Maybe I am getting old but most of the material being presented by the entertainment world as comedy today just is not that funny. There seems to be a huge void of really well written funny material out there. Lucky for us there are many comedy classics saved on film that still make me laugh out loud.
Here are a few.
The Two Ronnies

These are just of few of the greats of the past. It is worth your time to go explore and find some of your favorites from the past.

Not five minutes ago, my co-worker stopped by the ref. desk and asked if I'd be interested in doing a Bob and Ray skit with him for next year's staff talent show. I told him I'd think about it, went back to goofing off on the Internet between questions, and what do I see but you posting about (among other greats) but Bob and Ray.
How serendipitous!
When I was up in Vermont a few weeks back I amused myself by watching Hope and Crosby in Roade to Singapore and Road to Morocco. Corny but faboo.
Corn is still the best, as they used to say on Hee Haw Here's the KORN news from Cornfield County. And my Sirius radio is alway on Radio Classics, the radio shows from the 30's -50's. Good stuff stands the test of time.
