People laughed themselves sick for years without any obscenities.

Marx Brothers,Stooges,Bob Hope mean anything to anyone?

The New Generation of Hollywood have been raised with values, class and morals of total whacked out burnt out parents not all but many of them and that is why they are in the shape there in, Just low life's with money.

At least Jamie Foxx had a grandma who raised him right.

Johnny Carson could get screams of laughter with just a look...just like his hero, Jack Benny.

The cheap laugh reigns supreme and cleverness has gone the way of all flesh...literally.

Too bad.

Johnny Carson. When he passed away and so many bits from his show were shown, I simply pined for the days when humor could be so hilarious yet civil.

Johnnie Carson!! (although he did flip the bird once, but it was really funny when he did).

"Now the freaks are on television, the freaks are in the movies. And it's no longer the sideshow, it's the whole show. The colorful circus and the clowns and the elephants, for all intents and purposes, are gone, and we're dealing only with the freaks."

SO true. And in the presence and with the help of good, decent, fun friends, we still do. Just can't expect the arrested-development contingent of the MSM to deliver real wit.

Hope and Crosby, Abbot and Costello, Laural and Hardy.

One of my favorite movies, Bringing Up Baby.

Ma and Pa Kettle, the Blondie movies, Henry Aldrich, Francis the Talking Mule, I thought all those movies were great when I was a kid.

I loved Robin Williams as Mork from Ork but his stand up material has always been lost on me.

And Al Sharpton, I just don't get at all.
