I think the best romantic comedies are hard funny - no soft jokes, but ones that make you, like, guffaw. I also think that they have to make you feel good, ideally, and make you feel warm inside at the end.

English Director

Jane Lynch

I think the only way we can really get you to laugh hard is if we take it to a deep psychological place. It has to resonate with you on a really deep level in order for you to really do that good guffaw.

American Actress

Alexander Armstrong

I've come to love 'This Country' on BBC Three. It takes a while to get into the swing of it because the humour is very subtle, but it's very beautifully done and there are quite a few guffaws to be had.

English Actor

Bea Arthur

In sitcoms, the women are so beautiful, understanding and well-bred. They have humor, but sort of display it with a twinkle of the eye and not a guffaw. But there's no juice in that for me.

Russell Baker

Situation comedy on television has thrived for years on 'canned' laughter, grafted by gaglines by technicians using records of guffawing audiences that have been dead for years.

American Journalist

Michael Winter

The greatness of being an artist is the kind of ridiculous guffaw you can have at one's own misery. 'That was miserable! Now how can I write about it?

Canadian Writer

Grace Potter

I was like a closet makeup fiend as a little girl because I knew that I would be guffawed at in school if I wore too much makeup.

American Musician

George Takei

People want to start their day off with a smile or, better yet, a guffaw.

American Actor

Use 'guffaw' in casual settings; it's too informal for serious or professional contexts.

Informal Use

'Guffaw' suggests a stronger reaction than a simple laugh, indicating something very funny.

Strong Amusement

A guffaw is loud and noticeable, more than a giggle or a chuckle.

Audible Volume

When you 'guffaw', you react expressively; the body might shake or rock.

Expressive Reaction

Guffawing shows a lack of restraint, it's louder and more uninhibited than polite laughter.

Unrestrained Sound

In some cultures, a loud guffaw may be considered impolite or inappropriate.
