Perhaps the folks in the thread will excuse me if I mention that I have never found Brooks funny. "I do bad taste", yes. "With intelligence", no.

Woody Allen is much worse than Brooks though. I would describe Allen as "petulant and parochial".

You must be a barrel of laughs!

I was wondering if I was the only person who didn't care for Brooks. I guess I did find some of his stuff funny, "Get Smart", Airplane and "Young Frankenstein" were all pretty good although some of his others were stinkers.

I have heard him make comments which put him in the typical leftist Hollywood camp. Also noticed he makes little snide comments about Ronald Reagan or Anita Bryant which are not even intended to be funny, just smears.

Nothing personal but I believe your comment tells more of you than it does of Mr. Brooks.
