I generally don't like it when the bus passes someone at a stop but I ALWAYS think it's funny when someone at the stop is acting too cool for school and doesn't look at the bus when it's approaching so it passes and they freak out waving their arms and everything as it goes by. In the scenerio I am on the bus and it's the funniest when it happens to Paris Hilton-looking, posh girls who think they're too good for the bus.

Generally I find failed pretention very funny.

Lancelot Link- Secret Chimp, of course!

"Lance Link" was the handle of one of my survivor group's several would-be nemeses in Urban Dead.  That guy was devoid of humor.  I never knew where he got his name; too bad he didn't model his character on that chimp, too.

In emails to friends, I do the "thanks equation" from Look Around you. "Thanks Ants, Thants"

Jokes about Peter Criss (no breast cancer material - too soon); particularly jokes about how cruel Gene Simmons was to Peter Criss.

I'm a sucker for ironically categorized DVDs in stores.

Today, I saw a Clerks DVD on a shelf with a banner that said "Action Classics" on it at Best Buy. A film where nobody gets up from their chair is an "Action Classic."

I swear on my mother that our local video store is organized this way: New releases, Foreign Language, Special Interest, and everything else....alphabetical order. My wife and I have been laughing about this for six years.

When someone is speaking and they get that bubble in their throat and temporarily sound like a 400-pound version of themselves.

Great entries so far.  Mispronounced words and KISS-related humor are favorite things of mine. 

'The Final Countdown' always makes me laugh.  Although it's pretty played out at this point. 

I thought about Tom's breakdown of 'Porcupine Pie' today and it made me laugh.

Mr. K. Dilkington

though i work on the hbo show and it's pretty much killed those podcasts for me.

Ace did nothing.

Was that line spliced in there?  Because a) he seemed to say it the same every time and b) it didn't make sense some of the times he said it.

Ace did nothing.

When I get an idea that I think might work for the show, and I call up, and the phone is ringing, and on the live feed from the iPod, with my phone still literally ringing in my ear, I hear Tom say "Hey it's Paul F Tompkins" or "Hey it's John Hodgman". Then Mike answers the phone and acknowledges my "Good timing on my part again, eh?"

It's happened 6 times in the last year!

To the listener's benefit, but still.

I'm sure The Scorpion King on Depravity's Rainbow last week would've been much less nervous had he not been following Hodgman's long, awesome cruise conversation.  I'm sure he knows how you feel.

Fake spoiling the end of movies/books.  "I was really suprised at the end of the Notebook when it turned out it was all a video game."
