^^ I'd say try Dave Allen, but he's sort of an acquired taste.

Why is there a shortage of zeros?

Watched some old bits by Richard Pryor and George Carlin last night. Miss those old comics and Rodney D., Robin Williams. Youtube is a great place to pull up old comic routines.

I like to pull up the old Johnny Carson shows. We could use comics like that now, everybody is too serious all the time. Can you imagine Don Rickles letting loose today on some millennial? OMG...

Pay to see that! :laughing:

Carlin/Pryor were on JC on the same night... I watched that episode last night as well. Watch some of the Dean Martin roasts... those are hillarious. Then there is Foster Brooks, Jonathan Winters, Bob Newhart (one side telephone conversations... too funny, his timing was perfect).

^^ In that group of people, don't overlook Joey Bishop.

At every years end AMC runs a compilation of all those in the entertainment industry that has died that year. Seems that more and more of the good ones are going on. The real tragedy is that very few of the new so called talent are qualified to take their place.

Yet the viewers who are watching those new are thinking the same thing about the older movies.
To paraphrase Dickens;
Now is the best of times, it's the worst of times. It's the age of foolishness, it's the age of wisdom. It's the season of Light, it's the season of Darkness. n short, the present period, is so far like the past that some of its noisiest authorities insist on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

I loved Carlins take on people, their behavior and belief systems. If he were alive today, he might well be speechless.

I didn't get a clock. I stopped working, and they stopped paying me. I got a free lunch on my last day, and I left a few hours early.

I got hurt at work, returned to work, someone at work hurt me again, while at work. Never returned to work... yet

I'm sorry to hear that. Your signature text sounds depressing to me. I hope you are working something out to find enjoyment in today.
