There are a few jokes that my dad would tell me growing up that, no matter how many times he said it, would always make me laugh. One was when he would make a phone call (this worked better in the days before caller ID and omnipresent cell phones) and the person on the other end would say "hello" my dad would then say "Yes, hello. Is this the person to whom I am speaking?" It STILL makes me laugh, right now in fact. Very heartily.
Another joke was, when watching a film, and in a scene with TONS of extras, my dad would say "look, that's me right there!" Never failed to make me laugh. RIP dad. Rest in peace.
Oh wait... he's still alive. Nevermind.
This is off topic, but the comment sections on Videogum are literally the only comment section on the planet worth reading.
Case in point: I reached the end of this comment section, and I tried looking below it, to find the comment section. The comment section reads so well, and often provides the biggest laugh of my day, that I was actually looking for an AV Club style comment section below it.
AND IT WASN'T THERE! I love videogum.
Let's have a Movie Title Bland-a-Thon (must contain the word you and/or me and/or us and/or they):
Anyone But You
What's In It For Me?
...And They Said It Wouldn't Last
We Were Maid for Each Other (imagine the possibilities with THAT one!)
Anyone remember this guy? Late 90's rockabilly/hip hop! Waddya mean you don't remember?!

Has this already been nominated? I haven't seen it, but I really don't think I need to:

I think Gabe might be The Man in the White Hat. I tried doing some research on this, but I couldn't find anything. Something about Stephen King's The Stand... he's gonna get us into the apocalypse, and it's gonna be AWESOME!
I'm gonna take a stand and say, for the record, I do NOT find rape funny. I do, however, find closed captioning flubs to be kind of funny. Also, you have valid points.
Just by chance, yesterday, BoingBoing disproved the idea that ever kitty on the internet is cute!

Don't investigate any further if you've eaten in the past hour. I'm not kidding.
They were all knitting? They were ALL knitting! Oh, how ironic! Like tears on Turkish delight! Hey now, you know who would think that prank was genius? This guy!

I like the article for the content. But I also hate the article because Roger used the same title as Jay Leno's autobiography! Shame on you Roger!
Every article on Roger for the past two years has made me weepy. Now, back to the business of illuminating cinema!! Can't wait.
I'm not good with catchphrases, but here's an early screen shot of Anne's turn in the upcoming masterpiece...
