(From Buster Keaton) I learned the greatness of a comedian. I learned that Buster didn’t care who got the laugh, he looked way beyond that; he looked to the people that needed laughter.Red Skelton (via ferdinandosmikethomson)

It has come to my attention that many of my American friends have never seen Father Ted.
This is an intervention. It’s for your own good.
Father Ted is a classic british sit-com about three Irish Catholic priests living together in the tiny, remote parish of Craggy Island. Ted is an egotist, Dougal is an idiot, and Jack is a lecherous drunk. Beyond that, nothing I say can do justice to the places it goes.
It is one of the best-loved and least reverent bits of TV ever to come out of the UK, and if you have any taste at all for the bleak, the absurd or the downright surreal, you owe it to yourself to click these links. Each episode is only 25 minutes long, and more or less perfect from beginning to end.

btw sorry about the little deluge of London 2012 stuff I just
I think I was actually really anxious that they would be all stuffy and serious
and now that they’ve proven once again that the one thing we can still do right is make fun of ourselves
I’m just
really
relieved
I don’t think I knew how much that mattered to me but it did and yes sorry okay that’s why this is happening don’t worry I’ll stop
Solemnity. I don’t know what it’s for. What is the point of it. The two most beautiful memorial services that I ever attended both had a lot of humour. And it somehow freed us all and made the services inspiring and cathartic. But solemnity. It serves pomposity and the self-important always know at some level of their consciousness that their egotism is going to be punctured by humour. That’s why they see it as a threat. And so, dishonestly, pretend that their deficiency makes their views more substantial when it only makes them feel bigger.John Cleese (via lazysmirk)
