Some of my favorite comedy.

I just thought I'd share these two clips. During the last week of the

semester, I sometimes let off steam by watching one of these two

clips. I think they are extremely funny, and the type of humor used in

both I think would work wonderfully in animation. I hope one day to

learn how to write stuff like this.

THE FISHER KING (d. Terry Gilliam, 1991)

In this scene from THE FISHER KING, Jeff Bridges' character is playing

cupid for his mentally-lost friend. In order to lure the woman of his

friend's dreams (Amanda Plummer), Bridges employs an out-of-work

Cabaret singer (Michael Jeter). I think Jeter's performance here is

priceless.

THE MEANING OF LIFE (d. Terry Jones, 1983)

What can I say about Monty Python, except brilliant. It's impossible

not to laugh at this brand of humor. British humor has always been

intriguing, but not like Python's. I love both the scene and the song

in this clip from THE MEANING OF LIFE. I would say the clip is pretty

self-explanitory.

The longer clip from the movie is just as funny. I recommend this for

those of you who are not offended, and in need of a good laugh.
