He had the vocal timbre of Bob Dylan.

Rodney Dangerfield is definitely underrated with the kids today.

Yessir. This is a brilliant observation posted in the comments:

Norm once mentioned in some interview that the beauty of Dangerfield's delivery is the flash of pain in his eyes after each joke.

The kinetic typographical animation of Fry's thoughts on Language is my all-time favorite video on YouTube.



Fry also recalls an amusing anecdote about JK Rowling during Fry's recording of the audiobooks for the Harry Potter series.



And for anyone making a first-venture into the hilarity of QI, Series B episode 05, "Bears" is my pick for the all-time best episode.

And the No Such Thing As A Fish podcast hosted by the QI elves is delightful as well for anyone craving more QI goodness.

Thanks for sharing the classic clip!

That's a trend, not a rule, and not even what I was getting at. A well-structured joke can be funny no matter the content, but jokes based in bigotry aren't light-hearted. Even in cases where it's effectively approached light-heartedly, the impact of the humour often comes from the shock of reframing a heavy subject in such a way. Chapelle's barely in the category of quality anything humour, though his voice (and face!) are damn funny stuff when he's into it.
