One from out of the left field bullpen . . . with Jim and Marian Jordan bringing their

So I assume you never saw The Jerk @Wingnut ?

Aside from his politics, he was a pretty funny guy.

It's just a matter of who we think are funny.

Well that depends on what kind of mood you are in, lol.

Truthfully, if I'm really tired, mindless comedy satisfies my need. If I'm on point...give me some good subtle stuff.

Who do you consider funny? We may not disagree given my mood at the time.

Red Skelton, movies or TV, I always thought it was great when he would break up before he got the punchline out. We got to see him in concert and at his shop in Orange, Ca.

@GtHawk

The Red Skelton Show (old-time radio)

Examples don't seem to exist, but it was said that when Red Skelton was on radio tickets were heavily
coveted not so much for the broadcast show but for the after-show he put on---he was so wired up
from doing the show he had to blow off steam and those who got to see it said it was the funniest
thing in radio that nobody got to hear on the air.

Thanks, I used to have a link to lot's of old radio shows. I guess I'm odd, I much prefer the old comedians and movies over the vast majority of what passes for comedy today. :beer:

Generally, so do I.

That's one reason I built a collection of over 15,000 old-time radio shows and counting.

Both good, if you liked Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit did you ever catch him in Hooper or the schlock City Heat with Clint Eastwood, wait it's supposed to be greatest comedies........sorry.

You are right. a  reynolds movie will never rate high on a list of great comedy movies.  Not even Cannonball run.

Deliverance...maybe.

Best comedy ever, was probably the discussion when Ned Beatty fired his agent.

Reynolds wasn't the funny part of Smokey and the Bandit though. :)

I always thought Gleason was underrated, in his scope and range as a comedian.
