Comedy Quotes

I think when you dissect a joke too much, you have ruined whatever there is in comedy.
Bob Saget

I've never tried fatback. Probably 'cause it's called fatback. I don't know which word creeps me out more: fat or back. Why don't they just throw in "hairy" while they're at it? "This is some delicious hairy fatback."
Jim Gaffigan
-
I've seen so many excellent actors - excellent actors - who, the minute they're told they're in a comedy, turn into God knows what - creatures from another planet! I mean they just... the voice changes, they don't look the same, it's like - it has no similarity to any living human being, do you know what I mean?
Bea Arthur
-
That's what I love about sketch comedy: a sketch is five minutes, then it goes dark, and there's the potential for something else.
Jason Sudeikis
-
As soon as I go into a dark subject, like discussing the people I've loved and lost, I off-road into absurdist comedy perversion. It's both a means of protection and a kind of denial, a blessing and a curse. Wait, it's not a blessing at all. I guess it would be a bad habit and a curse.
Bob Saget
-
It's always the girl comedy and the guy comedy. It bums me out. You'd think there'd be a progression, from James L. Brooks and Nora Ephron into more subtle humor and behavior and psychology. All these interesting things people can learn about themselves by watching talented writers comment intelligently on someone else's emotional life.
Parker Posey
-
I mean, sometimes... a comedian becomes an actor, and they just don't deliver, because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful, and they get that mixed up sometimes, or don't even notice that that's the thing.
Eddie Izzard
-
What I like about Rebel's style of comedy is she never plays the victim... she's never been fazed by her shape; it's just the way it is. She would mock her appearance whatever she looked like.
Kate Jenkinson
-
There's a lot of comedy in 'The Guest,' so it was a bit more fun in a sense - it wasn't so heavy like 'It Follows.'
Maika Monroe
-
I wanted to be a vet before I got into comedy, but then once I found out how much gore goes into that job, I wanted nothing to do with it.
Brian Posehn
-
I've always been interested in socially political, or overtly political, comedy.
John Oliver
-
I have to do stand-up. I have to do something comedy-involved every day, or else I will lose my mind.
Pete Davidson
-
If you don't like the people, you're just doing a sketch. Which, in most cases, is comedy minus some emotional backbone.
Christopher Guest
-
I've done comedy, and I've done drama. I've sort of been a journeyman in my career so far.
Zachary Knighton
-
I think, in general, when you're doing comedy, you're having a good time regardless of the comedy table tennis that you're playing. I think you want that, too: you're rooting for two characters to be together, and you should feel that even when they're angry at each other, they're still in synch with each other.
Lake Bell
-
I came back to New York after college like any number of struggling performers, and you just find that niche where you can have some sort of impact. And for me that turned out to be comedy.
Billy Eichner
