If Leo had half the talent of Benny when it came to songwriting...

I mostly watched it for the babes in garter belts and stockings.

The physical comedy was great, as was the skit comedy. His singing was another matter entirely! :)

My dad and I would watch it and my mom would get up and leave the room. She just didn't see any humor in Benny Hill.

I think Benny was responsible for introducing many a 12 year old to lingerie.

My wife can't stand him. Then again, she doesn't know why I watch the 3 Stooges either.

I can't think when England produced a greater genius than Benny Hill. Maybe Shakespeare?

He chose "Benny" as his stage name because of his appreciation for Jack Benny.

We've had boring threads about Dixie Chicks and Madonna for the past three days. Now we have something that is relevant, Benny Hill.

The Stooges is a man thing. I have only meet woman who "tolerate" the Stooges.
My mom had a great sense of humor, it was just she saw nothing funny about slapping the old guy on the head, chasing women around in fast motion, etc...

I have to confess to not understanding 40% of what he says. But the other 60% makes up for it.

Women tend to have a flawed sense of humor.

My idea of television heaven would be Red Skelton, The Three Stooges, Lucille Ball, Bud Abbott & Lou Costello, and Benny Hill. Wow, he was a really funny man! ( I forgot to mention George Gobel)
