Okay: forget that last one.

I will make an alternative theory: 'K' sounds can be funny, but are often used to connote a strong presence: Kojak, Kolchak, Kowalski (Vanishing Point), etc separate from comedy.

'Z' sounds can make a word funny, perhaps because of the pleasing buzz of the tongue (and see- wasn't it fun to hear the word 'buzz' in your head just now):

Hans and Franz

Xylophone (even funnier because it doesn't have a 'Z' in it)

Zeppelin (used best in breast references)

Ditz

Fuzz

Fuzzy Wuzzy (vagina reference)

Spaz

Woozy

Gonzo (works for Muppets)

Zyklon B



Okay: forget that last one.


I am The Replacement Laslo.
