John Hughes and Judd Apatow are the funniest movie makers of the last two generations, and both inspirations to me as a humor writer. Please vote for your favorite below, and I'll write a more in-depth article about that person, their work, and their style of comedy. Thank you!
 John Hughes Movies: National Lampoon’s Vacation, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Some Kind of Wonderful, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Uncle Buck, Home Alone Born 1950 in Lansing, Michigan, Died August 6, 2009 (age 59) in Manhattan, New York Quote: "I always preferred to hang out with the outcasts, 'cause they were cooler; they had better taste in music, for one thing, I guess because they had more time to develop one with the lack of social interaction they had!" |  Judd Apatow Movies: Cable Guy, Anchorman, 40-Year Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, SuperBad, Step Brothers, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Pineapple Express, Get Him to the Greek Born 1967 in Syosset, New York Quote: "I think that everything I do tends to root for the underdog. I always felt as a kid that I was under appreciated, invisible or weird, but I've always secretly thought people would one day appreciate what is different about me. I'm always putting that message out there. Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day." |
