Last week, I declared that Tina Fey isn't funny.
An anonymous reader replied to the post and asked a very reasonable question:
Who do you think is funny?
So here's a list of people I consider funny. Some of these people make me laugh out loud. Some of these people are more subtle in their humor. Some of these people made me laugh for one thing while others for a multitude of reasons. Some of these people aren't always funny. Some of these people aren't as funny as they used to be. Some of these people are sadly no longer with us.
I'm sure I'll leave some people off but away we go:
