OT: *I* think this is funny...

Me too. I haven't read Mad Magazine in decades, but I recognize Don Martin's work. He hasn't lost it.

Actually, he lost it in 2000. Unfortunately.

Dave Berry is another genius. That they border on slapstick is what keeps them from seeming even better in my mind. I prefer the drier Brit humor to slapstick and vaudeville. Forced humor like Jim Carrey and Ben Stiller is obnoxious to me, aka Dumb and Dumberer.

Berry can be a fun read. Carrey and Stiller are just plain stupid. So is Sandler. The last pratfall that cracked me up was in Wayne's World when that chick waved at Wayne and smashed into the side of that car (She, in real life, Danny Ackroyd's wife). And I'm with you on the dry Brit humour. (Chef has finally grown on me.)

I'm not familiar with the Brit humorists mentioned, but The Two Ronnies and Mr. Bean are familiar to me.

I was a Mad fan, also. Maybe that's why we are all so smart, smart, smart.... recalling Mad's satire on hypnosis, re: "Using effective techniques like, you're getting sleepy, you're getting sleepy, you're getting sleepy. We tried it and it didn't work, didn't work, didn't work."

The Brits also have humour which leaves me cold. You seen one Benny Hill, you're seen them all. The two Ronnies cracked me up. Mr. Bean got tired after a while. Still funny though.
