Actor Bill Murray was stopped by police in Stockholm when they found him cruising down the road in a golf cart, Swedish police said yesterday.
Police officers spotted the 56-year-old actor-comedian early Sunday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled of alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective Inspector Christer Holmlund.

I know DUI is no laughing matter, but in a golf cart? That might explain why Caddy Shack was so funny.

i know a guy that used to have major drinking problems. we he would golf he'd always be drunk and one time he got busted for DUI on a golf cart after he drove it into a lake on the course hahaha. thankfully he's got the drinking under control now though.

Here is my encounter with Bill Murray in Denver:

Me: Enters elevator
Me: Notices Bill Murray beside me in elevator
Me: Hey, you're Bill Murray
Bill Murray: Yep
Me: Cool
Bill Murray: Yep

I have an encounter as well.

The family wanted to go deep sea fishing one winter of the coast of Charleston SC. Couldn't find a boat that would go out. One guy said he could take us out on a boat if the owner said it was okay. He called him up and the owner said it would be fine.

The owner... Bill Murray.

So apparently instead of hoppping a fast train to Tibet to be a Looper, a jock , pro, caddy for the Dalail Lama himself. Very impressive the Lama, gold chains flowing robes, bald, Striking the Lama is. He decided to get on a cart in Stockholm and look for Ty's pool or pond. Whatever, as long as it wet. Maybe he was also smoking some of the grass he was growing that was part Kentucky Blue Grass part sesamia and you could play 36 holes on it in the morning and then get stoned to the bejeezers with it at nite.
Now he can get out of jail and you can hear the CBS announcers "here he is, Cinderella story, former convict/grounds keeper now about to become the Master's champion. He's about 190 yds from the green, looks like he's got about a nine iron. Oh he got all of that one, he got all of that............IT'S in the hole, its in the hole. What a miraculous shot." So he's got THAT going for him, which is nice

Bill Murray had so many good movies--What About Bob? (filmed at Smith Mountain Lake), Ground Hog Day, Stripes (for the hags). But at least he wasn't riding a John Deer lawn mower.

Too bad he's reduced himself to doing "dark" comedies. You know, the comedies that aren't remotely funny.

Just because you don't get it doesn't mean it's not funny.

[LUconn]

and in chimes a comedy snob who assumes if I don't think it's funny, I must not "get it". I understand why things in these movies are supposed to be funny. They just aren't.

[RagingTireFire]

They just aren't.

Because?

[Purple Haize]

So it looks like we are having a fight shape up between the following crowds:

Lost in Translation
The Life Aquatic
Rushmore
Broken Flowers

VS

Stripes
Meatballs
Caddyshack
What about Bob

[LUconn]

They just aren't.

Because?

sounds like a dissertation worthy question.

[El Scorcho]

I'm in both camps. Figure that out.

[RagingTireFire]

Indeed. If something "is intended to be funny", then by definition, there is at least one person that found the thing funny in the first place. If someone else does not find it funny, then that person can be reasonably said to "not get it". That's not an insult, just a statement of fact.
Is what constitutes "funny" determined by the originator of the joke or the recipient? Can comedy be defined by mass appeal? The fact is that what constitutes "funny" is much like what constitutes "beautiful" or "delicious". So, just because you (you, me, anyone) say something isn't funny doesn't mean that it's so.
