A Quote by Norman Wisdom

My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.

You hear people talking about a Scottish sense of humour, or a Glaswegian sense of humour, all sorts of countries and cities think that they've got this thing that they're funny.

Common sense and a sense of humour are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humour is just common sense, dancing. Those who lack humour are without judgment and should be trusted with nothing.

Clive James

The Dutch do have a slightly odd sense of humour.

Bill Bailey

A man of knowing attains to a sense of humour. Let this always be remembered. If you see someone who has no sense of humour, know well that that man has not known at all. If you come across a serious man, then you can be certain that he is a pretender. Knowing brings sincerity but all seriousness disappears. Knowing brings a playfulness; knowing brings a sense of humour. The sense of humour is a must.

I think I have got a very good sense of humour; other people don't, but I do. I also laugh at my own jokes.

Jennifer Johnston

It is not necessary to have a good sense of humour personally to do comedy well.

Paresh Rawal

The English take everything with an exquisite sense of humour. They are only offended if you tell them that they have no sense of humour.

George Mikes

People still talk about a British sense of humour, or French slapstick or how the Germans have no sense of humour - and it's just rubbish. I do strongly feel that we are all the bloody same.

Eddie Izzard

A lot of people have said that I've got a voice that speaks to children. I think I've got a natural naivety to me. I'm childish.

Geri Halliwell

'50/50' is a comedy. I shouldn't say it's a buddy comedy because it's not farcical, and it's based on a true story, but it's viewing that experience through a very truthful lens of humour.

Bryce Dallas Howard

Mother said," mocked the king. "Don't be childish." "We're children," Myrcella declared haughtily. "We're supposed to be childish." The Hound laughed. "She has you there.
