ahousesizedSo we looked over Mike’s list of favorite comedies and noticed a pattern that led us to a few conclusions. He enjoys the works of Harold Ramis, John Landis, Mel Brooks and the Farrelly brothers, thinks Gene Wilder, Chevy Chase and Bill Murray are funny……..and prefers his humor pre-1997 (we at ScoreBoard tend to agree).
