I think there are a lot of shows out there that value being hip or cool over being funny and heartfelt.
Alex Hirsch
Baseball players practice, runners practice, so how can you practice being funny? You get up onstage. You train as an improviser, playing make-believe, using the vernacular of improvisation, saying 'yes and' to other people's ideas, making statements.
Ali Farahnakian
Being funny is everything to me.
Allison Jones
The real challenge lies in maintaining dignity while being funny. I am in awe of Krushna Abhishek's energy and Bharti Singh's wit. They are infectious and selfless.
Amruta Khanvilkar
Since she got a cause and stopped being funny. I think she's real funny, but lately it's all been hearts and flowers and tears and saving teenagers and creating a role model. And that ain't funny. No giggles there.
Andy Richter
I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?
Andy Warhol

Angelica Ross
You shouldn't worry who gets the funny line, just that you're being funny as a double act. With us, it flips all the time. There's no real straight man or funny man.
Ant McPartlin
A lot of men are competitive about being funny.
Arden Myrin

Artie Lange
Rapping can be repetition sometimes. Sometimes you gotta highlight your words in a certain kind of way. So I always was a fan of sing-rapping. It was always funny to me a little bit, and I think that being funny and being able to laugh, even at yourself, is a form of flattery.
ASAP Ferg

Bernard Sahlins

Bobby Darin
No one remembers this because it's the whipping boy, but 'The Single Guy' was very well-reviewed and watched, and then the central concept became attacked by the very people who were putting it on. And then the next thing you know you're running in fear, and everyone stops being funny.
Brad Hall
I'm not someone who shies away from darkness being funny. I think that life is very dark at times, and there are things that are very funny about that.
Brett Gelman
With drama, you know if you're having a true moment, but in comedy, if somebody doesn't laugh, then you know you're not being funny. That's a really fun challenge, and that's what draws me to comedy.
Brooke Nevin
I've had an experience through music that has touched almost every part of me. It educated me in ways that I didn't get educated in school. So we try to lay on a bit of that, through being funny, being serious, playing hard.
Bruce Springsteen
I've always liked being funny and making people laugh. I was a cut-up when I was a kid and was always doing bits for my friends and family. I remember doing pratfalls on the playground in fourth grade for my friend and really hurting my hip.
I actually think of being funny as an odd turn of mind, like a mild disability, some weird way of looking at the world that you can't get rid of.
Everybody in my family's funny. Being funny was highly encouraged in our family, I think.

To all the girls out there who think being funny is not sexy, you are wrong!

The whole point of real comedy is that you can say something that is true, and by being funny, you can make it tolerable for people, and hopefully they'll laugh at you, too.
It's a grim business, this being funny. Every time you come up with a strong, satiric idea, the world tops it.
Doing stand-up takes the fun out of being funny.
I had a band before I did standup - I've always done music. I got known for being funny, and that's how I make a living - and from acting - but I never stopped playing and producing and recording music.

People don't realize it's not just about being funny, and they don't know how perceptive a comedian needs to be about human nature. You have to really be able to read a situation and peoples' emotions.
Being funny, it turns out, is like being a bank. It's a confidence trick. As long as everyone believes in you, you are fine.

I don't know if you know you're funny, but you enjoy being funny. I know I'm funny because people tell me I am, but when I watch myself, it doesn't make me laugh. Does that make sense? Because I know the jokes, and to me, I feel like I'm pulling the wool over people's eyes. And there are probably people who do not enjoy what I do.
The hardest part, for real, is probably when you just don't feel like going on stage and being funny.
