Comedy Thursday #495.

[RICHARD]

I was saddened to hear about Phyllis Diller's death.

I thought maybe a comedy Thursday would be a lot of fun.

Oh my, I remember Redd Foxx and hus blue albums, Richard Pryor and George Carlin.

Where have all the really funny comics gone?

[happylabs]

Yes, and Rodney Dangerfield too.

I have my own no respect line. I'm tired of my car insulting me everytime I drive it. When I turn the key it flashes "air bag". I don't appreciate my car calling me an air bag!

How about we have some "fizzies" and some Pop Rocks.

How about Bob Hope and Jack Benny when they got together? And of course George Burns and Gracie Allen. Classics indeed - and the jokes were actually clean!

Anyone for champagne with a strawberry to toast the good old days?

I have seen some modern comics that were good, but I don;t remember their names.

I liked the one woman, years ago, who did a stand-up routine that included something like, "As you can tell, I'm not one of those girly girls. My friend asked me why I don't wear make-up, so I asked how long it took her to get that done each morning. When she said it took her 45 minutes, I said, "See, that's why I don't do it! I need that time to clean my gun!"

Modern day??? - Jeff Dunham the ventriloquist and his trunk full of dummies. Very off-color but absolutely hilarious.

[Pinot's Mom]

Jeff Dunham is a current favorite, however, my all time favorite comedy routine belongs to Bill Cosby. Does anyone remember a 60's album (yes, I said album) called "To Russell My Brother With Whom I Slept"? CLASSIC!! Oh, and Tom Lehrer - no one does it like Tom Lehrer - 'Doing the Vatican Rag'...hysterical.
