As Joan Rivers said the secret to a great comic is saying what other people are thinking but afraid to say!

"As Joan Rivers said the secret to a great comic is saying what other people are thinking but afraid to say!"

Jack Benny could be funny even when saying almost nothing, as in:

Benny (while shopping, addressing the store clerk, who is facing away from him, adjusting merchandise on the shelves): "Oh, excuse me, sir."

Frank Nelson (turning towards Benny): "E-y-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-s?

Benny (after long pause and glance at the audience): "You! You work here?"

Frank Nelson: "No, I'm one of those bold daylight robbers you read about."

Benny: "Now cut that out!"
