    I know people from Pgh who just don't think he's funny, but most do, as a lot of it is based on WPA life. And he also says a lot of things that many of us feel, and in a funny way.

      I also rarely laugh at Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller. Barely cracked a smile in "There's something about Mary". But I belly-laugh hysterically, to the point of crying, at Jim Carey in Liar-Liar, Bruce Almighty and "Me, Myself and Irene".
      I LOL at Stiller, "Meet the Fockers", "Heartbreak Kid".... Carey in Liar Liar.. yea that one is great too.

        The ones who find it funniest KNOW a "Pittsburgh dad".

        Those who dont know a Pittsburgh dad, can still laugh.

        People from Pittsburgh who can't understand why its funny ARE Pittsburgh dads.

        In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

          If not, I could see why but anyone from Pittsburgh or familiar with the area usually finds him hilarious.
          Close, originally about 50 miles away. I know another Stiller fan from central PA that didn't find him funny either. To each his own I guess.

          I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

            I’m not from Pittsburgh, only been there 3 times all for games . I still enjoy Pittsburgh Dads humor. But to each their own.

              I love the humor of the late, great Chris Farley. However, I've had many people tell me is disgusting.

              I also love the dry humor of Steve Wright, although many don't get it.
