians who had really funny 'stuff' but yet could not make the people laugh; then, again - I have seen others whose stuff was anything but humorous, and the audience would howl with laughter.
One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy.
It's hard to force creativity and humor.
There's a charm, there's a rhythm, there's a soul to Jewish humor. When I first saw Richard Pryor perform, I told him, 'You're doing a Jewish act.'
And humor has always been a weapon. You want to get even on somebody? You want to attack somebody? Make fun of them.
We get the worrywart, the hypochondriac, the money-grubbing miser, the intractable negotiator... Some would say certain of these refer to the stereotypical, or 'stage' Jew. But objectively speaking, the only crime in humor is an unfunny joke.
If you stop and think about it, nearly all great humor is at the expense of someone or something.
I'm not a particularly dark individual. I have my moments, it's true, but I do have a sense of humor.
Never make a joke or try for humor at someone else's expense. In a high-stakes environment, everyone needs to feel safe.
If one tends to be a humorous person and you have a sense of humor the rest of your life then you can certainly lighten the load, I think, by bringing that to your trials and tribulations. It's easy to have a sense of humor when everything is going well.
There are psychological repercussions to illness and we need a little more help to get through the effects not only on the afflicted but on the family. And I think there's even a place for humor in that.
In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming.
Down the road, I'll probably have a kid or two or three. And there will probably be political events or spiritual things to comment on, and humor.

My humor is traced with dark - I've got dark patches all over the place.
The wealthy don't have any sense of humor. It's not like the English, where the theater is perhaps the one place where they have a sense of humor about themselves.
Sad music, I always thought, is more beautiful than other music. But at the same time, I am in my personal life a very happy guy. I have a sense of humor. I am not the kind of depressed guy all the time brooding. No. I am very enthusiastic about things.
We are fans of Mozart and Beethoven, as well 'South Park' and Borat. We believe that we can attract many people who eschew the serious ambiance of concert halls and don't go to classical music concerts because of such reasons. However, there is a 'serious humor' on the stage: funny and ridiculous. That is important!
From the very beginning, I started doing music performances with a lot of theatrical aspects to them, where humor was a part of it but not necessarily had to be. Humor is just another tool to make the palette more rich and interesting for myself and eventually for the public. It's a great way to break out of convention.
Our first show, 'A Little Nightmare Music,' encompasses a lot of zany humor with beautiful classical music.
I think humor can be an effective way of getting the point across, but there are definitely times where I just write very earnestly.
Someone asked me what the key to being a good frontman was, and I think having a sense of humor about it is pretty near the top of that list. It's a very strange place to be in, and I don't take that role too seriously.
The great thing about 'Weeds' is that everything we do is never quite serious enough to be taken seriously. It always has humor behind it, and it think it makes it definitely more fun for the audience.
I get asked, 'How can you have such failures in your films?' Well, what else is life about? There's some sense of constant failure in something. Humor gives you a distance from it.
