Who or what makes you laugh so hard that milk shoots out of your nose and why? Slapstick, dry witty comedy, your kids, Monty Python? – Kassie

If you’d seen me around ten o’clock last night, you would have realized that my husband is the one who cracks me up the most. He was leaping around the living room doing Really Weird Stuff and I couldn’t breathe because I was laughing so hard.

I just love a really good laugh. Tears streaming, high-pitched noises, a small bit of drool. It’s all good.

I hold SNL very dear to my heart. Daniel and I watch it every Saturday night and I really miss having Steve and Cassidy here to watch with us. My favorite cast members are Kristin Wiig and Bill Hader. I adore them.

Eddie Izzard also makes me laugh for hours. He’s absolutely brilliant, an amazing mime, and his noises are just spectacular. I do wish he still cross-dressed regularly.

I’m also a huge fan of Louis C.K. He’s the king of self-deprecating humor. He’s not very family-friendly (very little of this post is, I suppose) but he talks about real life in such a way that you want to cry and laugh all at the same time.

Obviously, we all have our favorite TV shows that make us laugh but the two shows that have made me laugh the ENTIRE time are Arrested Development and The IT Crowd.

Other milk-shooting-out-of-my-nose-funny-things:

– Overdue
– My mom and I trying to hold severe grimaces on our faces for so long that our neck muscles hurt for days
– Taping a cup of water to the bathroom door so that my mom would be soaked when she opened it but then being completely soaked when she slammed it shut after seeing my dad and I giggling
– Awkward Family Photos
– America’s Funniest Home Videos
– Hyperbole and a Half
– Crappy Pictures

I just need to end this post now, don’t I?
