Old Time Comedians

Stan and Ollie,Ollie past away about a year after this picture was taken.

The boys take a bottle of Stan's wife's liquor to a speak-easy, unaware that she's filled it with tea. Now they believe they are wasted. His wife follows them unnoticed.

Harold Lloyd. (Quite an athlete):

All that with some missing fingers and a thumb on his right hand.
That being said, Mack Sennett sure had some great talent
with him at Keystone Studios beyond just the custard fights.

The world's greatest juggler too.

Id give an honorable mention to the Ritz Brothers but-they were a cheap imitation of either the Three Stooges or the Marx Brothers-I forget which?

Buster Keaton was the closets comedian to being a God-as far as I'm concerned:

The above images were NOT staged either-his reaction was also the real deal.

Marty Feldman & Spike Milligan

I dont think We will see the likes of those Comedians again. again.

 

[BC38]

A later era, but just as good IMO...
Red Skelton & Carol Burnette.....

"Who's on first?"

Ed Sullivan used to have a guy on his show many times and I cannot remember his name. His act was to put two chairs about four feet apart and jump from one to another after drinking a glass of champagne. The more drinks he had the funnier the skit was.

I've always loved the Marx Brothers, Harold Lloyd, and Buster Keaton.

I had never really seen anything by W.C. Fields until recently. Wow! He was talented!

Now, whenever I need a good laugh, I play a clip from one of his movies. It doesn't matter which, they are all hilarious!

What was neat about that era of comedians is they were hilarious without being profane or vulgar.......something hardly seen today outside of Jeff Foxworthy and the Blue Collar Comedy tour guys.

for pre-tv old radio shows. both jack benny n fred allen are tops.
you can find these shows online.

I could watch Jack Benny all day long. If you've seen a lot of Johnny Carson you can see a lot of Benny's influence.

Here's one of Jack Benny's best with Mel Blanc.

Not so much "old time", but so many of the skits performed by Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman and Tim Conway would make me laugh so hard that tears would roll down my cheeks. There may have even been a few occasions where a tear or two rolled down my leg!

I can remember watching my Dad laugh at Charlie Callas until he couldn't catch his breath .

And of course, there is the wabbit.
