That may very well be. Speaking of disagreeable, where the hell has Jeeves been?
Never even heard of him until I joined the Navy and they played his shows on ship through AFTV. I loved his humor though it was hard to understand him sometimes with his heavy accent, and the occasional use of British only words and phrases I didn't always understand. But then there was the universal language "scantly clad Babes" which he always had on his show, and when you were out at sea for a several months his show was often better than a letter from home.
Benny Hill: better than a USO show. LOL
Typing up a lot of disagreeable replies...then restraining myself and not actually posting them.
Like Bob Dole, I have grown. ;)
I'll probably get these Benny Hill DVD's, after I finish watching "Angel", "Battlestar Galactica", and "Into the West". Yes, I'm way behind...
Yackety Sax!
The growing crowd of people chasing Benny to that tune never fails to bring a smile to my face. Then again, Hill's Angels were darn good at that too... ;-)
LOL. You are the picture of Maturity......no, wait, this IS a Benny Hill thread, nevermind.
My 10 year old daughter LOVES Benny Hill reruns. Most are edited to be family safe, or the joke is too far over their head to 'get'. She thinks he's funny with his puns and walks around saying one about a birdy pooping on his head.
Carson almost out-deadpanned Jack Webb.
How could you not like a film with Burl Ives and Roy Clark?
I've never seen a completely family safe version of Benny Hill. LOL
I'm surprised they don't run old Johnny Carson reruns on one of the multitude of stations out there now.
Neither have I. Nor would I ever want to.
That's kinda the point of watching. ;o)
I have no idea what PAL and NTSC are, but I assume it's the size of the picture.
I really must object...the Stooges is not just a man thing..I have loved the Three Stooges since I was a small girl...and will still watch them today, now that I am becoming an old lady...I think the Stooges are hilarious, and they make me laugh right out loud...
And Benny Hill is just great...I love him, as did my old mom..
Many of us ladies out here, appreciate the same humor as our men do...
I must appologize. You are, however, one of a kind.
Any man would be lucky to know a woman of culture, refinement and class like yourself!
Ah, I thank you...
Now here is my little Benny Hill story, that I have told a number of times, but nonetheless, I shall post it again...
When my brother died, on the day of the funeral, the limo, was coming to the house to pick up my mom and dad, and me and my family...when it pulled up, the limo driver got out...I had been posted at the window, so when the limo pulled up, I called my mom who came to the window...all of a sudden, she screamed, that 'Little Jackie', was the limo driver...well, of course, we figured, that mom, in her grief, had gone berserk...but when I opened the front door, for the limo driver, danged if he wasnt the spitting image of little Jackie Wright...just as short, just as ugly, just as bald, and just as toothless...
We have often laughed about this, many years later...the fact a little Jackie look a like was driving the limo for my brothers funeral, added a much needed note of levity on such a serious matter...
I think I may have caught that episode as well. I was hooked.
