"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Why can't comedians be funny today the way the old time comedians like Alan King were? They made every day events funny. Comedians today think they need to preach about social justice while using every swear word in the book. [/curmudgeon]
I've been watching old Tim Conway and Carol Burnett scenes on youtube. Also the ones with Harvey Korman. I should say re-watching because I remember watching most of them (before we had colour TV). It was a golden era. Carol Burnett Show was Sunday night here, highlight of the week.
