And now I’m going to have Yakety Sax in my head all day...
That is contemporary Western Civilization.
And when the Morlocks come knocking (and, make no mistake, they are going to come), we're going to be totally unprepared.
“politically incorrect”: Anything that offends the Left.
True. But whenever I channel flipped and got his show, I did stay for the chase scene.
If by fluffer you mean gay. He was not. He asked at least two women to marry him. Guy was just English which can often be confused with shirt lifter.
My English friends were always bemused by America’s obsession with Benny Hill as they put it.
I’m not sure that he was gay.
Today’s standards LOL whining wimps living in a phony pretend world with zero ideas of reality while the sane go on living in reality.
Benny Hill if alive today would have endless material with all the liberal loony ideas they pimp.
He’s boring.
Monty Python was much better.
Both were great!
In the early ‘80s two distant teen-age cousins came over from Glasgow to visit. They were particularly keen to explore our cable TV and watch US detective shows. However, the first thing which came on was some Benny Hill rerun. I can still remember their simultaneous expressions of disgust: “AUGGH! BENNAH HILL!”.
The problem with comedy is that comedy exposes invariable truths to human existence. Comedy can’t be mean, either, just like impressionists have to like the people they do an impression of - Shane Gillis’ Trump impression is hilarious, while Alec Baldwin’s is passe’.
I love Benny Hill and am really sad that most British comedy before 2000 is now unknown because it’s censored. You couldn’t do the German episode of Fawlty Towers or the WWI gay pilot sketch (or pretty much anything) from Monty Python today. Let alone the Young Ones.
Benny Hill’s sexual orientation has been a subject of speculation. While some sources suggest he may have been perceived as gay or impotent, he stated on multiple occasions that he was not gay. Additionally, he never married and had no children, which led many to believe he was gay.
I occasionally still watch him on YouTube
Really!!?? I heard rumors upon rumors back in the day he was gay!! I rejected it for a long time. but then heard one that he finally came out and that’s what did it for me!
lol
They Said It Could Not Be Done
(A Poem by Benny Hill)
They said that it could not be done
He said “Just let me try.”
They said, “Other men have tried and failed,”
And he answered, “But not I.”
They said, “It is impossible,”
He said, “There is no such word.”
He closed his mind, he closed his heart
To everything he heard.
He said, “Within the heart of man, there is a tiny seed.
It grows until it blossoms, it’s called “The Will to Succeed.”
Its roots are strength, its stem is hope, its petals inspiration,
Its thorns protect its strong green leaves, with grim determination.
Its stamens are its skills which help to shape each plan,
For there’s nothing in the universe beyond the scope of man.
They thought that it could not be done
Some even said they knew it,
But he faced up to what could not be done
......And he couldn’t bloody do it!
Btt!!
Me and my dad, the late freeper BBPark, shared a lot of time watching those shows!!
Benny was too cheap to be gay.
A new tranny Benny Hill Show would be shown on PBS today.
