Classic Comedy

Yeah, Hale and Hardee were okay...

But I myself always preferred the deadpan, one-liner comedy of Jack Bunny, especially with his mouse butler, Roquefort.

"Why don't you go out with that girl you went out with on your LAST day off?"

"Boss, that girl got married and had two kids since then!"

........ Well!

Ooh, what about the word games like Abbot and Costello used to do? Like "Who's On First?"

Hey, I wasn't putting down the master of the
understated one-liner! But I'm letting the
readers know about what Furadio's programs
are like, and I don't think Jack was on that
network. (I could be wrong.)

But hey, I got a "Yeah, they were okay" out
of Gabriel, so I must be doing better!

(Oh, and Hale and Hardee are still on the
air!)

"A buck an ear."

At <a href=http://www.comedysportz.com/>Comedy Sportz</a> that would be considered a "groaner foul".

the list of cities where the sport was being
played... and Furriston isn't on it. ^_^

Hale and Hardee usually get into convoluted
wordplay of similar calibre, but such exchanges
usually mutate into a story of the classic
radio variety. Such as: Hardee waiting at
the mike for Hale to show up... ("Hi folks,
I'm Thomas Hardee... dunno where my heavy-
hoved hombre is, though...") Hale arrives
onstage, out of breath... Hardee suggests
that Hale is out shape, Hale disputes the
suggestion, they go on for a good long while
at the mike, tossing out such groaners as
Hardee once having been poster child for the
Year of the Leap Frog and Hale saying that
only someone as green as Hardee would buy
that, besides he's not ready to kick off yet,
and Hardee saying he thought that if anyone
should be an expert at kicking, it'd be Hale-
which gradually evolves into the story for
the episode, with Hale deciding to try a few
things to give him some more exercise, and in
the process they run into the show's colorful
co-stars; Mayor Porkbarrel, who begins every
conversation with "Mah friends, if ah am
re-elected, Ah promise to..." [insert insane
campaign promise here], fussy Ms. Henderson
"Whatever could you be up to now, you
exasperating equinus?" and the eternally
inebriated Philo T. Wetwhistle " ...*hic* "
(Interspersed in the show, one commercial for
TCB soft drinks.) The show ends with Hale
letting Hardee know he's found an activity
he likes: bowling. Hardee askes why he likes
it, Hale replies "Because this donkey gets to
tail the pin, that's why!" Theme and credits
follow.

They remind me of the Marx Brothers! I love the Marx Brothers!

Chico: I don't know if I wanna play football.

Groucho: Well, think about it for a bit. I'll let you sleep on it.

Chico: I don't think I can sleep on a football.

Honestly, I'm more fond to the 3 Stooges comedy (with the original trioe: Moe, Larry, and Curly):

"Oh, a wiseguy, huh? *BONK!*"

"Nyah!!! *SLAP!*

"Ya knucklehead!"

"WHOPWHOPWHOPWHOPWHOPWHOP!!! Nyuk nyuk nyuk!"

Old school comedy's still kewl

Even when it was from a time, as that wise man (or wiseguy) Al Bundy once said, "When the word 'gay' once meant 'happy'..."

*leaves, doing the Curly Shuffle*

I think Hale and Hardee had roles in that big three-and-a-half-hour extravaganza of a movie "It's A Really Truly Crazy World Out There" along with Jack Bunny, Roquefort and several other old-style furry comedians. I forget what Hale and Hardee played, but they did have a joke along the lines of "Did you see that? That car just leapfrogged that old truck! Er... no offense."

Oh yeah, and Yapdog had a role in it too, although he was onscreen for a total of fifteen seconds. Hey, in a big comedy like that, some scenes are going to suffer.

Strange as it may seem, I witnessed something along the lines of "Who's On First" out in China between a manager of ours and our Chinese interpreter, after landing in a fairly rural area in a fifty-seat turboprop. It went something like:

Manager: Who is going to take the luggage off the plane?

Interpreter: Yes.

Manager: What do you mean? Do we have to take the luggage off the plane ourselves?

Interpreter: I don't think that's necessary.

Manager: But, our luggage is on the plane and it's getting ready to take off.

Interpreter: Hu will take the luggage off the plane.

Manager: Well, I guess we do!

Interpreter: I don't think that's necessary.

Manager: Who will take our luggage off the plane?

Interpreter: Yes.

This went on for a ridiculously long time, while the rest of us made Abbott and Costello jokes. The baggage handler of course was a fellow named Mr Hu.

Yes, you're right! And that bugged me; he
was just on camera for a moment and then he
was gone! He deserved *much* more than a
cameo, doggone it!!

If you've ever seen any of the better roles
Yapdog has played, you'll know that puns are
always intentional.
