Rocky & Bullwinkle were great. There were some really BITING stabs at politics that the kids didn't get but the parents did.

Like the Kirwood Derby?

I'd have to agree, a lot of comedy has gone downhill in the last few years. Forget "The Five Words You Can't Say On TV." Give me "Who's on First?" anytime! XD I have a DVD with that, and it always makes me laugh. "So, who's on first?" "Exactly." "Exactly's on first?" "No, Who is on first!" "What're...

As Limbaugh once stated about political humor: "For something to be funny, there has to be a grain of truth to it." This is something the Air ameriKa crowd hasn't figured out yet. And, FWIW, Most talking heads are a$$holes. Which is why Air ameriKa is on terminal life support and circling the drain...

I'll argue the fact, though I don't watch Stewart much. As Limbaugh once stated about political humor: "For something to be funny, there has to be a grain of truth to it."

And Stewart nails EVERYBODY.

[quote="Sharuuk"] "Cosby could swear, on rare occasions. But he made it funny, not just for shock. Like when he was describing cocaine, he said a guy told him "it intensified his personality."

About 1958, MAD magazine did "What It Was, Was Football", drawn by George Woodbridge. It was Andy Griffith's complete routine, with a caricature of him "narrating" the story. I remember the Vaughn Meader bit, too. I still remember Castro saying "I'll have a chicken sandwhich, with a live chicken!" ...

And don't forget the guys dressed as convicts. :lol: Especially the convict that come over to the two men, he took out a quarter and they commenced to 'odd-man'....right thar! :lol: Gardner, Griffith and some others were true Americana....this is what real wholesome FUNNY comedy was about. I miss i...

I haven't heard the Andy Griffith album, but on the "Dr Demento" show they played his "hillbilly sees football for the first time" sketch. I just about peed in my pants I was laughing so hard. Yes, that's the first cut on the 'Just For Laughs' album and it's actually titled "What it was, was footba...

If you like Brother dave, you'll just love Jerry Clower. Another great southern comedian. :D I absolutely loved Brother Dave. When I was 4-5, I had listened to 'Rejoice Dear Hearts' so many times, I could repeat the entire album word for word....including the skips of the tonearm. :-? Yeah....Jerry...

I used to watch him on "The Nashville Network" (now called "Spike TV") and he was a hoot and a half.

Too bad he died a few years ago.

Err...I don't get it. Who is Dave Gardner? 'Brother' Dave Gardner was a 1950's early 1960's era stand up comic from Georgia. Had several comedy albums and could keep you in stitches with his skits and stories and never utter a word of profanity. He used the name "Brother Dave" because his delivery ...

Err...I don't get it.

Who is Dave Gardner?

Squeaky Bunny wrote:YupYup. Almost as bad as going to a post election trauma therapy session.

Worse.

No 13 year old boys with dirty minds there.

Just try going into a chat room sometime.

ANY chat room.

Yeah, poor thing. All alone. maybe she can look online for love. :o Trust me, she does NOT want to do that! (I tried it, and ended up with a MALE wanting to come up here and...) :o (I told him I'm totally straight and would most likely kick the total crap out of him. He kept trying to pass himself ...

Ok, who ordered the 30-foot tall marshmallow man?

Can I make a little suggestion as to Hortense?

How about adding another reptile to the cast?

Maybe a dragon?
(Not a bloody huge one, a medium size, like 6-7 feet tall one.)

What if the Ghostly Trio is there?

They drove off even the Ghostbusters!

"Who're you gonna call? Someone else!"

(I love those movies)
