Top 5 punny titles

List by Annie

"The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes."
- William Davis

Sometimes you just have to laugh. Authors – and editors – obviously love playing with words, and this selection of titles proves it.

Honourable mention:

    Papakura Library guest post: Top 5 British films to make you laugh out loud

    List by Emily

    "Humor is merely tragedy standing on its head with its pants torn."
    - Irvin S. Cobb

    I love films and watch a wide variety of genres, including comedy, romance, thriller, action, drama, indie, musical, documentary, fantasy, the occasional sci-fi and once or twice a horror.

    When it comes to comedic movies, again I watch a variety, but I find one type of comedy to be a step above others more often than not.

    The films that consistently tickle my funny bone are British comedies, which have a rather different style of humour to their often brash American counterparts – more subtle, dry and eccentric.

    The following are five British films that I, and those watching them with me, thoroughly enjoyed and got a laugh (or two or twenty!) out of.

    Top 5 dvds featuring weddings

    List by Tosca

    "Wedlock or deadlock? That is the question!"
    - Author unknown

    I'm a commitment-phobe. If I even hear the word marriage I feel ill. And yet, for some reason, I was still surprised to realise that my top 5 list of wedding movies are all comedies. Some of them quite terrible ones, when you think about it. I mean, what's really so funny about a social misfit who constantly spends her lunchtimes dressing up in wedding dresses for an imaginary wedding? (Muriel's wedding). Eek! Love 'em or hate 'em here's my list.
