Or is it the case that she only began to adore and appreciate it when she was 8 years old? In that case how can you say that you're never too young to do so? If you really are never too young to do so, then she should have been appreciating and adoring it since she was born.

Huh? Shouldn't it be "bolted" to its perch, not "bolton" to its perch? How can something be bolton to something? You mean "bolted" to its perch, not "bolton". What on Earth is "bolton to its perch"?? That's neither a pun, nor a palindrome, nor any other recognised wordplay. If the parrot was flying quickly to Ipswich, then you could say that "it's boltin' to Ipswich", which would be a pun. But "bolton to its perch" is meaningless. Or, if the parrot was moving quickly to its perch, then you might say "it's boltin' to its perch". BTW its = belonging to it. It's = it is.

Can't say I agree. There are many types of sense of humor. From the disgusting sense of humor of young children from natural body functions, adult jokes which delight many men, physical humor from pain and injury, humor of when something is just completely 'out there', dry humor, puns, jokes, etc. Different things make different people laugh. I find dry humor to be my cup of tea, but I know many people who never find dry humor funny and prefer things that are more obviously jokes. There is very little I find funny about physical humor, but I have family who yuk it up when watching Britain's Funniest Home Videos. Many examples of different senses of humor exist. What works for one might not work for another.

You are right. I spoke too generally and strongly in my original comments. It is a matter of taste, context, nuance and degree etc whether laughter is effectively invoked in one case or another. But if you look into what makes all those types of humour funny per se, you will find it is basically the same innate human tendency and trait, only indefinitely differing manifestations. It is always a kind of sudden juxtaposition of expectation and surprise. If you study comedy and humour deeply, that is what you find. I suppose that is a platitude really.

Apparently humour comes increasingly with the self-reflective faculty. A few other animals seem to enjoy some humour but we revel in it and sing. There is a kind of uncontrollable delight whenever the surprising absurdity of our situation is immediately brought to our attention, though it effects different people in different ways. Human beings love to laugh and arguably it is our characteristic sound, like the neigh of a horse or something.

They missed a joke there. When John said it's irrelevant, the station assistant should have said, "No, it's a parrot."

You lucky person! You individual possessed of good fortune! How I myself wish such a thing could have been possible! Alas, I never took a drama class, only English classes where sometimes we acted out the parts of Shakespeare's plays. I would like to act, I think. it seems fun.

Proof of great comedy: it stands the test of time. I laughed so hard the first time I saw this sketch and over thirty years later, here I am still laughing just as hard. Thanks for sharing! Those 101 "unlikers" must be a pretty sad (clueless) bunch in my opinion...

This sketch is right up there with "Who's on First" as one of the funniest comedy routines of all time.

I've had this "line" in my head from one of their movies; i believe; and cannot find any results for it - unfortunately i don't know if i remember the line to quote perfectly, but they are being told what to do by a superior (knight or Lord) and one of them says something like; "so how would you like us to F--off? Oh, Lord??" -- - something close to that.
