A couple of days ago my husband and I went out ON A DATE and saw the movie "Knocked Up," which is by the guy who made "The 40 Year Old Virgin." It was really crude humor, which is probably why we laughed so much. It felt really, really good to laugh like that. There aren't that many movies that have been made, say, oh, in the last 10 years that really make me laugh hard. "Virgin" was one of the few. Also "Old School" and "Dodgeball." I could watch those three movies over and over and still laugh until my facial muscles get all twitchy and tears course down my cheeks. Ah, good times. Sometimes, after a long week filled with the demands of small children, home maintenance, and all the other gobbly-gook that comes with life, the only thing that can really bring release is a good, long laugh. What movies or TV shows make you laugh?

I bought DVDs for a few seasons of Seinfeld, and when DH and I need a few laughs, we'll watch an episode or two after the kids have gone to bed.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but I though Borat was hilarious. Plus any of the mockumentaries by Christopher Guest, but primarily Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show. I could see those over and over.

For me it's all about Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. Brains, good looks and a great sense of humor all rolled up into one. Yum!

The Simpsons! Just thinking of certain episodes like "football in the crotch" can bring me to tears. We also had this weird period after my first was born where we'd get sucked into watching "American's Funniest Videos" on Friday nights. We'd laugh until we cried. And of course it was all the low-brow, slapstick kind of stuff. It complemented the weird punch-drunk lack of sleep haze that all new parents float through for a time...

Simpsons, check. Seinfeld, check. And as long as we're in full confessional mode, South Park reruns. On the movie front, give me just about everything that's already been listed and There's Something About Mary. That scene when Ben Stiller zips himself up on prom night? Classic.
