More from The Awful Truth

If you want to know the key to our hearts here at Team Awful, make us laugh.

That's why we have such a soft spot (and are willing to overlook some less than Adonis physical features) for the funny guys. Turns out there's even a name for people like us: "chuckle f--kers."

Luckily, with a fresh crop of SNL talent coming into their own and Judd Apatow's hand-picked pals, there are more than enough funny fellas to go around.

But the ones who can make us laugh and get our hearts pounding?

Can Kristen Wiig Handle a Female Fight Club With These Bridesmaids?

It might be a huge honor, but it aslo sounds like being someone's maid of honor is a stressful, full-time job. And if you're Kristen Wiig, just reading the list of "duties" is enough to have you chugging wine straight from the bottle.

She isn't entirely on her own though. Bridesmaids is the latest laughfest from producer Judd Apatow, and while Wiig might have the top spot, she's getting plenty of help from the rest of the bridal entourage...And it seems like things are coming together nicely.

Knocked Up Spawns Paul Rudd-Leslie Mann Spinoff

Judd Apatow just can't keep the camera off his wife. Or off Paul Rudd.

Leslie Mann and Rudd are onboard to star as the same combative couple they played in Knocked Up in a spin-off film to be written and directed by Apatow, Universal Entertainment confirmed Thursday to E! News.

No word yet on whether Katherine Heigl, who played Mann's younger sister in the comedy's bromantic predecessor, and onscreen baby daddy Seth Rogen will reprise their roles, as well. (Remember, Heigl may have burned that bridge...)

After making his super-successful feature directorial debut with The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Apatow's name has been linked to every other comedy out there, but mainly as an executive producer. After Knocked Up and Funny People, the untitled Mann-Rudd project will be his fourth movie as a director.

The studio would like cameras to start rolling later this year with an eye on a June 1, 2012, release.
