I read in the news the other day that Krispy Kreme is now coming out with a new drinkable version of their doughnut. I can assume this is great news for fat people that are too lazy to chew.

"Yeah I'd like to have a doughnut but I don't actually wanna disengage my temporal mandibular joint. Maybe you can just power-inject into me with a fu**in river reed ok? [folding out his lower lip]...Here, put in right in there."

-Dennis Miller (All In, Las Vegas, NV, 2006)

I'm not sure why this is humorous to me, cuz I've gained a tad myself in the last couple months. If anyone objects to this, I don't mind deleting it. The purpose is to have fun.

Then there was Ernie Kovacs, who was notorious for out-there comedy with a twist.

Yes, Dick7, I remember Uncle Miltie and his famous "takes."

I've always been a big Rodney Dangerfield fan. Saw him live twice here in Toronto. Always good for a laugh.

IMHO another great one not mentioned and no longer with us is John Pinette. Usually self deprecating and always funny. Did he swear in his monologues? I say "nay, nay".
(quoting JP there).

Hear him on the radio in the car. We have an AM comedy station in the area & that's pretty much all they ever program. If anyone wants to try it-

I might start another thread on magicians. I doubt that would be as popular as this thread though. But out of curiosity, anyone ever heard of David Blain? I'm sure a lot of you. especially Americans, have heard of David Copperfield? He's the richest magician in history, so I've read.

I can't remember all the comedians I have listened to over the years. I was a big fan of Bill Cosby, but his past has caught up with. I am a big fan of Robin Williams, unfortunately he was pretty vulgar at time. Of course the list goes on with Abbot and Costello, Buster Keaton, etc. I still watch the old re-runs of Hee Haw (funny and corny).

have you ever seen the black and white show "Mr. Ed", the talking horse?

Sure. And My Mother The Car; Green Acres; Petticoat Junction; The Munsters; The Addams Family; The Beverly Hillbillies.

I loved Green Acres. Poor Oliver - city slicker trying to live a peaceful life in the country but surrounded by country bumpkins!

The Munsters;

that makes me think of Roy Munson from the movie Kingpin.

I loved Green Acres. Poor Oliver - city slicker

that reminds me of the movie City Slickers. I thought both of those were excellent. Billy Crystal's humor is family friendly.

 

[scott-atkinson]

Loved Dave Allen, and for Political Satire loved Ben Elton..

Also loved the Comedy Shows on Television, Not the Nine Oclock News was a favourite, along with the Two Ronnies, their 'Four Candles' sketch is a classic..

I wish I had any inkling at all about what you guys are talking about. I know jack about UK comedians or even the scene.

Is anybody old enough here beside me to remember the movie called"Macabre". It was suppose to be so scary that they gave you a life insurance policy when you bought your ticket. I know this is not humor but the reason I mention it, is my cousin and I almost got thrown out of the movie theater because we were laughing so much.

oh my, i don't know if I can believe THAT! SO scary? I would assume that would also apply to The Exorcist here in the USA. I read that in the 70s when that damn thing came out, people started walking out of the theatre cuz they were too scared and couldn't keep on watching.

I saw Exorcist but can't remember my reaction or much about the movie

there were many sequels and they were all terrible, like most sequels are. Reagan is all grown up now and she' totally unrecognizable in real life as Linda Blair.
