I'm writing a comedy show with a mate of mine. We are interested in doing a sketch comedy series that we are going to put online. Its a sort of sketch comedy, each episode is only about 10 minutes. What I want to know is what makes others laugh, I know what makes me laugh, but I really need to know what makes other people laugh. Thanks.

Political and Ratial humour are pretty big right now. Personally some of the funniest things to me are jokes about stupidity, such examples are Lewis Black and Carlos Mencia. Then jokes that are just outrageous and random. People Like paton oswalt are funny because of Exageration. hope this helps.

One clever person mocking a stupid person, eg, Del boy and Rodney or Blackadder and Percy/the Prince/Baldrick/General Melchett. Goold old British wit :D

Try to make all your characters have a certain "way" about them for example Joey from "F.R.I.E.N.D.S." is very stupid, Marie from "Everybody Loves Raymond" is very annoyingly mother like, do you see what I mean.

Nothing makes me laugh!...

As for everyone else, it depends what your target audience is. If it's working class, throw in some cheap, quick jokes. Um, hell, what am I talking about? Ask someone who actually looks like they know what they're talking about, like boris no no or something.

Just about everything makes me laugh.

But complete randomness, and stuff that doesn't make sense is best.

'The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy' type humour cracks me up to no end. Theres a certain type of randomness to it......'Fairly Odd Parents' is that same type of funny again. Some would call it childish, I call it great. If not that kind of humour then definatly the British comedy type. eg: 'Allo Allo' or 'Blackadder'. Witty. :D

British people, because they're sooooooooo cute. You just want to pinch their oily, pock-marked, holier-than-thou, yes-there-IS-a-U-in-color little limey cheeks. :D

The few things in life that make me laugh are Russell Peters, Meat Puppet and...well, everything Rowan Atkinson does sends me into rapturous spasms of delight.

Edit: Jake, you prat xD There is a 'u' in colour.

Asking someone what makes them laugh is like cheating on a game. Why don't you just make up your own jokes & see if they're funny, ... If they're not, try harder.
