I also love old Three Stooges bits (the split finger poke in the eyes is alway funny, always), the Smothers Brothers have had me in tears, old Bill Cosby, and, of course, as lynn says, Road Runner rules.middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14810341455860537174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11240270.post-1144085480771496522006-04-03T10:31:00.000-07:002006-04-03T10:31:00.000-07:00"Get's kinda hot in these Rhinos!"

I think fondly of (the old) Woody Allen, I mean "Annie Hall."<BR/><BR/>How about Jeff Goldblum saying, "I forgot my mantra"? Or Woody saying <BR/>"I'll have some sprouts and a plate of mashed yeast." Or Woody again, "Did you hear him? He said 'Jew eat? Jew eat?' I told you he was anti-semitic."<BR/><BR/>Or basically Joan Cusak in anything. My favorite is from "Working Girl" (yes, with Melanie Griffith)<BR/>"I can dance around in my bra and sing, but it doesn't make me Madonna." (pause) "And it nevah will."<BR/><BR/>Yes, it's all about timing.Dr. Writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780082464342367471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11240270.post-1144082262431723892006-04-03T09:37:00.000-07:002006-04-03T09:37:00.000-07:00Not a movie, but Johnny Carson's mind racing after...Not a movie, but Johnny Carson's mind racing after Ed Ames' tomahawk throw: wooden cowboy cutout (wouldn't see that today!) gets hit in groin; tomahawk's position makes cowboy appear erect; Ames starts to retrieve tomahawk and put an end to the embarassment; Johnny forcefully restraining Ames, knowing Ames was about to pull on the tomahawk's (cowboy's) shaft; Ames nearly falls to the floor when he realizes this. All while the audience howls; no words spoken; Johnny thinking of a punchline, topical for the day, that will pass the censors: "I din't know you were Jewish!"<BR/>(Carol Burnett - "Comedy is tragedy plus time."oldbruinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302855583516541513noreply@blogger.com
