If you've landed here in search of a sweet sonnet or other classically romantic line to share with a loved one this Valentine's Day, you might not have come to the right place. But if jokes about the notoriously divisive holiday by some of our favorite comedians is what you're looking for, then we've got you covered.

Check out what...comedians have said in their acts about the day where every person -- not just those in relationships -- has the chance to be emotionally disappointed. If there's one thing about Valentine's Day that...comics can agree on, it's that there's always room to take it less seriously.


• Valentine's Day: the holiday that reminds you that if you don't have a special someone, you're alone." (Lewis Black)

• "Oh here's an idea: let's make pictures of our internal organs and give them to other people we love on Valentine's Day. That's not weird at all." (Jimmy Fallon-as Robert Pattinson)

• "February is a month of months, and there is one special day: Valentine's Day on the 14th. I know it's still a ways off, but I just can't wait. Janice, if you're watching, will you make me the happiest man in the world and get out of my apartment?" (Ed Helms)

• "It goes Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day. Is that fair to anyone who's alone? These are all days you gotta be with someone. And if you didn't get around to killing yourself at Christmas or New Year's, boom! There's Valentine's Day. I think there should be one more after Valentine's Day just called, 'Who could love you?'" (Laura Kightlinger)

• "I have a dream, and a plan, to combine the commercial possibilities of Valentine's Day with the substance and meaning of black history month. I call it: Blackentine's Day" (Mo Rocca)

• "The jewelry stores say, 'Tell your wife you love her with a diamond,' while wives tell you they love you with, 'Ok, but just because it's Valentine's Day.'" (George Lopez)

Valentine's Day money-saving tips:
--Break up on February 13th, get back together on the 15th.

--In place of bubble bath, use lavender-scented dish-washing liquid.

--Forget rose petals. Sprinkle the bed with sliced beets!

(David Letterman)

• "I love Valentine's Day. When you're a kid everyone gets a Valentine. It's like 'TO TIM, NICE PANTS, LOVE SCOTT'. It's Valentines galore!" (Mike Birbiglia)

• "Today is Valentine's Day. Or, as men like to call it, Extortion day." (Jay Leno)

• "Today, folks, should be all about love. Unless you're old." (Stephen Colbert)
