red750 Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 The "bearded bloke", Foster Brooks, does a number of those "drunken" videos, where he is a dentist and a brain surgeon, among other professions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Foster Brooks was a brilliant comedian who specialised in playing drunks. I love his performances, that was the days when comedy skits were simple, funny - and of course, mostly politically incorrect. Compare that to todays young comedians who can't seem to utter 6 words without 4 of them being profanities - and their jibes are nasty, and borderline abusive. I don't find them funny. I'll watch Foster Brooks, Deano, Mel Brooks, the Two Ronnies, or Dave Allen, any day of the week. Those blokes never fail to produce a belly laugh, and in many cases, they bring tears of laughter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I introduced my kids to Dave Allen, Love Thy Neighbour, On the Buses and a whole lot more of YouTube.. They love them... I know we're (almost) all in the older age category, but most (not all) of the humour today is so unintelligent, it's hard to watch let alone laugh at.. However, there are still some gems, such as Would I Lie to You, and some of the comedians on quiz shows/satirical news shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 You can't go past the Goon Show for the comedic use of the English language. This form of comedy where two ideas are brought together to get a laugh is well exploited by Milton Jones, obviously and English comic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Aaah, the Goonshow. I don't think my millennial grandkis would get it because it requires careful listening, which they aren't ver good at. It also requires the ability to visualise quite impossible scenes. Goons are still great comedy, though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 One modern comedian I like is Al Murray. His profanity is prolific & he throws political correctness out the window, picks audience members to sometimes belittle & then praise, acts like a dill but is very intelligent and well versed in history. He does shows called the Pub Landlord & picks offbeat subjects and provides his own hilarious logic to what he asserts. He likes to rip in to Germans & the French. Here is one short clip. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 The French are more logical in many ways. Le Chat noir is the Black CAT but it's got the emphasis on cat not the colour. Pont Neuf is Bridge Nine. It's possible to think in several languages, depending on your level of fluency and recent usage. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One to fifteen has unique names, but sixteen to nineteen are "ten-seven", for example ("dix-sept"). Then absolutely fine 'til 69 (get your minds out of the gutter) "soixante-neuf", but from 70 and onwards there's no name for the tens, so "seventy" is "soixante-dix" (sixty-ten), "seventy three" is "soixante-trieze" (sixty-thirteen), and from 80 it gets even weirder... "eighty" is "quatre-vingt" (four twenties), and "ninety nine" is "quatre-vingt-dix-neuf" (four twenties ten nine)! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that true android robots are now being built - ones that don't need meaty humans inside to be able to dance or aim a gun. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 There was a recent post-apocalyptic movie that used some killer robot-dogs based on those Boston Dynamics robots. They were truly freaky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
