I was, like, this token teen angst child of Broadway. It's so funny. What is that? I don't even know. But I loved it.
— Jennifer Damiano
Girls are supposed to be feminine and demure. Comedy isn't about that, so you just have to unlearn it. Certain women are so pretty, they can't go weird enough to be funny. You have to be willing to be ugly. I'm lucky my face can look so hideous.
— Jennifer Coolidge
Life can be dramatic and funny all in the same day.
— Jennifer Aniston
I had an idea of what I thought was funny. It's kind of based on how I am.
I don't care how handsome or fabulous or funny the groom is, or how sweet and accommodating the bride, or vice versa. Marriage is hard.
— Jenna McCarthy
By the way, I'm funniest when I'm not being funny. I'm better to laugh at than with, pretty much.
— Jemima Kirke
I like Donald. I guess I shouldn't call him that. I like President Trump. He's affable. He's funny.
— Jeff Zucker
My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were all funny, and I felt that energy, that delivery, that timing, that sarcasm. All that stuff seeped into my brain.
— Jeff Ross
I thought that through the strip, I could vent my spleen and be funny at the same time. But when it comes to humor, there's no substitute for reality and politicians.
— Jeff MacNelly
'White Teeth' has far too many characters, and its plot is tortured. But Smith has an astonishing intellect. She writes sharp dialogue for every age and race - and she's funny as hell.
— Jeff Giles
There's only one true superpower amongst human beings, and that is being funny. People treat you differently if you can make them laugh.
— Jeff Garlin
I've always said that instead of watching a guy juggle seven things amazingly I would rather see a really bad juggler who's really funny.
— Jeff Dunham
It's funny. You succeed, but now where are you gonna go from there? I've got to keep proving that I can laugh or cry more real each time.
— Jeff Bridges
When people are committed to things, and the world view they have is no longer in alignment with our world view, then it becomes funny.
— Jeff Baena
When I went to London, they told me I spoke with a funny accent - English with a Chinese accent.
— Jean-Georges Vongerichten
There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects, rather, an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world.
— Jean Baudrillard
The commentary track became a lot like the movie and there are some funny, long, awkward pauses that you can tell we're just trying to find stuff to say. None of us had gotten to really talk about the movie until that moment and they were in New York and we were in L.A.
— Jay Roach
I went out with seven actors in a row. There are problems with that. I've had the really good-looking dramatic actor, and that has its problems. And then I'll go out with the funny guy. It's almost like the funny guy has more to prove.
It's funny looking at yourself. You know how it is when you look back at old pictures? It's just funny looking back at yourself walking and talking at age 14.
— Jennifer Connelly
My hair has never been my greatest feature, so that was funny enough unto itself that my hair became so focused on.
Every girls' night needs a funny movie and a good conversation about guys! My friends and I also love picking outfits out for each other to try on at slumber parties. It's so fun.
— Jennette McCurdy
I just think that it's such a good show and timeless and still very funny, and that just makes me happy to have that whole first season in one concentrated space for people to enjoy so that it's not hit and miss trying to find it in syndication always.
— Jenna Elfman
The 'Hey now's' are delivered as people pass me. As I just get near ear range, I hear, 'Hey now!' and that's very funny.
— Jeffrey Tambor
I've actually tried to roast somebody that I don't like, and it doesn't go well. Either they're a bad sport or I'm not as funny as I could be.
The funny thing about 'Take Shelter' is that a lot of people talk about how it was allegory for the economy and things that were to happen. And that was so on the nose in the movie for me. I was like, 'That's obvious.' It's the other stuff about marriage and commitment and those other things that I spent the most time thinking about.
— Jeff Nichols
Working with Dav Pilkey was a dream come true. Dav is incredibly funny, and he's been a hero of mine for a long time. It was great bringing the 'Wimpy Kid' and 'Captain Underpants' worlds together!
— Jeff Kinney
I never analyze stuff with comedy because it's boring. It makes you stop being funny. Just be who you are and do what you do, and you're either funny or you're not.
The magic in performing as an entertaining ventriloquist happens when the characters come to life and the interaction between the separate personalities on stage becomes 'real.' Then don't forget that the act has to be funny, and to me, being funny and entertaining any given audience is more important than anything.
And regardless of the fact that in this country, certainly in the arts, we treat comedy as a second-class citizen, I've never thought of it that way. I've always thought it to be important. The last time I looked, the Greeks were holding up two masks. I've always thought of it not only as having equal value, but as the craft of it, being funny.
— Jeff Daniels
I try to become a singer. The guitar has always been abused with distortion units and funny sorts of effects, but when you don't do that and just let the genuine sound come through, there's a whole magic there.
— Jeff Beck
To be or not to be. That's not really a question.
— Jean-Luc Godard
I like the hot-cold, the sugar-salt, being able to play over-the-top and dramatic things - in the same film. Just as in my life, I can be very funny and at other times almost extinguished.
— Jean Dujardin
I'd like to think I'm funny.
— Jazz Jennings
I went from 250 to, like, 175 in three and a half, four months. And then I ended up graduating with honors. I went from a 2.4 to a 3.06 in a year. It's funny how those two are related. I don't want to say that if you lose weight, you'll get smarter, but... well, it worked for me.
— Jay Pharoah
I wasn't funny. My brother was the funny one in the family.
I read a lot of scripts that I just don't find very funny.
That's what I hate about a lot of comedies, when you're hitting a line or making it funny.
In person, RuPaul is warm, funny, personable - someone who thoroughly enjoys life.
— Jenna Wortham
Don't make being a girl or a victim part of your stand-up act. If you encounter sexism in the business, don't bring it on stage; it's not funny.
— Jen Kirkman
We did a thing that we would call we call 'hirstories.' H - I - R - S - T - O - R - Y. I would enact a young Mort. And that always felt - it was so funny - it felt more difficult than playing Maura.
Do you want me to apologize after every joke? If it doesn't offend somebody it's probably not a joke. It's probably an observation that's not funny. It's gotta offend somebody somewhere.
Political cartoonists get hung up on daily deadlines and the front page. The worst thing you can do is open up the newspaper and ask, 'What's funny about this?'
I think if everyone would write down the funny stories from their own childhoods, the world would be a better place.
I'm totally comfortable not being as funny as Larry David.
I think maybe one reason why ventriloquists are looked down on is because it's very difficult to be funny. I think what happens is that people get a dummy, they learn the technique of ventriloquism, they memorize the script, they think they're in show business.
Do I have a long-term plan? Kind of. I have a general direction, I think. But it's funny what comes down the pike.
I've always maintained that people that are funny and smart can do anything in film.
Only the mediocre are always at their best.
— Jean Giraudoux
The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest.
— Jean de la Bruyere
I never say a funny thing intentionally.
— Jayne Meadows
