Humor has historically been tied to the mores of the day. The Yellow Kid was predicated on what people thought was funny about the immigrant Irish. When you’re different in a society, you’re funny.

Dali had a good sense of humor – obviously you could tell just looking at him he was funny.

People ask me what the most important thing to take on the race is, and I always say it’s a sense of humor. If you’ve got nothing but a sense of humor, you will survive.

I think films about men are often about characters who don’t want to express their feelings. You’re supposed to kind of admire them for not expressing their feelings. And I feel that’s a bit dull. Women’s stories often have stronger emotional content, which I enjoy doing. What I really love doing is mixing that with humor.
Nigel Cole
Throw in the humor, throw in that personality, try things you wouldn’t normally try.
Melinda Clarke
I think my sense of humor is Jewish. I’m smarter than most white people, which is kind of a Jewish thing, too.

I love a girl with a sense of humor. Someone who can make me laugh and that I can get along with and talk with and who is just sweet overall, inside and out.

Randy Forbes
I like humor.
David Yates
Maybe there’s a chance to get back to grown-up films. Anything that uses humor and dramatic values to deal with human emotions and gets down to what people are to people.

Certainly, anyone whom I’ve witnessed, who has gone through something horrible and life-changing, has a sense of ironic humor, or an ability to look at the peculiarities of the world and find humor in it.
