Ask HN: Humour
I've found it very difficult to find things that are generally humourous nowadays, and I think humour is very important for good psychological health. So I want to know where do you guys get your daily doses of humour?

Rather than an IV drop of LOLCats or other Internet stuff, I try to find the humor in every day life. It is one thing to make a co-worker laugh, a better thing if they can make you laugh. I think funny stories do not affect me as much as hearing about something that happened to someone I know. Going to a movie is an exception, but I really think we can entertain ourselves by tapping into the people we know. Sharing instead of just consuming.
For me, Eddie Izzard always fits the bill. Search youtube and you will have a lot of stuff to watch.
Old stand up, even when I know the punch lines, I still laugh my ass off (I'm talking RIchard Pryor, Cosby, Woody Allen, etc).
