Tickling my Funny Bone: #MFRW Blog Challenge, Week 18
It’s release day for my full-length Regency romance The Bastard’s Iberian Bride, but I can’t miss a post in the MFRW blog challenge! Here we go:
What tickles my Funny Bone
…and makes me laugh out loud?
Here are just a few, in no particular order:
The Marx Brothers
Duck Soup, A Day at the Races, A Night at the Opera–the Marx Brothers‘ movies still make me howl!
Lucy and Desi
Lucille Ball was a gifted comedienne, and working together with her husband Desi Arnaz, she came up with routines that were pure gold.
The Honeymooners
The Honeymooners‘ ensemble cast was comedy magic.
The Brits
I confess, it’s the earthy humor that really makes me laugh, and the Brits do it so well. Monty Python’s Flying Circus was hysterical–I need to find some of those old shows and view them again! I also I liked this guy, Benny Hill.
The Americans
I love, love, love, all the guys of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Those guys never fail to make me laugh, even when I’ve heard the joke before.
And then there’s Billy Crystal. Everything he does is good, but I especially like the movie Analyze This. Have you seen it? If not, go find it today! You’ll be laughing out loud too!
This is a blog hop so hop along with my fellow MFRW authors and see what they find funny!

I love Billy Crystal and wish he’d go back to hosting the Oscars:) I also enjoy The Blue Collar guys!
Oh, I definitely agree about Billy Crystal and the Oscars. For me, he was the only reason to watch. Wouldn’t it be great if they put the Blue Collar guys on to host that show?
Lucy still makes me laugh. I love the chocolate factory episode. I don’t remember seeing Analyze This, which must mean I didn’t see it. Sounds like a good movie for Saturday night. Congrats on your new release, Alina.
Thanks, Mary! And definitely watch that movie if get a chance.
Watched the trailer. I rented it from Amazon. I’ll be watching this weekend. I remember I wanted to see this movie. Thanks!
Nice choice of those who make the world laugh.
Thanks, Helen!
I love those classic comedies, too. Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate factory and Lucy’s Vitameatavegamin commercial still crack me up. Also like British comedy.
I love Lucy’s grape-stomping experience also!
Congrats on your release!!! How exciting. I agree about Lucille Ball. Oh and I forgot about Billy Crystal. The movie City Slickers was a funny one.
Thanks, Meka!
I remember my parents watching the Honeymooners. I never quite got it. But I love the British comedies. Just thinking about Fawlty Towers makes me laugh. Waiting For God, Are You Being Served, Keeping Up Appearances bring a smile.
The Honeymooners definitely depicts a different era of working class folks. I have to check out Keeping up Appearances! Thanks for stopping by.
How could I forget Benny Hill!
Love the Brits. And Lucy. I love Lucy.
Clearly, you like classic television!
OMG! How could I have forgotten Benny Hill? He was one of my faves and gone far too soon. Adding him to my list!
Oh – I forgot to say congratulations on your new release!
I love Lucy and Billy Crystal too! great list of funnies!
Congratulations on your new release!
