Yet another classic bit from the late, great Stan Freberg, off of his classic
Stan Freberg presents The United States of America Vol. 1 recording.
I love the premise here, somebody screwed up…

The Old Dogs were four of the biggest superstars from the country music genre.
Mel Tilliss, Bobby Bare, Jerry Reed, and Waylon Jennings got together back in
the 1990’s to do a tour, and a recording, of Shel Silverstein tunes.
This is special, four very famous artists doing some serious songs, and a boat
load of novelty as well.
I love the banter in this one, some good vibes here…

Greg Warren is a top notch stand-up comedian, one of the best.
This bit is superb, in that he shows great insight into the human
condition, and works into the piece quite well.
Passive aggressive indeed…

A splendid scene from the classic Mel Brooks flick, Blazing Saddles.
Gene Wilder, Clevon Little, and Harvey Korman round out this piece
of comedic history.
Made in 1974, this flick has many wonderful lines, and there’s a few
in this slice that provide context…

In celebration of Mel Brooks and his 100th birthday, a scene from the 1968
classic The Producers.
The premise was to make a movie that would bomb at the box office, and
have a huge tax write off to profit from.
The plan failed, the movie was a success.
They thought the movie was so bad that nobody would see it.
They were wrong.
This is America, the worse something is, the more folks want to se it…
