I've toured around the world. I've worked with men, women. I feel like I've been unusually lucky to have supportive friends around me, and I feel tremendously supportive about my peers. I can't wait to brag about how funny my friends are.
— Tig Notaro
My mother was a very, very funny, outrageous, outspoken person, and she never edited me. Her whole thing in my life was if anybody had a problem with me, tell them to go to hell.
I did this movie called 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' and I was an extra, and it was a movie that Oprah was producing. She had walked by, and I was making all the other extras laugh, and she said, 'You're a very funny young lady.' I was like, 'Eeeee!'
— Tiffany Haddish
I love when people overexaggerate. It's so funny to me.
— Tierra Whack
It doesn't even feel like racism is real. It just feels like the weirdest ploy, like we're just being had on so many levels. It's even kind of funny when you think about it. A reason not to like someone is 'because you're black.' C'mon, man. How dumb is that?
— Thundercat
Two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse.
— Thomas Szasz
I wasn't necessarily always funny, I don't know if I necessarily am - some would argue not - but I was definitely, always been a strange one. Definitely always an odd duck.
— Thomas Middleditch
I think when you go in, with film or television, you want to tell this narrative. And with 'Joshy,' you want it to be grounded with moments - it's not like, 'Everyone be as funny as you can, quickly, at all times!' It's not like that. You have to pick the right improvisers.
If you're a studio writer, the funny better be on the page.
— Thomas Lennon
I think all good drama is funny. All the best drama is ultimately very funny. Life is funny. You can't have any honest treatise on life without bumping into some humor.
— Thomas Jane
I know there's a CSI game. I've never seen it, though, so I'm not really sure. I hope it's interesting. I hope that they've done a good job making it, but because I've never seen it, the jury is still out on whether it's interesting or not. But it is funny to imagine that it's been turned into a game.
— Thomas Gibson
Music is more difficult - try naming a political band. The Dead Kennedys. The Dead Kennedys are political, but they are more funny than they are political.
— Thom Yorke
On the stage you're there, it's live. There's a beginning, a middle, an end. When something is funny you hear it right away.
— Theodore Bikel
I love my 'Survivor's Remorse' cast. They are so funny and crazy, like a big dysfunctional family. It's so much fun, and I love the issues that we talk about on that show. We deal with nuanced and controversial issues, and we do it in a way that's funny. It's comedy.
— Teyonah Parris
Fashion is a funny thing to talk about. I think what you wear is definitely an extension of you, but I also think it's totally arbitrary.
— Tessa Thompson
I did turn down 'The Virgin Suicides.' I talked to the producers about it, and I just honestly told them that I didn't get it. Is it supposed to be funny, is it a thriller, what is it?
— Terry Zwigoff
It's funny, because you want to make it different, but when I start building a character I do the same thing with each of them, which is start with a blank canvas. It's like painting a picture.
— Terry Notary
The funny response to 'One Mississippi' continues to be that people don't know what is true and what's fiction.
In person, my father is so friendly, so considerate, so funny, and so real. I have admired my father all of my life, and I love him with all my heart.
— Tiffany Trump
It's funny - in elementary school, I went by Amber. I never liked Tiffani.
— Tiffani Thiessen
I play a female Indiana Jones, a professor who hunts down precious objects, like a bowl that belonged to the Buddha. They tailored the role to me: I wanted to be smart, funny, and to kick some ass.
— Tia Carrere
I treat my cat like she's my therapist or something, because I talk to her all the time, and as she's gotten older, she talks back. It's pretty funny.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.
— Thomas Sowell
Everybody in comedy has something like that happen to them: They bomb, or no one shows up. You're like, 'Hey, I'm funny, trust me!' And the world collectively goes, 'Yeah, you and everybody else.'
'Baskets' is incredible - 'Baskets' is so funny and poignant and sad and dark.
The only guaranteed way to make something not very funny is to make it vague.
You can do anything with bayonets except sit on them.
— Thomas Hardy
A rich man's joke is always funny.
— Thomas Edward Brown
It's so funny, I'm always stealing from Moliere, and nobody ever notices. I steal from him willy-nilly.
— Theresa Rebeck
They're just jokes, people. They can't all be funny.
— Theo Von
Let's make some funny pictures.
— Tex Avery
I try to make a film that's very entertaining, very funny, but also gives you something to think about. And the strongest thing I have to offer is my point of view, to get across how I see the world in hopes that it can change the way other people see the world, hopefully for the better.
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
— Terry Pratchett
The funny thing about history is that we imagine that people didn't laugh in the old days, but of course they did, at stupid things.
— Terry Jones
I think that people are going to think of me however they want to think of me, whether it's female or gay or cancer or funny or unfunny.
People always tell me, 'You should do drama. You should do drama.' Even when I first got an agent, they were like, 'We want to send you out to be dramatic.' And I'm like, 'No. I'm a comedian. I'm funny. I want to do funny stuff.'
It's funny, for so long I hated my last name.
When I'm at home creating music, I usually wind up laughing. It's always, like, funny - like, what the hell did I just write?
Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.
— Thor Heyerdahl
I grew up a huge fan of The Three Stooges and Monty Python, so somebody getting slapped in the face with a fish, or falling out of a chair, or running into a door, or tripping over their own feet and eating it, is all stuff I find really, really funny.
— Thomas Sadoski
Improv is always seen as something that's funny, but worth a $5 ticket, $10 at most. I think ISC is one of those shows that is worth a real ticket price. It's hard-hitting and great and different every time.
My parents and my sister died... very close together, and after that, I lost quite a bit of my sense of humor. Most of it I think has kind of come back, but I know there was a time when I didn't think things were funny anymore. I kind of think they're funny again.
— Thomas McGuane
No, it's funny, when I eat out it's not typically in the kind of restaurants people might imagine.
— Thomas Keller
But I think once the word gets out that the movie is funny - funny is transcendent - it will traverse all demographic barriers if people embrace it as a funny movie.
— Thomas Haden Church
The chief function of the body is to carry the brain around.
— Thomas A. Edison
If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.
— Theodore Roosevelt
You look at 'Survivor's Remorse.' Or 'Blackish.' Or Issa Rae's brilliant, funny 'Insecure,' which started out on YouTube but is now on HBO. And you see multifaceted representations of the African-American experience. It's insanely exciting.
It's funny that I love golf so much because I'm not usually drawn to things I'm not so good at. It's all about practice and working and not getting discouraged.
— Tessa Virtue
People like light and silly, and they like stuff that's really energetic, and you get a character in a film bouncing around and screaming, people laugh. That's all it takes. I don't find that funny. To me, what's funny is dialogue and nuance of character and performance.
It's funny to be discovered by a lot of people who didn't know you before. People always used to say, 'Do you shop at Home Depot?' or 'Does your kid go to such and such school?' They want to know why they know me, even if they don't know my name. I don't think that's a bad thing, by the way; I think it's nice to be kind of anonymously famous.
— Terry O'Quinn
