Monty Python and the Holy Grail....one of the funniest movies ever!

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. I empty my nostrils in your general direction!

I love them all, but no one could tell a story like Myron Cohen.

Myron Cohen story.....An elderly man who lives in a retirement village is talking to an elderly women. He says to her "We are both alone and we both have our own apartments. Why don't we move in together. That way we would still both get our social security, but we would only have to pay one rent."
She says "Before I decide, I have to ask you....how's by you your sex life"
He says "Infrequent"
She thinks for a moment and then says "Is that one word or two"

I forgot one of my early favorites, and one of the pioneers of today's comedy: The Great ERNIE KOVACS

Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Robin Williams, Bill Hicks, Eddie Murphy, just to name a few.

Boy are you right!
He is so quick that by the time you "get" one thing he said, he is on the fifth joke. He is amazing!

Someone interviewed him, together with Johnathan Winters. The interviewer just threw out a word and the two of them ad-libbed for several minutes.
Unbelievable and hysterical. (Had to change my underwear LOL).

Bill Maher, Rodney Dangerfield and the KING himself: Groucho Marx

Bob Hope

Red Skelton was the master of comedy. He was so versatile. He could do pantomime better then anyone. His show made me laugh for a solid hour.

Robin Williams is a close second with Mork and Mindy when he had to register as an alien. And his HBO routine about golf which can't be posted as the language is a little rank is a classic.

And who could forget Laugh In.

I don't think any comedian has made me laugh harder than Richard Pryor.

Check out Robin Williams' YouTube on golf. It had a lot of very foul language in it, so I am not posting it via a link bt it should be very easy to find. Hilarious.

Looks like he is playing in the Orlando area in January 2013.

I think Chris Rock is hilarious although his routines are R rated.

Lethal Weapon 4 with his routines with Joe Pesce.

No one could make me laugh harder than the late Sam Kinneson, though he was very rough around the edges. Of the current comics the choice is black and white! Lewis Black and Ron White.
