It’s finally Friday!
After a week of work there’s only a few hours between you and a weekend filled with you-time. So to help you get through those last hours that seem to stretch on forever, why not indulge in some pre-weekend humour. Compiled here are some of the funniest, most clever one-liners from some of the greatest comedians who ever stood in front of an audience. There’s comedy legends like George Carlin, Bob Newhart and, of course, the king of the punchline, Rodney Dangerfield. You may even find someone you’ve never heard of before. So read on and try not to bust a gut!
