Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you're probably watching the wrong channel.
comedy ... is much harder to do than drama. It's not true that laugh and the world laughs with you. It's very hard to make a group of people laugh at the same thing; much easier to make them cry at the same thing. ... That's why great comic acting is probably the greatest acting there is.
I prefer to have one gigantic laugh preceded by several smaller laughs rather than a bunch of medium laughs all along.
Laugh it up, asshole. But she who laughs last laughs longest, and I intend to belly roll tonight ~Tabitha
Laugh and the world laughs with you!
When you watch an audience watching my movies, you realize that nobody laughs at the same time. Some people enjoy a beat, and then another group of people are laughing at a sight gag, and then someone laughs where nobody laughs before. They're not timed like a comedy. You're not supposed to laugh at every joke. You decide.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, an' it keeps on laughin'.
Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.

A buddha laughs too, but his laughter has the quality of a smile. His laughter has the feminine quality of grace. When an ignorant person laughs, his laughter is very aggressive, egoistic. The ignorant person always laughs at others. The contented person, the person who knows life a little, laughs at himself - at the whole play of life itself. It is not addressed to anybody in particular. He just laughs at the absurdity of it all... the impossibility of it all.
If I get big laughs, I'm a comedian. If I get little laughs, I'm a humorist. If I get no laughs, I'm a singer.
My problem is people seem to laugh at me, but the one that laughs harder than anybody is me.
Isn't it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you: Weep, and you weep alone. For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.
You're not just looking for laughs, but you're trying to do the characters first, and then the laughs come afterwards.
Sure, the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs, but they're uncomfortable laughs.
