Posting this so other candidates can hear how they sound, compared with Donald Trump. All the other candidates speak a sentence, wait for fifteen seconds of applause. They they speak another sentence. Wait for fifteen seconds of applause. Etc. It's excruciating to listen to.

One of my favorites of their sketch comedy. Especially the interviewer finally blowing his cork.

I work with a guy who is a little like this. He explains things in tremendous detail, even when people are desperately trying to tell him that they completely understand his point. He keeps going. Trying to explain it. Just being clear. And thorough. So that they can understand his point.

Was one of my favorite radio shows as a kid - loved the famous closing line: “Write if you get work, meanwhile, hang by your thumbs”.

In those days everyone was a slow talker - people who talked fast were ‘odd’ and mostly incomprehensible.

While stationed in Germany. Brought back memories of a must listen, too good to miss Bob And Ray offerings, via AFRS during the early 50’s . Remember first hearing that skit.

The first time I heard this, I was literally on the floor laughing - still funny stuff...and without cursing and racist comments.

Bob Elliott was the father of Chris Elliott, another comedian although HIGHLY overrated and quite boring.

When my brother and I were young, my parents had something like 5 volumes of cassette tapes of Bob and Ray shows that we would listen to in the car on long drives. There are so many little things from those shows that carried over for us in casual family conversation. I can’t even start to list them. Very funny.

Bob and Ray use a comedy style that is popular in the UK - Pushing “dull” to the point it becomes hilarious. Your mind almost finishes the joke before they get there but you still hang on just to see how the comedians get there.

The Pythons did this as did so many other British comedians. Few, in the US, did it as well as B&R tho. Masterful comedians!!!
